"Stop it!" Walter's hand came down hard on the table.Evangeline was spouting words about splitting up, and it was like a punch to Walter's gut, especially when she coldly brought up Minnie."Evangeline, if you don't care about our marriage anyway, why are you so set on getting a divorce certificate? If you outlive me, you could still inherit a chunk of the Gordon fortune with that piece of paper. Why pass that up?"He tried to reason with her like a businessman, thinking it might change her mind.Evangeline just laughed. It was a laugh so sharp that it cut through the air."What's so funny?" Walter demanded.Evangeline dabbed at the tears that had spilled from laughing too hard. "It's you I'm laughing at, Walter. You think that talking about money will make me want to stay married to you."Oh, Walter, you're something else! How much money do the Gordons even have? What fraction of it would I get after you're gone? And even if you left me every last dime, what's that worth compa

Minnie did not even wait for an answer before she lost her patience."You must be the new kid, huh? I won't hold it against you if you're inexperienced. Just go get your manager, now!"The waitress blushed with embarrassment, but she did not back down. Working at a place this fancy meant she was no pushover."I'm sorry, miss. I am indeed new and still learning. If this was about anything else, I'd say you're right—it's on me. But when it comes to our guests' privacy, not even the manager can bend the rules."Her attempt to calm things down only made Minnie more furious."Even if it doesn't make a difference, I demand to speak with your manager! What's a waitress like you doing, trying to boss me around? You don't even know your place! This is your last chance. Are you calling your manager or not?"The waitress had never seen a customer like this since she had started working.Minnie's voice was so loud that the lobby manager caught wind of the fuss and came over. She bowed to Mi

Minnie grabbed her fork and knife, gingerly picking up the vegetables Walter had dished out for her. She then ate it, making a big show of tasting them, when her eyes suddenly sparkled with delight."Walter, this is amazing! I've never had anything so yummy in my life!"Across the table, Evangeline's gaze was fixed on Minnie's twinkling eyes. Her emotions were a tangled mess that words could not quite capture.Had she not overheard Minnie's chat with the lobby manager, Evangeline might have fallen for the whole 'innocent young girl' act. However, seeing Minnie flip her script so fast, it just looked very fake. That sugary-sweet way she said Walter's name was enough to make Evangeline's calmed stomach do somersaults.There was Minnie, still playing her part, batting her eyelashes at Walter.Walter's gaze was a deep well of nothingness, impossible to read.Evangeline silently vowed to catch Walter's reaction, but her stomach had other plans."Ugh..."She had not eaten much, so th

Evangeline should have done this ages ago.Minnie was mysterious. Even if things did not pan out as Evangeline suspected, she clung to the hope that Minnie might lead her to her elusive stepmother, Lydia.When she got back to the private room, Evangeline was surprised to find the once-buzzing dinner had cleared out, leaving only Walter.He sat there, stone-faced, his eyes deep pools of nothingness. What was he thinking?She did not bother with niceties and just waved her hand in front of his face. "Walter? Where did everyone go? They just up and left without a word?"She thought of Alex and felt a twinge of regret.They had not seen each other in forever, and when they finally had the chance, they had not even exchanged a word."How would I know? Maybe you should call them?" Walter snapped back.He was not trying to start a fight with Evangeline, really. It was just that the idea of her worrying about Alex, who had left without a word, got under his skin."Okay, fine," said Ev

"What to do? We're going to have the baby, of course!" blurted Walter without hesitation. He had not been too keen on the idea of kids before. However, the thought of his child growing inside Evangeline filled him with a warmth he could not ignore. He even found himself eagerly anticipating the moment.Evangeline wondered if the baby might change things, if she might stop pining for Alex and start thinking about what was best for herself."Evangeline, can you even imagine how long we've been waiting for this baby, and how hard I've worked for this? Just erase any thought of an abortion from your mind!"Evangeline's lips quivered. Staring at Walter's face, she was dying to ask him what exactly he had worked hard on. Nonetheless, her good upbringing sealed her lips, and she kept the question to herself."It was just a question, no need to get worked up," she said calmly. "We don't even know for sure if I'm pregnant yet. We haven't done the tests, so it's too early to jump to conclusi
