Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 700

"Uncle, please don't be hard on Whitney. The Sheldon Group has just stabilized, and it's natural she's tied up with work.

I'll take care of the kids at home. As long as Sammy and Danny are okay with me around, I'm happy."

He spoke with a humility and gentleness that was touching.

Whitney watched him silently, making a silent vow in her heart to really make things work with him.

Bryce then glanced at Whitney, who was holding Cherry, a shadow passing through his eyes before he casually asked, "How come Cherry's here? Isn't Ms. Melford supposed to be with her?" "She sent me a text out of the blue, said she had to go to the brick factory to follow up on a lead about Parker.

But that's not what she told me this afternoon..."

Bryce's expression shifted subtly, trying not to seem too concerned, "What did Ms. Melford tell you this afternoon?"

"Nothing much." It was a private matter between sisters, and Whitney didn't pry.

Bryce, realizing Tiana hadn't had the chance to talk, let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief, "Well, she's got her things to attend to, and we're here for Cherry, right?"

Whitney frowned slightly, "She left so suddenly, I'm worried. I tried calling her, but couldn't get through.

Bryce, I have no idea where this brick factory is, could you help me find it?"

He couldn't let Whitney go chasing after the brick factory now!

Bryce squinted, his voice laced with resignation, "Whitney, I think you're worrying too much.

Ms. Melford's an adult. She steps out and you get this anxious? It's not like her!

Chasing down Mr. Doonan's trail is crucial. I think you might be holding her back instead.

Since she texted you, just wait a bit, she might come back once she's found him.

Look, Cherry's hungry, let's go have dinner!"

Hesitantly, Whitney agreed, and Bryce, carrying Cherry, nudged her towards the dining table.

"I'll try calling her again tomorrow.
