Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 37

The guy took his eyes off her. He kept dialing Marguerite's number, but no one answered.

Yuna glanced at his phone and saw Marguerite's name flashing on the screen. She was pissed off. Why was he still thinking about Marguerite when he's with her?

That woman was so annoying! Once she was gone, Frederick wouldn't think about her anymore!

With a roll of her eyes, Yuna flagged down a waiter, hoping to divert Frederick's attention.

"Check, please."

The waiter nodded politely, placed the bill next to Frederick, and gently asked, "Sir, your total is 480 dollars. Would you like to pay in cash or by card?"

Snapping back to reality, Frederick responded succinctly, "Card."

After quickly settling the bill, Yuna grabbed her purse. She leaned on Frederick's shoulder, and said, "Frederick, let's go to Grandeur Square Mall. It's our first date, and I'm so excited."

Frederick, however, was still trying to reach Marguerite. He shook his head and pushed Yuna away, keeping a distance.

"Sorry, I've got something to do this afternoon. I may not be able to accompany you today."

Then Yuna's face turned pale.

He had promised that he would spend the whole afternoon with her, and now he suddenly claimed to be occupied. Was he going to see Marguerite?

Yuna lowered her eyelids, feigning a hurt look. "Frederick, you promised to keep me company. Are you really going to leave me alone for Marguerite?"

Frederick turned to look at her, and Yuna's tears immediately fell.

"I heard you when you were on the phone. Frederick, I know Marguerite is your wife in name, but I am your girlfriend. Am I not as important as Marguerite in your heart?"

Her eyes filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Frederick frowned. He hated it when women cried at the drop of a hat.

But he realized that he had indeed neglected the woman in front of him.

Was Marguerite really more important to him than Yuna?

No! Absolutely not!

He needed Marguerite's formula to apply for a patent for the company, and he was only interested in the benefits Marguerite could bring to the company.

Frederick hugged Yuna, gently patting her back to comfort her.

"Who could be more important than you? If it weren't for the company's need, I wouldn’t care about her."

Yuna was thrilled. "Really, Frederick? Even if Marguerite dies, does it matter to you?"

Frederick nodded, "No."

Suddenly, he smelled a faint scent from Yuna's neck.
