Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1031

Was it all about her secret whereabouts today?

The two little rascals, dodging and weaving in front of her, talking about her skills in holistic medicine. It surely wasn't about helping Phineas, or why not just come out with it? So, who needed saving?

Whitney furrowed her brows, deciding to keep her cool. She glanced at the two bodyguards beside the car, squinted her eyes, and smiled playfully, "Alright, my little munchkins, I'm not about to lock you up, but you've got to be careful, especially these days. Try not to go out if it's not necessary."

Whitney glanced at him, a smile playing on her lips. "Have you guys not eaten all day while you were out?"

Danny shot Sammy a look.
