Chapter 430
Evangeline eyed David, who stood ramrod straight at the door, with a mix of confusion and amusement as if he were a complete oddball.
“Mr. Zimmer, why on earth should I leave with you?” Lounging on the couch, legs elegantly crossed, Evangeline’s voice dripped with a lazy curiosity.
David shot a look at Celina, who clearly relished the unfolding drama, and whispered to Evangeline, “Your husband, Walter Gordon, wants a word. He’s waiting for you outside the salon.”
Aware of the onlookers, Evangeline knew she could not snub Walter.
“Fine, let’s go.” Evangeline grabbed her purse and strolled out of the beauty salon leisurely.
David, who was always on edge about upsetting Walter’s wife, trailed behind her, careful to keep his distance. “Mrs. Gordon, Mr. Walter Gordon’s car is right over there.”
Evangeline glanced where David pointed and saw a sleek white Rolls Royce parked at the curb–totally Walter’s style.
Of course, why should she do what Walter wanted? She gave a dismissive wave with her purse toward the Rolls Royce and headed off in the other direction.
“David, tell your boss I’ve got nothing to say to him. It’s over, no more talking.” Her voice drifted on the breeze, yet Walter caught every word from inside the car.
They really had nothing left to discuss. With the whole mess with Minnie still up in the air, approaching Evangeline would not do him any favors. However, Trey’s command echoed in his mind, giving him the perfect excuse to reach out to her.
With that thought, Walter revved up the Rolls Royce and smoothly cut off Evangeline’s path before she could hop into her car. He rolled down the window, his handsome face coming into view. “Evangeline, come on, get in.”
She snorted. “As if I’d just hop in because you say so. Please.” If it were not for Cole’s sickness, she would have had the divorce papers in her hand already.
If she listened to Walter at this moment, she would be the biggest fool ever.
“Evangeline, even pretense has its limits. Are you waiting for me to come out and personally escort you?” Walter’s voice had barely faded when he ditched any pretense of chivalry, flung open the car door, and grabbed Evangeline’s wrist.
“Walter, are you out of your mind?” Evangeline fought back hard, “Remember, I’m pregnant!”
Walter gave a sly grin. “Of course, I remember. So, do you really think I’d haul you into the car like I used
to?”
He flashed a chilling smile, his white teeth gleaming ominously, sending shivers down Evangeline’s spine. In a flash, Evangeline was off her feet, swept up in Walter’s arms.
“What are you doing?!” Her voice rang out in a mix of fear and surprise, her body writhing instinctively.

In the backseat, Walter gently settled the pregnant Eva the other side to sit next to her.
Realizing resistance was pointless, Evangeline stoppe watched Walter warily. What was he plotting?
