Chapter 2088
Everyone had been caught off guard. They were all in a daze.
Merlin said that Preslie had lost weight, but Preslie also noticed that Merlin was thinner too. Even her dark circles were more prominent. "Actually, I'm fine apart from getting less sleep. Miss Merlin, you're just like me, with dark eyebags under your eyes," Preslie said.
Merlin laughed and said, "Hang in there. Once the restructuring is done, you won't be so tired."
Preslie nodded.
She thought, "I hope this restructuring can be completed quickly, otherwise I won't be able to stand it anymore. I come home early every morning. It's already two o'clock. I have to go to work at eight o'clock the next day. I can't even sleep for six hours."
Preslie was really tired.
Perhaps because she had drunk two cups of coffee, Preslie felt better. She felt as though her mind was clearer.
When she was about to return to her office, she suddenly thought of Yesseca.
Preslie wondered if she should give Yesseca a call.
After all, she hadn't contacted Yesseca for a long time.
Preslie took out her mobile phone and dialed.
However, no one answered.
Preslie put the phone back into her pocket.
For some reason, Yesseca's phone seemed to have been turned off for some time.
Preslie wanted to spend some time with Yesseca since it had been a while since they last saw each other.
If she could not get through to her on the phone, she would go to Quartley Palace.
It was almost time for class to end at kindergarten.
Qiana waited at the gate.
Since Nashaland focused on equality, there was not too much of a difference between nobility and commoners even in kindergartens.
For example, in the neighborhood for commoners, when classes ended, the parents stood at the gate of the kindergarten, waiting to pick up their children.
It was the same in the neighborhood for nobility.
At this moment, Qiana and a group of parents were waiting at the door.
Many of these parents were old.
They looked at the children in the class through the window with smiles on their faces and shining eyes.
Only Qiana's face was cold.
She did not have a child there.
In front of Montez and others, she had to pretend that she loved Montez deeply. But when no one was around, she did not care.
When Qiana saw Montez playing with the building blocks alone in the class, her gaze turned colder and colder.
She didn't like Montez
Not at all.
Even if he was sensible, clever, and good-looking.
Qiana still did not like him.
If it was possible, after she succeeded in currying favor with Tremaine, she would prefer if Montez just died!
However even though she did not like him, she had to pretend she did.
After all, Montez was Tremaine's child. In order to get on Tremaine's good side, she had to pretend. But compared with being the wife of the president, pretending to be a loving mother was nothing to her.
The classes for older students ended early, so Ruth managed to finish class sooner as well.
She was almost two months pregnant, but because she was thin, no one could tell she was pregnant.
After going downstairs, Ruth realized it was time for class for the younger students.
Ruth held her breath.
No, she had to leave as soon as possible. She did not want to bump into Montez.
Just as Ruth started to quicken her pace, she saw Qiana.
Ruth could not help but pause.
She saw Qiana, who had a cold and somewhat disdainful look in her eyes.
Doubt flashed in Ruth's eyes.
She knew that this woman was Montez's birth mother.
While she was working in the kindergarten, she had inadvertently heard Montez call this woman
"mom".
Before, when she was at Quartley Palace, she'd known that Montez did not have a mother. She remembered hearing that Montez was conceived through surrogacy.
The woman was probably found later.
Of course, Ruth was also a little surprised.
After all, Yesseca and Tremaine were now together, which meant that Yesseca could be Montez's mother. Why did they find his biological mother?
It was strange, but Ruth had not thought too much about it.
After all, she was not in Quartley Palace now. Everything in Quartley Palace had nothing to do with her.
But when she saw the woman's eyes at this moment, she felt that something was wrong again.
She had been working in kindergarten for so long, and she had seen many parents.
Whenever parents looked at their children in the class through the window, they were all smiling and happy. It was the first time for her to see a parent with such cold eyes.

While Ruth was still in a daze, children came out
of the class.
Ruth immediately leaned against the wall.
From this angle, she could see the scene over there, but the people over there could not see her.
Soon, Ruth saw Montez coming out.
The moment Montez appeared, the
woman seemed to have changed her expression. Her cold and scornful expression completely vanished in an instant and she became a loving mother.
"Montez," said the woman as she caressed Montez's head.
Montez raised him head, "Mommy."
The woman took Montez's hand and said, "Montez, let's go home."
Montez nodded.
After taking two steps, Montez suddenly asked, "Mommy, do you think Yesseca will come back to Quartley Palace? I haven't seen her for a long
time."
The woman smiled and said,
"Montez, I told you before that
Yesseca won't come back. She and
ene
your daddy have separated. She won't come back to Quartley Palace.
It will just be the three of us now."
Montez's mouth was agape.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the face of the woman's gentle smile, he couldn't say a word.
Montez lowered his head and did not speak.
The woman touched his head and smiled even more gently.
Soon, the two walked off, away from Ruth's gaze.
Ruth was thinking.
Had Yesseca already separated from Tremaine?
Was he with this woman?
Ruth immediately took out her phone.
She still had Yesseca's phone number.
She wanted to call Yesseca.
But when she dialed the number, it was no longer working.
Ruth looked uneasy.NôvelDrama.Org content.
What was going on?
What was going on between Yesseca and Tremaine?
And the woman just now!
Thinking of the coldness and contempt on that woman's face, and the fact that she seemed to have changed her expression entirely...
Ruth bit her lip.
Why did she feel that something was wrong?
Qiana brought Montez back to the Quartley Palace.
After entering the Quartley Palace, Montez asked, "Why did Daddy and Yesseca break up?"
