No wonder even though she had not accepted previously, the Quartley family first had the butler to invite her, and now this man had come. It turned out that it was all because of Montez.
Yesseca didn't expect that Montez, whom she had only met once, would like her so much. She even felt a little happy.
However, when she thought of this man...
Yesseca just couldn't understand how such an interesting and cute child could have such an annoying father.
Montez noticed that Yesseca wasn't speaking, thus his eyes started to tear up. "Pretty lady, I like you so much. Why don't you take care of me?"
Yesseca felt that her heart was about to melt.
However, she really hated Tremaine, and she had already promised her brother that she would not work during this time. Therefore, she could only be hard-hearted. "My little friend, I have something to attend to for now, thus I can't go. Your family is rich, you'll be able to find a lot of other maids to accompany you."
Disappointment flashed across Montez's face.
He still wanted to say something but Tremaine dragged him away.
Before they left, Tremaine glanced penetratingly at Yesseca.
This woman had applied for the job in the Quartley family before, but now she didn't want it. Was she trying to play hard to get?
It seemed like he had underestimated this woman.
Tremaine dragged Montez into the car.
Along the way, Montez was babbling, "Daddy, I really like that pretty lady. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
"Daddy, she is so gentle. Her voice is also very soft."
"Daddy, I think she is a goddess. I want her to come to the Quartley family. When I grow up, I will definitely marry her."
The corner of Tremaine's lips twitched.
He gave Montez's head a hard knock and said, "Shut up!"
Montez looked aggrieved. "But Daddy, I really like her very much!"
Tremaine glanced at Montez from the corner of his eyes. "Other men want to find younger women. You found yourself a woman who could be as old as your mother!"
Montez kept silent.
He immediately defended Yesseca, "She's not old at all. She's very young, much younger than you, Daddy."
"Compared to you, she is old." Tremaine stared deeply at Montez.
Montez stuck out his tongue.
He thought in his heart. He had remembered that someone on television said that it was not easy to pursue a girl. One had to go through tons of hardships!
Therefore, he shouldn't be discouraged if he didn't manage to invite that pretty lady over. He had to think of other ways.
"Is there any other way?"
Montez fell into deep thought.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. On the fifth day, Tobias called to inform Matthew about some good news.
He had finally found the medicine that Matthew had talked about.
The medicine that could suppress Saoirse's illness until they found suitable bone marrow to undergo the transplant process.
However, the effectiveness of the medicine was not 100% guaranteed.
"Tobias, get someone to deliver the medicine to me as soon as possible. Even if it doesn't work, she has to try it," Matthew said.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
After a long time, Tobias' low and deep voice was heard. "Matthew, I know I shouldn't say this, but I have to be selfish and say it. If the medicine can help Saoirse to survive, then the entanglement between you and her may last for more than one month."
If there was no medicine, Matthew would accompany Saoirse just for this month, and she might die after. From then on, the ties and troubles that Matthew and Selina were facing would no longer exist.
If Saoirse was still alive, the ties and troubles that Matthew and Selina were facing would be prolonged.
No one could guarantee that if she survived, she would not continue to pester Matthew.
