Chapter 408
Bride Behind The Mask
Teresaâs small hand wrapped around Margueriteâs neck, giving her an affectionate pat âMommy, stop! Daddy⦠Hayesâ daddy is going to apologize to us!â
Apologize? Would Frederick apologize to her? Marguerite hesitated, but eventually halted her steps, slowly turning around The next moment, she saw Frederickâs gaze fixated on her second hand car across the mansion, his voice clear and authoritative, âThatâs my motherâs car, Everyone was stunned, thinking, âthis man is so stubborn! Is this the time to talk about the car?â
Marguerite remained silent, not surprised at all A month ago, Frederick asked her to return the car, but it had been postponed due to various reasons.
Marguerite held Teresa in one arm, while taking out the car keys from her coat pocket with the other hand, stretching her arm straight out Her open palm still bore the blood marks from banging the door that morning.
And the gauze that wrapped around the wound was long gone, ripped off when she had been steering the car vigorously while chasing her daughter here But despite Marguerite holding out the keys for a long time, Frederick did not step forward to take them, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on her injured palm Marguerite was bewildered. What was Frederick up to?
He wanted her to return the car, and now that she was ready to do so, he seemed displeased?
Teresaâs dissatisfaction grew stronger. What a rotten dad! Heâs such a bad guy!
Not only did he not apologize, but he also wanted to take back the car that mommy had been driving for three years!
Although she did not understand why mommy always drove an old car, she knew that this was mommyâs favorite car!
Her dad was just too despicable! She wasnât going to like him anymore!
Margueriteâs arm, still holding the keys, began to ache from strain. She looked at Frederick with displeasure, demanding, âDo you want it or not?â
Frederick remained silent.
The standoff between the two made the atmosphere on the scene particularly strange.
and you need to leave it behind.â
Jocelyn, seeing this, stepped forward to mediate, âSince youâve been driving the car all this time, just keep it for now. Itâs getting dark, and itâs not easy to get a cab outsideâ Marguerite thanked Jocelyn, turned around, and drove away Even though Marguerite had left with Teresa, Frederickâs anger could not be quelled.
More than that, he was confused. He did not understand why Teresa had suddenly turned against him!
Where had he offended the kittle girl?
Everyone leisurely walked towards the villa area. Jocelyn, pondering Teresaâs behavior, mused aloud, âFrederick, it seems that Teresa holds a significant grudge against you?â
The little Hayes in his arms also piped up, âTeresa said. daddy is⦠cheater bad guyâ¦â
Jocelyn continued to think aloud, âThe last time I saw Teresa was at Hayesâ birthday party. Nothing much happened then it was just that you and Yuna were a bit affectionate? Hmm, no wonder sheâs calling you a cheaterâ
âIâm not her father, so why should she be angry if Iâm affectionate with someone?â
Robert, always one for a good show, couldnât help but add, âUnless this little girl really sees you as her father!â
Strangely, Robertâs words did not upset Frederick. Instead, it stirred up a peculiar sense of accomplishment, as if being liked by Teresa was some sort of vahdation for him.
Frederickâs mood softened a bit, but then Hayes suddenly lugged at his clothes Frederick turned his head, only to see the little guy staring at him earnestly âDaddy please make up with. Teresa.â
The stern look on Frederickâs face completely disappeared, âAre you afraid Teresa wonât play with you?â
Hayes shook his head quickly, searching for the right words in his mind. Then he straightforwardly and laboriously said, âTeresa will play with me, but if you annoy be your may⦠not be pleasantâ
