Chapter 390
Minnie scoffed and gave a dismissive shrug. "Con, Mr. Walter Gordon, we're both smart here. Why play
these games with me? But hey, even if you try to hide it, I'm not buying it."
As she spoke, Minnie tried to stay composed, but inside, a storm was raging. She could not stand the thought
that while she was gone, Walter could actually fall for that wretched Evangeline. Even so, she had to ask.
Walter's coldness made her fear she might never get another chance.
"Believe what you want. It's your head, your thoughts. I'm not here to control them, and | sure don't owe you any
explanations," Walter replied, keeping it frustratingly vague.
Admitting he liked Evangeline in front of Minnie was a no-win situation. Plus, he knew all about Minnie's conflict
with Evangeline. With Evangeline carrying their child, the last thing he wanted was to turn Minnie into an enemy.
If things went south, he would never forgive himself.
"If you're just here to grillwith pointless questions, then you can see yourself out," said Walter, gesturing
toward the door, clearly showing her the exit.

without a hint of sadness, but Walter's words kept spinning in her head.
Minnie was sure of one thing: Walter had not fallen for Evangeline yet. So why did he turn down 'Minnie"?
Yet, that intense hug they shared said it all-he definitely had feelings for her. However, why the abrupt rejection
afterward?
A thought struck her, and Minnie's cheeks turned pink
Julia had been gone from Walter's life for ages. Sure, Minnie's face had changed a bit, but changing her whole
body? That was a whole other story
Could it be that Walter, at that moment, thought she was Julia, the one who vanished? That must be why he held
her so close. When he snapped back to reality and saw it was 'Minnie" in his arms, he pushed her away.
Minnie felt proud of piecing that together. Was she the only one who really got Walter?
Realizing that Julia still had a spot in Walter's heart sent a wave of joy through Minnie that words just could not
capture.
Back in the surveillance room, Walter watched Minnie walk away from the Gordons with a smile. He felt a weird
twist in his chest but shrugged it off.
The whole ordeal had been too much, and he had not even noticed the pain in his back. However, then, as the
dust settled and he took a deep breath, the searing pain hit him hard.
He remembered the doctor had left spainkillers before taking off. Walter hurried to his room to grab
them
However, as he walked in, he froze. There was a middle-aged woman by his bed, setting down a bowl on the
nightstand.
Seeing her there, a flood of mixed feelings washed over him.
