What charade had she been keeping up? The truth was that she was dead set on a divorce, and Walter was the one who would not let go!
He even had the nerve to drag her grandfather, Cole, into this, pressuring her to start a family with him. It was downright vile!
However, Andrew did not even give Evangeline the chance to get a word in.
He grabbed Lydia’s hand, his voice filled with anguish, “You knew all along that Julia was taken by Walter?
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?! You have no idea how worried I’ve been about
Julia’s situation…”
Lydia had seen right through Andrew’s act a long time ago. She yanked her hand away. “Worried, my foot! You just see Walter doting on Julia and think she’ll land you a rich son–in–law! I can’t stand another day of this!
“Andrew, I’m done with you. I want a divorce! No, wait, I’m calling Walter right this second. As soon as we find Julia, we’re going to the County Clerk’s Office. I can’t stand to wait another moment!” Lydia exclaimed, whipping out her phone to dial Walter’s number.
However, call after call, all she got was a busy signal. Lydia pocketed her phone with an awkward chuckle, “Walter’s the big boss at Gordon Group, probably tied up in some meeting and can’t bother with me! Well, good. You just stew in guilt! When my son–in–law comes to whisk me away, you’ll be green with regret, and it’ll be too late!”
