Chapter 333
Bride Behind The Mask
This man actually kissed her mommy!
Teresa, in the other room, Jumped in shock, nearly letting out a gasp.
And Marquente, who was wrapped in Frederickâs embrace, didnât resist.
Frederick had her wrapped so tightly she couldnât push him away, even the kiss was fraught with vengeance. She felt Frederickâs tongue pry open her lips, then sweep through her mouth.
Margueriteâs body went limp as their lips met, and snowflakes suddenly started to fall from the sky.
She was shivering violently, unsure whether it was from the cold wind and snow, or from the turmoil stirred by the kiss.
Her mind was blank, instinctively wanting to hold him. But before she could wrap her arms around Frederickâs waist, she felt a sharp pain in her lips, and the taste of blood filled her mouth.
âOuch!â Marguerite whimpered in pain, struggling to push Frederick away. She pressed her tongue against the wound he had bitten, her face pale.
Frederickâs complex gaze landed on Margueriteâs face. Under the dim light of the eaves, Marguerite exuded a delicate charm he had never seen before.
Frederickâs displeasure grew. In the years he had been living abroad, had Marguerite been as flustered and entangled with Maurice as she was now?
Frederickâs sharp gaze fixed on Marguerite, his hand gently traced her bleeding lips, lingering over the blood.
âSo, all this scheming for a roll in the hay. What, Maurice canât satisfy you, so you want to taste forbidden.
fruit?â
The repeated humiliation made Margueriteâs emotions surge. She couldnât bear it any longer, raising her arm and slapping Frederick hard. She used all her strength for that slap, but tears filled her eyes.
Frederick retaliated by grabbing her throat, pushing her back until she was pinned against a column under the eaves.
Frederick clenched his jaw, his entire body radiating a dangerous aura. His eyes were cruel, his tone threatening, âKeep your daughter in check. If I find out sheâs making moves on Hayes, Iâll make sure she pays dearly!â With that, he let go of her. Whether Margueriteâs legs gave out from weakness or she collapsed on the ground, he was indifferent.
Marguerite watched him storm off to his car, the taillights quickly disappearing into the night. But his warning left her more terrified.
Teresa was her everything, she couldnât let her daughter get into danger.
She quickly calmed herself, struggling to her feet with the support of the wall, and ran into the house, wishing she could make Teresa and Hayes break up right now.
But the moment she stepped inside, Teresa jumped out from the shadows, blurting out, âMommy, were you and Hayesâ daddy in love before?â
In the blink of an eye, facing Teresa, she felt as if she was facing a great enemy.
Teresa had seen? But how much had she seen?
Teresaâs words sent Marguerite into even deeper distress.
In her panic, Marguerite could only use her authority to shut her up, âThis Is adult stuff, donât butt in!â
But todayâs Teresa wasnât buying it! She stared at Marguerite with a stubborn, hurt look in her eyes:
But you guys just kissed!â
