Chapter 295
Evangeline could barely make out Walter’s profile in the dim light by the roadside. “So, you think you can treat me this way just because you’re angry?
“Walter, what do you think I am? Some kind of pleasure device?”
Evangeline’s voice thundered in the cramped car, shaking Walter to his core. She wrenched herself from his grip and fixed her clothes right in front of him.
At that moment, she was not just Walter’s wife. She was the untouchable, golden girl of the Foster family, and she would not stand for this treatment from any man! Her clothes were the last shred of dignity she clung to in Walter’s presence.
“Walter, this is goodbye!” She meant they were done for good.
Walter’s ears rang with the slam of the car door, leaving him in a silence so deep he could near his own heart breaking. He looked around the empty car, feeling a hollow echo inside himself. His undone belt
and pants were a silent testament to his recent actions.
In a moment of self–loathing, Walter slapped himself hard across the face. How could he have doubted Evangeline? She had been into Alex for years. If she were the type to flit from guy to guy, she would have ended up with Alex ages ago.
‘Why would she wait? Walter, you fool, jealousy had you seeing red, and you lost your head!‘
He had to make it right. He had to apologize to Evangeline!
Walter desperately snatched up his phone like it was his last lifeline. He keyed in Evangeline’s number with the ease of someone who had done it a million times. However, instead of the usual dead air, a
robotic voice answered this time.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”
Walter did not know whether to laugh or cry. He chuckled because Evangeline had finally turned her phone back on, but he was also disappointed because she clearly did not want to talk to him at the
moment.
Whatever. If she did not want to pick up, that was her call. It was his fault, after all.
He opened his messaging app, figuring he would drop Evangeline a note. Once she calmed down, she would surely read it.
He sent a cautious emoji first, only to get slapped with a message saying she had blocked him.
Blocked. Just like that. No chance to explain or anything.
Staring at the ‘message rejected‘ alert, Walter’s brain hit a wall. He had no idea what to do next.
Evangeline had just walked through her door and plopped onto the couch when her phone rang. It was Alex.
“Evie, are you doing okay?”
