Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 332

Suddenly, the whole living room was dipped into an awkward silence.

Teresa glanced at Frederick, then at Marguerite, and quickly broke the silence, “Mommy, is daddy not home yet?”

Frederick abruptly let go of Teresa’s small hand, his eyes full of hostility towards Marguerite.

“How… how did you end up with Teresa?” Marguerite was puzzled, her disbelief evident.

Taking the opportunity, Teresa observed the expressions of the two, then deliberately explained, “Mommy, this is Hayes‘ dad. Oh yeah, Hayes is my classmate and my good friend. I went over to his house to play.”

Marguerite was suddenly taken aback.
