Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 454

No sooner had Frederick left the room than Hayes dashed to the terrace, pressing his small frame against the window ledge to peer outside with earnest longing in his eyes.

It was then that Marguerite noticed Frederick left from the back door of their sprawling suburban home and into a gleaming new Maybach. The car from last night, stained with the remnants of a violent encounter, had already been disposed of by Chuck in the dead of night.

The engine roared to life and the man was gone, prompting Hayes to point his tiny finger towards the slowly disappearing car before turning back to Marguerite with an urgent, stirring gaze. It was clear he was desperately trying to convey something.

“What’s the matter, Hayes?”

“You want to go with him?”

He eagerly nodded in agreement.
