Chapter 128


    The bodyguards stationed outside caught every word of Roslyn''s outbu


    Suddenly, a group of muscr men stormed into the restroom, pulling Roslyn to the side. The head bodyguard stepped forward with a stern reminder.


    "Mr. Walter Gordon, we''re here to ensure thedy''s safety. You''re putting us in a tough spot. Let her go now, or I''ll have to step in!"


    Walter could not shake the image of Evangeline''s face, the memory of her snidements about him needing a urologist boiling his blood. He was so ticked off that he could not bear to look at her one more second. He had not even waited for the bodyguards to kick the door open; he did it himself. As he was about to step through, however, he spotted a guy with dreadlocks and punk-


    rock vibes standing among the bodyguards. The guy had looked all kinds of worried, his face scrunched up in anxiety.


    Walter''s eyes narrowed to slits, his gaze cutting like aser.


    If his memory served him right, this had been the dude who had hit it off with Evangeline!Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    With everyone watching, Walter beckoned Matthew with a flick of his finger. "Hey you,e here."


    Matthew was clueless about what was happening. Why was this guy, who seemed out to get Evangeline, calling him over? Out of respect for Walter''s status, however, he stepped up.


    "Were you the one cozying up to my wife earlier, trying to charm her?"


    Walter was seething just thinking about it.


    Matthew paused, then replied with brutal honesty, "I do have feelings for Ms. Evangeline, but I absolutely have not been ''trying to charm'' her. She and I sharemon interests, and it''s perfectly normal for


    us to have good conversations. As for what may happen in the future, if I''m fortunate enough to win her favor, then I''ll do everything I can to make her happy!"


    Ever since Matthew hadid eyes on Evangeline, he had tossed aside his quest for a lyricist, only wanting to really get to know her.


    When Evangeline was not around, he did not have a single other thought, just focused on crafting the perfect love confession.


    He never, in a million years, thought he would blurt it out like this!


    Evangeline never saw iting. They met for the first time, and she had already cast her spell over Matthew-an unexpected bonus! The firmer Matthew''s derations became, the more Evangeline''s excitement bubbled over, and the sweeter her triumph tasted. She shot Walter a smug look that screamed, "Notice this? I''ve got plenty of admirers, and each one''s a step up from you!''


    She was clueless to the fact that Matthew''s bold move had just poked the bear. Walter''spetitive side was fully awake. What was this guy thinking? Hitting on his wife right in front of him? That was practically a death wish!


    Walter would have taught him a lesson right then and there, had they not both been so obviously clueless.


    Walter yed it cool. "Is that so?" he said, his smile loaded with unspoken words. He lifted Evangeline''s chin and kissed her, a light touch that said everything "Too bad she''s already taken-she''s my wife." He made it look easy. Only he knew the effort it took to keep Evangeline''s silent protests in check, to pull off this showstopper in front of her admirer.


    In the next heartbeat, Walter''s re cut through Matthew like a knife. "Buddy, you think you can mess with what''s mine and not pay a price? With that, Walter let go of Evangeline and spun on his heel, walking as if he owned the ce Chapter 129
