Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 197

Laverne stood as still as a statue, not moving an inch.

Oh, has she forgotten she's supposed to be sick?

Laverne chuckled, "I only realized this morning that my leg was fine. But that's not the point. You have to make a good impression on the young man's mother! Here, wear this!"

The old woman pulled out a white dress, a U-neck, knee-length that exuded a sense of grace and elegance.

"Trust me, elders love this kind of outfit. Since you can't wear makeup, you can only rely on your clothes."

Laverne had checked earlier, most human skin masks were made of silicone, makeup wouldn't stick!

Marguerite was even more confused, "Grandma, how did you know I can't wear makeup?"

She always felt that the old lady was strange today. Her numb legs recovered unexpectedly, and she even knew that her face couldn't hold makeup?

What's going on? Could it be that she's overthinking again?

Laverne swallowed, feeling guilty as hell.

Damn it, she was always careful, but she made mistakes today!

Luckily, she was quick-witted, changing the subject and explaining, "Why would you wear makeup while you're pregnant? It's not good for the baby! Now don't delay, hurry up and change your clothes, or you'll be late!"

Before Marguerite could react, she was pushed towards the bathroom by Laverne.

Turns out, this dress really flattered Marguerite's figure, giving her an air of a well-bred lady.

She and Jocelyn had agreed to meet at Mystic Table in the city center. Not long after Marguerite arrived, Jocelyn showed up.

She was still wearing the same dress from last night, only with a light purple gem bracelet on her wrist. Clearly, she had just rushed over from the hospital.

Upon seeing this, Marguerite promptly stood up to greet her, "Hello, ma'am."

Jocelyn glanced at Marguerite's still flat belly, gently raised her hand to signal, "No need to be formal, please sit."

Marguerite felt uncomfortable under Jocelyn's gaze. After sitting down in a fluster, she saw Jocelyn clean the utensils.
