Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 827

The lively atmosphere in the room suddenly quieted down. Penelope and Jocelyn exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

The passing of Frederick and Teresa had hit Marguerite hard, so they rarely spoke about them at home.

But today, Marguerite didn’t show any signs of sadness. She took the princess dress from Miley’s hands with a small smile and said, “Let me put it away for her.”

Miley grinned, “Teresa was always bugging me to buy her a princess dress. When I saw one while shopping the other day, I just instinctively picked it up for her.”

Teresa had always been crazy about dressing up, and her closet was filled with costumes. There were outfits for Spider-Man, Black Widow, Elsa, Sleeping Beauty...

But she never got her favorite Snow White costume.

Marguerite felt a little pang in her heart but didn’t want to dampen the mood. She turned to Miley with an open hand and asked, “Where’s my gift?”

Miley glanced over at Penelope and Jocelyn, then exchanged a look with Robert. Finally, she put on a mischievous grin and wrapped an arm around Marguerite’s shoulders. “I got you something really special.”

Marguerite looked puzzled. “What did you do?”

Miley was always full of surprises. “I found a fortune teller and had your fortune read.”

Marguerite blinked. “Really? You?”

“Yep! And the fortune teller said you’re in for a lot of romance, but with the wrong kind of people. So, we paid to have a little ritual done to turn those bad romances into good ones. After the ritual, he told us to tell you not to worry. He said some people and things are already on their way to you.”

Marguerite just stared. “Seriously?”
