This was also why she was so insisting!
"Preslie!" Sheldon could not help but raise his voice again, "Before I came here, I have asked Mr. Tremaine if he still has any thoughts of being with Yesseca. Mr. Tremaine has given me a firm answer and said he no longer have such thoughts!"
Sheldon raised up his hand and swore, "I cross my heart and hope to die if I am lying!"
Preslie was stunned.
Sheldon's oath was like a clap of thunder slamming down on her head, it immediately pulled her back from her fiery anger.
Could it be that she was the one who had made a mistake?
Since Mr. Hawls dared to swear like this, did it mean that there really was a misunderstanding?
Preslie suddenly felt embarrassed and she fell silent.
On the other side, upon hearing Sheldon's oath, Yesseca's heart felt cold and empty.
However, she soon let out a bitter laugh.
What was wrong with her?
Wasn't this what she wanted?
She wanted Tremaine to forget about her and now Tremaine really did. But why did it make her heart feel empty?
She should be feeling happy!
Ecstatic even!
Yesseca tried her best to smile and said, "If the Quartley Palace really likes our desserts, then we can provide it to them in the future! After all, we are doing business... and business is for everyone. There is no reason for us to push our customers away!"
Since Tremaine could forget about her, then she could forget about him too!
Besides, this was all in the past.
The feud between her and Tremaine had long been settled, the same could be said for the Quartley Palace.
Yesseca sighed.
She looked at Preslie and said seriously, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but now that Tremaine is married and I have my own business, our grievances have long been resolved. I am ready to let him go too, why are you so stubborn?"
"Mr. Hawls is a good man. Don't quarrel with him because of me. If you have time, you should treat him to dinner and apologize while you can."
Preslie felt quite awkward. She hesitated for a while and said, "Apologize? I won't apologize. I did not do anything wrong. Besides, he is a man. Shouldn't he show more demeanor?"
Yesseca did not know what to say.
She wanted to but chose not to at last.
Sheldon returned to Nashaland after he left Agaphen City.
After he arrived at Agaphen City, Sheldon immediately told Tremaine about Yesseca's response.
Tremaine replied in a low voice, "Okay."
