Bride Behind The Mask Novel by Frederick
Chapter 247

Chapter 247

“Frederick!”

Marguerite cailed out to him, her voice trembling upon.rollably. Frederick turned around stiffly, not daring to meet her eyes.

Through his reaction, Marguerite understood that he probably did not want her to know about something.

“Is she pregnant?”

Frederick lowered his eyes, his heart a tangled mess. He nodded silently, nottering a word.

“Wh… when did this happen?”

“Not long ago.”

How long is not long ago? Was it before their marriage or after?

Marguerite knew the answer without pondering too much. Yuna must have found out about her pregnancy recently, otherwise, with her personality, she would have already blabbed about it all around town.

Marguerite felt a sudden pang in her heart. She was trying to console herself. After all, she was carrying another man’s child too. What right did the ave to demand fidelity from Frederick?

She understood it all too well, managing to force out an awkward smile. But her hands couldn’t stop trembling.

She rose and approached Frederick, her steps as light as if she was walking on cotion. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known, I wouldn’t have said those things to upset her.”

Frederick stood still, clenching his fists. He wanted to explain, but her reaction made him hesitate. If she didn’t care, then what was the point in saying anything?

“You take care of her. I need to go home,” Marguerite said, about to leave when he grabbed her arm. The driver will be here soon. I don’t feel comfortable letting you go home alone.”

She managed to smile and nod. “Alright, I’ll wait for him downstairs.”

Marguerite practically ran out of the room, through the hall, and out to the parking lot. She couldn’t keep still, using movement to distract herself from her thoughts.

The sky grew darker as if a storm was about to hit any second. Thankfully, just before the rain started, the driver arrived and took her home to Sapphire Valley Estates.

Back home, Laverne and Sadie were on the couch watching a TV show, eating sunflower seeds and discussing the plot. Seeing Marguerite, Sadie immediately stood up. “Have you had lunch, ma’am? I can heat up something for you.”

Marguerite waved her off. “I ate before I came. Don’t bother.”

She then turned to her grandmother and made a bit of small talk before heading to her room. Something about her seemed off, and her grandmother noticed the large bump on the back of her head.

“What happened to your head, dear?” she asked, immediately reaching out to touch it. Marguerite winced in pain, and her grandmother grew more worried.

“I just fell, Grandma. I’m fine,” Marguerite reassured her.

‘Fell? Fell backwards? Don’t give me that. You can’t hit that p

part of your head by falling backwards. What really happened?”
