Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 296

Marguerite locked eyes with her, an intense gaze that flickered then faded, "Miley, you're overthinking things. He probably hates me. Why would he want you to call me to him?"

"You're carrying Maurice's child, but I think Mr. Frederick is feeling conflicted. It's not good that the child is Maurice's, he won't accept it right away, you have to give him time!"

"Yes, the child is Maurice's. So why would he want me to leave with him?"

Miley stomped her foot in frustration, feeling like Marguerite was being stubborn.

"That's why I said he's conflicted! Marguerite, if you go, there's still a chance for you two. If you don't, there's no hope left."

Marguerite gazed at the shimmering sea, her voice filled with sadness, "You don't understand our relationship. He doesn't love me at all. From the beginning, it was just my wishful thinking."

Miley held her head in her hands, completely exasperated by Marguerite, her voice uncontrollably loud, "At this point, who cares if he loves you! Marguerite, stop being so dramatic! You only get one chance, grasp it or lose it forever! Think about it!"

Miley huffed off, having said all she could. Whether Marguerite could seize this last opportunity was up to her.

Miley left the villa in a huff, leaving Marguerite holding the plane ticket, feeling a surge of emotions. The flight was at 8pm, directly from Stonebridge City to Vespera.

Marguerite suddenly felt dizzy, her head spinning. The distance between Vespera and Stonebridge was thousands of miles. But to Marguerite, it felt farther than the ends of the earth. Because it meant that they would part forever. There would be nothing left between her and Frederick.

Jocelyn would take good care of Frederick, and with Robert's resources, he could regain his status. She had nothing to worry about. And with Yuna giving birth to Frederick’s child, they could live happily ever after in Vespera.

The more Marguerite thought about it, the lonelier she felt. Tears streamed down her face.

But no matter how much she tried to convince herself, a rebellious voice echoed inside her. Deep down, she wanted to run away with Frederick.

[Marguerite, answer the phone!]

[Two hours left! Robert said they're already on their way to the airport!]

[Marguerite! Only one hour left! In ten minutes, they'll start boarding! Please give it a try. Just do it for me. You've never loved anyone before, now that you've met him, do you really want to live with this regret?]

Marguerite looked at Miley's long messages. Something had struck a chord in her, and her resolve began to waver.

Her rational side told her she should stay put in her villa, to not cause any more trouble in Frederick's life. But she wanted to see him again, even if it was for the last time.

With that thought, Marguerite retrieved the plane ticket from the trash can.
