Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 349

The ringtone was Teresa's favorite lullaby, but at this moment, it sounded more terrifying than any horror movie score.

"What do I do now? I told her I was going to Taekwondo class! She definitely wants me to hand the phone to the coach! Who can pretend to be the coach for me?"

Teresa was on the verge of tears, holding her phone as if it was a hot potato.

She turned to look at Hayes.

No way, he was a little mute, he wouldn't be able to pretend.

Teresa's eyes then met with Chuck's, who flinched as if burnt by her gaze, "No can do! Marguerite would recognize my voice right away!"

Chuck then turned his attention to Frederick, "Mr. Winston! Mr. Winston, maybe you should take the call!" Mr. Winston was always cunning, a true wolf in sheep's clothing! He could lie without batting an eye, he was the perfect candidate!

Without hesitation, Frederick took the phone from Teresa, ready to answer the call, but the little one snatched it right back, "Daddy, no! Mommy knows your voice! You can't fool her!"

Daddy? This sudden address made Frederick's heart skip a beat, stirring something deep within him. A strange sense of... happiness?

His gaze was fixed on the little girl, who was still busy with the phone call. She leaned forward in her seat, handing the phone to the driver.

"Sir, can you take the call? Mommy definitely won't recognize your voice!"

The driver didn't immediately take the phone, instead, he looked at Frederick through the rear-view mirror, seemingly waiting for his command.

Frederick glanced at Teresa's phone and told the driver, "Answer it."

Upon hearing this, the driver respectfully took the phone, cleared his throat, and adopted a deep voice, "Hello, this is Teresa's Taekwondo instructor. Yes... okay... understood..."

The matter was smoothly handled, and the driver ended the call. Teresa let out a sigh of relief. She slumped back into her seat, patting her chest, "Thank God, that was a close one!”

But just as one wave settled, another rose. Frederick wasn't about to let the little one off the hook.
