Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 630

Maurice's face collapsed in an instant, twisting into a grimace of utter distaste. He was about to say something more when the sudden ring of his cell phone shattered the tense silence.

Without a word, Maurice killed the call and pulled Marguerite close, his voice a threatening whisper, "Listen up, Marguerite, play nice. Once I've wrapped up my business, we're getting hitched."

The mention of marriage made Marguerite's head spin. "If you're so desperate to tie the knot, how about I set you up with a profile on Cupid's Connection?"

Maurice's stare was dark and ominous, and it seemed like an argument was about to erupt when Robert stepped in to defuse the situation. "Maurice, you're here on business, right? It's getting late. I'll drop Marguerite and Miley off at the office so you can carry on without delay."

At that moment, the hotel valet, following Robert's earlier instructions, pulled up with the car they had left outside Bluebell Bistro the previous night.

Miley, sensing an opportunity, nudged Marguerite towards the exit, "Right, right, right, it's time for work. We can talk about this at home later! Marguerite, you have a factory visit today, right? Let's not keep them waiting!"

Maurice's phone rang again, and this time, he didn't answer or dismiss it. He nodded at Robert and watched the trio leave before picking up the call.

In the car, Miley looked at Marguerite with curiosity, "How come Maurice is even here?"
