Bride Behind the Mask 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?
