Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 254

Realizing that the man in front of her was looking at her with a strange and profound gaze, Marguerite only then realized that her unconscious mumbling had been heard by him.

Uh...

Why did she blurt out something like that?

At this moment, Marguerite's face turned as red as a tomato, wishing she could find a hole to bury herself in.

Frederick cleared his throat, not avoiding her gaze, and deliberately said, "If you want, I have no objections. After all, I'm not at a disadvantage."

Marguerite abruptly gazed at Frederick, feeling embarrassed but also noticing something different about Frederick today.

His tone was also gentle, not deep, as if he was responding to her joke?

What happened during his trip to the Winston Mansion? Did he finally take down Maurice or something else? His mood seemed unusually good today.

Or perhaps, it was because she had been spending a lot of time with Jocelyn lately and had helped her out a lot, so Frederick was graciously willing to chat more with her.

Marguerite drained the soup from the thermos, and Frederick handed her a napkin. His voice was flat, but he subtly observed her expression, "I'll be moving back to your place starting tomorrow."

Marguerite was taken aback, "Is the Seaside Manor not comfortable?"

"No. Your grandma seems to miss me."

Oh?

Marguerite thought about how she had cried to her grandma about Yuna's pregnancy yesterday. So, was Frederick being called back by her grandma?

Marguerite hesitated as she looked at the man, feeling that his gaze was particularly strange at this moment, as if he was expecting her to make a statement.

She squinted her eyes and tilted her head, "You want me to bring grandma to pick you up?"

Frederick finally revealed a contented smile, "I don't mind."

Don't mind?

So that's what he meant.

However, Marguerite sometimes really couldn't understand some of the practices of the capitalists. For just coming home, did she really need to bring grandma and the servants with a banner to welcome him?

"What, do you have objections?"

Once again, the man guessed what she was thinking, and Marguerite felt a little annoyed.

But she didn't hide anything and explained softly, "Tomorrow, I need to take grandma to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. There are many tests, and she needs to be hospitalized."

She was resisting him with all her might, which made Frederick feel extremely uncomfortable.

Despite the clear signs from her, why did he always keep testing the waters?

Frederick's originally relaxed face slightly fell, and without saying much, he got up and left Marguerite's office.

Meanwhile, at Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.

Steven had just contacted Marguerite not long ago when he received a notice about a business trip.

At that time, he was sorting through a stack of files when his assistant, Janie, walked in, "Steven, you're going on a business trip for two days. Are you still going to do Laverne's re-examination?"

"Do it. I'll be back early the day after tomorrow, in time."

Janie looked concerned, "Won't it be a bit rushed? The director suggests that the newly arrived Dr. Jimmy temporarily take over your work. Since it's only a re-examination, as long as he is proficient with the equipment, there will definitely be no problems."

Steven turned to look at her, "The director suggested?"

Janie nodded, "Yes."

Steven pondered for a while, "That works."
