Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 298

At a distance less than twenty meters from Frederick, an unexpected figure suddenly blocked Marguerite's path.

Marguerite was running so fast that she couldn't stop in time, colliding hard into a man's chest.

A familiar scent wafted over her, but with no time to identify the source, Marguerite instinctively pushed the man away and continued to run.

However, her wrist was swiftly caught by the man and she was yanked back. Only then did she realize that the man blocking her way was none other than Maurice!

“Let go of me!” Marguerite anxiously looked towards the security checkpoint. The facial recognition machine seemed to be having some problems and was unable to successfully identify Frederick. This only increased her anxiety.

However, Maurice looked at her with annoyance. “Marguerite, what are you trying to do?”

Marguerite, frantic, kept her gaze fixed on Frederick not far away. “I want to see him one last time.”

"Just to see him?"

Marguerite nodded, "Yes." But as soon as she finished speaking, her backpack was harshly pulled off from her shoulder. Maurice, with his long and slender fingers, gripped the corner of the bag and pulled it upside down. Items poured out like a waterfall.

Airline tickets, driver's license, passport, laptop...

Maurice looked at each item, his eyes becoming increasingly cold. “Do you need airline tickets and a passport just to see him? Marguerite, you've already made up your mind, why lie to me?”

Indeed, Marguerite had always seen herself as a greedy person. Once she got something, she wanted more. The moment she decided to see Frederick, she had already planned to leave with him.

She just didn't want to admit it. But now, she had no choice but to confront her feelings.

She opened her eyes and stared coldly at Maurice. “Since you already know my decision, you'll let me go with him, right?”
