Chapter 289
The sight of Frederick brought a momentary joy to Marguerite.
The man she had been waiting for had finally amved, and she no longer had to face everything alone She yeamed to throw herself into his arms, regardless of whether he loved her or not. She wanted to use his sturdy shoulders as a pillar of support and to pour out her tears, without restraint.
But reason told Marguente that she couldn’t do that. She wasn’t certain if Frederick had overheard her conversation with Maurice, and now that she had taken off her mask, revealing her true face, she hadn’t figured out how to break this to him.
But Frederick’s maction wasn’t as shocked or surprised as she had imagined, as if he had known her true appearance all along
Fredenck stepped forward and took Marguerite’s hand, his authontative tone softened, it was comforting. Til take you home”
Marguente was a bit taken aback, but she followed Frederick, step by step But before they could leave the room, Maurice’s voice rang out from behind them
“Frederick! Marguente has something to tell you”
Both of them stopped in their tracks. Frederick turned around and looked quietly at Marguerite, but he was silent
In the few seconds of their eye contact, Marguerite saw a mix of emotions flash through Frederick’s eyes. First skepticism, then deep thought, and finally, he made a calm decision
His words were directed at Maurice, “Our business is none of your concern”
Fredenck took Marguente’s hand and turned around again, but Maurice spoke up, as if issuing a final ultimatum, “If you don’t tell him, I will.”
Marguente’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively pulled her hand out of Frederick’s grasp
Frederick paused, then looked back at Marguente. His bright eyes were unwavering, but he remained silent
Through Frederick’s eyes, Marguente realized that he didn’t seem to want to know what she had to tell him. Maybe, subconsciously, he sensed that what she was about to say was something serious. Serious enough to disrupt his life, perhaps even cause a radical change in his life.
So, Marguerite saw a hint of self–deception in Frederick’s expression
But after a long silence, he finally spoke, “What do you want to tell me?”
