Chapter 849 Why Is She Always The Unlucky One

At Charles words. Whitney’s leashed emotions suddenly broke free

Biting her lower lip hard to hold her sobs back, she murmured. “It’s okay. Are you okay over there? Is it overly dangerous!

When she was in Tayhaven back then, she heard Muprary was in a state of great turmoil. Warfare raged year-round there, and it was common for thugs to open fire and kill people.

Holding the phone and listening to his response, Whitney was slightly taken aback.

That was the first time he explained what he was doing. On top of that, he admitted to their date.

“Most importantly, you’re safe. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
