Chapter 315
Fredenck’s gaze was blank and unfamiliar, not even glancing towards Marguerite.
Behind Maurice’s glasses were cold eyes, yet the comers of his mouth curled upwards into a smile that seemed
harmless yet dangerous
Not only that, he extended hands to hug Frederick, asking, “When did you get back?”
Frederick replied with a chuckle, “About a fortnight ago.”
The casual conversation between the brothers made Marguente feel as if she was in a different world. The tension
that had just been present seemed to be nothing more than a figment of Marguerite’s imagination.
Marguente realized that compared to the two men before her, she was still a novice. She couldn’t pretend to be
oblivious under such circumstances.
The moment she saw Frederick, she became so nervous that she couldn’t breathe.
Therefore, the one who was unable to move on was always herself. The man she had once hurt had long started a
new life. Only she remained stuck in the past.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaunce gently massaged Marguente’s shoulder, smiling blissfully.
“My daughter has been eyeing this bracelet for a long time, and she asked me to bid for it. Frederick, I heard that
you and Yuna have two sons, so you must understand my concerns as a father.”
Frederick, ignoring Marguerite, carried on the conversation with Maurice, “I do, but this bracelet isn’t what I want.”
“What?”
Robert stepped forward, spåring Marguerite a glance, “It’s for me”
Maunce seemed to know everything. “Does it have something to do with your sister?”
Robert nodded. “The bracelet is a keepsake I gave to her when she was born. Only by getting this bracelet can I get
the seller’s information from the organizer As you all know, our family has been looking for her for over two
decades.”
Marguente was taken aback. She had no idea that Robert had a sister. And from his story, it seemed that his sister
had been missing for over two decades.
Somehow, she thought of her son who was lost three years ago, and naturally felt a sense of connection with
Robert. Marguente looked up, saying softly. Then you take it.”
Robert looked at Marguente, then at Frederick, momentarily at a loss for words.
Maunce, however held Marguerite even tighter, “Since Marguente says so, I agree. But my daughter will probably
be disappointed. I have to think of a way to make it up to her.”
He cast his gaze towards Marguerite, thought for a moment, and said, “Marguerite, do you remember she
mentioned wanting to go to the Maldives last time? Why dont we take her there when we get a chance?”
Marguerite’s attention was entirely on Frederick, but she dared not meet Frederick’s eyes, her gaze lingering on the
hand he held Yuna’s with
“Marguente?”
Marguente turned to look at Maurice, “OK”
He nodded contentedly, but Marguerite was far from calm
She summoned the courage to look at Frederick, scrutinizing his current expression. But his indifferent gaze gave
no clue. Next, she saw him tum his head, gently tucking a stray lock of Yuna’s hair behind her ear, and his eyes
were filled with affection.
“Your hair’s gotten long Isn’t it getting in your eyes?*
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYuna brushed her bangs aside, her voice soft, “Yes. I’ll have Jocelyn take me for a haircut tomorrow”
Jocelyn was back too? How wonderful! Marguerite was glad that during Frederick’s time away, he had the company
of Yuma and Jocelyn. But her heart hurt so
much at that moment
She hastily withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and let out a sigh, “Let’s go”
After bidding everyone farewell, Maurice slowly led Marguerite away
Marguerite felt as if her soul was being ripped from her body She was upset and followed Maurice out like a walking
corpse
Robert’s voice came at that moment, “Marguerite, wait!”
Marguente stiffened instantly. She turned her head, hearing Robert continue, “If your daughter really likes this
bracelet, I can have a replica made for her
There’s no need, Maurice quickly declined on Marguerite’s behalf.
