Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 481

Penelope's voice was thick with empathy, and although Rob Fitzgerald had never been through it himself, vivid images sprang to life in his mind.

He remembered his mother giving birth to his sister on his sixth birthday. He'd dashed to the hospital, thrilled, and watched the newborn in the bassinet, utterly besotted.

He wanted his sister's first present to be from him, so he slipped his own little golden anklet onto her tiny foot.

Her mother was so kind to Zoe. How could they have the heart to steal Nina from the hospital?

Damn! The Lockwoods had torn their happy home apart! He wouldn't let them get away with it! Never!

Anger flared in his eyes, his forehead veins bulging with fury. He spun on his heel, storming toward the exit.

Penelope sensed trouble and hurried to intercept Robert, "What are you planning to do?"

Robert's face was a mask of ice. "I'm going to confront the Lockwoods!"

His disposition had always been gentle, even his anger usually contained. But Penelope knew once he blew his top, it was catastrophic.

Fearing her son might do something rash, she urged him to reconsider, "Think this through, Robert! My suspicions might be off. What if the Lockwoods later found or adopted Nina."
