Bride Behind The Mask Novel by Frederick
Chapter 410

Chapter 410 

An hour later, Frederick and Robert’s overtime finally came to an end 

Robert stretched languidly, yawned, and got up to leave. 

“I’m off. Oh, and remember to get to the office early tomorrow. We haven’t done a psychological debriefing in days, I need to test your olfactory sensitivity” 

As he spoke, Robert was already making his way to the door. 

Suddenly, Frederick spoke up, his voice threaded with exhaustion, “Wait a moment.” 

Robert turned around, his eyelids heavy with sleep. He squinted at Frederick, “What is it?” 

Frederick unconsciously licked his lips, finding it somewhat difficult to voice his question….what kind of toys do little girls generally like?” 

Little girls? Toys? 

Robert’s sleepiness evaporated instantly. He crossed his arms and laughed at Frederick, mimicking his tone on purpose. “Teresa’s got you wrapped around her little finger, hasn’t she?” 

Upon hearing this, Frederick’s face darkened, “Cut the crap! Just tell me!” 

Robert shrugged nonchalantly, grinning cheekily at Frederick, “Ive never had a daughter, how would I know what she likes? But Frederick, you’ve upset her, so it’s your job to make it right. If I help you out, I’d be taking the credit. Next thing you know, che’ll be calling me ‘daddy”.” 

Frederick shot Robert a frosty glare, harboring a momentary fantasy of sending him off to toil away in grueling hardship! 

“Get out!” 

After Robert left, Frederick once again found himself at a crossroads. 

His pride wouldn’t allow him to bow down to Teresa, especially since she was Marguerite and Maurice’s daughter. Why should he care if she was upset or not? 

The fact that he could tolerate Teresa’s presence at the mansion to accompany Hayes was already a significant concession. But the little girl was pushing it, even demanding an apology from him? No way! 

Yet, when Teresa declared that she would never come to his house again,” why did his heart flutter with agitation and annoyance? 

Even though he knew that Teresa might have said it in a fit of anger, he still took it to heart. All he could think about as he worked was the soft, sweet sound of Teresa calling him “Hayes’daddy” 

Bloody hell! 

As he brooded, his phone buzzed. It was a message from Marguerite! 

[Hi, coach. Teresa told me she skipped her Taekwondo class tonight, I’m really sorry. I’ve already scolded her. Will this affect her chances of being elected team leader? 

Frederick was stunned at her message. That was… unexpected. 

This woman was really clueless 

He thought his cover was blew, but she didn’t notice anything amiss? Even now, she’s worried about Teresa being team leader? Dumb woman! 

But since Teresa lied to Marguerite about skipping class, it meant the little girl hadn’t completely turned against him. She was probably waiting for him to apologize. 

His annoyance slowly subsided, and Frederick almost burst out laughing 

[The team leader election is for next semester. This term has already ended Please, Ms Lockwood, don’t worry too much 

Marguerite on the other end was taken aback The term had ended? 

Even though winter break was near, she distinctly remembered that Teresa had only been attending classes for less than a week! 

Seemed like the Taekwondo class started too late? 

Just as Marguerite was considering how to respond, Frederick sent another message. 

[Before winter break, we need to prepare gifts for the students. Does Teresa have any other hobbles, or any particular toy she wants?]
