Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 293

Whitney was absolutely flabbergasted. Hearing Ludwik's words, she was so infuriated she could barely contain herself, her body trembling slightly with rage. What right did this man have to influence her Sammy, telling him not to call her "mom"?

He had only been a father for mere minutes.

"Ludwik, he's my son too, and you have no right to claim him! Give him back to me!"

Her concern for her son made her lose control, her voice frail and choked with emotion.

She tried to catch Sammy's eye, hoping the little guy would understand and quickly get away from this dangerous villain.

Sammy was usually so sharp, but why wasn't he getting it now? Whitney felt like stomping her feet in frustration.

Ludwik was furious, his demeanor so threatening that Whitney could almost see "a custody battle" written all over his face.

"Whitney, your audacity is truly eye-opening. Is there anyone as heartless as you? He's your son? You've got some nerve claiming him."

"Why wouldn't I? After carrying him for nine months, we share the same blood."

Besides, she had raised him with hard work, and this man hadn't spent a day fulfilling his fatherly duties. He had even wanted to abandon the child!

He had no right to forcefully take him away.

A rush of grievances and anger welled up in her eyes, turning them red.

Seeing him firmly holding onto the child, as if to snatch him away, she lost all reason and charged forward, "Let him go, he's my child, he won't recognize you, you're not taking him away." "Irrational woman, I think you're shameless and insane," Ludwik said, lifting the child high.

In front of this towering man, Whitney seemed utterly petite.

She tried to reach for her son on her tiptoes but couldn't even come close to Ludwik's shoulder.

"You're despicable, Ludwik, snatching a child in broad daylight."

"I'll return those words to you," Ludwik retorted coldly. She had abandoned the child under a bridge three years ago.

Now, seeing him safe and sound, did she suddenly feel maternal?

This heartless woman, did she know there was another child buried deep in the cemetery, whom he dared not visit often?
