For an entire month, Walter had the stunning Minnie by his side, day in and day out, yet he looked like he had been through the wringer? No way!

Evangeline's eyes slowly dropped to his chin and spotted the telltale shadow of stubble.

"Walter, when's the last time you shaved? You're a total mess."

Evangeline stepped back from Walter, her nose wrinkled in distaste, but she did not miss a beat to tease him, "Seeing you like this, Minnie can't be all that great, huh? She lets her guy walk around looking like a slob..." "Really?" Walter's voice was heavy with implication as his intense gaze fixed on Evangeline. "Well, by that logic, you're not doing too hot either. Didn't your guy step out looking just like this?"

He pointed at his own stubbly chin, as if to make sure Evangeline saw.

"And let's not forget, legally speaking, I'm still your guy, and I've got nothing to do with Minnie."

Evangeline seethed silently, her teeth clenched in frustration.

Walter's go-to move was always the legal jargon! All that, and she could not just fix the situation on the spot!

So, she tried to throw shade, only to have it thrown back in her face?

That was the last straw! She, Evangeline, would not stand for it!

"Just a reminder, the law also says that for couples like us, who've been living apart for years without any emotional connection, we're not considered to be in a real marriage anymore. So, don't you dare try to guilt-trip me, okay?"

"Who says we've had no emotional connection?" Walter pointed at the slight swell of Evangeline's belly," Without any heart-to-heart, where did this kid come from? He's only three months old now, so what does that mean? It means the last time we had a moment, it had to be at least three months ago.

"Of course, who can be sure of making a baby on the first shot? Plus, when you ladies figure out how far along you are, there's a two-week wiggle room..."

Walter rambled on, but Evangeline's eyes were getting wider by the second.

Was the guy in front of her, looking like Walter's twin, actually Walter? Had she mistaken him for his doppelganger, Alex?

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, making sure she was not seeing Alex's wheelchair, before she faced the truth.

The man before her, obsessing over pregnancy calculations, was indeed her husband in name, Walter.

The reason behind that...

A thought flashed through Evangeline's mind.

"Walter, is your sweetheart planning to have a baby?"

Chapter 431

Why else would Walter, the workaholic, dive into the details of pregnancy timing?

He even figured out the tiny detail of the two-week error...

"What are you even saying?" Walter never caught what Evangeline meant, and the words 'I've never laid a hand on Minnie!' almost escaped his lips before he choked them back.

If Evangeline knew he had been keeping himself just for her, what would she think? She would probably be rolling on the floor laughing.

"Let's get to the point!"

Walter finally realized that since they had met, Evangeline had been pulling his strings, and he had not even gotten to what he wanted to say.

"Evangeline, I need you to steer clear of Sunny Glow Beauty Salon-for good."
