Yuliana also chipped in at this point, "Grandma, this must all be orchestrated by Yesseca! She hates us so much that she didn't even want us to live well after she dies! Tremaine must be muddle-headed to think so highly of this woman!"
Rorita remained silent in the face of this back and forth between Madam Quartley and Yuliana. Finally, it was Madam Quartley who realized what was wrong and stopped running her mouth.
She then looked at Rorita uneasily. "Rorita, are you okay?"
She was afraid that Rorita would be heartbroken due to Tremaine's deep love for Yesseca.
Rorita shook her head in reply, "I had a long talk with Mr. Tremaine yesterday, Grandma. His mind has been made up, and there's no room for negotiations. Since it has come to this, let's respect his decision. After all, life is too short. Following his heart's desire may not necessarily be a bad thing."
Prime case and example being her marriage to Tremaine.
She clearly knew that Tremaine already had another woman in his heart, that she would just be a puppet wife after she married into his family. Still, she carried on without hesitation, because she wanted to follow her heart.
At the same time, she should also understand Tremaine's side of things.
He would be utterly despondent once she passed away, hence there was nothing wrong with his want to bring her ashes to live a sequestered life.
Madam Quartley was stupefied when she heard what Rorita said, whereas smoke just about billowed out from Yuliana's nostrils.
The more she looked at Rorita, the more stupid she seemed!
Hopelessly stupid!
Simply stupid as a pig!
How could Tremaine marry such a stupid woman!
To live by following their heart's desire may not necessarily be a bad thing?!
Hah!
That's right!
He, Tremaine, had indeed followed his heart and lived. Then what about the rest of them??
With Tremaine gone, how could they maintain not only their life above but also the lives of numerous people below them!?
Yuliana couldn't help but cry out, "Grandma, do you hear what she's saying?? Did she get muddle-headed by Tremaine as well to utter such brainless words?!"
Madam Quartley felt somewhat lightheaded.
