Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 1047

Parker glared at the shattered mouse on the floor, his mischief-filled face turning dark as night. "Damn it, Ludwik. Was that really necessary? Trying to stab me in the lung or what? You aiming for murder?"

"Shut your trap," Ludwik retorted, his face darker than a burnt pan, his icy glare cutting through the air.

But considering his own 'condition,' he clenched his jaw, unable to come back with anything.

"Ooh," Parker taunted, walking over, oblivious to danger. "Got a bit touchy, did we? Or did Whitney finally give you the boot?"

"You asking for it?"

Another file flew through the air with chilling force.

Parker, barely holding back his laughter, nimbly dodged it, his lean chest vibrating with suppressed chuckles.

He eyed Ludwik's muscular frame—always the cream of the crop, a real masterpiece from the heavens.

Older by a few years, but physically, Ludwik was in a league of his own.

Just look at those perfect legs, fierce abs, and that mesmerizing body ratio.

And beneath that crisp white shirt, a chest tight with tension. And Whitney's not into this?

Must be blind, that woman. Doesn't know what she's missing.

But speaking of being blind, Tiana's no better.

Ignoring his own superior physique and strength... sigh.

Parker got back to the point, trying to give some brotherly advice, "If you wanna get rid of Bryce and Florence quickly, don't shoulder all the pressure yourself.

The mess in Emperor City, including my uncle's troubles, it's not your fault.

Without your early actions against Bryce, that guy would've gotten greedy and targeted Inko Group sooner or later anyway.

Don't overburden yourself with responsibility, Ludwik. It'll wear you out.

And after hearing so much from you, I just found out you actually went to Eurovoria to snatch back your own kid.

Whitney's still in the dark about this...

You've been back for two days, running around non-stop, probably haven't even seen Whitney, let alone find time to chat with her, get a feel for how she might react to this unknown kid."

Ludwik's lips tightened into a thin line, falling silent as his slender fingers paused on the keyboard.

Parker continued, "Even with all the work, don't forget to show some tenderness to your lady. You haven't even won back your ex-wife yet.

Like me, no matter how busy, I always call Tiana every day, try to cheer her up regardless of how much she can't stand me.

Don't forget, after you wrap up Inko Group's stuff tonight, take some time tomorrow morning to go back, take a shower, and see Whitney. Otherwise, she'll think you don't care about her. And with your daughter's situation as it is, if you don't show Whitney any consideration, how's she supposed to accept it?"

"Got it," Ludwik replied, his voice low and tight, his expression unreadable.

He glanced at his phone. Whitney hadn't called him since that one call the day before yesterday.

She must've wanted to ask something, but he had deliberately hung up.

She must be angry.

He lifted his rugged fingers, coldly pressing against his temples, his sharp facial features suddenly shadowed.
