Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
403

Chapter 403

Their presence at the cafe had been so influential that, despite being guarded by bodyguards, there were bound to be paparazzi lurking, eager for an exclusive scoop.

Would the news of her and Walter arriving at the company together not spread like wildfire, giving her the perfect chance to make a splash?

Walter's gaze was deep and unreadable as he looked at Minnie, his face a mask hiding a whirlwind of thoughts.

Then, out of the blue...

"Minnie, why... Why are you so kind to me?"

Minnie's cheeks flushed with a sudden warmth. "Walter, isn't it obvious by now?" she asked, her voice a mix of exasperation and hope.

She was sure Walter was just playing dumb. He must have known her intentions ever since she started getting close to him.

Walter, with his straightforward nature, confronted the question that had been nagging at him, "We haven't known each other long, and we've barely hung out."

"Trust me, the first time I saw you, your charm had me totally hooked." Minnie cut off Walter's words, her eyes sparkling with infatuation.

Both Julia and Minnie could not help but fall for the guy in front of them.

"I can't believe it..."

Walter's smile was forced, his face a mix of emotions.

If Minnie had paid close attention, she would have seen that among all those feelings, joy at being confessed to was conspicuously absent. However, she was too caught up in her own world, completely dazzled by Walter.

If Walter could not believe her feelings, she would just have to make it crystal clear.

"Don't doubt it, Walter." She edged closer to him, instinctively placing his hand over her heart, a spot that sent a clear message, and locked eyes with him.

"I like you, Walter. I really, really do. I'd do anything to be with you. I don't even care about whatever's going on with you and Evangeline. So, Walter, give me a chance, will you?"

Minnie's gaze wandered, lost in memories.

Touching Walter again, she was transported back to the happiest times in her life.

Back then, Walter would shield her in front of everyone, teach her to play pool, and be there when she felt alone, offering the help she needed most.

How could she not fall for a guy like that?

"No, wait." Minnie's head gave a little shake, and when she looked back into Walter's eyes, her face lit up with a dazzling smile.

"Walter, I love you.

Walter's gaze was enigmatic as he gave a small, secretive smirk. "Alright, then make sure you love me well." Time was running out. He reached out and casually pulled Minnie into a loose embrace.

Minnie was over the moon, her face snuggled tightly against his chest.

She was aware that Walter hardly ever showed his feelings. Thus, for him to say something like that to her was as good as a declaration!

She had, at long last, won back the heart of the man she adored after giving it her all!

What Minnie did not realize was that just above her head, Walter's face was devoid of any joy of being with his beloved. The slight smile on his face turned dark and ominous as soon as she could not see it.
