Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 923

"But don't you worry, even if you end up looking like a scarecrow, I'll take responsibility. And if I can't, I'll make my mom do it! If you turn into a bald eagle, she's not allowed to complain!" "Bald eagle?"

Parker frowned deeply as he glanced in the mirror, noticing the right side of his hairline had indeed decided to retreat... That little klutz.

Blessed with striking features and captivating eyes, a slight change in his hairline didn't bother him much. He didn't care.

"You actually want me to turn into an ugly duckling?" Parker pinched her cheek gently, "You're such a clumsy bean."

"Because if you become ugly and bald, then I can make Mom take responsibility for you..."

Cherry whispered so softly, Parker failed to catch her resigned tone.

"What happened just now? How did the hairdryer end up attacking my head?" the man handed her a fresh towel to dab at her cheeks. Cherry, her face flushed with anxiety, stammered, "It-it was an accident, I swear, Daddy, you gotta believe me!"

"Did I blame you?" Parker took her hand with his slender fingers, "Open up, let me wipe it."

"No, no... can't do!"

"What's wrong?"

Cherry, clinging tightly to strands of hair in her hand, trembled, "Because, because my fingers are clean, no need to wipe!" "I'm worried it burned you, let me check."

"No... you can't check." Her heart pounded against her chest, remembering Whitney's advice to never let the secret out. What was this attitude about?

Parker's sharp gaze fell on her little hand, "Why can't I check, what's inside?"

"Nothing! Can't I just dislike washing hands, Mr. Natalie's mom? I, I need to go out!"
