My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1883

Preslie had wanted to tell Yesseca about it after getting groceries. But she kept dragging it out as she didn't want Yesseca to be upset.

Since Yesseca had asked, she couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

She said, "Yesseca, do you know that Megeland's president is visiting Nashaland?"

Yesseca was stunned.

Why would Megeland's president visit Nashaland?

Didn't their princess end her visit just a while ago? So why would their president come now?

Seeing how she was still confused, Preslie explained, "He is here to force Tremaine into marrying his daughter. Do you know how serious this is?"

A soft thud sounded.

A tomato which was in Yesseca's hand fell to the ground.

She had wanted to prepare a dish with tomatoes, so she was carefully picking out the best one available.

Preslie bent over, picking up the tomato that was rolling on the ground.

She comforted Yesseca, "Don't be nervous. I'm not too sure about it either, but I can tell how sincere Tremaine is to you. This visit wouldn't do anything to you. I just wanted you to know."

Then, she stopped, not daring to say more.

This was because she had come to realize something just a little while.

And that was that she was a dull woman who caused trouble all the time.

Therefore, she had learned to hold back a little. This way, she could keep herself out of trouble.

Now, she had told Yesseca the news. What Yesseca would do was in her own hands.

Preslie thought that she could not help her, considering her intelligence. So she should better steer clear than be involved.

Yesseca didn't say anything.

It was apparent that she was no longer in a good mood and was somewhat gloomy.

She said, "I understand."

Facing Yesseca's disappointment, Preslie wanted to say something, but she forced herself not to.

Yesseca returned to Quartley Palace.

On the way back, she was in a trance.

She thought of Hogan's sudden visit the night before. It must be related to this visit, and he was here to inform Tremaine about it.

Thinking about this, she felt sad.

She had been enlightened after her trip home to the Perrys and talking to Matthew. She was feeling hopeful and confident too.

But now, she felt that how bleak the future was.

Since Megeland's president was visiting and going to propose a marriage of state, could Tremaine refuse?

Yesseca thought that it was impossible.

Although she didn't know much about politics, she was clear that if Tremaine refused, it would mean humiliation to the Megeland's president, and the two nations would become enemies.

The more she thought, the more worried she became.

She looked at the bag of groceries she had in her hands, not knowing what to do.

Should she still cook dinner?

If she did, would Tremaine come back for dinner?

Since Megeland's president was here, he would have to accompany him and Navidia.

Yesseca's grip on the bag tightened.

After a while, she decided to make a phone call to Tremaine.

If he said he would come home, she would make a table full of dishes for him.

If he did not...

She would give up her idea.

Even if she did cook, no one would be there to consume them.
