Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 351

Manley was scared to tears. Unable to get his way, he threw a tantrum, thrashing about in his car seat, his flailing legs nearly hitting Teresa in the face.

Hayes, quick as a whip, scooped Teresa into his arms for protection.

Rage burned in Frederick's chest, a flame that refused to be extinguished.

He hauled Manley onto his lap, his crimson eyes filled with fury. "Manley Winston!"

His reprimand silenced the car, every pair of eyes wide with fear.

Teresa and Hayes clung to each other, everyone's gaze darting between Frederick and Manley, no one dared to make a sound.

Damn it! Yuna had spoiled this child rotten!

Frederick locked eyes with Manley, who was sniffling on his lap.

His stubborn demeanor persisting, not swayed by reprimands or physical admonishments. Frederick took a moment to compose himself before speaking to Manley, his tone serious: "You shouldn’t fight, and you need to learn to be humble and share. You can't be so selfish, understand?"

Manley's shoulders shook as he sobbed, "Daddy, are you angry?"

"Yes."

Manley wilted. He remembered his mother's warnings, never to make his father angry. Otherwise, he would not inherit the family fortune; it would go to Hayes instead.

Manley quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I won't do it again."

"Apologize to Teresa." Frederick said.

Reluctantly, Manley turned to Teresa and apologized. But no one saw the hatred in his eyes, an intensity that belied his age, directed squarely at Hayes.

Ten minutes later, the car pulled up to their mansion.

Teresa and Hayes got out, they happily ran towards Hayes’ bedroom.
