Chapter 405
The mere mention of 'running the show' had Minnie blushing even harder, if that was possible. A sharp glint
passed through Walter's eyes as his smile grew wider, a clear sign he knew exactly what he was doing. "David,
let's call it a day. Could you set up dinner for M, Kast? I've got stuff to do, so I'm heading out."
Walter did not even pause as he got up to leave, but Minnie, still buzzing from the new thrill of romance, was not
ready to let go.
"Walter, it's our first day as an item together. Can't you hang out just a bit longer, pretty please?"
She was still floating on cloud nine from Walter's earlier affection, but the guy could flip a switch so fast. It was
like one minute he was there, and he would be gone in the next, leaving her in a daze.
"Look, you're not exactly out of the picture with the whole cafe news scandal. If we're seen out together now, it's
like we're asking for trouble. Plus, I'm still technically engaged to Evangeline. Getting too cozy with you isn't
great for your rep either." Walter gave Minnie's delicate shoulder a reassuring pat. "Relax for now, and | promise
I'll make it up to
you."

Minnie stayed quiet, Walter called out to his assistant, "David, take Ms. Kast home, will you?"
Without another glance, Walter left the office and hit the road, suddenly hit by a wave of loneliness. Crystal
Waters House was the dream hTrey had gifted him and Evangeline this place when they got married.
Ever since his big fight with Evangeline, he had not set foot in there. That place was a scrapbook of his life with
Evangeline, holding onto the few sweet snapshots they had together.
He nudged the bedroom door open, and there they were-the big, red dried flowers on the headboard, a vivid
reminder of their wedding night that felt like it had happened just yesterday. However, the red had lost its luster,
just like the memories that seemed to fade with time.
Could he win Evangeline back after everything that had changed? He had to believe he could.
Minnie was clueless, missing the hint that he did not want to go public with their relationship at work. It would be
a piece of cake to trip her up if he just sweetened the deal a little more...
In another part of the house, Evangeline was nestled in a rocking chair by the window, her gaze locked on the
full moon. Julieta approached, a light blanket in her arms.
"Ms. Evangeline, it's getting chilly with the fall breeze. Better wrap up," she said, placing the blanket over
Evangeline's legs without waiting for a reply.
"Julieta, you've been through motherhood. Tell me, do you ever miss the father of your child?" Evangeline's voice
was soft, her hand gently touching her barely-there baby bump, her eyes a pool of wistfulness. Maybe it was just
the pregnancy making her extra emotional, especially in the deep silence of the night.
