Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 97

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the evening sky was painted with a palette of red hues.

Marguerite just back to the mansion in time for dinner. Frederick was seated at the head of the table and Laverne was engrossed in her new phone.

Marguerite's gaze happened to meet his. Some unspeakable traits on his face made him so dignified.

Feeling uneasy about their spat the previous night, Marguerite was not in the mood for chit-chat.

She quietly headed for the dining room and sat next to Laverne, whispering, "Granny, it's dinner time. Phone can wait."

With that, she served Laverne some chicken soup.

Laverne was squinting at and wrestling with her phone screen.

Suddenly, she slammed her phone on the table, crossed her arms and looked visibly pissed off, seemingly at herself.

"Damn it!"

Marguerite was stunned. She jerked her head, "What’s up, Granny?"

"The font on the phone is too small. I can't see anything!"

Marguerite chuckled, "Hold your horses, Granny. I'll fix it for you."

She picked up the phone, opened the settings and patiently adjusted the font size for Laverne.

Frederick was feeling uneasy not having seen Marguerite all day.

Now he spotted the new phone in Marguerite's hand and attempted to kick start a conversation, "Did you get this for Granny?"

Before Marguerite could answer, Laverne grunted, "Hell no, it's not from Marguerite. It's a gift from that handsome doc at the hospital."

"Handsome doctor?" Frederick asked with a frown.

Marguerite finally looked at Frederick and explained flatly, "It’s Granny's doctor, Steven."
