She thought that since Yesseca seemed to be so close with Montez, she would definitely know his mother.
Yesseca shook her head. "He doesn't have a mother."
Preslie fell silent.
He didn't have a mother?
That meant that his mother was dead!
Realization dawned upon Preslie. "No wonder you're so important to him! He probably thinks of you as his mother!"
Yesseca's breath caught in her throat.
Montez thought of herself as his mother?
She suddenly thought of Tremaine.
Montez was Tremaine's son.
If Montez thought of her as his mother, then she and Tremaine...
Yesseca quickly clenched her fists, digging her nails into her flesh to clear her mind of these convoluted thoughts.
What was she even thinking about!
Everyone in the Quartley family could see that Montez was down in the dumps.
He fiddled with his cutlery as they had dinner.
Though Madam Quartley was preoccupied with thoughts of Tremaine, she couldn't help worrying about Montez.
She asked Montez what had happened.
He did not reply.
Madam Quartley continued pressing for answers. Montez suddenly threw his cutlery down on the table and choked out, "I've been dumped!"
After that, he stormed off.
He ran back to his room and slammed the door shut, refusing to open it despite their pleading.
Madam Quartley was taken aback.
To think that he was going through a breakup at such a young age!
He was still in kindergarten!
Was he already dating someone?
Goodness gracious!
How'd he become so precocious?
Madam Quartley decided to pay a visit to
Montez's kindergarten the next day to speak with his class teacher.
How could he have started dating someone while still in kindergarten and even gotten dumped?
The next day soon arrived.
Madam Quartley went to the kindergarten in person.
Montez's class teacher was still Qiana. Madam Quartley had arranged for her to become the class teacher at this kindergarten for elites when Qiana had come here with them from Nashaland.
Madam Quartley had given Qiana a call the night before.
Qiana had zero idea what was going on.
She said that she would ask Montez in the morning.
Madam Quartley arrived at around ten o'clock,.
Qiana had also finished speaking with Montez.
He had great trust in her. Montez was already sad, to begin with, and he spilt his guts when Qiana consoled him gently.
Qiana immediately grasped the situation.
It turned out that Montez was absolutely devastated that Yesseca was about to get married.
Qiana, on the other hand, was elated.
She had originally thought of Yesseca as a strong opponent, but this was obviously no longer a concern.
Yesseca was actually married!
