Chapter 183
Bride Behind The Mask
Fr though he was dalbe fed up with Yunaâs endless monologue, he couldnât help but wonder whether he had ignored this woman who had once saved his life She right they were to get maned, after all.
Arbough he had started doubting this due to Marguenteâs presence in his life and contemplated whether he should go ahead with his promise to marry Yuna But then Marguerite got pregnant. She was pregnant with a child that was not his The reality had made the choice for him, but he was still reluctant to accept his fate.
He didnt ve Yuns, he knew that if he married her, it wouldnât just be him who would be hurt, but Yuna would end up being the most hurt.
For the first time Frederick felt the need to have a real conversation with Yuna.
He put down his cup, moved the chair next to Yunaâs bed, and asked gently. âDo you really want to marry a man who doesnât love you?â
Yuna was taken aback.
Freddie didnât love her? How could that be when she had once saved his life?
Yuna was visibly upset, her expression defiant, as if she was the one who had saved Frederickâs life fifteen years ago.
âFreddie, what are you trying to say?â
âWhether someone loves another person or not, it can be felt. Since youâve noticed that Iâve been ignonng you, it means you know that I donât love you.â
Frederickâs voice was calm when he said this, showing no concern for her feelings Yuna was trembling with anger, âFreddie, if you donât love me, who do you love then? Is it Marguente?
Freddie, I was the one who saved you!â
Frederick was enraged by Yunaâs words, âThis is between you and me, why do you keep bringing up Marguerite? What does she have to do with what happened fifteen years ago?â
Yuna was taken aback, she was rendered speechless by Frederickâs question Frederick looked up at Yuna, her startled expression made him think that maybe he had been too harsh. He paused, softened his tone, and explained, âItâs because you saved me fifteen years ago that I promised to marry you. But before we do that, I need to tell you that I can marry you, but I wonât be able to love you.â
As expected, Frederickâs willingness to marry her was entirely due to that incident fifteen years ago.
This was Yunaâs talisman, as long as she had it, Frederick had to keep his promise!
As for his feelingsâ¦
Whether he loved her or not wasnât important, as long as he was willing to stay with her, he would eventually develop feelings for her.
Yuna sniffled, nodded, and held onto Frederickâs hand, âFreddie, itâs enough that I love you! But I donât want to push you. Mamage is a lifelong commitment, I donât want you to be unhappy.
So, could you give me a chance to get close to you? We could give each other some time to develop feelings. After that, if you still canât love me, Iâll let go. Whomever you love, and want to marry, will have nothing to do with me.â
Fredenck looked at her, his eyes deep and thoughtful This perhaps was her biggest compromise, but for him, there was no loss.
He couldnât refuse Frederick sighed lightly, nodded his head, and agreed.
Yuna was overjoyed This was just a strategy for her to get closer to Frederick, she just needed to find a way to bear Frederickâs child and get rid of Marguente.
Whether he loved her or not in the end, he would have to marry her!
Yuna hugged Frederick, her face full of happiness, she buried her face in his chest. âThank you, Freddie, I wonât let you down.â
Frederick, however, remained distant. He paused, and then asked, âHave you found your sapphire necklace that you said you lost?â
Yuna was startled, âWhen did I say that?â
âAt the photo studioâ
Damn! The person at the photo studio was Marguente, not her!
Yuna quickly corrected herself, âIm sorry, Freddie, I had a high fever when I was a child, and my memory is not very good. I did lose the necklace, I donât know where I lost IL Could you buy me a new one?â
A month ago, when Frederick used the sapphire necklace to find Yuna, he personally put it around her neck.
But Yuna never wore it again.
After all, it was Margueriteâs necklace. Yuna was worried that if Marguerite saw it, she would be exposed, so she hid it Now that Fredenck thought the necklace was lost, she might as well go along with it That necklace was ugly and cheap, it didnât match her current status at all!
She had to get Frederick to buy her a more expensive one!
Frederick paused Buy a new one?
That necklace was so important, but Yuna was nonchalant about losing it and wanted a new
