Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 196

After dinner, Marguerite lost sight of Frederick. She assumed that he had returned to Seaside Manor and decided not to dwell on it any longer.

He had already taken Yuna into his property and even purchased a wedding ring for her.

His actions screamed of a man in love, so why wouldn't he be eager to see her again?

What surprised Marguerite, however, was that she encountered Frederick again the following morning in the diner.

He was still dressed in a black robe, looking as though he had just rolled out of bed. His sleepy eyes made him appear a bit lazy, yet he remained as attractive as ever.

Noticing her gaze, Frederick pulled out a chair and sat down, his expression blank. "What are you looking at?" he asked.

Marguerite averted her eyes, mumbling, "Nothing. Didn't you leave yesterday?"

"This is my home. Where else would I go?"

His words left Marguerite speechless.

True enough. Whether it was Sapphire Valley Estates or Seaside Manor, they were all Frederick's properties. Where he decided to stay was his business, not hers.

Laverne, sitting nearby, glanced at Frederick then Marguerite. A grin spread across her wrinkled face.

That's more like it! This was how a couple should behave!

Suddenly, Frederick's phone rang. He answered it without any hesitation, causing Marguerite to assume it was Yuna, urging him to return to Seaside Manor. She, therefore, turned her gaze away and remained silent.

However, Frederick did not utter any sweet or sensitive words, merely responding with a few affirmatives before hanging up. He then turned to Marguerite, "My mother wants to meet you. I'll send you the address later. Don't be late."

Marguerite blinked, stunned.

So, the call was from Jocelyn? Jocelyn wanted to meet her? What was going on?
