Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 970

"You never gave me hope, did you? Guess it just means we were never meant to be, fate's too thin between us. And this child… could've been a boy, but now he's just a casualty of us.

Blame me for being heartless, I'll wear that badge.

You can't forgive me, fine.

But losing him, that's on you too."

Parker's grip on her wrist went slack, his arm dropping limply to his side.

He glared at her tear-stained face, anger and sorrow churning in his eyes, his heart aching so badly he could hardly breathe. He gasped for air, his lips pressed thin and white as paper.

What a sick joke.

Fate playing tricks on him, erasing his memories on Saltland Island, and now this woman taking away his child.

"Could've been a boy, huh, funny…" Parker sneered coldly at Tiana, his heart shattered, his fingers tightening around her jaw, "How could you do it!

Tiana, how could you abort our child? Do you hate me that much?

Everything with Endora, I could've explained.

I asked you over and over if the child was conceived on Saltland Island.

You kept denying it, saying it was Barclay’s… If you chose to hide it, why confess now?

I get it, you never wanted to marry me. Every time there was a glimmer of hope, you precisely cut it away. Does playing me make you feel good?”

Tiana shook her head in despair, “Parker! I know it's hard for you, but I told you now so you wouldn't have to find out later, to make it even worse. I wanted you to have all the facts, to decide if you could still accept me.

Losing our child hurt me too, more than you'll ever know.”

“I'll never understand, because you chose to end it!

I didn't even know about the memory loss when the child came into our lives, and even less when he left!

Was it really your decision to make alone?

Tiana, you're playing with my heart, and I truly despise you for it. Our flesh and blood, gone just like that?!”

Parker roared, his rage spilling out uncontrollably.

Tiana stepped back, frightened by his intense gaze. She wiped away her tears, her vision blurred. She then watched him turn around and storm off without a word.

Just as she thought, he was deeply wounded.

Unable to accept or forgive her.

But at that time, under immense pressure, and him siding with Endora, she was desperate to save her father. What choice did she have?

He couldn't understand, couldn't see her helplessness, the pain of losing a child driving him to irrationality.

This marriage, it seemed, was doomed from the start. There was no light at the end of their tunnel.

Tiana covered her eyes as tears soaked through, while Cherry approached hesitantly, having heard Daddy Parker's angry departure. She didn't understand what had happened.

But she felt a sudden dread, their parents fighting again?

They hadn't reconciled yet.

Cherry, dragging her IV stand, began to cry softly, “Mommy, why is Daddy Parker so angry? What did you fight about? His eyes were all red.”
