Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 616
Dusk settled in, draping the city in a veil of twilight as the streetlights flickered to
life.
Nestled in a window seat at the Bluebell Bistro, Marguerite and Miley had a
panoramic view of the city’s glittering nightlife.
Opposite them sat Frederick and Robert, two dashing figures whose eyes were
lowered as if the array of succulent dishes before them had lost all flavor.
The recent paternity test results had left Frederick and Robert in utter disbelief.
Meanwhile, Yuna, upon learning her true heritage, could barely contain her
elation. She carried the esteemed Fitzgerald bloodline, she was the real heiress
of the Fitzgerald clan.
No longer fearing her true identity would be uncovered, she was emboldened
and convinced that she and Frederick were a match made in heaven, a perfect
pairing of equals./
With brimming confidence, she turned to Hackett and Penelope-not so subtly
addressing Frederick, “Mom, Dad, I've redone the paternity test as Robert
suggested. I am truly your daughter. So, shouldn't we start planning my and
Frederick's engagement?”
She was intent on leveraging the influence of the Fitzgerald elders to corner
Frederick.
But before her parents could respond, Frederick, with Marguerite in tow, had
already made a swift exit under the watchful eyes of the crowd, not even
deigning to acknowledge the situation.
And soon, the group of four found themselves at the Bluebell Bistro.
Marguerite, propping her chin in her hands, gazed at Frederick with eyes as deep
and stirring as a lake, her confusion apparent.
Miley leaned in and whispered to Marguerite, “You know, staring at him like
that... it's a bi obvious, don't you think?”
Snapping back to reality, Marguerite turned to Miley, a hint of exasperation in her
eyes. “Nonsense, I'm just... confused.”
“Confused by what?”
Marguerite couldn't help but steal another glance at Frederick before confiding in
a low voice, “I get why Robert's upset, but why is Frederick looking like he’s lost
his best friend?” Miley shrugged, nonchalantly saying, “What else can it be? It
must be because Frederick confirmed Yuna's identity, which pretty much seals
the deal on their arranged
engagement. He probably doesn’t want to marry her, right? I bet he’s trying to
figure a way out of it.”

Miley's words were barely a whisper in Marguerite’s ear, but as she finished, they
saw Frederick lifting his gaze, his eyes as deep and inscrutable as an ancient
well.
He casually tapped on the table near Robert, his voice icy and expressionless,
“Your lady sure has a lot to say.”

you?”
