Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 332

Suddenly, the whole living room was dipped into an awkward silence.

Teresa glanced at Frederick, then at Marguerite, and quickly broke the silence, "Mommy, is daddy not home yet?"

Marguerite's gaze remained on the man. She stood still, replying mechanically, "Your daddy's working late."

Frederick abruptly let go of Teresa's small hand, his eyes full of hostility towards Marguerite.

"How... how did you end up with Teresa?" Marguerite was puzzled, her disbelief evident.

Taking the opportunity, Teresa observed the expressions of the two, then deliberately explained, "Mommy, this is Hayes' dad. Oh yeah, Hayes is my classmate and my good friend. I went over to his house to play."

Marguerite was suddenly taken aback.

Hayes? The less-favored child in the Winston family! He was in the same class as Teresa?

Marguerite's expression turned increasingly unpleasant. She couldn't understand why things always coincided so perfectly!

Frederick's gaze darkened, his tone cold as ice, "Explain."

Marguerite was taken aback, meeting his intimidating gaze, "Explain what?"

"Did you send your daughter to get close to my son?"

Marguerite felt a rush of panic. She feared that her past grudge with Frederick would affect their children.

She quickly looked at Teresa, forcing calm into her voice as she said, "Honey, go upstairs first. I need to have a word with Hayes' dad."

Teresa's eyes sparkled with excitement at the tone of their conversation. They clearly knew each other!
