Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 428

The sound of Frederick retching in the bathroom was subdued, but Marguerite could still hear his discomfort.

Marguerite’s heart ached. She took the glass of water that Hayes handed her, then scolded Teresa with a stern face, “You’ve taken the joke too far this time! You need to apologize to him later!” With this, she strode off towards the bathroom.

Teresa blinked. She saw her mom’s serious face and realized that she was upset.

So, her mom really did like Hayes’ dad, didn’t she? She was genuinely worried about him!

Meanwhile, in the bathroom. Frederick continued to retch. Marguerite handed him the water, but he was too preoccupied to take it.

She placed the glass on the sink and instinctively moved closer to him, her delicate hand gently stroking his back, over and over again in a soothing rhythm.

“Are you feeling better?” Marguerite asked, her voice full of concern.
