Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 829

Marguerite looked at him with an expression that could only be described as "disappointed in a player." "What is your deal, Robert? Miley's pregnant, and you're still messing around with Stella?"

"I swear, I'm not! She just showed up on her own."

"If you didn't give her any reason to hope, why would she keep hanging around knowing you're married? Can you just be a bit more decisive?"

Robert let out a long sigh. "It's complicated. I'll explain later. For now, just keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn't call me."

He gave Marguerite's shoulder a reassuring pat, like he was passing on some great responsibility, then walked out the door.

Marguerite stood there, alone in the room, feeling a mix of exasperation and amusement.

She had thought that Miley and Robert's relationship was smooth sailing, but then Stella came out of nowhere.

However, it seemed Miley wasn't bothered, and Robert didn't have as many loose ends as it appeared.

Marguerite hoped it was just Stella's unrequited fantasy. With that thought, she decided to call Stella.

Stella seemed surprised to hear from her, and when Marguerite got straight to the point, Stella's response was unexpectedly eager.

"Sis-in-law, how did you know I was in Cresthaven? Did Robert mention me? What did he say?"

Marguerite rubbed her temples, "Don't get carried away. I'm trying to talk business here."

Stella was undeterred, "I can help your friend with therapy, but I have a condition!"

Marguerite had anticipated this; Stella wouldn't be Stella without some kind of negotiation.
