Chapter 419
Maurice immediately let go of Marguerite, straightened his disheveled suit, shot her a glance, and then turned around and walked away without al second look.
Hidden by the doorway, little Teresa ran into the kitchen and tightly embraced Marguerite.
“Mommy, are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did daddy hit you? Are you in pain?”
Her chubby little hands kept cleaning the tears that fell from her worried eyes.
“Mommy, don’t worry, I will protect you! If daddy bullies you again, just shout my name! I’ll come running right away!” Teresa suddenly thought of making amends with Frederick, because only by reconciling with him could she help bring him and her mother together.
Once they were together, Hayes’ daddy could protect her mother.
But now, she was on winter break and her mother kept a close watch on her, she couldn’t even step out of the house, how could she meet Hayes’ daddy?
Marguerite squatted down and held Teresa in her arms, softly saying, “Sweetie, mommy is fine. Your daddy and I were just arguing, not fighting.”
Teresa, however, held Marguerite’s face in her hands, pressed her forehead against her mother’s and pleaded, “Mommy, why don’t you and daddy separate? You’re not even married. I don’t think you’re happy with him. Don’t worry, mommy. If you split up, I’ll choose to stay with you. Can you please leave him?”
Teresa’s maturity took Marguerite by surprise. She always wanted to create a carefree environment for Teresa, where she could grow up without any worries. But when Teresa occasionally showed a maturity
beyond her years, Marguerite’s heart ached incredibly.
She was suggesting that her mother should separate from Maurice, saying that he couldn’t make her happy. How could a three-year-old child speak such words?
Yet, she couldn’t leave Maurice. Teresa needed a father, and the whereabouts of her son were still controlled by Maurice.
As Marguerite thought about this, she pulled Teresa closer into her arms, “Sweetheart, you’re overthinking. I’m already very happy with you in my life. I don’t want you to grow up without a father.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Teresa blinked her eyes.
If mommy separated from Daddy Maurice, she could be with Hayes’ daddy! And Hayes’ daddy was her real father!
“Mommy, I won’t be without a father! You just need to separate from Daddy Maurice, then you can…” Before she could finish her sentence, Marguerite quickly covered her mouth.
She gave Teresa a look and shook her head, signaling that someone was behind them.
Teresa was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Maurice standing at the door with an emotionless expression.
She immediately shielded Marguerite behind her and shouted, “Daddy, you are bad! You’re not allowed to bully mommy!”
Seeing Teresa, the anger within Maurice subsided a bit. He stepped forward, bent down, and picked Teresa up in one arm and said, “How could I bear to bully your mom? I love her so much!”
Marguerite was disgusted by Maurice once again.
Knowing that Marguerite wouldn’t retaliate in front of their child, he deliberately provoked her.
Of course, Marguerite was angry, but she didn’t respond.
Instead, Maurice turned to Marguerite and ordered, “Pack your things. We’re going back to the Winston Mansion. My father is seriously ill and he needs our company during the holiday season.”
“Powell was ill? If Maurice was going back, would Frederick also return?” Marguerite thought so.
