Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054 -

Whitney blinked wide-eyed at the ceiling, her fingers cold against her racing heart. It was one of those moments where she felt her heart skip a beat, and she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Eyes closed, she tried to picture what her mom would look like if she were still around...

Rubbing her temples, she finally managed to calm her restless heart.

Why did she keep dreaming about her mom coming back?

Emerging from her bedroom, her face showed every bit of the restless sleep she'd had.

Yael Tennyson came bounding down the stairs, ready for her morning run. Spotting her cousin, she exclaimed, "Whitney! Did you get in last night? I didn't hear a peep!"

Whitney opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, twisting off the cap and taking a long drink. "Yeah, I got in late. Didn't want to wake Uncle, so I let myself in quietly."

"You shouldn't drink cold water when you look so pale," Yael scolded gently, taking the bottle from her. "Why are you back here anyway? Weren't you staying with the Lipperts to help with the kids?"

Skipping her run, Yael turned to the kitchen to make breakfast for her sister and dad. "Is something going on, Whit?"

"Nothing much," Whitney replied with a small smile, raising her eyebrows in a calm manner. "Just had a spat with the kids and decided to escape for a bit."

"Seriously?" Yael was taken aback by the unexpected answer.

She gave her usually composed cousin a bemused look. "You're regressing, huh? Fighting with Ludwik is one thing, but the kids too?"

Whitney didn't elaborate, instead gazing out the window at the lawn, her eyes distant.
