Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 771

Little Lucy blinked her big, innocent eyes, looked earnestly at Marguerite, then pointed at Hayes, bursting into laughter:

"It's because, I just can't bring myself to bite Hayes! So, I guess I had to bite Manley!"

Marguerite: "......"

Silence fell once again.

What kind of explanation was that?

Why did it feel like this little munchkin was off her rocker?

Marguerite was still trying to piece together the events leading up to this moment when Manley, perhaps feeling wronged or maybe because his dignity was hurt from the bite, started crying out loud unexpectedly. He sobbed and shouted, his face a mess of tears, looking utterly pitiful.

"Ms. Marguerite, she's a little loony! I need a rabies shot! Take me to get a rabies shot, please! Waaah~"

Marguerite immediately corrected him sternly, "Manley! You need to be nice to younger kids, you can't talk like that!"

Manley, puffed up like a little balloon in anger, was heartbroken but didn't want to upset Marguerite. So, he muttered under his breath, feeling aggrieved, "I was being nice... It's her who wasn't... I didn't do anything to her, she just suddenly..."

While the little guy was still mumbling to himself, the office door was gently pushed open from the outside.

As if drawn by an invisible force, Marguerite's gaze involuntarily followed.

She saw a man with a tall figure, wearing a loose sky-blue shirt paired with snug jeans.

His face partially concealed by a sleek black mask, Marguerite could only see his broad forehead and a pair of bright eyes.

Suddenly, Marguerite felt a pang in her chest, as if a heavy hammer had struck her heart hard, causing her both pain and suffocation.

Why was she experiencing such indescribable emotions?
