Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 302

The boy was short, just a tad taller than the windowsill.

Dressed in a black, long, down coat, his noggin was covered with the hood of the coat, the Velcro flaps sticking together to cover his mouth.

The boy was snugly bundled up, and all Marguerite could see were his round eyes staring at her.

His gaze was filled with caution, yet it somehow tugged at her heartstrings.

Marguerite quickly got out of the car, and as the boy got a clear look at her face, he instinctively took a step back, seemingly frightened.

His terrified demeanor was as if she had harmed him in the past.

Marguerite was utterly confused, because she had never seen this boy before!

Marguerite hesitated before asking, "What's wrong?"

The boy's eyes were still filled with fear, his round eyes examining Marguerite closely, he was frozen for a while.

"Hey, kiddo?" Marguerite's tone was gentle. She found the little boy so adorable that she couldn't help but ruffle his hair.

The little guy withdrew his neck slightly, and his initial fear suddenly turned into delight.

It was as if a smile danced on his lips, his eyes crinkling into delightful little crescents.

He mustered the courage to tug at Marguerite's sleeve and then pointed under the car.

Marguerite tilted her head and asked, "Is there something under the car?"

The boy nodded.

The ground was covered in dirty snow, crushed by the tires. But Marguerite didn't mind the filth as she knelt to look under the car, spotting an orange ball.

Marguerite reached out and grabbed it, then handed it back to the little guy.

Marguerite felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest, she couldn't wait to ask, "Where's your dad? Is his name Frederick?"

There was a strange sparkle in the boy's eyes, he leaned forward and examined Marguerite's face with more seriousness.

In his little head, a bunch of questions arose, but he couldn't find any answers.

His reaction surprised Marguerite, it felt like an answer was on the verge of being revealed, but then, a childish voice screamed out.

"Hayes! Where is my ball? Hurry up and give it to me, or I'll tell mom and she'll spank you!"

The voice came from the mansion gate.

Both of them turned towards the source of the sound, Marguerite saw another boy standing next to the security guard, dressed in a Gucci limited edition coat with large logo, hands on hips.

He was shorter than the first boy, and his small body was as chubby as a round ball, radiating an air of superiority from head to toe.
