Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 69

Marguerite was so caught up in this intense confusion that she even forgot to resist until the next second when the sting on her lips brought her back to reality.

This guy just bit her!

Marguerite pushed Frederick away.

His sudden kiss left her feeling embarrassed and flustered. She raised her arm to slap him, but he quickly grabbed her wrist.

Frederick's lips, now unusually rosy from the kiss, shimmered under the light.

Unable to meet his gaze, Marguerite turned her face away, her tone a bit pissed, "If you want to talk, just talk. Why did you have to kiss me?"

Frederick's eyes were deep, a glint flashing in his pupils.

Facing the woman before him, he seemed to lose control again.

"Somebody's been running their mouth lately, spewing nonsense, and it's been getting on my nerves. I had to teach her a lesson. Hopefully, she'll remember it."

Marguerite jerked her arm out of his grasp, her cheeks flushed, "What nonsense? I only stated the facts. You were in the wrong."

Just as Marguerite was speaking, Frederick suddenly pulled out a small jewelry box as if by magic.

Inside was a simple necklace.

The silver chain was understated, with a white pearl pendant that was crystal clear.

It was a design that would suit any girl.

Marguerite blinked, clueless about Frederick's intentions.

Unexpectedly, the man took out the necklace and put it around her neck, his arms wrapping around her shoulders.

Marguerite looked at his handsome face so close that her breath hitched.

"Don't think that just because you gave me a necklace, I'll forgive you," Marguerite grumbled haughtily.

"You said you lost a necklace here. I don't want to owe you anything, so I got you another one."

The man had put the necklace on her, and his fingers lightly touched the pearl.

His fingertips brushed against Marguerite's skin, sending a tingling sensation through her body.

"I don't know how expensive the necklace you lost was, but since I'm giving you one, it's definitely more expensive."
