Chapter 143
“Isn’t drinking alone just boring? Let’s knock a few back together, what do you say?”
If Walter thought she was just being friendly before, he was sure at this moment that she was buttering
him up.
“Let’s do it.” He grabbed his glass and took a swig, eager to see what kind of game she was playing.
As she settled in across from him, unnoticed, a dude in baggy grey threads slipped out of the bar.
Cut to Evangeline, deep in business talk with Hank, when her phone buzzed.
“Walter’s at the Kronovia Royale Pub, knocking back a few
Evangeline smirked “Big surprise. Since when is Walter hitting a bar news?”
She was not a regular at those chaotic watering holes, but it seemed like every time she did show up, Walter was there too. The guy must have been a fixture.
“Guess what? That B–lister Felicia Edmonds is there too…”
The moment the words were said Evangeline’s expression turned icy
It was bad enough that Walter hit the bars, but to find out he was fooling around, too?
They were both in the midst of a divorce cooling–off period. Why did Walter get to play the jealousy card, warning her not to cheat, while he was out there picking up women at bars?
Was he looking for a stand–in because his precious Julia was out of the picture?
He was just like a dog that could not stop scavenging through the trash!
Evangeline slammed her fist onto the table. The thought of being made a fool of was unbearable. How
could she just swallow that?
Caden walked into the bar to find Walter already nursing a drink
Noticing Walter’s buzz, Caden sensed an opportunity
“Rough day, Mr. Walter Gordon? he prodded
Caden was dying to know what could knock a guy like Walter off his game
Which regret was Caden talking about, anyway? Was it for never having treated Evangeline right? Was it for letting her go?
