Tremaine's lips twitched.
He loved Yesseca.
He loved her very much.
But he still found this very troublesome.
Matthew smiled and said, "All I've really told you tonight is that whenever she gets in a bad mood, you need to
pay more attention to the small details. It's not as difficult as it sounds."
Tremaine asked, "Is this how you usually behave with your own family?"
"Yes, that's right."
Tremaine carefully studied Matthew's face then clicked his tongue in wonder, "It's a miracle that you still look so
young."
Before Matthew could respond, Tremaine added, "You've spent so much effort on that woman, yet you've
maintained your youthful appearance. If | were you, | would have ended up looking like an 80-year-old man."
Matthew looked at him quietly.
He laughed.
But after thinking about it, Matthew felt that he and Tremaine had very different opinions.
They had very different personalities after all.
And people with different personalities would handle situations very differently as well. With that in mind, he
decided it was best not to hold Tremaine to certain expectations. It was enough that Tremaine had grasped the
general idea from his advice. Matthew then said, "Tremaine, you're a very smart man. | think you should go
hand think about this. You'll figure it out much sooner than you think."
Tremaine's eyes glistened with suspicion.
After a moment he then said, "Women really are troublescreatures."
After saying that, Tremaine stood up then added, "Men are just the same. They clearly know that women are
troublescreatures. So long as they ignore them, things will be fine. Why do they have to be bothered by
them?" Matthew was silent.
A smile appeared on his face.
This was Tremaine's way of saying he would be going hto talk to Yesseca.
Yeah, he was a smart man, alright.
Although it took him seffort to learn about what a relationship between a man and woman was like, he

Matthew stood up as well and said, "Tremaine, there is one more thing | need to remind you about."
Tremaine felt like his head was about to explode.
He said, "Don't tellyet. | haven't finished digesting everything you've just told you. Letwork all of that
out first."
Matthew laughed.
He said, "What | want to tell you isn't about Yesseca, it's about the president of Megeland."
Tremaine froze.
Matthew lowered his voice and said, "Although you took Yesseca to dinner tonight and have successfully blocked
his chances of proposing a marriage of state, he did travel all that way to Nashaland in person, which means he
is very determined to succeed. I'm afraid this won't be an easy thing to settle."
Pausing for a moment, Matthew then whispered. "Forming an alliance with Megeland is a very big deal for
Nashaland. Sgoes for Megeland. The president of Megeland will not give this up easily." Tremaine's eyes
filled with anger.
He knew that Matthew was an excellent businessman. He was one of the top businessmen in the world for
managing the Perry Group. But now he realized that Matthew wasn't just an excellent businessman, he was also
very aware of how things were politically in the country.
Tremaine began to appreciate Matthew even more.
If he was willing to enter into politics, Matthew would be a very reliable ally!
"| understand what you mean." Tremaine whispered back, "Don't worry, since I've decided to be with Yesseca, |
will handle it."
Matthew nodded at Tremaine.
He knew that Tremaine would have his own ways of solving this, so he didn't say anything else.
Matthew then said, "Well then Tremaine, we should take our leave."
Tremaine suddenly reached out his hand and patted Matthew on the shoulder. "Matthew, | rarely meet anyone
who gets along with me. You are the first, | admire you very much." Matthew looked at Tremaine and smiled. "Oh
Tremaine, it's a pity then that | have to disagree with you on that."
Tremaine was quiet.
His face froze.
Matthew added, "I'm only close to you because of Yesseca. We can't be friends, I'm afraid. I'm just a
businessman after all."
Tremaine pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
He felt all sorts of emotions surging inside him. But then he laughed out loud and smiled.
His smile looked somewhat conflicted.
Tremaine sighed, "Matthew, you're so smart. Unfortunately, we'll never get along."
There was a tinge of loneliness in his voice.
Matthew was the smartest man he had ever met.
So smart, that he had seen right through him. He had wanted Matthew to be on his side, and
Vernet
wanted him to be a governet
official. This was the only way
Matthew would be able to refuse his
BUMS
offer.
Matthew smiled and whispered, "Tremaine, let's head home. Yesseca is still waiting for you."
Tremaine didn't leave right away.
"Matthew, why don't you work for the government? You're very smart and insightful. If someone like you were to
work for the government, you would achieve great things." Tremaine really believed that if Matthew took on a
governmental role, he would be in no way inferior
to him.
Matthew spoke knowingly. "Then
why didn't you marry Navidia? Marrying her would bring you so many benefits and it would also save you a lot of
trouble. Why did you bother to put in so much effort to reject her?"
Tremaine snorted, "Because | don't love that woman."
Matthew looked at him with his deep eyes. "That is exactly what | mean to express."
Tremaine was quiet.

He understood what Matthew meant. He wanted to say something else, but decided not to anymore.
Since Matthew had already made it clear, anything else he said would just be a waste of words. It would be
completely useless.
Before leaving, Tremaine said one last thing to him, "Matthew, | have to say, | really do appreciate you."
He then returned to the Quartley Palace.
Tremaine got off the plane and then went straight into Yesseca's bedroom.
The door to her bedroom wasn't locked, so Tremaine pushed it open easily.
It was pitch dark inside.
But Tremaine knew that Yesseca hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Because when he pushed the door open, he noticed a dark shadow on the bed had moved.
Tremaine walked over.
He laid down on the bed and hugged Yesseca.
Her body was a little stiff, but she didn't resist.
Tremaine looked at her curiously.
He wasn't sure if she was pretending to be asleep.
He then reached into her clothes.
A moment of silence.
Slap!
Yesseca had slapped Tremaine's hand hard. She shouted at him angrily, "Tremaine, you hooligan!"
She wasn't asleep. When she heard Tremaine walk in, she had wanted to pretend to be asleep, because she
didn't want to see him. She didn't expect him to be so shameless as to
reach his hand into her clothes!
He was simply much too shameless.
Tremaine said with a faint smile, "Weren't you pretending to be asleep? Why wake up now? Don't you want to
pretend anymore?"
Yesseca was quiet.
She was breathing heavily. "I don't want to talk to you. Leave."
