Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 918

Nolan glanced at the little munchkin, who was quite adorable, and bore a striking resemblance to Parker.

Ashton, on the other hand, was wearing a grim expression. The usually tough guy softened his tone for once, addressing Cherry, "Hey, no tears now! I'll take you to your Mr. Doonan right away." "It's Daddy Parker!" Cherry pouted, correcting him as she tugged on the man's arm, "Mr. Fuller, let's hurry then. Leave this big-eyed uncle here to chill in the breeze!" Nolan: ...

First meeting, alright, I'll play the polite uncle.

Nolan reined in his temper, managing to pull off a somewhat friendly smile, "I won't hold it against you, kiddo. Whitney asked me to help, and I know where your Mr. Doonan lives." "Oh! Mr. Nolan, I actually know you, you're so cool! Please carry me to daddy."

"..." Do kids these days switch faces so fast?

Nolan was both amused and exasperated, a little devil in disguise. He snatched the child from the gloomy Ashton and headed towards his flashy Lamborghini.

"Nolan, you can leave now."

Catching up with the car keys in hand, Ashton asked, "Where's Parker? He didn't go back to the Doonan family, did he? Is he at Banyan City Mansion No. 6 or his lakeside apartment?"

"The lakeside apartment. Ever since he bumped into Tiana at the Doonan Hospital and went home, he hasn't said a word. His people are worried sick about him, thinking he might be ill, and they told me in secret... What was I supposed to do?" Ashton shot him a contemptuous look, "I'll get him to talk. What else are you good for besides messing things up?"

"Ashton, you jerk!"

Cherry, secretly gripping the seat, pricked up her ears, her large eyes filled with worry for Parker and mommy. She sighed inwardly, understanding that 'daddy' and mommy haven't been in touch lately.

They broke up, or rather, they never dated to begin with.

Daddy Parker yelled at mommy, calling her child a bastard!

Cherry didn't know what that meant as she gazed at her mommy's flat belly. Was there a new baby inside? Why was it also called a 'bastard' like her?

She was deeply saddened, secretly hoping it was Daddy Parker's child.
