Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 635

Yuna certainly didn't dare to confront Frederick directly.

If he were willing to marry her, would she really need to go to such lengths, enlisting Hackett's support to bolster her position?

She hemmed and hawed, saying nothing, but at the same time, she seethed with anger at Penelope for publicly embarrassing her.

Penelope had raised her voice in her rage, and now her throat was on fire, her whole body parched with thirst.

Miley quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Penelope.

With trembling hands, Penelope took a few sips and then, placing a hand over her heart, forced herself to calm down.

She let out a heavy sigh, her voice filled with earnest concern, "Yuna, you can't force love. Why push for something that's clearly not meant to be?"

Yuna clenched her jaw, her eyes wild as they swept across the room, "If Freddie doesn't want to marry me, then who does he want? After all, I've given him twins. And Marguerite? What has she left him with? Mother, why don't you ask Freddie if he loves Marguerite?"
