Bride Behind The Mask

Chapter 319

Yuna reluctantly let go of bom, and he immediately dashed off towards Frederick and Jocelyn

Fresdelck reached out to embrace him, but Hayes eyes were filled with hurt and resentment. He slipped past Frederick and hid behind Jocelyn.

“Jovelyn, dom) defend him Yuna was furious. She pointed at Hayes and shouted, “It’s snowing outside, and you let your grandma search for you in the cold How could you be so cruel? It’s all because of you”

Hayes felt quilty His small arms were tightly wrapped around Jocelyn’s leg, his tiny body shivering uncontrollably

Daddy and Mommy didn’t love him, but Grandma did

Whenevet meniny would hit him, it was always Grandma who protected him.

by a panic, Yuna pulled a stick out from the coffee table drawer, her voice rising. “Hayes, get out here right now. You have to apologize to everyone today” Hayes was temfied, tears welling up in his eyes.

Jocelyn immediately turned around to shield him, “Don’t be scared, Hayes. I’ll protect you.”

Frederick, who was standing nearby, couldn’t stand it any longer. His eyes filled with revulsion as he glared at Yuna, his voice filled with authority. “You want to hit Jum again? Stop it

Freddie, you are spotting him. I can’t go easy on him.”

You’ve never hit Manley”

“Because Manley is more obedient than him”

Yona’s blatant favontism filled Frederick with disgust. Before, she had only shown her favoritism in private, and he had always turned a blind eye to it. When the children were hom, Manley was much weaker than Hayes. The doctor explained that the two children were competing for nutrition in the womb, which resulted in Manley’s frailness

As such Yuna was more concerned about Manley than Hayes. Frederick didn’t say much about it. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

The maternal love that Hayes was lacking from Yuna, he, as a father, compensated for it doubly. Yet, Yuna was becoming more and more overbearing She even showed her favoritism in front of Hayes

How could he tolerate it?

Frederick gave Yuna one last menacing glare

He then turned around, lifted Hayes into his arms, and gave Yuna a warning. “I was too busy with work and neglected my duty to discipline our children. From now on, Hayes is my responsibility. You stay out of it.”

He then carried Hayes straight to his study Hayes was still crying, but his tears had dried up. His little shoulders were shaking, and he was gasping for breath. But he was sensible enough to use his little hand to pat his chest, repeatedly telling himself in his heart, “I can’t cry! I can’t cry! Daddy doesn’t like children who cry”

Frederick seated Hayes on his office chair and then took out a state from his bookshelf.

The slate was filled with writings. Some were childish, others were powerful

It was a tool for father and son to communicate.

Frederick took out a chalk and knelt on one knee so he was at eye level with Hayes. His tone was gentle, ‘Hayes, why did you hide? Winte it down and tell Daddy”

Hayes held the chalk in his hand and said nothing Even though he had comforted himself hundreds of times in his heart, telling himself not to cry, he couldn’t help

but shed tears.

“Hayes?” Frederick rubbed the top of his head. “Be a good boy”

Suddenly, Hayes put down the chalk, turned his head, and looked at Frederick

His round eyes were filled with unshed tears. His small hand tentatively cupped Frederick’s face

Thinking about what Yuna had said to Manley earlier, Hayes‘ emotions were on the verge of spilling over

Frederick could sense the turmoil in his son’s emotions. He knew that Hayes wanted to cry, but was holding it in.

His little face was flushed red. He whimpered a few times but quickly swallowed his cres.

Frederick gently wiped away the tears that had gathered in Hayes‘ eyes and softly said, “If you want to cry, let it out Daddy will wait for you”

But, Hayes didn’t cry He forced himself to hold it back, but the overwhelming feeling of injustice made him open his mouth

Then, his eyes widened again, filled with sincenty and hurt, he asked a question that took Frederick by surprise. “Daddy, do you love me?”
