Chapter 159
Bride Behind The Mask
Having Yuna tend to Laveme at the mansion was certainly not an unmasonable request.
Frederick dialed Yunaâs number immediately. Pack your bags within an hour and come stay at the mansion for a few days.â
He wasnât planning on Yuna staying indefinitely, once Laveme was mobile enough, he intended to hire professional caregivers for her.
Upon hearing the news, Yuna was initially taken aback, then overjoyed. âFreddie, did I hear you right?
Youâre inviting me to stay at the mansion?â
I send someone to pick you up.â
Frederickâs tone was indifferent as he casually dropped a line before hanging up.
Yuna, clutching her phone, was so excited she was trembling, unable to extract herself from her joyful emotions.
Indeed, revealing Margueriteâs pregnancy test report was the best move she had ever made.
With that vile woman out of the picture, Freddie seemed to care about her even more than before.
Seeing Yuna grinning like a Cheshire cat, Zoe nudged her âWhatâs going on? Whose call has you so excited?â
Yuns burst out laughing. âMom and Dad, the era of my happiness is about to dawn. Freddie just asked me to move into his mansion! He wants to live with me! Mom, Dad, 1 need to pack!â
Yuna hopped merrily into her room, to which Zoe immediately added, âTake some matching lingerie!
The kind thatâs subtly alluring! Lace would be best! Yuna, this is a golden opportunity, you must try to have his child!â
âI know, Mom! Iâve bought all of that already, just in case!â
Unfortunately, Yunaâs joy was premature. When she arrived at the mansion in high spints, only to learn of Frederickâs intention, she was utterly stunned âFreddie, you invited me over just to take care of that old granny?â Her tone could not hide her disappointment.
Frederick remained silent, looking at her with a cold gaze Laverne, however, wheeled herself forward with a jovial smile, purposely raising her voice, âYou sound disappointed What, you donât want to take care of me?â Yuna gave Laveme a forced smile, finding the old womanâs halfâparalyzed state in her wheelchair quite annoying.
How was she supposed to take care of this old woman?!
Damn it!
âGranny, itâs not that I donât want to. Itâs just that we should probably hire a professional nurse. I mean, if Iâm sleeping with Freddie at night, it would be inconvenient if you needed anything.â
As Yuna spoke, she cast a seductive glance at Frederick, her intentions clear Hearing this, Laverneâs eyes widened âWhat did you say! Freddie hasnât divorced yet, and you already want to share a bed with him? You have no shame! Of course, youâll be staying in the same room as me! Who else would take care of me?!â
Yuna tumed ashen, immediately turning to Frederick with a pout, âFreddie, canât I stay with you? Iâm your fiancée âNoâ Frederickâs response was ruthless and cold, without an ounce of hesitation.
âBut if I share a bed with Granny, I might disturb her if I toss and turn at nightâ¦
Ha! She knew Yuna would say that!
Laveme had already prepared for this.
âNo need to worry about that, Sadie has already arranged for an extra cot in the room.â
Laverne confidently looked at Yuna.
What what?
A cot?
Nevertheless, no matter how unwilling she was at the moment, she had no choice but to comply for her own sake.
Once she had Frederickâs child, her day will come Yuna gritted her teeth in anger, yet managed to put on a forced smile, âGranny, youâre as thoughtful as ever. Since youâve already prepared, I guess I have no choice but to complyâ
She thought, âDamn old woman! Just you wait, your day will come!â
However, how could Laveme not see through Yunaâs little schemes? Laveme was determined not to let her have her way.
Throughout the afternoon, Laverne kept ordering Yuna around Yuna was formented to the point of exhaustion, with no chance to get close to Fredenck Finally, when night fell, Yuna helped Laveme to bed before collapsing onto the narrow cot and falling asleep She was exhausted, sleeping so deeply she was snoring, with no energy left to retaliate against Laverne.
In the middle of the night, Laverne chuckled mischievously, secretly pulling out a bottle of golden liquid from under her bed.
She opened the bottle and took a whiff, the pungent smell almost suffocating.
