Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 52

Common sense quickly won over impulse, and Marguerite just didn't have the balls to kiss him.

She turned her face away, her cheeks blushing like crazy, fanning herself to cool down. She was clearly a nervous wreck.

Why the hell did she want to kiss him?

Had she fallen for him?

This idea blew Marguerite's mind, and she immediately denied the possibility.

How on earth could she fall for a guy like that, who had zero taste?

Even if she did mess up and fall for him, even if she had the chance to date Frederick openly, she might not really get with him.

Marguerite knew herself too well. Her experiences growing up made her desperate for love.

So, once she had feelings, if a guy was even slightly nice to her, she'd throw herself into his heart and soul.

But reality didn't let her dream too big. She had no room for trial and error when it came to relationships.

She had to get stronger ASAP and she couldn't afford to lose herself in love.

Marguerite was lost in thought looking at Frederick until her phone suddenly rang, scaring the hell out of her.

She straightened up subconsciously, took a couple of steps back, and saw Frederick open his sleepy eyes. She awkwardly pointed to his phone, trying to divert his attention.

"Your phone's ringing. Let me check it out."

Frederick casually picked up his phone, saw that it was "Yuna", frowned, and hung up straight away.

Marguerite was surprised and asked tentatively, "Aren't you going to answer her call?"

But Frederick ignored her question and asked her, "What time is it?"

Marguerite checked her phone: "It's 6:03."

"Time to go home. Come with me."

He said it so casually that it felt so natural.

She got delusional.

The way he said "Time to go home" felt like they were a couple who'd been living together for ages.

"Aren't you coming?" Frederick picked up his car keys and said, "Or do you want to take a cab home?"
