Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 138

Paternity test?

Even though Marguerite wasn't clear about who the father of the child in her belly was, she was pretty sure it wasn't Frederick.

It was plain as day, no need for a paternity test.

Marguerite took a deep breath, "Steven, thanks for your concern, but no thanks."

Steven was taken aback, "Why?"

"It's pointless."

When Steven understood what Marguerite meant, he was deeply shocked, "Marguerite, is the child in your belly really not Frederick's?"

This matter had already caused Marguerite a lot of pain, so when Steven questioned her, she felt her wounds being reopened and insulted again.

She answered a few words in a fluster and then hung up the phone.

Steven stared at the phone screen in a daze, completely unable to snap back to reality.

"Steven?" Janie waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Stop zoning out, Mr. Powell woke up, and the other doctors are there. Are you going to check it out?"

Steven shook his head, "No, you go first, let me think for a bit."

Janie shrugged her shoulders, and closed the door on her way out.

Steven immediately grabbed a glass of ice water and gulped it down, trying to clear his head.

Then he pulled out a picture frame from the drawer, inside was a picture of Marguerite smiling.

Since it was a candid shot, the quality of the photo wasn't very good, but Marguerite's face was clear as day. Her big eyes exuded an innocent yet determined aura.

How could such an innocent girl have an illegitimate child?

What on earth went wrong?

Meanwhile, in the study room of Sapphire Valley Estates.

The room was filled with smoke. Frederick stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, continuously smoking.
