As long as Montez would accept their marriage, Yesseca would be very happy.
Based on what he had said to her, it seemed that he had.
Yesseca had been relieved.
But she didn't expect to see him so depressed at dinner tonight.
Tremaine had a hunch as to why Montez was like this. He then looked at Yesseca.
He then said, "I'll go and talk to him."
Yesseca had wanted to talk to Montez herself, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
She had already talked to him twice.
Although Tremaine wasn't very good at talking to him, he was his biological father. He was the best person to talk to him about this.
Tremaine went to Montez.
Always the straightforward man, he asked Montez what was going with him tonight.
Montez looked up at him and kept quiet.
Tremaine was slightly annoyed by this. "Montez, are you a man? If you are, then just say what you've been thinking about. Don't act like a woman."
Montez lifted up his head.
He looked at Tremaine and spoke as though he had to squeeze out his question, "Daddy, where is my mother?"
"I've already told you, Yesseca is your mother."
Montez replied, "She's not my birth mother!"
Tremaine ignored his protest. "That's not what you asked me. Stop talking about it."
Montez stared straight into Tremaine's eyes and said, "Daddy, you've never actually been with my mom before, have you? You've just borrowed her eggs, didn't you? You made a baby with her eggs. That's how I was born."
Tremaine was shocked.
He looked at Montez, in surprise. "Where did you hear about this?!"
How could a young child like him know about a woman's eggs.
Montez said, "Never mind that. Tell me, am I right?"
"You're too young to know this."
"Daddy, answer me!"
"I don't need to answer you!" Tremaine said, "This conversation is over. Montez, you are not to ask such questions ever again."
Tremaine went to see Madam Quartley later that night.
Montez was still just a child.
He wouldn't have known how he was born.
Unless someone had told him.
Tremaine assumed that Madam Quartley was the culprit.
He went to ask Madam Quartley about this.
She denied doing any such thing.
She said, "Tremaine, I've never told Montez anything"
"How did he find out then?" Tremaine asked suspiciously.
Madam Quartley didn't know either.
After thinking for a while, she then let out a long sigh. "Forget about how he found out. He should know the truth."
"He doesn't need to know."
Madam Quartley looked at Tremaine and said, "Why not? Montez should know about his mother! You want him to believe that he just appeared out
of thin air?"
Madam Quartley suddenly remembered something as she said that.
She then said, emotionally "Montez's birth mother is his teacher, Qiana. She would have been the best match for you. Instead, you chose Yesseca. She and Montez aren't even blood related, she won't be good to him! If you actually cared about Montez, then you should marry Qiana!"
She said, "I should still go and check on him anyway."
Yesseca was about to leave the room as she said this.
Tremaine grabbed her hand and said, "Don't. Montez needs his rest right now. Don't worry about him. Our wedding is the day after tomorrow. You shouldn't be distracted by anything else right now. Just focus on our wedding."
Yesseca's heart skipped a beat.
This was true. The day after tomorrow, she and Tremaine would be getting married. She really shouldn't get distracted by anything right now. She had to make sure the wedding went smoothly.
As for Montez.
Yesseca figured that she had plenty of time to work it out with him.
She would love Montez with all her heart and soul, even better than his own mother would. She would cheer him up and make him happy again.
In Agaphen city.
Selina had been going through a notebook over and over again.
There were a lot of words and notes in the notebook.
Matthew had been watching Selina for a whole hour.
He then asked, "Honey, are you not done reading that yet?"
Selina then said, "No, I need to read it again."
Matthew said helplessly, "You've read it more than ten times now."
She replied, "Doesn't hurt to be careful. I might miss something important."
Selina had written down every detail about Yesseca's trousseau on it.
She had prepared all types of things.
But Selina was still worried that she had missed something.
After going through it several times, she then decided to call Brine for help.
Brine was very good at this.
