Chapter 364
Walter thought he had Minnie’s real motives pegged. He was just playing around with his words, already on his toes.
Minnie’s eyes danced, and she playfully heaped on the praise.
“I trust you’re a true gentleman, Walter, and a real gentleman would never take advantage of a girl,” said Minnie sincerely. However, Inside, she was already plotting her next move.
Walter was at the height of his longing, especially since it had been ages since he had seen Evangeline. He was practically bursting at the seams.
