Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 631

Marguerite pursed her lips, her eyes dulling at the mere thought of Maurice.

"He's playing a game with me. I bet he wants me to willingly walk down the aisle with him."

Miley was fuming, her words tangled in her anger:

Miley, ever curious, pressed on, "A compelling reason? Like what?"
