Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 81

"You're a detective now? I thought you studied finance?"

Just then, the waiter served the food. Miley grabbed the steak, and started chowing down, not caring about her manners at all.

"That was just to keep my dad off my back. I like to get the dirt on people, especially the powerful families, you know. I've been doing it for years."

Miley took a bite of her steak and gulped down her drink. "So do you want me to dig some dirt up for you? I'm dying to know what's going on with Yuna's family."

Marguerite absentmindedly stirred the pasta in front of her and after a moment of thought, she shook her head and said, "Never mind, it's not necessary."

Once she got divorced, her grandmother should start getting better.

And then she would leave Stonebridge City with her grandmother and start a new life somewhere else.

Everything that happened in Stonebridge City, whether it was with Yuna or Frederick, would have nothing to do with her.

Miley was about to say something more when she spotted a very handsome man standing behind Marguerite. "Marguerite?" he asked softly.

Marguerite turned around and saw a man with silver glasses, bending slightly and smiling at her.

She recognized him instantly. It was her grandmother's doctor, Steven.

"Steven, what are you doing here?"

Steven had taken off his work clothes and was wearing a black silk shirt, the top few buttons undone, revealing his collarbone.

He sat down next to Marguerite and smiled. "Just finished work and thought I'd grab a bite. Would you mind if I join?"

"Not at all, eat whatever you want, it's on me." Miley quickly answered for Marguerite.

Seeing her friend's familiar love-struck face, Marguerite couldn't help but smile.

Besides being a gossip, Miley had a thing for handsome guys. For Miley, looks were everything.

She was also great at socializing. Without any introductions from Marguerite, she had already exchanged business cards with Steven.

Then Miley started sharing her overseas experiences with them. When she finally ran out of steam, Steven turned to Marguerite, saying, "By the way, your grandma might wake up in the next few days. Are you ready?"

Marguerite was thrilled. "Her condition is stable?"

Steven nodded slightly. "Almost."

Marguerite was over the moon, her smile as bright as a sunflower.

Seeing how excited Marguerite was, Steven had to remind her, "Don't let your guard down, you still need to keep a close eye on your grandma's condition."

Marguerite snapped back to reality. Her grandmother was about to wake up, and yet Steven, as the attending doctor, had no hint of excitement on his face. This was somewhat unusual.

"Steven, is there something you're not telling me?"
