Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1109

Chandler tenderly cupped Helen's face, his voice soft and reassuring. "From now on, you can follow any path you choose. Even if you lose everything, just remember I'll always be right there with you. You don't have to be afraid of anything, okay?"

Tears welled in Helen's eyes, though she didn't seem to notice. With a playful sniff, she teased, "You're just trying to make me cry, aren't you?"

"I would never do that," Chandler replied, brushing away her tears. "I just can't help but wonder if I messed things up. Maybe if I had let Mariah confess to Benjamin directly, he would have given you a real apology."

"You've done more than enough," Helen remarked, leaning in to kiss the corner of his lips. "Now that the truth is out, his apology doesn't matter to me anymore."

She added, "Chandler, I'm so grateful to have you in my life."

Chandler felt a rush of electricity course through him, a tingling sensation spreading across his body.

With a playful grin, he said, "Looks like I'm officially on duty now. Mrs. Newton, don't you think it's time to come up with a new title for me?"

"Mrs. Newton?" Helen blinked in surprise, momentarily confused by the term.

As she realized he was addressing her, she couldn't help but shyly nibble on her lower lip.

From Chandler's perspective, her vulnerable expression was completely mesmerizing. His throat tightened, and he felt a strong urge to taste her full, inviting lips.

Just as Chandler leaned in, his phone rang from the inner pocket of his jacket. He frowned in frustration; the timing couldn't have been worse.

Helen chuckled softly, cupping his face in her hands and planting a firm kiss on his lips. "There, is that better?"

Chandler's smile returned as he stepped back to answer the call.

"What's going on?" Helen asked.

She had taken off the human skin mask before leaving—how had it ended up back on Faye?

"When I saw the accident photos on the news, I figured you must have gone to see Seymour. After you sent the mask for repairs, I managed to get it back and leaked that the deceased was you," Chandler explained calmly.

"So, your goal was to draw someone out, wasn't it?" Helen said, immediately grasping his strategy.

Chandler nodded. "The bait worked well. While we didn't catch the main target, we did manage to capture Julia."

"Julia?" Helen asked in surprise. She had almost forgotten about her. With Julia now in custody, Zac would likely be too wary to show his face again.
