Chapter 323
Marguerite’s mind went blank, and she found herself involuntanly moving forward, taking a seat in the passenger side of the car
“Where to?”
Marguente was dazed, but before she could respond, her stomach grumbled loudly
Frederick was silent for a while, then started the engine and without expression, uttered two words, “Dinner then
The joumey was quiet, the narrow space filled with a peaceful silence. She could hear his steady breathing and the familiar scent that clung to him
Back when they were at LuxeScents International, he often smelled of various perfumes due to his work. But despite his change in occupation and absence of perfume, Marquerte could still detect a distinct scent that was uniquely his
Has he been well these past few years? Has his sense of smell recovered? Marquente had so many questions, but none she could voice out.
Their destination was Bluebell Bistro, the place where Frederick had planned to confess his feelings for Marguente And he had specifically chosen a table on the
terrace.
Marguente, of course, was not aware of this
Although the confession plan was three years ago, as Frederick looked around, the tumultuous emotions from that day resurfaced
Regret, pain, and hatred, effectively piercing his heart.
The chilly wind howled, and the waiter kindly closed the window
After Frederick ordered a few appetizers, the awkward silence descended once again.
In Marguente’s mind, a reunion with Frederick was supposed to be tense and confrontational
Who would have thought that they could sit together peacefully?
Frederick’s eyes locked onto Marguerite’s, a spark in his gaze, “Three years ago, a man booked the entire restaurant for a love confession, but the plan was canceled due to the betrayal of his lover. Hence, the man bought the restaurant and closed it down for years”
The word “betrayal‘ sent chills down Marguerite’s spine
His tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else’s story, but in reality, he was insinuating his own.
Foolish enough to be trapped in a calculated marriage, yet constantly pondering on how to confess his feelings
She understood the hatred and pain, but where did the loss come from?
As Marguerite was sorting out her thoughts, Frederick’s question threw her into a whirlwind of emotions. He asked her, “Marquente, did you ever love me?”
Marguente was taken aback, and then a wave of emotion swept over her
From the day she rushed to the airport and locked eyes with him amidst a sea of people, she had chosen to confront her feelings. This wasn’t a question the needed to ponder over. Regardless of what he might think, she looked at him sincerely and said, “I do”
What Marguerite said was “I do“, not “I did. Her feelings for Frederick were always in the present tense
“Do you love Maurice? This question was unexpected and left Marguente perplexed
Before she could deny it, more questions from him flooded in
“Have you two slept together? How many times? And is everything you have now a result of selling your body?”
