Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 755

Maurice was well aware of what Frederick was hinting at.

His Achilles' heel was Marguerite, as well as Teresa.

But with Marguerite out of the picture for the moment, that left only Teresa.

However, Maurice didn't respond right away. Instead, he looked over at the little one and deliberately asked, "Teresa, you've been passing dishes to Mr. Frederick all evening. Do you have a soft spot for him?"

"Of course!"

The little one's honesty shone through, her head bobbing eagerly, without a hint of hesitation.

But catching the wounded look on Maurice's face, she switched tactics, adopting a cutesy voice to charm him. "But I love Daddy lots too."

"And would you like to go home with Mr. Frederick tonight?"

Her eyes lit up at the question. "You mean, I can have a sleepover at Mr. Frederick's place?"

"That's right."

Teresa quickly abandoned her half-peeled shrimp, her excitement making her practically dance in her seat. "Yes, yes! I'd love to!"

"So quick to decide? Aren't you worried about making Daddy sad?"

Teresa paused, her enthusiasm dampening under Maurice's icy gaze. What's happening? Why does Daddy Maurice look so scary?

She swallowed nervously, struggling to find the right words. "No... I just... I miss Mommy! She's with Mr. Frederick, and I want to see her! And I'll come back to keep you company in a few days~"
