Chapter 278
Zoe froze on the spot, taking a moment to process what she had just heard.
The call was from Chuck? And he was nning to rent out the entire restaurant to confess his feelings
to someone?
But Zoo remembered what she had heard from Hammond; Chuck was a bachelor who had little
interest in women. How could it be possible for him to make such a grond gesture?
Did that mean the person who was doing it would be…
The mere thought made Zoe feel deliriously happy. As soon as the cashier hung up the phone, she
quickly paid her bill and rushed back to Yuna.
“Yunal Great news! Mr. Winston is going to confess his feelings for you in four days! I overheard Chuck
making a call to the cashier. Mr. Winston has booked the entire restaurant for you, and they’ll be setting
up the ce in the next couple of days!”
Yuna’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really?”
“Of course! I heard it with my own ears, how could it be false? I knew it was a good thing when Laverne
passed away! It has elerated your progress with Mr Winston!”
Zoe and Yuna lightly embraced each other in shared excitement. But what Zoe didn’t see was the
manic happiness and arrogance in Yuna’s eyes, and the hair she had anxiously pulled from her scalp
clutched tightly in her fist
For the next three days, Marguente was kept busy at the funeral home, with Frederick apanying
her every step of the way.
After putting Marguente to bedte at night, Frederick would then go to the Bluebell Bistro to personally
set up the ce with Chuck, often working till the early hours of the morning
Today was thest day.
Once Marguerite’s grandmother wasid to rest tomorrow, Frederick would bring her to the venue in
the evening and candidly express his feelings for her Surrounded by roses and tulips, Frederick was
growing increasingly nervous. He had never confessed his feelings to anyone before, and all of this
waspletely
new to him
He was afraid that Marguerite wouldn’t like it, and also worried that she would think the setup was too
cheesy. All of this made his heart flutter nervously.
At that moment, Chuck was adjusting the lights. With a press of a button, the entire restaurant was
adorned with clusters of starlight, creating a high–ss and dazzling atmosphere.
Even Chuck was surprised to see this romantic side of Mr. Winston
“Mr. Winston, don’t worry. I’ve looked through many stage designs and wedding ceremonies, both
domestic and international, and none of them are as beautiful as this. I know Marguerite will love it.”
Frederick didn’t respond to Chuck’s words, and Chuck asked, “Mr. Winston, have you thought about
what you’re going to say to Marguente tomorrow?”
Frederick finally looked up
What was he going to say to her?
He hadn’t thought about that. Between the funeral home and nning this grand gesture, he hadn’t
had time to think about it
Frederick’s expression was slightly guilty, as if he felt he hadn’t done enough for Marguerite.
Chuck caught on to this and said, “It’s normal for you not to know, after all, you’ve never been in love!
But I’ve read romance novels! I know exactly how to confess
to a woman!
You should say something like, Marguerite, I love you. My love for you is as constant as the transition
from night to dawn, from dusk to the four seasons. It’s evesting”
Fredenck’s expression became strange, and he scratched his nose awkwardly. “That sounds a bit
cheesy. She doesn’t seem like the kind of woman who likes to hear those kinds of words.”
“Mr. Winston, it’s your sincerity that counts. Marguerite will love it.”
Chuck was certain of this Overjoyed, he suddenly asked, “But Mr. Winston, have you thought about
how to deal with the baby she’s carrying? Don’t tell me you’re not bothered.”
Seeing Fredenck’s face slowly harden, Chuck quickly cut himself off.
7’m sorry, Mr. Winston I shouldn’t have dampened your mood.”
To his surprise, Frederick’s mood was unusually good, “I don’t mind. After today I will thoroughly
investigate who hurt Marguerite. He must give her an exnation” Hearing Frederick’s words, Chuck
breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Mr, Winston loved Marguerite more than he had let on. He had epted everything
about her, the good and the bad, and taken it all in his stride. Chuck admired Mr. Winston’s love for
Marguerite and hoped that the two of them could face the future together
As they finished their final checks and prepared to leave the restaurant, Jocelyn was standing by the
door, looking at them with a stein expression
Frederick hadn’t expected Jocelyn to find this ce,
He knew his mother had always dicapproved of his rtionship with Marguerite, so he hadn’t
mentioned a word about his ns of proposing to her
As Jocelyn walked into the restaurant, flicked on the lights and looked around, she didn’t seem
surprised it was as if she had anticipated every move Frederick had made.
But Frederick didn’t give Jocelyn the chance to speak He blurted out, “Mom, I know you were trying to
convince Marguerite to break up with me. But now you see my decision. I know you might not be
happy, but I hope you’ll support me.”
Jocelyn tumed round to face him Her face was stern, radiating displeasure. “So, knowing It would upset
me, you still went ahead anyway? Couldn’t you have discussed such a major decision with me?”
He had expected his mother’s reaction. Even if she chose not to support him, he’d still go ahead with
his n. But herck of support was a blow to him. After all, she was his only family.
If you had talked to me about it, I could have given you a woman’s perspective on what you were doing
right or what you were doing wrong. Look at this ce, filled with flowers and crystal decorations
Marguerite might find it extravagant.”
Frederick blinked in surprise. How quickly Jocelyn had changed her tone
Hadn’t she been upset just moments ago?
Jocelyn looked at him with a knowing, motherly gaze “If you’re going all out for tonight, I wonder what
you’ll do for the wedding if you botch it, Marguerite might be disappointed”
Frederick was still struggling to believe it “Mom, does this mean you support me?”
Jocelynughed warmly. “I didn’t support you before, but the more I’ve gotten to know Marguerite, the
more I like her.”
Frederick’s chest heaved with excitement as he wrapped Jocelyn in a hug
He was a grown man, but at that moment, he was as happy as a child, “Mom, thank you”
Jocelyn yfully ruffled Frederick’s hair. “But Frederick, have you even hinted at your n to
Marguerite? If she says no, what will you do?”
Frederick released Jocelyn, his face falling again. “Yeah, what if she doesn’t agree…”
His reaction surprised Jocelyn.
Her parenting approach had always been to encourage Frederick. Even when he made mistakes as a
child, she never shouted or hit him. Instead, she encouraged him when he did well and guided him
when he faltered.
Jocelyn often told Frederick that he was a gift to the world, chosen by God.
So, even when they faced hardships, Frederick would always remind himself, “To whom much is given,
much is tested.”

I was safe to say that Jocelyn’s parenting had yed a significant role in shaping the man Frederick
had be.
lo, she was taken aback to see her son, who was usually so resilient, falter over a joke.
Jon’t worry, you are rich and handsome, who wouldn’t fall for you?”
Marguerite isn’t like that. But right now, I wish she were superficial. At least then I’d know where I
stand.”
acelyn smiled gently. Remembering Marguerite’s behavior in recent times, she couldn’t be more certain
of the girl’s feelings for Fredenck
he two youngsters had always been running towards each other, just not knowing it
scelyn leaned against Frederick’s shoulder, her arm draped around his back, patting him reassuringly.
“Don’t worry, Marguerite will say yes”
