Chapter 139
Whitney’s breath hitched as the man’s brooding exhalation traveled across the phone line. He didn’t hung up which meant he’d give her a few seconds to explain
“Listen, this is the last time I went to see him Whitney rushed to explain. “I needed to retrieve a family heirloom from him, something of my grandpa’s. Then I have to track down my uncle. He’s all the family I have left. And I’ve got it now, so can you please not get all jealous?”
The man on the other end paused, his voice still frosty. “Looking for family? Fine, I’ll forgive you. Now get yourself home!
“I’m on my way,” she muttered, driving with a mixture of irritation and resignation. “You’re being paranoid. Everyone has some secrets, and you’ve already dug into mine. But you…”
Whitney trailed off, her thoughts suddenly snagging on something Elaine had said before leaving–something utterly baffling
She’d hinted that ‘L‘ was harboring a secret about someone who had once saved his life.
Whitney pursed her lips, blurting out without thinking, “And speaking of the past, what about you? Do you harbor someone in your heart?”
Silence came from the other end of the line.

Felix reminded him that it was time to board his plane.
His response to Whitney was clipped. “Enough talk. I’m off on a business trip. While I’m gone, stay out of
trouble.”
And with that, he hung up.
Whitney stared at her phone, her delicate brows knitting together. Did he react to her question, or was he hiding something?
Could there really be such a saviour in his life? Or maybe Elaine was just stirring the pot? Whitney let out a sigh, realizing there was no point in clinging to his past.
Resolved, she pressed down harder on the gas pedal, her spirits lifting as she drove.
Back at the villa, Whitney pulled out the small, well–worn contact book from her bag, cradling it like a precious relic. She stroked its cover, her eyes welling up with tears.
