Bride Behind The Mask Novel by Frederick
Chapter 328

Chapter 328

The following day, outside the gates of the prestigious Royal Elite Kindergarten.

It was the end of the school day, and throngs of people clustered around the entrance.

A parade of luxury vehicles lined the narrow roads, bringing traffic to a standstill.

From inside his Rolls Royce, Chuck pointed out the window. “Mr. Winston, see the young girl who just said goodbye to the young master? Her name is Teresa.”

Frederick looked out the window to see a young girl named Teresa flanked by two boys. One held her backpack, the other her chocolate milkshake.

The little girl strutted with her chin held high. A mix of adorable and assertive, she walked with an air of authority.

Once Hayes got into the car and settled down, Chuck asked, “Young Master, is that Teresa, the one who is nice to you?”

Hayes watched Teresa through the window, his eyes positively glowing. He eagerly nodded his head, to which Chuck chuckled, “This little one looks like a lioness not to be trifled with.”

Upon hearing this, Hayes instantly frowned. His Teresa was not a lioness! His eyes widened, and his cheeks puffed up in displeasure. Seeing this, Chuck quickly closed his mouth.

Frederick lovingly patted his son’s hand, his voice soft and gentle, “Hayes, how about we invite Teresa over to play? Would you like that?”

At this suggestion, Hayes‘ eyes lit up with excitement. He nodded eagerly, thrilled at the idea.

Immediately, Frederick stepped out of the car, his imposing presence drawing all eyes as he approached

Teresa.

Hayes peered out the window in anticipation, his heart pounding in his chest. He worried his father’s commanding presence might scare Teresa…

Meanwhile, Teresa, who had yet to leave school, was engrossed in her phone.

She received a text from Marguerite, saying there was a traffic jam and suggested she wait in the school office. As she walked and texted, she suddenly bumped into a soft “wall.”

Ouch! Rubbing her forehead, Teresa looked up in annoyance, only to freeze in place.

What on earth?!

The handsome man standing before her, a distinguishing mole near his eye, wasn’t he the man she had been drawing?

She hadn’t made a mistake! There really was such a man in the world!

But… was he really her father?

Teresa stared at the man, her eyes not leaving his face for a moment. He then crouched down to her level.

Teresa, I’m Hayes dad. Hayes would like to invite you over to our house, would you like that?”

Teresa’s round eyes were filled with surprise and she couldn’t speak.

Teresa? How old are you?

Not taking her eyes off Frederick, she swallowed hard. Three

“And do you want to come over to play?”

Teresa blinked. Her mom had told her not to go anywhere with strangers, but she didn’t think this man was a stranger! He was Hayes‘ father, and the man from her drawings.

Ever since she drew him, she would look at the picture every night.

She knew his features by heart and had imagined his personality and temperament a hundred times.

Eagerly, Teresa nodded, her excitement palpable. “Yes! I’d love to!”

Seeing her enthusiasm, Frederick couldn’t help but smile.

Her eager nodding mirrored Hayes‘ earlier nod, and this uncanny similarity made him feel a strange sense of familiarity and fondness towards Teresa.

Teresa quickly grabbed her bag and shake from her two bodyguards, then texted her mom telling her she was going to a friend’s house and would be home latWithout waiting for her mom’s reply, she carefully held Frederick’s hand, looked up at him with eager eyes, and happily followed him away.
