Chapter 443 

Evangeline was into Alex. 

The second the thought hit Walter, it was like unleashing a storm from Pandora’s box, doubts he had never even considered started to swarm.

Why, if Evangeline was into Alex, did she end up marrying him? 

Walter eyed the calm–looking Alex and demanded through clenched teeth, “Do you know the reason?” 

He had that eerie feeling that Alex’s answer would not be anything he wanted to hear. 

“Of course, I do.” Alex nudged his wheelchair forward, inching closer to where Walter stood. 

In no time, Alex was right in front of him.
