"Other than suicide, what other reason is there?"
Tremaine's mouth turned down at the corners, a ripple of emotion flashed briefly within his dark eyes.
He was not the type of person who liked to lie.
But at that moment, he decided to create one.
That's because absolutely no one in the Quartley Palace would have allowed him to carry out what he planned to do.
Usually, he did not need to consider others when he did things, plus no one could stop him once he made his decision.
However, he didn't wish to create a mess of a scene within the last moments that he had.
Nor did he wish for the people in the Quartley Palace to be sad for him.
"Rorita, once Yesseca dies, I want to take her ashes to a place where no one could disturb us and spend the rest of my days in that manner," Tremaine suddenly declared. "With that being said, I'm sure you can understand."
Rorita was shocked.
She stared at Tremaine in astonishment, her eyelashes fluttering violently.
It turned out he wasn't going to commit suicide out of lost love... He just wanted to live a sequestered life.
He just wanted to bring Yesseca's ashes with him and to flee to a faraway place.
"Mr. Tremaine, you're going to abandon Nashaland, abandon its people?" Rorita's voice quivered as she asked.
"I'm sorry." Tremaine could only reply with these two words.
A sheen of tears welled up within her eyes.
Mr. Tremaine was truly a deeply affectionate and faithful man.
Even now when Yesseca was still alive, she was constantly on his mind, unable to be forgotten.
But when her time would come, he would flee to whereabouts unknown together with her ashes.
At the same time, for all that he's such an affectionate and faithful man; only Yesseca had his love while he was stone-hearted to others.
"Mr. Tremaine, have you never considered the pain and misery we would feel if you leave just like this?" A single tear fell from Rorita's eye and trailed down her face.
