Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 261

Whitney froze.

Her son never asked about his daddy.

Was he sick this time?

But she had nothing good to say.

With a cold laugh, Whitney said, "Him? He's been dead a long time."

"..." Danny's lips twitched, not knowing what to say next, and silently mourned the man who was very much alive.

It seemed there had been a big rift between daddy and mommy! Otherwise, how did Elaine become his ‘mommy’?

Daddy’s lips were sealed tight. If he wanted to learn anything, it looked like he'd have to stay with mommy for the time being…

He also wondered how frantic Ludwik would be, searching for him tonight.

Danny felt a pang of guilt, but quickly consoled himself and fell asleep in mommy's arms.

-

Rewinding time to 8 PM at the Everwood Villa Estate.

The bodyguard brought a struggling Sammy into the living room and plunked him down on the sofa, then shut the door tightly.

Hearing the door slam, Sammy got agitated and immediately jumped up, "Who are you guys? Let me go! I need to find my mommy!"

"Little master, what's gotten into you? Have some candy first…" the maid offered some sweets.

"You bad people, why are you kidnapping me?"

Sammy flipped the candy dish, spilling it everywhere.

"Have you caused enough trouble?" Suddenly, a deep, authoritative voice rang out.

Ludwik had returned, his tall and imposing figure appearing behind his son. He surveyed Sammy, noting the boy had swapped his little suit for a tracksuit...

His brow furrowed, he picked up his son, saying angrily, "Look at what you're wearing, planning to run away?"

"Just because daddy took you out against your wishes and left you in the lounge, you throw such a tantrum!"

Ludwik was convinced his son was deliberately opposing him.

Sammy, turned around forcibly, lifted his eyes to see the man before him, and went quiet for a moment.

Then, his eyes widened in shock.

Why... why did this man look so much like himself?!

No, it was the other way around – he looked like the man! Sammy couldn't help but touch his own little face, gasping as his pupils dilated rapidly.

Soon, staring at the adult version of himself, he realized... could this be his deadbeat dad?

Despite his tender age of three and a half, Sammy had been a frequent visitor to hacker forums, searching the DNA systems for a man's face that matched his own.

He never found what daddy looked like until now. Considering the man's distinguished air and noble brow, he seemed wealthy, probably hiding his information online – tycoons did that.

So, Aunt Yael's tales of the man who mistreated mommy, he had finally found him.

Sammy clenched his little fists, overwhelmed with emotion.

"What are you daydreaming about? Are you unhappy daddy scolded you?" Ludwik let out a soft chuckle, his heart softening as he reached out to pat his son's head.

Daddy? Right, he had just been called 'little master'...

Sammy's mind raced. Could it be that this deadbeat dad had another son?

He was confused!

His priority was to get back to mommy. She had called his bracelet, probably knowing he was back in the country, and she’d be worried sick if she couldn't find him.

Pretending to be polite, Sammy said with a beaming smile, "Excuse me... daddy, I want to find my mommy. Can you kindly let me go?"

"..." Ludwik's hand froze.

Danny was never this polite in speaking to him.

His gaze sharpened as he eyed the boy, realizing something.

Ludwik's anger bubbled up, "Still sassing me? At your age, you've learned to be sarcastic. Where else would you go? This is your home! Your mommy will be back soon."

Mommy’s coming back? Sammy was taken aback...
