Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 883

Parker's warmth vanished!

In the hospital room, Tiana was fuming at the unwelcome appearance of Barclay, who suddenly showed up to confront her. With Whitney not around, she felt cornered and alone. Barclay rambled on, making no sense, and eventually dragged her to the balcony directly opposite the door. He insulted her while getting uncomfortably close.

Now, he was spouting complete nonsense.

She looked up, startled and coldly said, "What the hell are you talking about? What does my pregnancy have to do with you? What do you mean, 'our child'?"

Her voice was low, choked with emotion. She wanted to say more, but Barclay disgustingly pulled her into his embrace, silencing her protests.

She tried to struggle, but Barclay held her head down firmly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Parker at the door. Endora had timed it perfectly!

It was his cue to act.

Barclay sneered, tightening his grip around Tiana's waist, pretending to caress her while raising his voice, "Tiana, why didn't you resist when we were together, huh? You're carrying our child now; stop pretending we're strangers."

"Who's having your child… Get lost, ugh…" Tiana, losing her temper, fought Barclay fiercely.

Barclay's arm caught her bite, and in response, he pushed her hard.

Tiana was thrown back, right towards the balcony's glass door, with the railing hitting her waist sharply.

"Ah!" She crashed into it.

At that moment, despite not having decided whether she wanted the child, she instinctively covered her abdomen.

Her face turned pale!

However, instead of the anticipated pain, she fell against a solid, muscular body. The man's tall and lean figure held her, almost crushing her shoulders, yet his palms burned her skin with their heat.

The familiar scent in his breath was intoxicating…

Tiana's mind exploded with realization, and she turned around in panic—

Suddenly, she saw Parker's expressionless face, his sharp features framed by glasses that hid his eyes, only reflecting a cold light.

She shivered, instinctively murmuring, "Parker?"

"Hmph." Parker's lips curled into a cold smirk. He glanced at her fragile and slender figure, wanting neither to look at her nor to speak.

His warmth turned to cold indifference, everything seemed tasteless. It felt like his heart was being crushed, the pain and humiliation beyond words.

"Get away, you're dirty."

His instinct had been to protect her, but now he coldly pushed her away.

He was furious! If the child was indeed Barclay's, he would hate her, never forgiving her.

Tiana, hearing his harsh words, stiffened, her face turning ashen.

She bit her lip, stepping away from him.

Parker's gaze then shifted to Barclay.

Barclay was slightly shorter, lacking in presence, but his eyes mocked with a smirk, laced with malice, "Little brother, what's this about? You knew Tiana was pregnant and came to check on her?"

Parker felt a chill all over.

Tiana exploded, "Barclay, shut up! I have nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself; the child isn't yours!"

A flicker of hope sparked in Parker's dark eyes.

He turned sharply towards the slender woman, her long curly hair disheveled, her round eyes red and fierce, resembling a harmless lioness despising Barclay.

Could she really have anything to do with Barclay and be carrying his child?

Parker faced Barclay, his gaze piercing, "Big brother, you claim it's your child, but she denies it. Where's your proof?"

"Tiana is just scared. She won't admit it! She looks down on me, but it doesn't matter; she enjoyed our time together."

"Barclay, you've come here spreading lies. What's your real purpose?"

Tiana was on the verge of breaking down.
