Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 486

Frederick’s upper body was almost entirely pressed against Marguerite’s body.

He looked down at her, his breath hot and fierce, blowing directly onto Marguerite’s face.

Marguerite’s heart fluttered, and for a moment, she had the wild desire to kiss him.

Frederick’s face was expressionless, “Even the score? That should be done face-to-face. What’s the point if it’s done in secret?”

“Then let rne call Maurice in.” As Marguerite spoke, she pushed Frederick away with effort, ducked under his arm, and reached for the door.

The sudden closeness made Marguerite’s head spin.
