Walter’s voice was loud and carried a moral weight. He had sought out Alex because he had intended to visit Evangeline at the Emerald of the Highlands villa himself, only to find Alex already on his way out.
He just could not wrap his head around it. Despite his countless warnings, Alex did not back down. In fact, he doubled down. He ignored the fact that he was confined to a wheelchair and trekked across half of Avalon City just to see Evangeline!
However, when Walter confronted him, all he got in return was a sharp, mocking laugh.
Alex let out a laugh that was as biting as ice, dripping with scom. “Walter, seriously, what right do you have to stand there and question me?”
There he was, sitting in his wheelchair, propping up his chin with one hand, the other hand wrapped around his wrist, fingers playing with something.
In the glare of the bright lights, something sparkled so intensely that Walter had to squint to make out that it was a watch.
However, it did not matter what Alex was wearing at the moment. The real issue was his question….
The word ‘right‘ hit Walter like a sledgehammer to the chest.
Evangeline’s Increasingly icy stare haunted his thoughts, making the pain in his chest even sharper.
Did he have any right to question her, to be by her side?
Yes, he did!
A determined gleam sparked in Walter’s eyes. “Why wouldn’t I have the right? I’m her husband, and I’m the father of the child she’s carrying….
Before Walter could finish, Alex cut him off.
“Yeah, and that’s about all you are.” Alex casually stroked the watch on his wrist and spoke indifferently. Oh Walter, my dear brother, you’ve been the golden boy since the day you were born, Grandpa’s favorite. But sometimes, I can’t help but think, you’re kind of a sad figure, aren’t you?”
Walter had always been on top of the world, untouchable. He could scarcely believe it–he was hearing pity in Alex’s voice!
Why would he, Walter, need pity? Since when did Alex have the right to pity him?
Alex, the guy who was never Trey’s favorite, the one the Gordon family cousins loved to pick on, was then looking at him with those pitying eyes and that infuriating calm?
Without even realizing it, Walter’s hands balled into fists, ready to lash out, but Alex spoke again, “Ever wonder just how pitiful you are?”
Alex’s laughter broke through as he saw the bewilderment swirling in Walter’s eyes. It was a booming. mocking laugh.
“If you’re clueless, let me spell it out for you. Do you have any idea why Evangeline, your wife, married you?
