Why on earth did Frederick show up here?
Could it be that his apartment downstairs didn’t have a balcony, so he came up here to
smoke?
Marguerite was embarrassingly at a loss for words, trying to make small talk, “How did you get up here?”
Frederick was expressionless, “Yuna can’t stand the smell of smoke.”
Every word he spoke was not about loving Yuna, but every word was filled with it.
Marguerite was hurt once again. Why did he have to torture her this way?
Marguerite’s breathing became short, but she still managed to produce a strained smile, “Is she feeling better?”
Frederick nodded slightly, “Thanks to the ointment you bought.”
What on earth had she done in her past life to deserve this kind of treatment from the Winston brothers?
Damn Maurice! Just thinking about him made Marguerite’s teeth itch with anger.
But since Frederick had misunderstood, there was nothing she could argue about.
She just wanted to end the conversation as quickly as possible and then run away from his sight.
“No problem, it’s the least I could do.”
Marguerite responded mechanically, watching as Frederick exhaled smoke rings with a mysterious look in his eyes, she quickly added, “I’m going to check on the progress of the work, I’ll go first.”
Marguerite nearly fled, but Frederick’s deep, magnetic voice stopped her, “Marguerite.”
His voice was light, but it stirred up a thousand feelings in Marguerite’s heart.
She turned around stiffly, her forced smile more painful than tears, “Is there anything
else?”
Frederick stamped out his cigarette on the windowsill that had yet to be tiled, and took out a fine handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands.
Every move he made was effortlessly handsome.
He walked up to her, his sexy lips parting and closing, “Is Teresa alright?”
As soon as he mentioned Teresa’s name, Marguerite’s heart tightened, “What do you

mean?”
“Relax.”
Relax? How could she relax! It was Frederick who had told her, if Teresa got close to Hayes, he would make sure Teresa suffered!
“I’ve already told Teresa not to approach your son at school. What else do you want?”
“I take back what I said.” Frederick’s words were unexpected. Marguerite faltered, stunned. She didn’t understand what Frederick was trying to do.
Next, she saw Frederick open his mouth again, “I don’t mind Teresa interacting with Hayes. Actually, I’d like her to accompany Hayes at my place. But to avoid any misunderstandings, I need to get your agreement.”
“I disagree!” Marguerite didn’t even think before she outright refused.
“You kept her away from Hayes, and now you want her to accompany Hayes. Mr. Winston, Teresa is my precious princess, not some tool for your son’s amusement.”
With that, Marguerite turned around decisively and left.
Frederick’s gaze remained fixed on her retreating figure. Indeed, even the most patient and gentle women will get strong and unrelenting when it comes to their children.
Hidden in the shadows, Chuck saw Marguerite leave and hurried over to Frederick, concern etched on his face, “Mr. Winston, what should we do?”
Frederick’s eyebrows flicked, his eyes slightly squinted, “Wouldn’t it be simpler to approach Teresa directly?”
“You are saying… we approach Teresa instead?”
Frederick retracted his gaze, didn’t answer directly, but said, “Prepare something, I’ll pick her up after school.”
Meanwhile, at Atlas Private Hospital.
Teresa sent her and Frederick’s hair samples to the lab and then anxiously waited on a bench. She sweet–talked the nurse into promising to expedite the processing of her samples. But an hour had already passed, why were the results not out yet? Teresa had never felt more anxious!
Ten minutes later, the nurse finally came forward, holding a document with a smile on her face.
She affectionately pinched the chubby cheeks of the little girl, softly saying, “Little girl, the results are out!”
Teresa took the report impatiently, ignoring the diagrams and various incomprehensible symbols and went straight to the last line-
