Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 768

"I mean, I wasn't exactly...clingy, was I?" Ludwik would never admit that his methods to win back his wife were, to put it mildly, embarrassing. He cleared his throat, "Your mom didn't seem to be annoyed or disgusted by me."

"..." You're definitely choosing to be blind now.

Sammy rolled his eyes, frustration evident in his voice, "Anyone with eyes can see she's totally fed up with you."

"No, what I see is her fear of falling for me again, so she's pushing me away on purpose." Ludwik stated with unwavering conviction.

Sammy felt like he was about to burst a blood vessel.

This was like trying to wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.

The man sighed, trying to impart some wisdom to the youngster, "Sammy, you don't understand the complexities of love and relationships yet. You're still young, and you don't know what love is all about. Honestly, daddy learned it way too late. But when I saw your mom struggling, I knew I couldn't just let go."

"Struggling?" Sammy frowned.

Ludwik looked at his son seriously. This kid was a lot sharper than Danny.

He hinted, "I know you might feel some loyalty towards Bryce.

But he's not a good man, Sammy. You have a keen eye; take a closer look. The adult world is complicated, and not all deceitful people are as easy to spot as you think."

"You think Bryce is a bad guy? That he's deceitful?" Sammy's eyebrows knitted together.

Ludwik didn't mind turning his wife and now his son against Bryce, "You're smart. Just observe, and I believe you'll see for yourself. Bad adults don't always show their true colors on their faces. Guys like your dad, who are open and straightforward, are rare." "..." Sammy was speechless.

Ludwik lowered his voice, "Your mom is the heiress to the Sheldon Group, one of the top three corporations in Emperor City. Naturally, she'll attract those wearing masks with ulterior motives.
