Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 891

Marguerite didn't bother to answer, letting Miley rant as much as she pleased.

Sure enough, Miley launched into another tirade:

"Laura is Cresthaven's top caregiver, you know! When we looked her up, we even did a full background check-everyone she's cared for had nothing but glowing reviews! Do you know how much a week of her services cost me? Six figures! Can you believe that? Maurice is ruthless-I mean, pulling a stunt like this just to get a chance to see you? It's infuriating!"

She finished, grabbed Marguerite's glass of milk, and downed it in one gulp. Then she seemed to notice something. "Wait, why are you packing your clothes? Don't tell me you're actually planning to go over there and take care of him! Have you lost your mind?"

Miley lunged for Marguerite's leather tote, but Marguerite finally looked up at her and said calmly, "Didn't Hayes tell you? I'm taking him to that field trip tomorrow. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I called Janie-she's going over to help out."

Miley blinked, suddenly let go of the bag, and didn't seem the least bit embarrassed. "Well, at least you're thinking straight. If you even think about going to him, I swear I'll break your legs myself!"

Marguerite couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head at Miley's dramatics. She leaned in and whispered, "Miley, you really shouldn't get so worked up while you're pregnant. Aren't you worried the little one can hear you? What if the baby takes after your temper?"

and hurried to sit down on the bed, cooing, "Sweetheart, Mommy was just joking with Aunt Marguerite, okay? Don't
