Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 335

Chapter 335

Marguerite and Frederick had been apart for three years, and she knew he was no longer the man he used to be.

Yet, his hatred for her and the Winston family was undeniable.

He wouldn’t set foot in the Winston Manor, so at the moment, it was safest for Teresa to live with Powell and Lisette.

However, when the little girl heard that her mom wanted to transfer her to another school, she immediately burst

into tears. “I don’t want to! I don’t want to change schools! I don’t want to live at Grandma and Grandpa’s place

either!”

Marguerite furrowed her brows, gently adjusting Teresa’s shoulders, her tone stern, Teresa, behave yourself!”

Teresa, desperate and crying like a kettle on the boil, bawled and muttered through her tears.

“I don’t want to go back to the Winston Manor! I don’t even like Grandma! She told me about you and Daddy not

being married!”

Marguerite was taken aback, then filled with rage at Lisette for discussing such matters with a child. Lisette never

approved of Marguerite or acknowledged Teresa as her granddaughter. Whenever Teresa tried to bond with her,

Lisette would keep her distance.

On the other hand, Powell seemed quite fond of Teresa.

Marguerite would sometimes take Teresa to the Winston Manor when Lisette was absent.

No wonder Teresa knew so much. Lisette must have been stirring the pot behind her back.

Worried that Lisette might spill more beans to Teresa, Marguerite finally acquiesced to her daughter’s pleas,

“Alright, we don’t have to move back to the Winston Manor. But you must consider changing schools.”

Teresa burst into heavier tears upon hearing this, sobbing uncontrollably.

“I don’t want to change schools! I’d have to adjust to a new environment. If I join in the middle of the term,

everyone will ostracize me! Mommy, I don’t want to change schools, I don’t want to…”

Her crying broke Marguerite’s heart. Teresa’s little shoulders were shaking up and down, she could hardly catch her

breath.

Marguerite quickly tried to soothe her, “You don’t have to change schools, but you must promise me one thing.”

Teresa, sniffing and with tear–streaked cheeks, looked utterly pathetic. “Wha…what thing?”

Try to avoid Hayes at school. Can you do that?”

Teresa’s eyes widened in shock, and she broke down again.

“I can’t do it, Mommy! I can’t!” she wailed. Her cries could shake the heavens.

Looking at her daughter’s tearful face, Marguerite felt like someone had cruelly taken away her precious treasure.

But Teresa’s distraught expression was oddly comical, and Marguerite couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Hayes must have transferred to the school only recently. How did he and Teresa become so close in just a few

days?

Her daughter and Frederick’s son being so close wasn’t that a twisted fate?

So, no matter how hard it was for her she had to be the villain for her daughter’s safety.

If you can’t fulfil Mommy’s request, then you’ll have to change schools.”

Teresa sobbed, her mind racing. Changing schools would mean that she couldn’t see Hayes anymore! So she

Won’t let that happen!

Anyway, her mom wouldn’t see what she did at school. She’d agree first and see how things go!

So Teresa sniffed, suppressed her sadness, and put on an obedient facade, “I agree… I’ll try to avoid Hayes!”

Marguerite finally breathed a sigh of relief. After comforting her daughter a bit more, she left Teresa’s bedroom.
