Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 885

He was lying to her! He hadn't broken things off with Endora. On one hand, he couldn't let go of Endora, and on the other, he still wanted to meddle in her affairs.

Was it because of those flashes that kept crossing his mind?

But even if he knew the truth, what could he do? Leave Endora, who was infertile for life?

Tiana suddenly snapped out of it, scoffing at herself for almost being moved by his facade of deep affection.

If she couldn't even rely on Parker, the father of her child, then there was no point in revealing the truth, embarrassing everyone involved. Her dignity would be trampled, and the gossip in Banyan City would be brutal—she'd be the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.

Her parents lived in Banyan City. How would they face anyone?

The relationships between them would become irreparable.

Tiana's brief moment of reckless courage quickly receded.

The man before her had not offered a sliver of hope.

Was he hoping to keep both women in his life?

A mocking smile tugged at Tiana's lips.

"What's wrong, Tiana? I need an answer now!" Parker hadn't noticed her going through his phone. He was too caught up in anticipation.

Tiana turned her head away from his handsome features, her gaze cooling, "Don't worry, the answer is—this child has nothing to do with you. No need to force yourself to take responsibility for me.

Is it hard for you?

Well, good thing this child isn't yours. You can continue your perfect harmony with Endora."

"What do you mean it's not mine?" Parker's handsome face turned ashen, unable to comprehend her sudden change of attitude. He was furious, "You meant that this child could be mine! That night on Saltland Island..."

"Nothing happened! Oh, Parker, did you really hope I was carrying your child?

I don't believe you'd want this kind of trouble.

After all, you have to be fully responsible for Endora, your lifesaver."

"Don't bring her into this! I told you, it's over between us." Parker growled, "Why won't you believe me? We were getting along just fine. Just give me the answer, and I'll take care of everything."

Why wouldn't she believe him?

The pictures of Endora were proof of his lies.

If he was determined to marry Endora, she would never tell him about the child's paternity.

What if Endora, unable to bear children herself, manipulated him to take this child away?

Maybe, this child shouldn't even be kept.

That's right... Tiana made a heartbreaking decision. She couldn't keep the child.

"You've not said a single truth." Parker was distraught, grabbing her hand desperately, "How many weeks pregnant are you? At three months, we can do an amniocentesis to see who the father is!"

"There's no need for an amniocentesis; it's not yours." Tiana pulled away, pondering how to drive him away heartlessly, a cold smile suddenly on her lips, "Actually, it's Barclay's."

"Bullshit!" After denying it so many times, was she insane?

Parker's gaze turned icy, driven to the edge by her repeated claims of 'it's not yours'.

He couldn't accept it; his heart was almost set on it.

"Tiana, stop messing with me. I'll take you for an amniocentesis right now." His grip was scorching yet merciless.

"Have you lost your mind?" Tiana's eyes widened, seeing the cold fury in his eyes.

She was truly frightened, "We can't do the procedure now. I know best whose child this is.
