In this society congested with unrestricted material desires, to be able to invoke someone to be so hung up on one person is a rare sight indeed. Anyways, I'm proud to have a husband like him, hence I don't mind, I don't mind at all."
Rorita then looked at Madam Quartley pleadingly. "Madam Quartley, please promise me this."
In the face of her pleading gaze, how could she say no?
She heaved out a long sigh, "Rorita, whatever you say will be done. I promise you this, all of it I promise."
From afar, a flash of disbelief appeared in Tremaine's eyes.
If what Rorita said was unexpected for Madam Quartley, it was even more so for Tremaine.
He didn't expect that at this juncture, Rorita didn't hold the slightest bit of resentment. Not only did she not say anything bad about him in front of Madam Quartley, nor complain up a storm, she spoke up for him instead.
This surprised him.
This shocked him.
Mixed feelings suddenly welled up in his heart.
The next day soon arrived.
It was yet another new day.
Rorita was eating dinner alone as usual.
Despite the fact Ruth's child was to be raised by her, as Madam Quartley hold extreme fondness for the child, he was constantly carried away to her side of the palace. Therefore, since Madam Quartley accompanied the child in his daily meals, her meals were always spent on her own.
It was just as she was eating with a lowered head that a servant suddenly ran over excitedly and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, Mr. Tremaine has returned!"
Rorita froze. "Mr. Tremaine has returned?"
The hour was still early, but Mr. Tremaine was already back?
It should be known that his return last night was already considered to be quite early, even though it was nearly nine o'clock, this time around it was only about six o'clock that evening...
Did you check properly? Is Mr. Tremaine really back?" Rorita questioned.
The servant nodded fervently. "Miss, it's indeed
Mr. Tremaine. I saw him clearly."
Rorita also began to get excited.
She shot up from her seat. "I didn't brush my hair, I didn't even change my clothes. Let me first change my hair, brush my clothes."
Rorita almost took off after she stammered out her excitement, but suddenly stopped after she walked about two steps. She turned to the servant and instructed them, "Once Mr. Tremaine arrives, just let him have his meal first. I'll be down shortly."
