Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 150

Frederick's abrupt question took Marguerite by surprise.

The way he asked, it was as if he knew all along about her sapphire necklace.

But she had lost that necklace, so there was no way Frederick could have seen it around Yuna's neck.

Perhaps he was just following up on the shop owner's comment.

"I lost it..." Marguerite admitted, her eyes betraying her unease.

Frederick's eyes turned icy upon hearing this.

Marguerite was puzzled. Why was he getting so worked up over her lost necklace?

Especially when Yuna didn't even have it in the first place.

Marguerite ruminated on this, suddenly regretting bringing Frederick to this photo studio.

To Frederick, she was Yuna, but to the shop owner, she was Marguerite.

Even though the owner didn't know her real name.

What surprised her was that the shop owner remembered things from many years ago!

If he continued to talk, her cover might be blown!

Marguerite, anxious, quickly changed the subject. "Sir, it's almost midnight. It's my birthday today, and I want to capture this moment. We're short on time."

The shop owner quickly put down his pipe. "No problem! Sit over there, the same seaside backdrop as before, okay?"

"Sure!" Marguerite readily agreed while Frederick's brows furrowed even deeper.

In this digital age, this old, decrepit photo studio was still using a vintage large-format camera!

It was as though Frederick had been transported back to the 70s!

He was not thrilled, but seeing the excitement in the woman before him, he didn't want to let her down, so he went along with it.

They took their seats on the bench, the shop owner then motioned for them to get closer, "Move in a bit!"

They awkwardly shifted towards the center, but the shop owner was still not satisfied.

"You're still too far apart! Can you smile a bit? It's your birthday, where's the festive mood?"

Marguerite sat up straight, not moving an inch.

This was as close as she was willing to get. Every time she moved closer to him, her heart rate sped up, and she found herself resisting.
