Chapter 553

Damon’s expression darkened significantly. “If it weren’t for you hiding Buddy’s existence, I wouldn’t have missed these years of his growth.

“Nyla, your selfishness is the reason it took us this long to find each other. I won’t hand my child over to a woman as selfish as you!”

“You have no right to call me selfish! Since you won’t return Buddy to me, we have nothing more to discuss. I’ll see you in court!” With that, Nyla turned Damon glared at her retreating figure, filled with disgust and anger. He had never encountered such an ungrateful woman.

His phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was Spencer.

“Mr. Sumner… Buddy has been crying for Ms. Kinsey and refuses to eat anything. His eyes are swollen,” Spencer informed him.

Damon’s expression remained taut and cold. “Let him starve if he doesn’t want to eat!”

*But if he keeps crying like this, it’s not going to help…” Spencer tried to reason.

“Okay, but you have to hurry…” Mason said.

There was a pause before he could finish, then a cold voice came through. “Ms. Kinsey, until your reconsider, I won’t let you see Buddy.”

Damon replied before hanging up.

When Nyla called back, the line was busy.

Just then, a police officer approached her, his expression sympathetic. “Ms. Kinsey, the car left the school and turned onto a side road without surveillan trace their movements.”
