Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 207

Frederick left the upscale neighborhood of Diamond Crest Estates and headed directly back to his office. He personally drafted a document and handed it coldly to his assistant, Chuck. "Have Marguerite sign it."

Chuck was puzzled. As he glanced at the thick stack of A4-sized pages, the title on the front page caught his attention:

Divorce Agreement.

Chuck was confused. "Mr. Winston, there's still a month left until your divorce with Marguerite is finalized. Why are you preparing this agreement so early? You're acting as if the council won't process it."

Frederick walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, lighting a cigar in his agitation, "It doesn't matter. Let's get the property division sorted out early. If she's not satisfied, she'll have enough time to consider."

Chuck held the agreement, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Everyone knew about the hidden affection Mr. Winston held for Marguerite. Even when Marguerite was pregnant with another man's child, Mr. Winston still considered her feelings.

Just a quick scan revealed several astronomical figures on the agreement, enough for Marguerite to live a life of luxury for generations.

Chuck could see that Mr. Winston didn't want Marguerite to be helpless after their divorce. And property was the best way to provide a woman with a sense of security.

If he was so reluctant to let go of Marguerite, wouldn't it be better not to divorce her?

Chuck swallowed and gathered his courage to ask, "Mr. Winston, is it impossible that you guys don't get a divorce?"

"No, it's impossible."

"Mr. Winston, may I be so bold as to ask why?"

Frederick exhaled a ring of smoke from his sexy lips. His answer was straightforward and irrefutable, "Yuna is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Chuck was dumbfounded and rendered speechless.

He knew better than anyone that Mr. Winston held no feelings for Yuna other than responsibility. Yet, she was carrying his child!
