Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 622

Ludwik arched an eyebrow and turned to the servant, "Didn't you hear the lady? Go upstairs and bring down all the maxi dresses for her to choose from."

Whitney was speechless. "That's not necessary, just grab any one of them!"

These days, she had been cold and distant, but finally, she seemed to be making a request to him, which made Ludwik think she might be slowly coming to terms with her situation.

He cheerfully tickled the sole of her foot and complimented, "Honey, you've been sunbathing for days, and you're somehow glowing even more. Only I seem to have gotten a tan. Tell me, what's your secret? Hm?" Whitney had no interest in his sweet nothings.

"So, you like beach dresses, babe. I'll have someone order a bunch more right away."

Whitney thought, he's been in touch with the outside world all this time? Maybe there's even a helicopter on this island.

But she needed to find it.

"Ludwik, you said the Lippert Group is working on a chip project. Aren't you worried about it failing since you're always here, not working?"

Whitney asked, though she couldn't see his expression as she rested her head on his shoulder.

He never answered such probing questions.

"What do you want? For me to take a break from this island getaway to go back and manage the Lippert family's business, so you have a chance to escape?"

His voice deepened ominously.

Whitney fell silent.

"Don't worry, my current project is you! Since I've decided to take a holiday, I'm fully prepared. No need for your little brain to work overtime."

He concluded decisively.

Whitney looked down, disheartened.

Soon, they were on a yacht, arriving at a cliff overlooking the breathtaking Demon's Eye under the sunlight, its waters calm and mirror-like. The beauty and clarity of this forgotten corner of the world struck Whitney. If only her sons were with her, it would've been an unforgettable sight.
