However, what could he do? The thought of Julia, the thought of his true love Evangeline trapped by that witch, sapped all his will to care about his appearance. Walter slowly lifted his hand, brushing his chin.

Overnight, his face had sprouted a rough stubble, making him look worn and nothing like the dashing Mr. Walter Gordon of the Gordon family.

Was Walter the kind of guy Julia would be happy with?

He was not sure, but just putting on a clean shirt to see Julia who made his skin prickle was pushing it for him.

Walter kept his calm and did not bother calling the police. After all, when he was part of the mighty Gordon family, he did not need the police to handle a lady.
