Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 965

Whitney rolled her eyes at him, "Who's the doctor here, you or me? Just do it."

"..."

Parker was uneasy, but in front of this woman who had unraveled the mystery of his daughter's birth and helped him greatly, he chose to bite his tongue.

Carrying Tiana, with the butler and maids guiding Cherry, they set off back to the Doonan Mansion.

Once home, Parker headed to his own detached villa, gently cleaned Tiana's face and hands, and changed her out of the cumbersome wedding gown. Seeing her deep in slumber, her pale, cherubic face devoid of color, her eyes shut, and her long curly hair spread out on the pillow, her profile sweet and exquisite as if painted, he felt like he was in a dream. Could he really get her back? His heart ached.

He watched her for a long half-hour, unable to get enough, then softly kissed her forehead before leaving.

Cherry's room was a makeshift nursery.

As the unmarried man of the Doonan family, there was no nursery in his villa.

He hadn't expected that overnight, he would suddenly have a three-year-old daughter.

His bringing the child home also shocked the mansion's staff, but no one dared to ask too many questions. The old servants scrambled to clear a guest room, asking if he wanted to buy toys and decorations.

Parker flicked his cigarette butt away, his lips curving slightly, "No need, I'll buy those myself!"

After settling Cherry for her nap, he took a shower, changed into a clean suit, and came out.

At the door, the elderly butler and his assistants waited.

Seeing Parker alone, the butler frowned.

Parker said, "Don't wait here. Go to the main building and relay to the old man that I'm off to redo a DNA test to see what he has to say then. Also, the child is napping; she's not up for visitors."

The butler hesitated but didn't dare to contest.

The old man had a soft spot for Carmen and, by extension, showed favoritism to Mr. Parker from a young age, discreetly to not let the matriarch notice. Thus, despite Barclay's troubles over the years, the old man turned a blind eye, always compensating the main house.

But his most cherished was undoubtedly Mr. Parker.

Now, with the major's daughter becoming Mr. Parker's own, the old man's feelings were a mix of turmoil and excitement.

Last night, over tea, he had mused, "A family scandal, yes, but if she's unquestionably Parker's daughter, I can hardly oppose his affair with that single mother! After all, the child needs a home.

It's a blessing it's a girl. Had it been a boy, Parker would have his heir, and I'd be overjoyed for a few minutes!"

The butler, seeing the old man's ruminations, comforted, "A boy could still come, if Mr. Parker decides to marry. Having a son would be a matter of moments then.

I know you're eager for Mr. Parker to have an heir.

For now, it's about whether you and the relatives can accept Tiana, despite her tainted background."

Mentioning Tiana reminded Winston of the drama with Barclay.

It was indeed a family scandal, tarnishing the girl's reputation. Marrying her off to Parker? That would be beneath his son!

The old man's attitude was unpredictable.

-

Parker got into the car, holding a few strands of Cherry's hair, and plucked some of his own.

He put them into a sealable bag.

His assistant asked, "Will you go to the DNA testing center yourself?"

"Obviously, I want to relive that joy," Parker replied coldly.
