My Heart only Beats for You

Even if Qiana did not know what others thought about Yesseca, she did know that Madam Quartley disliked Yesseca. As long as she kept instigating, there would be a tear in Madam Quartley's relationship with Yesseca.

That was why Montez said such an ambiguous word.

He was very smart for his young age.

"What about your dad? Does he like Yesseca too?" Qiana asked with a smile.

Her smile and her tone were natural, just like how anyone would when chatting with others. No one would have any doubts about her.

Hearing her words, Montez paused to think.

Did his dad like Yesseca?

He concluded his dad might not like her.

Because his dad liked no one.

"My dad..." Montez sighed, "he likes no one."

Qiana was elated.

From Madam Quartley's words, Tremaine seemed like he was interested in Yesseca. However, Montez was saying that his dad did not like her. With that, she still felt relieved regardless.

"But..." Suddenly, Montez said, "I will try my best to make my dad like Yesseca. Even if I have to use all my power, I will make it happen."

She tensed up again.

It seemed that he was determined to have Yesseca as her stepmother. Seeing how much Madam Quartley cared for her great-grandson, she might be influenced by Montez too.

Just as Qiana was thinking about how to make Montez give up on the idea of making Yesseca his stepmother, he spoke again, "After all, Yesseca will become my wife in the future. I hope that Yesseca and my dad could have a great relationship since they would become in- laws. This is an important matter to me."

His words rendered her silent.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

Right then, Montez seemed to realize he had spoken his mind by accident.

Quickly, he covered his mouth and said. "Miss Lanes, I said nothing. I didn't say anything."

Qiana squatted down and showing her pinky, saying, "Don't worry, Montez. I will help you keep it a secret. I won't tell anyone. This is only between us."

Her actions imperceptibly pulled them closer.

With wide eyes, Montez asked, "Really?"

Qiana nodded her head.

his pinky, he said, "Okay, you can't tell anyone. I'm still young, and it will be a long time before I could marry Yesseca. I don't want everyone to know about it."
