If she did not care about Walter, why did she comply so easily when he y did sh mentioned his injury? Why did she let him have his way? Denying something did not make it any less true. She could fool anyone, but she could not fool her own heart.

How could she just watch as Hank, who was defending her honor, got pushed around? Walter, as if reading her thoughts, effortlessly drew her into his side. "Isn't that right, Evie?" His voice was soft and coaxing, and the way he said 'Evie' seemed to drip with genuine emotion. Evangeline could hear the underlying sarcasm, though. After all, Walter's desire to win was just a man's pride showing off in front of Hank. What real feelings could he have for her? Evangeline and Walter were locked in a silent battle, and Hank was clueless about the tension. To anyone watching, their stolen glances seemed more like playful flirting right under Hank's nose. Feeling a rush of emotion, Hank could not stand it any longer and stood up abruptly.

"Evie, something's cup at work, so I've got to head out. We'll catch up over dinner sother time, okay?" Walter's taunts had lit a fire in Hank; he was determined to win Evangeline's heart.

Even if it took everything he had, and even if Evangeline never cto like him, he was set on saving her from Walter, the jerk without a shred of decency! Chapter 227 2D BONUS "Hank..." Evangeline's voice trailed off, trying to keep him there, but he did not wait around. He just got up and left. Walter, on the other hand, did not miss a beat. He caught every subtle move she made, especially the way her gaze lingered on Hank as he walked away, which really got under his skin.

With a deliberate motion, Walter raised his hand with its prominent knuckles and waved it lazily in front of Evangeline's face, snapping her out of her daze.

"He's gone. What are you still staring at?" Evangeline's eyes snapped back into focus, the confusion quickly replaced by her usual spark. "Walter, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? "We're getting a divorce, remember? Is it so wrong forto look for a little happiness now? Why do you have to butt in? Do you really want to chase off every guy I meet so I end up alone after we split? Is that what you want, forto be miserable?" Even though there was nothing going on between her and Hank, Evangeline knew she had to snuff out Walter's toxic thoughts before they sabotaged her chance at a fresh start and future happiness.

Her questions hit Walter like a barrage of arrows, each one sharp Ws each one sharp and unerring, making his ears burn and his heart ache.

He had been so transparent with his feelings, believing that twould would make her love growXHe had even stooped to tactics he despised like styrant taking what he wanted by force. Even so, this woman, with no heart to speak of, had only one thing on her mind: Divorce, divorce, divorce!

What did that tell him? It screamed that he did not even have the tiniest spot in Evangeline's heart. All she could think about when she looked at him was getting a divorce! na
