Chapter 137

Julia Garcia’s hope plummeted at Jack’s guarded demeanor. Last night, Max had told her Jack had left the bar with a girl, but she hadn’t believed it. She’d tracked him to the hotel. It was true.

She’d been foolish, trying to win over Jack’s mother and spreading rumors of an engagement to get closer to him. He’d always been distant.

Jack turned back, pushing the cart closer. “Eat something.”

Alice was hungry. She sat on the bed, glancing at him. Want some?”
