Chapter 301
Bride Behind The Mask
The car shd half a meter in the snow before it came to a halt. Marguente unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out, her ankles sinking into the snow 25 she dashed unevenly towards the mansionâs entrance.
Just as the reached the doorway, a security guardâs arm swiftly blocked her path Maâam, who are you looking for?
The mansionâs security had changed hands several times, and this guard was new Marguerite didnât recognize him Iâd like to take a look inside Marguente tried to push past him, but the guard gently pushed her back, his body blocking the entrance as his hand gripped the side railing, effectively blocking her way âMaâam, this is a private residence You canât go in!â
Marguente was desperate. âHas the mansion been sold, gr has the owner returned?â
Tm not sure, today is my first dayâ
Marguente tiptoed to get a better look inside. The RollsâRoyce Cullinan was a fair distance away, and she couldnât make out the license plate, let alone determine the owner of the car The guard was growing impatient, âMaam, what exactly are you trying to do?â
Marguerite pointed at the RollsâRoyce Cullinan, âDo you know who owns that car? Is it the same person who owns the house?â
âI donât even know who owns the house, how could I possibly know who owns the car?â
Marguerite looked disappointed, but she didnât give up. âHave you seen a tall, thin man, very handsome with a mole near his eye?â
âMaâam, donât make a fuss here. If you donât leave. Iâll have to call the policeâ
The guardâs gloomy face looked even grimmer in the cold wind. Realizing that she had put him in a difficult position, Marguerite didnât push. She cast a resentful look at the guard, then reluctantly turned back to her car, her gaze lingering on the distant RollsâRoyce The Cullinan, once a rare sight, was now quite common among the wealthy Knowing Frederick Winstonâs character, he wouldnât be driving a threeâyearâold dar. But Marguente couldnât shake the feeling that Fredenck had returned She couldnât contain her excitement and immediately dialed Mileyâs number.
Miley, still groggy with sleep, answered, Whatâs up?â
Marguerite got straight to the point, âIs Frederick back in the country?â
Miley was surprised, âHow would I know if Mr. Winston is back or not?â
âDidnât Robert Fitzgerald tell you?â
âWe havenât been in touch for a week. He said he was going to South Africa to find someone. The signal there is bad, so he hasnt called Her guess was wrong then.
In recent years, Robert had always been with Frederick Marguerite knew that. If they were to return, Robert would certainly inform Miley first So, was she overthinking? Marguerite felt increasingly disappointed. She buried her head in the steering wheel, the feelings of guilt and pain enveloping her once more.
It was her fault that Frederick had to give up everything he had built with the Winston family Every time she thought of this, she felt like she was nailed to a pillar of shame, even despising herself a little She didnât dare to hope that Frederick would forgive her, nor did she want to stir up any more trouble.
But the constant longing was driving her mad She just wanted to see him, to know what he looks like now, whether he had gained or lost weight, how he was doing When she raised her head again, Margueriteâs face was wet with tears. Realizing that she might never see him again in her life, Marguerite took a deep breath She quickly wiped her tears, ready to resign herself to fate and leave. But just then, there was a slight movement under her car, as if something had rolled underneath Then, someone tapped on her car, it was gentle, without much force.
Marguerite turned to look out the window, and her eyes met a pair of round, stubborn ones To her surprise, it was a little boy!
