Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 362

Frederick looked down at the two messages Teresa had sent, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.

Teresa was quick on the uptake, and even he had been roped in by her. Frederick was defeated by this little girl. He didn't mind eating his words so quickly and immediately surrendered.

[Got it. I'll handle it. But no more lies about anything else.]

Teresa, feeling her dad's assertiveness, playfully cooed: [I know, but one lie needs more lies to cover it up. I'm going to have to lie to mom about going to your house. Will you help me, Hayes’ daddy?]

What a clever little thing!

Frederick was practically at a loss. Yet, a sense of happiness inexplicably welled up in his heart.

If he had a daughter as cute as Teresa, it wouldn't be too bad. With that thought, his indulgence of Teresa's requests increased.

[Got it.]

[Awesome, you are the best, Hayes’ daddy!]

Frederick revealed a faint smile, quickly recalling the hesitation the little one displayed when she got out of the car.

He was worried and heartbroken then, but she said nothing. Was her unhappiness related to her hesitation? Frederick couldn't help but feel anxious.

[So, can you tell me why you're unhappy? Didn't you have fun at my place today?]

Teresa hesitated. Why was she unhappy? It was because of Hayes! He should ask Hayes! Hayes was the one who was the unhappiest! But she couldn't tell him yet, she needed a foolproof plan. A plan that could not only make Hayes’ daddy believe her, but also protect Hayes!

With no other choice, Teresa continued to lie: [It's because I didn't get to play enough, so I'm sad that I had to leave.]
