"And what of it? Walter, don't you realize that dodging today just means facing everything tomorrow? They might buy the songwriting excuse for now, but I'll bet you, in half an hour, even if Uncle Yale doesn't come up, Roslyn will. What then? "What will you do when you can't hide anymore?"

Evangeline was trying to goad Walter into releasing her, but she ended up giving him a reminder instead.

Walter had no desire to bump into Yale, so staying here was out of the question.

"No more hiding. Let's get out of here," he decided impulsively.

Evangeline scoffed. "What, are you blind?"

She gestured toward the stairs. "My Uncle Yale and Roslyn are in the living room. So, where to?"

If she wanted to slip away unnoticed, there was a back door to the villa. That being said, why on earth should she help Walter make a getaway?

Out of nowhere, Walter flashed a chillingly white grin, his smile dripping with malice. "Come on, I know about the back door, don't play dumb!" He reached out to Evangeline. "The keys, please.

"Why should I? You're the intruder here, not me. How can you be so bold to ask me for a favor?" Evangeline shot back with a defiant glare. "No keys? Fine, I'll just tell Yale you're dragging me here, that you were worried I'd get lost coming here "and had me sneak in with you..." He was practically inviting disaster!

She had already spilled the beans about this whole mess to her uncles. If Yale found out she was teaming

with Walter to trick him, what would that make her?

Evangeline clenched her teeth. "You're heartless!"

At the villa's back door, Evangeline and Walter crept out.

Having finally managed to get Walter to the gate without any drama, Evangeline folded her arms and kicked him out without a second thought. Walter was the one person Evangeline could not stand. Alas, he was clueless, always finding excuses to show up. It was exasperating!

She said with a tone as sharp as a knife, "Get lost, and don't you dare come back. You're the last person we want to see here!"

To her surprise, Walter cheerfully answered, "Sure thing!"

This villa might be stylishly luxurious, but it was not his place to call home. Why was he shacking up in someone else's fancy villa with his girl? As Evangeline's eyes widened in shock, Walter caught on to what she was thinking.

He did not give her a chance to protest. He lifted her by the waist as he took off running, his voice booming, "Then you're coming with me, like it or not!" Evangeline wriggled and squirmed in his grip. "Who says I'm going anywhere with you? Let go, you big oaf!"

However hard she tried, she could not break free from Walter's vice-like grip. Her hands might as well have been tickling him for all the good they did! "Evangeline, you're already caught. Why won't you just behave?" he teased.
