Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 107

Frederick’s frown deepened.

Every time he thought of Yuna, the image of her sharp tongue popped into his mind, sparking a sense of disgust that he couldn’t shake off.

But she was the woman who had saved his life once.

He had promised to marry her before. It was a responsibility he couldn't just get rid of.

Irritated, he took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, “I need some more time to think. Leave me alone for now.”

Hearing this, Chuck didn’t dare push it any further and left the room with a sense of disappointment.

…

Six o’clock in the evening, dining room.

A lavish and delicious dinner was prepared by the chef. There were grilled meats, lobsters, and even cheese pizzas.

But Marguerite felt sick at the sight of all the food, especially the greasy grilled meat; it made her want to throw up just looking at it.

Her face was pale, which caught Frederick's attention. He quietly asked, "What's wrong? Can't eat?"

Marguerite felt terrible all over. She cradled her heavy head and gently shook it. Her weak voice could break your heart. “I don't know why; I just feel really sick.”

Seeing this, Sadie stepped forward to feel Marguerite's forehead and said worriedly. “Ms. Lockwood is a bit feverish; she might have caught a cold from the fall into the water earlier.”

At that moment, Laverne stuffed a piece of grilled meat into her mouth, causing her lips to turn greasy. Marguerite felt her stomach churn at the sight.

"I'm sorry, I'm feeling too sick. I need to lie down."

After saying this, Marguerite, clutching her chest, headed upstairs.

Frederick's gaze followed Marguerite. His eyes were filled with worry, and his expression turned unnatural.

"Sadie, bring her some cold medicine."

"Yes, Mr. Winston."

Sadie went to the infirmary.
