Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 372

Teresa had been itching to present the DNA test results to Frederick for a while now, but her days were consumed by sorting out affairs for Hayes, leaving her with no time.

Now that she’d dealt with that bad woman Yuna, she could finally turn her thoughts to matters of family lineage..

Little did the young girl know, her inquiry had hit a sore spot for Frederick. Marguerite was the woman Frederick hated the most. He was still trying to figure out his feelings towards her, so how could he possibly admit anything easily?

Teresa’s secret was also far from captivating enough to pique his interest.

Feeling a bit disgruntled, Frederick was careful not to let his temper flare, for fear of scaring Teresa, so he concealed his emotions well. He simply reiterated, “Teresa, as I’ve mentioned before, Marguerite and I are not as close as you think.”

Teresa, however, was not easily deterred. “That doesn’t mean you can’t have feelings for her!”

Teresa’s earnest expression showed her determination. Her small hand, hidden in her backpack, tightly clenching the DNA test results.

She was bursting to reveal her huge secret!

Come on, admit it! Admit you have feelings for Mommy, and I can tell you I’m your daughter!

But Frederick merely looked down at the little girl, her eager face once again leaving him at a loss.
