Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 370

Like mother, like son, Manley's behavior was a direct reflection of Yuna! With this thought, Frederick's determination to chase Yuna out of the villa was further cemented.

"In a couple of days, it’s going to be my birthday. If mom isn't here, I won't be happy!"

Birthday. That hit a nerve in Jocelyn.

She softened a bit, took a deep breath and approached Frederick. She gently rubbed his clenched fist. Frederick's anger receded slightly.

"This farce should end. Let's deal with everything after the kid's birthday. If you make a change during this period, we can let this slide."

She was addressing Yuna. Yuna had never paid heed to anyone other than Frederick, including Jocelyn. She always considered herself the future lady of the Winston household. Why should she listen to an old woman like Jocelyn?

However, Jocelyn's words gave Yuna a glimmer of hope, and she nodded eagerly, "Yes, I will surely change my ways!"

"Mom! Did you consider my feelings while making this decision?" Frederick managed to ask, suppressing the anger boiling inside him.

Jocelyn whispered to Frederick, "I know you're angry, but you also have to consider the kids’ feelings. How do you expect them to celebrate their birthday without their mother? It would be chaotic and not good for the child."

"What about Hayes' feelings?" Frederick asked guiltily.

"Don’t forget, Manley is also your child. This incident is bound to bring about a change in Yuna. And if you chase her away, who will provide the motherly love to the two children?"

Unexpectedly, Frederick thought of Marguerite. He admitted he despised Marguerite, but there was no denying her qualities as a mother! He even thought that Marguerite would be a better stepmother to Hayes and Manley than Yuna! But, it was just a thought.

After pondering for a while, Frederick chose to compromise.
