Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 455

Poor Hayes had no idea that danger was creeping up on him.

Yuna's hand inched closer and closer to Hayes' back. Closer and closer... But just as her fingers were about to graze him, a jarring ringtone shattered the silence.

Ding—

Hayes jumped, whirling around in an instant.

Met with Yuna's glare, seething with hatred, Hayes was utterly baffled.

When did Mom sneak in? He hadn't heard a sound.

The little guy cocked his head, puzzlement written all over his face as he gazed at Yuna.

Damn it! The kid had spun around unexpectedly, catching Yuna off guard. Her diffidence reflexively made her withdraw her hand.

Damn it all!

What was she afraid of? There was no one else around! So what if he saw her? As long as he was out of the picture, she didn't mind the brat watching her do the deed!

She wanted to crush his hope anyways!

Yuna, teeth gritted, was about to reach out again when Hayes furrowed his brow and reminded her, “Mom... your phone...”

Damn it! Which low-life was calling her now?

Fuming, Yuna yanked out her phone to hang up, but then she caught sight of that familiar number. Barnes!

He couldn't even handle a little kid, and now he had the nerve to call?

But she couldn't ignore Barnes' call; he must be reporting on last night's business!

Suppressing her loathing for Hayes, Yuna pressed the answer button.

But just as she brought the phone to her ear, Barnes' voice came through, livid with fury, “Yuna, you're nothing but trouble! Why the hell did you use my gun license to buy a weapon? Do you have any idea I'm being hunted down right now?”

Hearing his words, Yuna's heart skipped a beat, her gaze flicking involuntarily to the little boy before her.
