Sheldon thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure she's willing to see you."
He remembered how fond Yesseca was of Montez.
On top of that, he was just a little boy.
No matter how much Yesseca hated Tremaine, she was sure to be happy to see Montez.
"I think I may have badly hurt Yesseca." Montez said this as he touched the car window with his hand, "I had terribly misunderstood her back then and let her walk out of the Quartley Palace."
"I've... I've been a terrible person. I didn't believe in Yesseca when she needed me to." Montez said remorsefully.
"There, there, Montez." Sheldon comforted him. "I'm sure Miss Cowell will forgive you for all of that."
Montez was just an innocent young boy after all.
Back then, he was convinced that Qiana was his birth mother.
Any child would place complete trust on his own mother.
So it wasn't surprising to see Montez to have done
what he did.
Montez sniffed then looked up at Sheldon. His dark eyes were round and large, but they lacked the bright youthful glimmer it once had. "But Mr. Hawls, Yesseca isn't going to ever forgive my dad, us she?"
Sheldon didn't know how to respond to that question.
He wasn't sure how much Montez knew about what had happened between Tremaine and Yesseca.
"She's definitely never going to forgive your dad." Seeing how quiet Sheldon was, Montez then murmured, "I know that's for certain, because dad is going to marry another woman."
"I know that my dad really loves Yesseca and wants to marry her. But I was against them getting married because I loved Yesseca too. I wanted to marry her after I had grown up."
"But now, I want Yesseca to marry my dad. Dad isn't the same person he was anymore, he's changed. He always looks so sad every day. If letting Yesseca go, so that she can be with my dad means that my dad will be happy again, I will happily do so."
Montez's childish muttering rendered Sheldon speechless.
All he could do was pat Montez's head and say, "That's enough Montez. The president is going to be married soon. It would be impossible for him to marry Miss Cowell at this point. The president is simply giving you permission to visit Miss Cowell, that's all. As for all those things you said, don't repeat any of that in front of Miss Cowell."
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped outside of Yessica's bakery.
Montez was confused. He turned to Sheldon and said, "Mr. Hawls, this isn't Yesseca's home."
Sheldon then explained, "Montez, Miss Cowell opened a bakery. She should be in there right now."
"Oh." Montez was surprised. "Yesseca's opened a bakery. It's such a big and lovely store."
"Comethen Montez. I'll walk you inside."
Montez hesitated and said softly, "Mr. Hawls, could you please go inside and tell Yesseca that I've come to see her? I'm afraid she might not want to see me."
Sheldon felt distressed seeing how careful Montez was.
He agreed right away. "Alright Montez, I'll go in and ask her right now."
Yesseca and Preslie were chatting with each other in the store.
They had just confirmed a large business deal.
The administrative manager of a large company loved the desserts they served in their bakery and has made a deal with them to supply their company with fresh desserts daily.
Yesseca had just signed the contract with the manager.
Looking at the contract in her hand, Preslie exclaimed happily, "Oh Yesseca this is great! This deal is going to make us rich!"
Yesseca laughed, "Come on Preslie, don't just think about the money. This deal means we're going to have to make even more desserts than just the two of us can handle. We're going to have to hire more people and also source for more ingredients."
