Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 827

But he was the picture of cool, a sly smirk playing on his lips as he glanced at her. His voice was steady, "I'm going down to find Cherry."

Huh? Tiana's mind was a whirlwind of confusion until she realized her daughter wasn't even in bed!

After he left, she quickly jumped out of bed and headed to the wardrobe to get dressed.

The wardrobe was next to the window, and just as Tiana opened one of its doors, she heard a tiny whimper coming from the window sill, "Mommy... you pinched my finger! Oww..." "Cherry?" Tiana was taken aback, shocked, she quickly shut the wardrobe door.

"It hurts so much." The little voice clearly came from outside the window.

"Cherry! Where are you hiding?" Tiana, fuming, yanked the window open to look outside.

There she was, the little tyke boldly perched on the sill, her small body trembling precariously.

Tiana was terrified!

"What are you doing out there? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

This was the second floor, for heaven's sake. She quickly pulled her child inside.

"Oww, it's so cold." Cherry had been out in the chilly air for a while, her little face quivering. Back in her mom's arms, she snuggled close like a little quail, knowing she did something wrong but unwilling to admit it. Quickly finding an excuse, she sighed, "Tiana, why can't you play along?

I even hid myself so you and Daddy Parker could be alone, thinking it would give you a chance to fall in love.

It's for my own good, you know. I did it so I could have a dad, so I wouldn't be teased at kindergarten like Danny and Sammy, called a fatherless child!"

Tiana's face went stone cold.

She finally understood the evening's events.

The mastermind behind all this was her own daughter, who lured Parker up and then hid!
