Chapter 1738
Those bullies had called him a fool.
But a girl who was passing by saved him.
She drove the bullies away.
She had also helped clean him up and bought him a sweet roll.
He asked the little girl for her name.
She replied.
Her name was Yuliana, she was the youngest daughter of the Fernandez family.
Zorion never forgot her.
But he never saw her again after that day.
When he got older, it was time for him to get married.
Madam Quartley handed him photos of several beautiful women and asked him to choose a bride for himself.
But he didn't want any of them.
He said that the only woman he would marry was Yuliana, the youngest daughter of the Fernandez family.
After they were married, he told Yuliana about that day.
Unfortunately, Yuliana couldn't remember that day at all.
She simply rolled her eyes and said, "I don't remember doing any of that. But who knows what kinds of things I did as a child!" Althought Zorion felt sad about it, he still laughed.
After all, it didn't matter if Yuliana had forgotten. He still remembered.
He remembered her saving him from those bullies when he was a kid.
He also knew that his brain wasn't well developed.
Although he was very well taken care of at home, whenever he went out, he was looked down upon.
Yuliana was the first person from the outside who didn't see him that way.
He always remembered that.
"Ruth, I can't tell you. It's a secret," Zorion answered.
Ruth nodded. "Okay Mr. Zorion, since it's your secret, I won't ask about it."
Although she really wanted to know, she respected him much more than her curiosity.
"I'll stay with you until you've gone to sleep," Ruth added.
Zorion nodded.
Realizing that Yuliana wouldn't be coming after all, Zorion gave up on waiting and was soon fast asleep.
Ruth heard his shallow breathing.
She looked at Zorion with a glimmer in her eyes.
The sleeping Zorion looked so peaceful and handsome. It was a picture perfect moment.
Ruth reached out her hand.
When her fingers touched his face, she gasped and quickly withdrew her hand, as thought she had been hit with an electric shock. What was she doing?!
She had touched his face so brazenly!
Ruth then hastily stood up.
She shouldn't have such delusions about him.
She was just a maid.
A lowly maid.
Ruth rushed out of Zorion's bedroom.
She went back to her bedroom and threw herself onto her bed.
"Ruth, you're just a servant." She said to herself.
In her fit, a memory from her childhood suddenly reappeared in her mind.
There was a time where something happened when she was very young.
She saw a well-dressed young boy being bullied, so she stepped forward and saved him.
The little boy seemed a little silly, but he was very handsome. His face was as fair as freshly fallen snow and his eyes were onyx black.
She helped clean him up by wiping away his blood stains and gave him a sweetroll.
As they said their goodbyes, the boy suddenly asked for her name.
She was feeling very flustered at the time.
She was very young then and didn't know how to respond. She felt insecure about herself.
She looked at the little boy, who was dressed in expensive clothing and felt that she would get looked down upon if she told him that she was just a lowly servant.
So, out of impulse, she answered.
She said that she was Yuliana, the youngest daughter of the Fernandez Group.
She figured that she would never see this boy ever again, so there was no ham in telling a little white lie.
At that time, Ruth was very envious of Yuliana and wished she was as lucky as her.
Because Yuliana had a beautiful
white dress and was given countless
exquisite desserts, while she had
nothing. Yuliana had even scolded
her for touching her dress once.
She had felt so inferior compared to her.
This inferiority complex was deeply rooted inside her.
That's why when that little boy asked for her name.
She'd said that she was Yuliana.
Tremaine had decided.
He wanted to pursue Yesseca.
He had given a lot of thought to this.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He had never pursued a woman before in his entire life.
Based on his understanding, since he fancied Yesseca, she should come to Nashaland and live with him.
But last night, Yesseca had rejected him.
Of course, Tremaine could just bring her over by force.
But he didn't want to upset her.
So after taking some time to think about it, Tremaine decided to pursue Yesseca.
Courting her would be the only way to get Yesseca to join him in Nashaland.
But as for how to do that...
Tremaine realized just how tricky of a situation he was in.
Because he had never courted a woman before.
Tremaine had no idea of where to even begin.
He then called Sheldon over.
Sheldon was just as clueless.
Tremaine stood there quietly.
He recalled Sheldon telling him several times before about his preference for very curvy women. He assumed that Sheldon had several curvaceous women as his
companions, making him an
l
experienced lover!
to ́
But when he saw how hopeless Sheldon looked right now, he realized he had assumed wrong.
He looked at Sheldon quietly. "Sheldon, don't tell me you've never been in love before? You've never been with a woman before either, have you?!"
Sheldon was silent.
His face blushed red.
He was well aware of how shameful it was to be a virgin at his age!
But, this was true!
He had never been with a woman before!
Sheldon responded with a firm grunt, in an attempt to hide his embarrassment.
"I thought you've been with lots of women before. Sexy women!" Tremaine added.
Sheldn was keeping very quiet.
Swallowing his pride, he replied "I made all of that up."
Tremaine snorted coldly. "With your rank, you could have any woman you want."
Sheldon felt embarrassed and said, "Sir, although I agree with you on that, it's not enough for me if the relationship is only physical."
"You're not interested in them physically?" Tremaine asked.
Sheldon was quiet.
He blushed and struggled to get his words out.
Tremaine found Sheldon to be very awkward right now, very unlike the brave and confident soldier that he was on the field.
He glared at him and barked out, "Why are you acting like a woman? Just say it!"
Sheldon looked at him wordlessly.
He braced himself and said, "Sir, of course I want to have a physical relationship: After all, I am a man. straight man. There were several mature and sexy women who would have happily thrown themselves on
me."
"Then?" Tremaine asked.
Huasheng blushed and said, "But still I refused them. After all, it's not much of a relationship if we're not emotionally invested in each other."
"Hmm," Tremaine responded.
Sheldon then asked, "What about you? Don't you have any desire for women with curvy bodies?"
"No." Tremaine answered directly.
He had met plenty of women with amazing bodies, but had never fancied any of them.
Sheldon was shocked. "Then are you even interested in women?!"
Tremaine rolled his eyes at him. "Of course I am."
He was very interested in Yesseca.
Aside from her, he wasn't interested in any other women.
