Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 625

Hayes was just about to ask Teresa about something, but as he turned to face

her, he was met with her heavy eyelids fighting a losing battle with sleep. A wave of genuine concern washed over him, making him forget his own confusion.

"Hey, you..." he gently patted Teresa's shoulder, his young face wrinkling in worry, "when did you last get some sleep?"
