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.
