Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 592

Danny was visibly upset, a reaction to Whitney's suitor, Bryce, who hailed from one of Banyan City's prestigious families.

"Can you not show up at my place like it's a 24/7 diner? Haven't I made it clear? I don't welcome you here!" Danny had seen Bryce increasingly treating their home as his own.

It irked Danny, this silent rivalry. A grown man with such a vengeful streak didn't sit well with him!

Whitney was about to interject when Natalie stepped forward, breathing deeply. She affectionately patted Danny's head, "Danny, Grandma always said to treat guests with kindness and respect, especially when they're friends of your mom. Is this gentleman a friend of Whitney's?"

Bryce sized Natalie up, a flicker of depth in his gaze.

He knew exactly who the middle-aged woman before him was.

What surprised him was Natalie's warm and gracious demeanor.

o a certain extent, Natalie represented Ludwik. Her kind approach towards Whitney scored points in Whitney's eyes.

Bryce squinted with a smile, "I'm Whitney's boyfriend, her future husband."

"Not so fast!" Danny interjected.

He was aware of the media spreading rumors about his mom and some loser tying the knot. He hadn't made a fuss outwardly, but deep down, he refused to believe it.

Unless his mom confirmed it, he wouldn't accept it as the truth!

"Danny..." Whitney was overwhelmed, trying to calm her son, "Can you go play over there for now?"

Tiana quickly came over and took Danny away.

Natalie's expression shifted upon hearing Bryce's words.

The fleeting shock followed by a hint of sadness didn't escape Whitney's notice.
