Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 773

Margot?

In a world brimming with 7 billion souls, bumping into someone who shares a similar name with you isn't out of the ordinary.

But why does the mere mention of that name send a pang through Marguerite's heart? It was baffling, to say the least. There was something about Silas and his daughter that stirred something deep within her, making her insatiably curious about both Margot and Silas.

Trying to shake off the odd feeling, she continued her inquiry, "So, if everyone seems to have a problem with Margot, what about you?"

Without missing a beat, Hayes firmly shook his head, "I don't dislike her."

"Why's that?" Marguerite prodded for a reason, but Hayes seemed taken aback by his own certainty.

He wasn't fond of kids who were slow on the uptake, and Margot was all over the place – by all accounts, he should've found her annoying.

So why did he answer so confidently? Hayes pondered hard but couldn't come up with a reason, his brows knitting together in a frown, "Mom, I... I don't know why. I just... don't dislike her."

"Even after she bit your brother's butt, you don't dislike her?" Marguerite couldn't help but ask, meeting Hayes's earnest gaze with a mix of curiosity and amusement.

Hayes's lips pursed, and he swallowed hard, "Well... it's not entirely her fault..."

Marguerite raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Do tell."

"It's because... I kept staring at her today, and I guess it got to her... She originally wanted to bite me, but couldn't bring herself to do it, so... she bit Manley instead."

As Hayes explained, he sneakily glanced at Marguerite's expression, worried she might be upset.
