Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1242

Shane rushed back home, looking like he’d just jumped off a red-eye flight, with Sandy and Tina in tow.

Before Sandy could even catch her breath, he was already ushering her through the front door.

She heard his deep, serious opener and instinctively frowned, her heart pounding. She gave a gentle tug on his arm, trying to slow him down.

“Mr. Nelson, you can’t just tell your parents that… it’s not right.”

Marriage? Really?

She understood what he was getting at, but saying it out loud like that was just asking for misunderstandings.

Shane’s thick brows lifted as he looked at her, his voice low and rough. “No matter how I introduce you, I have to mention who you are. Honestly, this is what I want, and my parents need to know the truth about you.”

He lowered his tone a little, trying to reassure her. “Whether you agree or not, we can talk about that later. Just leave today’s situation to me, okay?”

He shot a glance upstairs, figuring his mom must be up there if she wasn’t in the living room. But suddenly, noisy voices and crying came from the guest room off the hall.

“Is there someone else here?” Shane muttered, frowning. Sounded like more than one person.

He immediately thought of Whitney’s warning. His eyes, deep and dark, flicked toward the guest room as he started to stride over.

That’s when Mrs. Nelson and Gary stepped out, just as the guest room door swung open, and the crying inside became even louder and more familiar.

“Who’s in there?” Shane’s handsome face turned cold. “Don’t tell me it’s—”

Before he could finish, Gary’s stern voice thundered, “You finally decided to come home? After causing such a mess, Shane, don’t you dare walk away!”
