SWNOVELS Chapter 452
Chapter AM
Finally, Walter took the reins of the conversation.
"Playing around on this cruise is getting pretty boring, don't you think? We should spice things up by inviting some friends. And hey,"
A spark lit up in Walter's eyes as if he had just had an epic idea.
"We've got to have Evangeline there. It's my birthday, after all. If my wife skips out, it'll be the talk of the town. David, you've got to make sure she comes, by any means necessary!"
Walter's mood had done a complete flip, and Minnie felt the sting of it deep inside.
Why did he have to think of Evangeline, of all people, at a time that should be filled with joy?
"Walter, are you into Evangeline or something?" Minnie's voice rose with her accusation, "I mentioned a cruise to catch the sunrise, and you couldn't care less. However, bring up Evangeline, and you're all fired
She stood up abruptly, her eyes welling up with fresh tears that traced the paths of old ones down her cheeks.
"If you're into Evangeline, just be straight with me. Why drag me through the mud?"
David could only feel a shiver run down his spine in the face of Minnie's raw emotion.
Walter, the big boss, was a terrible actor. Whenever he tried to fake a scene with Minnie, his performance was so rough that anyone with half a brain could tell he was not into her.
However, Minnie-bless her heart-was too cheerfully clueless to notice. They had been in that messy dance for ages, and she was none the wiser.
Finally, she seemed to be catching on, and he was curious to see how Walter would wrap up that farce.
"What are you even talking about?" Walter snapped, his eyes narrowing into a glare. "Come on, it's obvious how much I spoil you. Do we really need to spell it out?"
Minnie was taken aback, her voice tinged with confusion, "Then why invite Evangeline on your birthday, of all days? Doesn't she just kill the vibe? How can we get cozy with her hanging around..."
"With her here, we have to be extra cozy," Walter interrupted. "Evangeline wants a divorce, right? I'll show her just how blissful a woman cherished by me can be! Minnie, you're such a disappointment. After everything I've done, you still doubt my feelings?"
"I... I messed up." Minnie clung to Walter's waist, her voice dripping with sweetness as she apologized," Walter, I won't ever doubt you again. Please, can't you just let it go?"
Walter's face was a picture of annoyance as he pushed against Minnie, who was practically throwing herself at him. "So you doubt me? If you don't trust me, then don't get so close..."
David, who had been watching the drama unfold, was completely gobsmacked.
Seeing how Walter handled the situation, he could not help but silently cheer him on with a mental thumbs. -up. What a power move!

Chapter 452
David looked forward to Walter's birthday bash
Imagine that: Exes and current flames, trapped together on a cruise ship. It was like a scene straight out of a teen drama, right?
With Walter's knack for stirring things up, he was itching to see the show go down.
Regardless, drama was drama. He still had to nail the mission Walter handed him.
While those two were all over each other, he shot Walter a look and got the okay to duck out early.
The first thing David did after leaving the office was to call Evangeline's number.
Talk about bad timing, though.
Evangeline had just finished a show marathon and was hit by a wave of creativity. Chapter
