Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 247

"Frederick!"

Marguerite called out to him, her voice trembling uncontrollably. Frederick turned around stiffly, not daring to meet her eyes.

Through his reaction, Marguerite understood that he probably did not want her to know about something.

"Is she pregnant?"

Frederick lowered his eyes, his heart a tangled mess. He nodded silently, not uttering a word.

"Wh... when did this happen?"

"Not long ago."

How long is not long ago? Was it before their marriage or after?

Marguerite knew the answer without pondering too much. Yuna must have found out about her pregnancy recently, otherwise, with her personality, she would have already blabbed about it all around town.

Marguerite felt a sudden pang in her heart. She was trying to console herself. After all, she was carrying another man's child too. What right did she have to demand fidelity from Frederick?

She understood it all too well, managing to force out an awkward smile. But her hands couldn't stop trembling.

Marguerite waved her off. "I ate before I came. Don't bother."

She then turned to her grandmother and made a bit of small talk before heading to her room. Something about her seemed off, and her grandmother noticed the large bump on the back of her head.

"What happened to your head, dear?" she asked, immediately reaching out to touch it. Marguerite winced in pain, and her grandmother grew more worried.

"I just fell, Grandma. I'm fine," Marguerite reassured her.

"Fell? Fell backwards? Don't give me that. You can't hit that part of your head by falling backwards. What really happened?"
