Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 52

Common sense quickly won over impulse, and Marguerite just didn’t have the balls to kiss him.

She turned her face away, her cheeks blushing like crazy, fanning herself to cool down. She was clearly a nervous wreck.

Why the hell did she want to kiss him?

Had she fallen for him?

This idea blew Marguerite’s mind, and she immediately denied the possibility.

How on earth could she fall for a guy like that, who had zero taste?

Even if she did mess up and fall for him, even if she had the chance to date Frederick openly, she might not really get with him.

Marguerite knew herself too well. Her experiences growing up made her desperate for love.

So, once she had feelings, if a guy was even slightly nice to her, she’d throw herself into his heart and soul.

She had to get stronger ASAP and she couldn’t afford to lose herself in love.
