Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 111

"Oh, okay." Marguerite slurred out through heavy eyelids, nearly falling asleep.

"You agreed?"

Agreed?

What on earth did she agree to?

Marguerite tried to fight the fatigue, attempting to recall what Frederick just said, and then her eyes widened in surprise.

What?

Frederick was taking her to his father's birthday party?

This was the first time she'd heard anything about his family from him, and she couldn't help but be a bit taken aback.

Shifting slightly on the bed, she attempted to put some distance between them. "We're nearly divorced. Is it really appropriate for me to meet your family now?"

Frederick casually draped his arm over her waist. "I just need you there to ward off other women. Don’t overthink it.”

“You could take Yuna.”

At the mention of Yuna, Frederick’s brows furrowed even more.

There was no way he was taking Yuna. Sure, she was better-looking than Marguerite, but she was just so obnoxious.

He didn’t expect Marguerite to be so opposed to the idea.

When she instinctively brought up Yuna’s name, Frederick’s heart sank a little.

“Marguerite, it’s none of your business.”

After a bit of bickering, Marguerite finally heard a warning in Frederick’s tone, and it put a damper on her mood.

She propped her cheek on her hand, indecisively saying, "But... but..."

She stuttered for a while but couldn't articulate a clear reason.

Marguerite herself didn't understand why she was so opposed to meeting his parents.

Frederick wanted to use her to ward off other women; his parents probably didn't even know she existed.

So under these circumstances, they definitely wouldn't like her.
