Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 746

Meanwhile, back at the banquet hall...

After splitting from Frederick, Sandra had escorted Marguerite back inside.

She introduced Marguerite to several women guests. As the birthday girl, Marguerite was the center of attention, receiving toast after toast.

With Sandra leading the charge with her toasts, Marguerite found herself sipping more than she intended, and inevitably, she got tipsy.

When Frederick came down from the rooftop looking for Marguerite, he found Sandra supporting her as they walked out of the restroom.

Without hesitation, Frederick pulled Marguerite into his embrace, and she rested her head softly on his shoulder.

Frowning, he asked, "How did she end up drunk again?"

Sandra just shrugged, chuckling, "I didn't expect your girlfriend to be such a lightweight. A couple of drinks and she's out."

"I'll take her home."

"Alright."

In her dazed state, Marguerite felt herself enveloped in a warm embrace.

Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him carry her away from the bustling hall.

Throughout, she was cradled close to him, a feeling that filled her with immense happiness.

She had waited three years for Frederick to return.

As the alcohol began to wear off, the image of her beloved became clearer.

Marguerite had always been modest in her desires. She knew that being from a humble background, she couldn't afford to be choosy.

All she ever wanted was a happy family.

Now, she had her mother, Frederick had returned to her side, and with Teresa and Hayes, their understanding and adorable kids, she couldn't ask for more happiness.

Soon, they arrived at their suburban home, and Frederick carried Marguerite to their bedroom, gently laying her on the bed.

Pretending to be more intoxicated than she was, Marguerite playfully reached into his shirt, feeling his firm chest.

Frederick tensed, looking down at her with a mix of amusement and desire.
