Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 819

The next day at Cresthaven Sunshine Kindergarten, Margot was brimming with excitement as soon as she stepped into the building. Her mind was clearly racing with some secret thought, as her head bobbed from side to side, causing her pigtails to bounce along with her movements.

Manley noticed this and gave Hayes a subtle nudge, nodding in Margot's direction.

"What’s up?" Hayes asked, frowning in concern.

Manley looked worried, "Is Margot having one of her spells again? Why is she grinning like that for no reason?"

Hayes watched Margot, who was giggling to herself not far away, with increasing curiosity. He'd tried several times to catch her attention, even checked her face for signs, but to no avail.

He had asked her to draw something, but that didn’t work either!

Every attempt left him stumped, yet Hayes was determined.

Because, clear as day, he could see that Margot's dad’s profile was an exact match for his own father’s! There was no way he could be mistaken about that.

So, he knew he had to find an opportunity to meet this man named Silas.

But figuring out how to arrange such a meeting was proving to be quite the puzzle.

The last session before lunch was art class, and as the time to meet Marguerite drew nearer, Margot’s excitement was mingled with a bit of nervousness. She had so much she wanted to say, but she worried Marguerite might not believe her, or worse, think she was just making it all up.

Where should she begin? Maybe from six months ago...

Bzzzz—

The sudden, tiny vibration of her wristwatch broke through her thoughts. She glanced down to see a message on her kiddie smartwatch:

[Meet me at the school gate.]

Huh?

What was going on?

The tinted windows prevented her from seeing inside, so Margot pressed her little hands and face against the glass, trying to peer in.

After quite a bit of effort, she realized the car was empty.

What was happening?

Quickly, Margot sent a message to Marguerite via her smartwatch.

But just then, she noticed through the reflection in the car window that a shadow had appeared behind her.

Before she could turn around, a black hood was suddenly pulled over her head. Everything went dark as her arms were swiftly bound behind her, and in the next moment, she was lifted and tossed into the car.
