<b>Chapter </b>315
Fredenck’s gaze was nk and unfamiliar, not even ncing towards Marguerite.
Behind Maurice’s sses were cold eyes, yet theers of <b>his </b>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 <b>in </b>a different world. The tension that had just been present seemed to be nothing more than a figment of Marguerite’s imagination.
Marguente realized thatpared 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 <b>she </b>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.
Maunce 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, sp?ring Marguerite a nce, “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 <b>says </b>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 Maldivesst 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 <b>ear</b>, and his eyes were filled with affection.
“Your hair’s gotten long Isn’t it getting in your eyes?*
Yuna 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 d that during Frederick’s time away, he had thepany of Yuma and Jocelyn. But her heart hurt so
much at that moment
She hastily withdrew her gaze, lowered her <b>eyes</b>, 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, “<b>If </b>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.
ecessary don’t like owing anyone anything, especially you. This sentence came from Fredenck
