Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 786

Twenty minutes later, Whitney arrived on the scene.

It wasn't exactly pick-up time, so the crowd of parents was thin, yet the towering figures of Ludwik and Bryce standing at the nursery's main entrance were hard to miss. Especially since they looked like they were about to come to blows at any moment.

Danny and Sammy were huddled near the front office, with Natalie and a bodyguard watching over them.

Danny glared at Bryce, his little face a mirror image of Ludwik's defiance.

Sammy, on the other hand, wore a frosty expression, his brows knotted tightly.

"Ludwik, Whitney and I are married now. The custody of these kids goes to Whitney, which makes me Sammy's rightful father. I have every right to take him home.

You, without Whitney's consent, have no right to take the kids anywhere!" Bryce spat out coldly.

Ludwik sneered, "What a joke. Sammy is my and Whitney's son, not yours to claim!

Plus, the nursery records list me as the father. Whitney agreed to this when we chose this nursery for our son.

And you? What right do you have to snatch someone else's son?

So keen on playing dad, are you? I've got no interest in letting my child call someone else 'dad.'

Want a child of your own? Maybe you should've thought about that before your Audrey passed away."

Bryce's face twisted in anger at the mention of Audrey. Had Ludwik been digging into his past? Was he spreading rumors to Whitney?

But then, thinking of how Whitney had secretly acknowledged Ludwik as Sammy's father behind his back made his blood boil.

They even chose a nursery together...
