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.

She stepped back, her voice tinged with resentment.“Jack, I just…”

He closed the door without a word, wheeling the cart to Alice.

Alice glanced at the door.“Who was that?” It sounded like a woman.

She blushed, finding fresh clothes and underwear in the bag. She quickly changed. I’m done.”

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

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

His phone rang. He went to the balcony. His voice hardened.“Spit it
