Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 841

A sudden burst of light caused Hayes to squint, needing a moment to adjust. He half-closed his eyes, pointing to his smartwatch with a hint of pride.

"My watch has an anti-spy system, you know. It automatically detects cameras when connected to the internet. Mom, where you live is totally safe. But why is Uncle Maurice still trying to date you?"

Marguerite sighed, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "He's not trying to date me, honey. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Hayes was persistent. “He totally is! I overheard Grandma and Nana talking about how he moved his whole company to Cresthaven just a few days ago. If that's not trying to date you, then what is?"

"I don't like him. I'd rather you be with Uncle Silas than with him."

Marguerite was surprised by Hayes' candidness and pulled him into a hug,
