Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 837

Hayes took a quick glance at the shelf, his tiny finger pointing to a royal blue scarf with a yellow trim. "That one looks nice," he said in his sweet little voice.

Silas turned to the elderly woman behind the counter. "We'll take this one, please."

"Sure thing!" she replied with a warm smile.

The old lady lovingly took the scarf down from the shelf and couldn't resist giving Hayes's cheek a gentle squeeze, showering him with compliments about his impeccable taste for someone so young.

On that entire shelf, the royal blue scarf was the priciest and the hardest to sell. She hadn’t expected to sell it so quickly after setting up shop. Today was definitely her lucky day!

Her face lit up with a smile, her wrinkles resembling gentle carvings, emanating warmth and kindness. She held the scarf up to Marguerite's neck, ready to tie it, but paused. Looking at Silas, she suggested, "Young man, why don't you try tying it?"

Silas hesitated. "I don’t know how."

The lady patted his shoulder, "I'll show you! Come on, put the little one down. Every husband should know how to tie a scarf for his wife, just like women tie ties for their men!"

Marguerite's expression was a mix of surprise and mild panic. Out of nowhere, she found herself with a husband, and now there was talk of Silas tying a scarf for her. She felt the need to stop this intimate gesture, but before she could speak, it was too late.

Silas's long arms were already reaching around her neck, gently placing the scarf around it, readying to tie a knot with the old lady's guidance. Manual tasks like this were tricky for him, and given Marguerite was quite a bit shorter than Silas, he had to bend down, tilting his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on her neck.
