Novel1Chapter 184 This was utterly ridiculous! Evangeline shot Walter a withering look.
+25 BONUS "What's the big deal about wearing clothes from someone else? First, the gift is from Alex, not just sother man," she snapped at Walter. "And just to be clear, we're on the brink of divorce. Maybe you should start getting used to being my ex and stop being so grabby, okay?" Walter was a piece of work.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack when she was head over heels for him, doing everything to be by his side, he could not have cared less.
Now, all she wanted was to speed through the divorce and break free, but he was all up in her business, even fussing over what she wore.
Was this his idea of fun? Being a control freak? Walter had been standing on the floor, but at her words, he took a step that landed him on the bed, closing in on Evangeline, still in her tattered dress. He seized her chin with a grip that was as cold and shocking as his expression. "Clearly, Ms. Evangeline, you're clueless about the law, so letenlighten you. The cooling- off period doesn't count as us being divorced. If I wasn't worried about you parading around in srandom guy's clothes, making the Gordon family look bad, why would I bother with you?" His use of 'random guy' flared Evangeline's irritation. She fought back hard and shoved his hand away. "Mind your language! The guy who gavethe clothes isn't srandom dude. His nis Alex, and he's your kin!* Evangeline knew all too well about Walter's nasty streak, but there had to be a limit. Alex, with his gentle soul, did not deserve to be dragged through the mud by a jerk like Walter.
Her defense, however, gave Walter the opening he needed to sneer back at her.
"Wow, you remember that Alex is my relative? Judging by your antics, I would've guessed you'd forgotten! Walter's gaze darkened, turning mysterious and intense as it fixed on Evangeline.
A fiery intensity sparked in his eyes, and he found himself drawn closer to her without even realizing it. Evangeline, caught up in her own fury, did not notice the looming threat. "My antics? Spell it out for me, Walter!" she demanded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalter's words were heavy with implication, and Evangeline heard every word. Nonetheless, nothing got under her skin more than being wrongly accused, especially of something as scandalous as hitting on her relative and tarnishing the family's reputation! "You really have no clue what you've done?" Walter's laughter had a mocking edge, but his gaze lingered on Evangeline's delicate collarbone, exposed to the air She was slender, her skin pale, and her collarbone strikingly beautiful- a feature Walter adored. Whenever they were close, he could not resist showering it with kisses. His dark eyes shimmered with a hint of envy, his body burning up with a feverish heat. Of course, his Chapter 184 +25 BONUS words remained sharp and cutting, voicing his deepest thoughts. "Why is it that when I mention any random guy, you don't bat an eye? But the moment I call Alex a wild man, you're all fired up? Does it hurt, Evangeline? Are you aching for Alex?" Walter's voice betrayed a twinge of pain, and he fought the urge to clutch his chest as he looked at Evangeline.
He was filled with regret. Evangeline had always known that her heart om belonged to Alex alone, so why was he putting himself through this, demanding answers he did not want to hear?
What Walter did not realize was that his words had just triggered om something in Evangeline.
She could not figure out why she got so worked up when she heard people bad mouthing Alex. It all made sense.
If Walter was so eager to know, she was not going to keep it a secret any longer.
"Yeah, I care about him! I really, really care about him!" she blurted out.
