Chapter 210
“I won’t do it!” Walter’s eyes were tinged with red, but his voice was resolute.
“Why won’t you let go? You don’t even like Evie, and now you’re just holding her back from finding happiness?”
Holden’s blood boiled at the thought of this guy messing with his beloved niece’s future.
When the men grilled him, Walter was bursting with things to say but could not find the words.
He truly adored Evangeline; he dreamed of growing old with her. However, Evangeline’s heart belonged to Alex, leaving Walter’s love with nowhere to
- go.
If he spilled his true feelings and they reached Evangeline, he would lose the last shred of pride he had.-
No way he could admit that, not even if his life depended on it!
Walter hardened his resolve and looked away. “I just won’t do it, okay? Get over it. There’s no way I’ll agree to a divorce from Evangeline!”
His voice was firm, but it only fueled Evangeline’s uncles‘ anger.
That little jerk! Messing up his own life was one thing, but dragging Evie down with him? That was on him.
Out of nowhere, Holden’s hand shot out, grabbing Walter by the collar.
“You stubborn kid, you won’t budge, will you?”
Walter, who had never been manhandled like this, was livid. However, he remembered this was Evangeline’s uncle, and just like that, his anger fizzled
out.
He wanted a life with Evangeline, so how could he ever stand up to her uncles?
“I won’t do it.” Walter’s answer came out even stronger than before.
