Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 650

Teresa's face was a picture of panic as she quickly turned to Hayes, who was awkwardly trying to conceal a piece of paper under him. It was the DNA test results that could confirm the parental link between her and her dad!

How did her mom notice their little scheme so quickly?

Desperately, Teresa tried to signal Hayes to come up with some story to distract her mom.

But Hayes, usually so calm and collected, was now squirming uncomfortably with his legs tightly pressed together, and even wiggled his little behind.

What on earth?

Why was Hayes so nervous all of a sudden? Was he really that spooked by Mom?

Marguerite, by now, had sauntered over to Hayes and crouched down, extending her arm and opening her hand, motioning for Hayes to hand over whatever he was hiding.

"Honey, just show Auntie what you've got there," she cooed.

Hayes, his face as red as a tomato, stubbornly shook his head: "No... I can't..."

Teresa was baffled.

What was wrong with Hayes? Why was his voice trembling so much?

"Why can't you, sweetie? Did Auntie guess right? Are you hiding something naughty?"

Hayes pouted, "Auntie Marguerite... we're not doing anything bad... really..."
