Chapter 421
“Walter, how long have we been together?” Minnie asked.
“A little over a month, why?” Walter replied, eyeing her with a hint of suspicion but with a smile hidden in his heart.
Minnie always tried to outsmart him, and he had grown tired of playing her games.
She had nearly gotten her way last time because he had not been on guard. This time, her intentions were clear as day. Was she planning to pull the same stunt again?
“So, you’re aware it’s been a month,” she said.
Minnie’s eyes blazed with the hurt she had been bottling up, and she let it all out at Walter, not bothering to hide her frustration. “For the past month, the most we’ve done is hug. Don’t you think that’s a little too…. well, you know.”
She could not even bring herself to say the word. It was too mortifying. There was Walter, smirking at her like he knew exactly what she meant.
“Come on, you don’t like me, do you?”
“Why do you say that?” Walter chuckled, his hand that Minnie had grabbed slipped away unnoticed.
“Because you never want to get close to me.”
“Well, if that’s how you see it…” He paused for effect. Then I guess I don’t like you.”
They said the truth was often said in jest. How could he have had feelings in a game of mutual use?
Minnie was not even in the same league as Evangeline. How dare she talk about feelings?
“You!” Minnie’s eyes welled up with anger. “Say that again, and I’ll really lose it!”
“Fine, if you don’t want me to work, let’s just go grab some food.”
Walter could have wrapped up his work ages ago. The only reason he was still there was to keep Minnie calm until David got back.
However, keeping her calm was about all he could manage. Being alone with her was awkward, especially knowing she had a hidden agenda.
At this moment, Minnie was acting all high and mighty
“No! Just tell me, do you have any feelings for me? Do you or do you not want to be close?”
Her–determination to get an answer was downright stubborn.
Walter just shook his head, amused.
Julia, who once could not muster the courage to raise her voice, was boldly yelling while wearing Minnie’s face. What a transformation! It was clear that the loving vibe he had been crafting was working like a charm–Minnie was hooked.
Lost in thought, Walter’s face turned serious. “Minnie, don’t you see? Holding back is for your own good.

I’m still legally married. If I crossed the line with you, that’d be terribly irresponsible. Just hang tight. Once Evangeline and I are done, I’ll make all your wishes come true.”
It was like a giant, sugary pancake landed right on Minnie’s head, squashing her fiery temper. “You… You really mean that?”
She was floored. Walter’s restraint was actually for her benefit? His confident gaze made her heart flutter with doubt. “Still… if you wanted to, I wouldn’t think twice…”
