Chapter 102
Evangeline’s brow creased in frustration
How could she not be slow? Did Walter not have any idea why she was so?
She was about to let out her pent–up anger when Walter cut her off. “Alright, alright, you’re here now. Just speed it up, will you? I’m in a hurry.”
Indeed, Walter was rushing Evangeline.
The reason for his rush became apparent soon enough. He was worried that if he waited any longer, and if he let himself think about Alex, the guy Evangeline could not stop thinking about, he would lose his cool. The divorce might fall through.
He balled his hands into fists. They had made a deal, and he was determined not to back out.
Evangeline had not expected Walter, who had last time fled like a frightened turtle, to be so quick to agree this time around.
It worked out for her, less hassle.
She walked into the County Clerk’s Office before him.
Filling out the forms and getting the certificate took 10 minutes.
Walter walked away without a backward glance.

Evangeline looked at the divorce decree in her hand and almost laughed. She remembered how had
schemed and manipulated to get Walter to marry her, which took nearly three months to secure that marriage certificate.
How things have changed.
A twinge of pain flickered in her heart, strong enough to overshadow any physical pain she was feeling.
She would never see Walter again. The love she once felt had vanished, leaving only a bitter grudge against him. She had to get to the hospital, the pain was just too much to bear.
The previous night had been a blur, and she was not sure if Walter had been careful enough. The thought of carrying that jerk’s baby? No way.
As she left the clinic, medicine in hand, she collided with someone. “Oh, sorry…” she mumbled, only to hear a voice filled with surprise.
