Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 511

Frederick’s anger simmered with every passing thought, and despite this woman now having the backing of the illustrious Fitzgerald family, he was not about to let her off the hook so easily.

“Manley, why on earth didn’t you tell me about something so important?” Frederick’s voice rose, laced with a fury that made the_ room shrink.

Manley, visibly shaken, stuttered out an explanation, his body trembling, “I had just finished my checkup yesterday when I saw Hayes at the hospital. I told him to hit the road quick, didn’t want him giving any blood. Mom promised she wouldn’t take Hayes’ blood, so I didn’t tell you.

-Dad, please don’t be mad, you’re scaring me…”

He sighed softly, drawing Manley into his arms and asked with a calmer demeanor, “So now, can you tell Dad what else you overheard from Mom?”
