Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 599

Marguerite was too strong for her own good, strong to the point that it even made her own heart ache. But she swallowed her emotions, given that Penelope was Yuna’s mother, she couldn’t very well vent her frustrations to someone else’s mom.

Marguerite shook her head, mustering a strained smile, “Thanks, Penelope. I’m really grateful you let me work at Poppy Petal Fragrances. As for Yuna, I’ll just keep my distance. I don’t want to put you in an awkward spot.”

Penelope felt a lump in her throat, finding Marguerite’s maturity and understanding beyond her years both admirable and heartbreaking,

She had always admired Marguerite’s spirit, enduring so much yet still clinging to that pure, untainted spark inside her. It was her charm, as well as her Achilles’ heel.

It’s hard to tell how many people have exploited this, attacking and causing her harm.

Neither said anything more, but Penelope resolved then and there to treat Marguerite like her own daughter from now on.

As Penelope walked away, Marguerite bumped into Frederick.

Remembering how he had stood up for her earlier, her heart fluttered, and she called out to his retreating figure, “Hey! Thanks for that.”

He stiffened, turning around with a cool tone, “Don’t get it twisted. I didn’t do it for you. I just don’t want any trouble to come to Manley. That’s all.”
