Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 520

Marguerite turned to face Frederick, the pristine moonlight casting over his head, wrapping him in a halo of golden grace. She was baffled, utterly at a loss as to why he would suddenly bring up something from three years ago-the matter of the sapphire necklace.

Her mind stuttered through her memories; it seemed that when the necklace went missing, he hadn’t seemed to care much about it.

She recalled rushing into Frederick’s room, eager to describe the design of the necklace, hoping he’d keep an eye out for it. But he had cut her off, showing no interest. So, why was he now so certain that the lost necklace was the sapphire one?

Marguerite couldn’t find the logic in it and could only nod, her eyes slightly widened as she answered, “Yes, it’s lost. What about it?”

Frederick’s face was taut with intensity as he closed the gap between them, his tall frame casting an imposing presence that rushed over her in waves of urgency.

“The necklace-did you lose it before you met me, or after?”

His proximity sent Marguerite’s heart into a frantic gallop, almost leaping from her throat.
