Chapter 203
Evangeline was not playing Walter’s game. “Walter, even if we don’t mention our divorce’s cooling–off period or even if we were still married, I still have the freedom to do what I want. So back off, okay?” She was beyond frustrated.
She could not stand this version of Walter; everything about him just got under her skin. She had once loved him deeply, only to be met with his indifference. She was done pouring her heart out, yet he was all over her business.
“Do you really think I want to meddle in your life? Alex has decided to work at Avalon University, and you’re here today to teach violin, right?”
Her eyes darkened, and she snapped, “Walter, you’re the worst! Have you been spying on me?”
Walter completely ignored Evangeline’s fury, his voice a deep rumble of menace. “Evangeline, didn’t I tell you to keep your distance from Alex?
“Alex starts working at Avalon University, and you’re all too eager to show up. What do you think that makes me look like? And what about the Gordon family’s good name?”
Evangeline was baffled. “He knows I’m great with the violin. He wanted me to come and mentor some students. How does that involve you or the Gordon family?”
“It involves me because you’re getting too cozy with Alex, my brother. I won’t stand for the rumors about you two giving me a bad name. It’s revolting!”
The mere thought made Walter feel sicker than if he had swallowed a fly.
“Look, I don’t care what you do, but forget about joining the music department at Avalon University. If you’re so set on teaching a few students, passing on your music, I’ll find you another place.”
Evangeline’s violin solo at the birthday party had left everyone, including Walter, in awe.
