Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 964

Winston was eager to meet Cherry, and Parker was determined to take the child away.

Tiana was nervous.

At that moment, Parker's gaze, deep and penetrating, swept over Tiana's pale face. He knew what she was thinking-resisting, fearing he would take Cherry away. Maybe...

Crafting his strategy, Parker's deep voice suddenly softened, "True, the Doonan family has excellent medical facilities, better suited for Cherry's recovery. Let's proceed with the discharge!"

"But Parker... I want the child to stay in the hospital, to be with her grandfather!" Tiana protested.

Parker's gaze darkened slightly, showing his dilemma. "Tiana, as you've seen, my father is pressing me. His commands cannot be defied.

Actually, coming back to the Doonan family with me to explain directly to the old man might be better. That way, you won't have to be separated from Cherry."

"...I won't go." Tiana refused without hesitation.

Following him to the Doonan family, what was she thinking? She lowered her gaze.

Cherry, however, was curious about her daddy's home and wanted to meet her biological grandfather!

But if mommy wouldn't go, she felt disheartened, "Mommy, I kind of want to visit the Doonan Mansion... but of course, if you don't go, I won't either! Then I'd be going against daddy and Winston's wishes. I wonder if Grandpa Winston would dislike me for that?" Tiana clenched her clothes, glaring at her cunning little ally.

Parker, slightly amused, realized that on their first day of acknowledgment, his daughter was already siding with him.

Feeling a bit proud, he also looked tenderly at Tiana, his voice even more persuasive, "Come with me to the Doonan Mansion. You know the hospital conditions can't compare to the Doonan Mansion, right?

And what about safety?

You're aware that the Endora family hasn't been apprehended yet. After the recent kidnapping, you wouldn't want any more incidents, would you?"
