FULL DRAMA NOVELS Chapter 450
Chapter 450
Minnie was doing that all on purpose.
She was dying for the whole company to buzz about her and Walter, the big-shot president of Gordon Group. If the rumors spread, maybe Walter would feel forced to marry her after his divorce from Evangeline. Her fingers lightly traced Walter's cheek, the playful suggestion clear as day.
"Walter, you seem down. Look at you, bags under your eyes and all. Didn't catch much sleep, huh?" said Minnie, her voice dripping with fake sympathy, giving David a nudge to notice. Something was up with Walter, that was for sure.
David could not help but turn his full attention to him.
Walter shrugged off Minnie's clingy hands as if it were nothing. "Does it really matter how I feel? Life goes on, right?"
The memory of last night made Walter's chest tighten with pain. If Cole had not been so set on having a great-grandson, he and Evangeline would probably be history already.
He used to think Evangeline's heart belonged to Alex. However, with those two lovebirds, what chance did he stand? He never had Evangeline's love to begin with.
Walter let out a deep sigh.
He was not about to give up that easily.
He had always gotten whatever he wanted. Was there really anything out of his reach?
Evangeline was the unexpected twist in his life story. He never planned on her crashing into his world, but Trey had other plans, pushing her into his life with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
Then, just when he had opened his heart to her, she saw the truth of their mismatched marriage. She was pregnant with his child, yet her heart had never truly been his.
It was a mix of heartbreak and humor, something to be pitied and scorned.
What Walter did not realize was that his words echoed agreement in the ears of everyone around.
Minnie hated seeing Walter with a permanent frown, so she racked her brain until a lightbulb went off with a reason to smile. "Walter, your birthday's right around the corner. It's the first one we'll celebrate since we got together. Let's make it a blast, okay?" Sometimes, the start of one thing could lead to a whole new path.
Minnie's playful voice was relentless, never missing a beat.
She daydreamed about Walter's ideal birthday celebration, already lost in the blissful fantasy she had crafted for them.
"What if we take a cruise and watch the sunrise over the ocean? I've heard that couples who do that are bound for happiness."

Chapter 450
Minnie was not one to believe in old wives' tales, but love had turned her a tad superstitious. If there was even a chance it could spell eternal bliss for her and Walter, she was all in.
Plus, she harbored a dream, one where she would surrender herself to Walter amidst the romance of the high seas.
She could still see the birthday party where Walter had guided her through a game of pool, their hands touching. That memory always sent a wave of warmth through her.
She was sure that back then, Walter had eyes only for her. Alas, Evangeline just had to stir up drama. On that cruise ship, she dropped the divorce bomb like it was nothing, blowing things way out of proportion.
Poor Walter had to swallow his pride just to keep his head up.
Every time Minnie replayed that mess in her head, her heart ached with regret for what Julia and Walter had lost. Finally back as Minnie, she was dead set on fixing things. No way was she going to let herself live with any what-ifs. 2/2
