Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 823

"Daddy Parker, don't you just love BBQ ribs? I knew you were coming, so I had Nanny make some especially for you!"

Cherry was only a little over two years old, but she was precociously smart, both verbally and in her motor skills. Right now, she was using her tiny hands to clumsily grasp a large fork, climbing on the table trying her best to pick up a rib to place it in Parker's plate. This made Tiana, who had just thrown a plate down for Parker, quite jealous.

This little ingrate, barely learned how to use a fork and when has she ever tried to serve ribs to her mommy?

Please, she loved ribs too, okay?

"And this duck soup, daddy, you must try it too. I'll get you a big duck leg!"

"And there's also these little dough balls..."

Tiana: ......

"Enough!" Jealousy twisted her features as she walked over, lifting the little girl who had almost made it to the center of the table, "Are you trying to stuff him to death? Giving him all the meat, what about mommy?"

"You should eat less meat! You can't get any fatter, mommy begs you to be a bit more self-aware."

Cherry pouted, mercilessly scolding.

......

Parker's frameless glasses nearly slipped off his nose from laughter, his eyes sparkling mischievously as he glanced at Tiana's figure, curvaceous and voluptuous... Huh? What was he looking at?

The man quickly coughed, hiding his thoughts as he picked up a fork, "Let's get our little princess Cherry some of this duck soup. Can she handle noodles?"

"No, she's not quite good at slurping yet, might choke," Tiana shook her head, stopping his fork in its tracks.

Instead, she prepared a child-friendly bowl for Cherry, pouring some soup and adding in some specially prepared food by Nanny.

Watching her skillful and attentive actions, Tiana, usually so carefree, transformed into a tender mother, her affectionate gaze softening as she looked at her daughter.

For the first time, Parker noticed that Tiana, as a mother, exuded a certain feminine charm.
