Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 890

Marguerite was genuinely surprised that Maurice had figured out it was Daphne in a heartbeat.

But then again, it made sense. Daphne had come to visit him earlier that day- she must have mentioned Marguerite.

Wasn't Daphne the one who'd scolded her for leaving Maurice at the hospital alone?

She'd probably shared those same complaints with Maurice, too.

So it didn't take a genius to realize that the person who'd come looking to make trouble for Marguerite was, of course, Daphne.

Maurice immediately reached for his phone. "I'm calling her."

Marguerite quickly snatched the phone from his hand. "You're still sick-can't you just rest for once?"

Maurice looked up at her, his eyes searching. "Are you worried about me?"

Marguerite stiffened, frustration bubbling up inside her.

Maurice always had a knack for twisting her words. These days, she had to run everything through her mind twice before saying it out loud, worried he'd misinterpret her.
