The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 825

Margaret's eyes lit up with realization.

How had she not thought of this? Her priority needed to be strictly on Audrey.

Seeing that Margaret had taken the bait, Daisy breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Terrified that Margaret would inevitably sabotage the plan with her temper, she added a stern warning, "Just remember, Margaret—if you're about to clash with Winona, take a deep breath. Do not give her any ammunition to use against you."

"I know, I know."

Daisy felt she had spoon-fed Margaret the perfect strategy. Surely, she couldn't mess this up.

Autumn in Riverton was fleeting. Practically overnight, the temperatures plummeted, plunging the city straight into a bitter winter.

Unused to the sudden shift in climate, Wynne caught a severe chill that quickly turned into a high fever.

Coincidentally, Winona had just been called back to the military base for a five-day stint, and Stefan was bogged down in the Capital, dealing with an emergency crisis at the company.

Sensing the perfect opportunity, Margaret descended on their home under the guise of helping with childcare. She spent her days monopolizing Audrey. Wynne, weak and bedridden with a fever, simply didn't have the strength to fight her off.

For five straight days, Margaret had free rein over the baby.

When Winona finally returned, she was stunned to find Margaret comfortably installed in her home. She couldn't believe the woman had the audacity to step foot in her house again after Winona had literally called the cops on her last time.

Noticing Winona's icy glare, Margaret blatantly ignored her.
