Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 719

Jake and Emma exchanged puzzled glances before Jake asked, "What are they doing at the cemetery?"

Emma fiddled with her fingers, deep in thought. "That place is where my great- grandma is buried. She's been there since before I was born. Mom takes me to visit her grave every holiday."

"So... they went to pay their respects at the grave?" Jake surmised.

Emma's brow furrowed, her delicate eyebrows knitting into a "V”.

"It's not even the time for that. Besides, if they were going to the cemetery, why wouldn't they take me with them?"

Jake closed his laptop and hopped off the bench. "No matter the reason... let's head out and see for ourselves."

"Okay!"

Hand in hand, the duo headed towards the front door, only to be blocked by Brandon, who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

His chubby figure stood with hands on hips, looking menacing, though his eyes betrayed a hint of fear.

"Where are you two off to?"

Emma shot back, "You're not even talking to us anymore, why do you care where we're going!"
