Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 514

Maurice finished his words and retreated back into his car.

Marguerite watched him drive away, her gaze lingering until the taillights were no more than a distant glow. Chuck, hidden in the shadows, noticed that they didn’t argue, hurried back to the hospital room to report to Frederick.
