The devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 2]

Chapter 232 - A kiss as a greeting

The change in Walter's expression at the mention of Jennie did not go unnoticed by Taehyung. He has a hunch that Walter has feelings for Jennie and he got a confirmation and it's the sole reason Taehyung visited him today. But is he the stalker I am searching for?

"If I am not wrong, she is doing well with her health. What do you want to know about her?" asked Walter.

"Your relationship with her?" Quizzed Taehyung.

"Sad to hear that you are doubting your wife." Walter propped his hands in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"My love for my wife is unconditional, the same way that my respect and trust," specified Taehyung. Be it, Regina or Eleanor's efforts to crumble their relationship they stayed strong because of the trust they had for each other.

"Then why do you want to know about my relationship with her if you trust her so much?" Walter questioned back.

"Because I don't trust you," Taehyung added.

"I beg your pardon, Mr. Kim?"

"I don't go beating around the bush. Coming straight to the point, you have been secretly attending every fashion show, every Ad shoot of Jennie for the past three years. The question is what's your purpose of it?" Taehyung's voice remained calm as he spoke.

"Did you do a background check on me?" Walter fumed.

"If you hadn't followed behind my wife like a stalker, I wouldn't have gone this far." With scorn, he looked at Walter.

"Just because I have followed her, it doesn't make me the_"

Walter's words pared in his mouth when Taehyung threw a stack of pictures on his table. His eyes widened in shock. It was recently taken pictures where he was standing at a little distance from Jennie's office to catch a glimpse of her.

"I don't think you can come up with any excuses now." mused Taehyung. "Whatever your purpose is, I suggest you stop right now. Don't let you see the monster in me." Taehyung's voice was uncanny as he warned Walter. He got up and before he grabbed the doorknob to walk out, he heard a voice.

"I loved her, no, I still do." Walter's voice throbbed in pain as he spoke. He doesn't know when it started but Jennie has become one of the most important person in his life. The two years he has spent with her were the most valuable days of his life. Despite her hatred towards men, he confessed his feelings but as usual, received a blatant rejection but he did not lose hope. He was confident that one day, she would reciprocate his feelings but everything got shattered when he saw her in the arms of another man. If it was any other man, he would have warned to stay away but he didn't dare to trifle with Taehyung. Scared to confront her again, Walter been silently watching her in the shadows.

"She is the star I could never reach in my life." Walter's grip on one of the pictures tightened. "Treasure her, otherwise, there are many like me waiting for the opportunity to take her away."

"I locked her in safe of my heart and threw the key away." was the reply, from Taehyung before he strolled out of the room.

"Can I search for the key then?" Walter chuckled shaking his head. Kim Taehyung would come for my head if it happens."Why is the road to love hard." He sighed before opening the laptop to deviate his concentration.

Right when he walked out of the hospital, Taehyung called Nick. "What is Jennie doing?"

"She is working with a client. How did the meeting go?" asked Nick.

"I am still in dilemma about him." Taehyung added. "Ask our men to monitor Dr. Walter on a 24/7 basis from now."

"We are on it."
