Chapter 415
Bride Behind The Mask
Damn it! Robert had the audacity to sneak around him and get close to Teresa!
Chuck, who was holding a gigantic canvas, quickly dragged a stool between Teresa and Robert. Then, he respectfully said to Frederick, âMr. Winston, please have a seat.â
Frederick sat down between the two with a poker face. Only then did Robert realize that this man was probably jealous! He quickly released Teresaâs hand in a panic.
However, when did this man get here? He had been silently watching them like a ghost.
He probably didnât hear their plan, did he?
âSo, what were you guys talking about?â
Robert breathed a sigh of relief. From his words, it was clear that he didnât know about their plan.
And Mileyâs brain remained in a state of confusion, âMr. Winston, how did you get here?â
Frederick glared at her, âYou took my son away and dare to ask me why I came?â
Miley scratched her head awkwardly and tried to hide her embarrassment with an apologetic grin.
In fact, Frederick was called by Hayes because Hayes knew that his dad had bought painting supplies as an apology gift for Teresa.
Thinking that Teresa was there, he sent his dad the location.
âWe⦠didnât talk much, you arrived just as we started eating. I was just saying hi to Teresa.â
Robert explained nervously, facing Frederickâs hawk-like gaze, he couldnât help but shiver.
Damn it! This man was too petty!
At that moment, Frederick gave Chuck a look, and Chuck hurriedly handed the canvas to Teresa, praising Frederick extravagantly.
âTeresa, Mr. Winston noticed that you have a talent for painting, so he bought this canvas for you. Itâs a joint edition with the top artist Andie, itâs very hard to come by.â
Top artist Andie? Wasnât she her defeated opponent?
Teresa glanced at the canvas with disdain, refused to accept it, and deliberately raised her voice to let Frederick hear, âWhatâs so special about a joint edition? My drawing board is custom-made, and it cost a fortune when mommy bought it for me!
Uh⦠looks like the little girl was not going to forgive Mr. Winston easily.
Seeing Mr. Winstonâs face getting worse, Chuck hurriedly added, âBut these painting supplies are the best in Stonebridge City!â
âMy mommy bought me the best painting supplies in the world! Because they are custom-made, there is only one set in the world! Thatâs what truly unique means!â
Chuck was in a dilemma, he took back the canvas hesitantly and looked at Frederick, âMr. Winston, what do you thinkâ¦â
Robert and Miley watched the drama unfold, wondering how the famous Frederick could be cornered by Margueriteâs daughter.
Hayes was sweating for his dad. Teresa was determined to oppose his dad, so his dad couldnât upset Teresa anymore. Otherwise, she would really never go to the mansion again!
But to everyoneâs surprise, Frederick was remarkably calm.
He crossed his long legs, turned his head to look at the little girl next to him, and said leisurely.
âYouâve been spending time with me longer than with Marguerite, right?âWas this man already starting to compare himself to Marguerite in front of Teresa?
Teresa didnât give in, âBut mommyâs love for me is much more than yours! Mommy is the one who loves me most in the world, not you!â
Frederick was neither arrogant nor impatient, âI can give you things that Marguerite canât, just say it.â
From everyoneâs perspective, these two were completely on a comparison spree!
Teresa was immediately attracted by Frederickâs words, she raised her little face, innocently asking.
âWhatever I want, youâll give it to me?â
âOf course!â
âIf I want the stars in the sky, will you give them to me?â
Frederickâs eyes were sharp, he remained silent for a moment.
Stars from the sky? This little girl had been watching too many dramas!
Seeing that he was at a loss for words. Teresa pouted, casting a disdainful glance at him and saying.
âAll talk, no action! Mommy was right, men are all about empty promises! Especially Hayesâ daddy, his promises are lies!â
