Chapter 305

Danny cocked an elbow and smirked, "The only person I'd ever marry is my mom!"

Whitney and Tiana exchanged helpless glances at the kids' banter.

"Boys are something else," Tiana sighed, shaking her head. "They grow up dreaming of marrying their moms. Meanwhile, Cherry, at the tender age of two, is already swooning over heartthrobs. The other day, she saw Parker on TV and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. She started shouting 'daddy' at the screen, and I had to rush to turn it off."

Whitney, while listening to Tiana's complaint, glanced over at Cherry's delicate features, a thought lingering in her mind. Could Cherry really be Barclay's child?

Upon arriving in South City, Whitney booked three rooms at the Weldon Hotel, each on a different floor, just to be on the safe side. Tiana and her daughter took one room, Whitney and her son another, but they had a plan to switch rooms with the bodyguard and the kids if anything went south.

Once they settled in, Danny snuck into the bathroom to call his buddy.

"Sammy, guess where I am?" He snapped a photo of the view from the window with his smartwatch and sent it over.

Back in his room, Sammy quickly uploaded the photo to his computer and zoomed in. The landmarks gave it away: South City!

Sammy couldn't help but chuckle, "Has your deadbeat dad never taken you out of state before? He's kept you locked up like a prisoner!"

"Well, I was sickly as a kid, and dad was just too protective, worried I couldn't handle flying," Danny offered a sheepish explanation, hoping Sammy wouldn't think less of his dad.

"Huh, guess he's not that bad then," Sammy replied, understanding Danny's intent.
