Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 349

The ringtone was Teresa’s favorite lullaby, but at this moment, it sounded more terrifying than any horror movie score.

“What do I do now? I told her I was going to Taekwondo class! She definitely wants me to hand the phone to the coach! Who can pretend to be the coach for me?”

Teresa was on the verge of tears, holding her phone as if it was a hot potato.

She turned to look at Hayes.

No way, he was a little mute, he wouldn’t be able to pretend.

Teresa’s eyes then met with Chuck’s, who flinched as if burnt by her gaze, “No can do! Marguerite would recognize my voice right away!”

Chuck then turned his attention to Frederick, “Mr. Winston! Mr. Winston, maybe you should take the call!” Mr. Winston was always cunning, a true wolf in sheep’s clothing! He could lie without batting an eye, he was the perfect candidate!

Without hesitation, Frederick took the phone from Teresa, ready to answer the call, but the little one snatched it right back, “Daddy, no! Mommy knows your voice! You can’t fool

her!”

Daddy? This sudden address made Frederick’s heart skip a beat, stirring something deep within him. A strange sense of… happiness?

His gaze was fixed on the little girl, who was still busy with the phone call. She leaned forward in her seat, handing the phone to the driver. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Sir, can you take the call? Mommy definitely won’t recognize your voice!”

The driver didn’t immediately take the phone, instead, he looked at Frederick through the rear–view mirror, seemingly waiting for his command.

Frederick glanced at Teresa’s phone and told the driver, “Answer it.”

Upon hearing this, the driver respectfully took the phone, cleared his throat, and adopted a deep voice, “Hello, this is Teresa’s Taekwondo instructor. Yes… okay… understood…”

The matter was smoothly handled, and the driver ended the call. Teresa let out a sigh of relief. She slumped back into her seat, patting her chest, “Thank God, that was a close one!”

But just as one wave settled, another rose. Frederick wasn’t about to let the little one off the hook.

“What did you just call me?”

Teresa stiffened, straightening her back.

Oh no! Did she just call him daddy in her panic?

Teresa couldn’t help but reach for the paternity test in her pocket. She wanted to show it to him as proof that she didn’t call him by the wrong name!

However, seeing Hayes out of the corner of her eye, she didn’t want to hurt him, so she swallowed her words. She looked at Frederick with an innocent face, her eyes brimming with naivety, “I meant to call you Hayes‘ daddy, but I was so panicked, I slipped up.”

Frederick’s gaze was unyielding, he asked again, “Do you know the relationship between Marguerite and I?”

Oh no! Daddy sure has a lot of questions!

Marguerite did mention that she dated him, but how could she admit it now?

If she did, Hayes would surely overthink!

Teresa shook her head vigorously, acting cute, “Nope!”

“Why did you say she would recognize my voice?”

Teresa was speechless this time.

Was daddy a walking encyclopedia of questions? Why was he always asking ‘why‘?

Chuck also watched with a gossiping look, and Hayes was also curious.

Teresa looked at Hayes, then at Chuck, deciding that this secret couldn’t be known by

everyone.

So, the little one half–kneeled on the seat, her small hands resting on Frederick’s broad shoulders, she whispered into his ear.

“Hayes‘ daddy, I saw you kissing my mommy the other day. You bit her lips until they bled…”
