Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 429

Marguerite had been sulking all night long.

When she woke up the next morning, she had two huge dark circles under her eyes and couldn't stop yawning, which only added to her gloom.

After leisurely getting ready, Teresa knocked on Marguerite's door, standing in the doorway complaining in a mournful tone, "Mommy, I'm starving. Why hasn't anyone made breakfast?"

No one made breakfast? Marguerite was taken aback.

Then she remembered last night at the dinner table, Yuna couldn't wait to show off, and promised that she would prepare breakfast for everyone this morning.

Marguerite knew that Yuna wanted to impress Powell and create an image of a good and dutiful wife. But all talk and no action, it was already late and breakfast wasn’t ready. She suspected Yuna’s image wouldn’t last long before people started to dislike her.

Marguerite took Teresa's hand and walked downstairs, "Are grandma and grandpa up yet?"

Teresa shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't see them downstairs."

"Just wait a little longer. No one will let you starve." Marguerite smiled.

Yuna was always very opportunistic, it’s possible that she was waiting to cook in front of Powell and Lisette to show off.

Teresa, however, tilted her small face, puckered her lips and asked Marguerite, "Mommy, the late-night snack last night was really tasty, right?"

The image of Frederick cooking and the pot of tempting, fragrant noodles came to Marguerite's mind. She had to admit, the taste was excellent.

She remembered Jocelyn once mentioned that because they had lived in the countryside, Frederick had learned to cook from a young age and his culinary skills were very good.

She had the chance to taste it last night, and he indeed lived up to his reputation.
