Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 231

Chapter 231

Roslyn's eyes gleamed as Evangeline announced, "I've got the perfect place. Let's hit the road." They had never been there, so Evangeline and Roslyn packed some tasty treats and set off for their new hideaway. It turned out that the Emerald of the Highlands really lived up to its name.

Nestled by the sea, the Eastgate District was a slice of heaven, with postcard -perfect views and year-round spring vibes. Even in the fall, the place was lush with greenery, like something out of a fairy tale.

Evangeline, with a little help from the security guard, pulled her car into the driveway and took a good look at the villa Yale had gifted her.

The place was sleek and modern, with each brick screaming luxury. Even the simple swing in the yard was crafted from the finest wood.

Stepping inside, the villa's interior was just as stunning. Every room was decked out with all the bells and whistles, spacious and bright, with lavish decor and furniture that was both plush and classy. Every detail was just about perfect, showing just how much care had gone into making this house a home.

Evangeline settled onto the couch, taking in every inch of the place, soaking up the warmth that Yale had wrapped around her with this gift.

Evangeline was sure Roslyn was a total catch. Thus, when she voiced her concerns, she had to add, "That showbiz world is a mess. Just make sure you don't get so caught up in the glitz that you miss out on real love, okay?"

She did not want Roslyn to end up with another actor, but replaceing someone outside that crazy bubble seemed difficult.

What Evangeline did not realize was that her offhand comment had hit a

nerve.

"Who says I'm caught up in anything?" Roslyn's eyes suddenly clouded over with sadness. "I've had a crush for ages. If it wasn't for him, do you think I'd have waited this long to dive into acting? The director told me the lead role would have some pretty cozy scenes. Even I've been stalling."

why her agent, in a bold move to nudge her forward, snagged her a part in a drama without asking first. Roslyn was dead set against it and even had a blowout fight with her agent that almost ended their

partnership. In the end, she gave in to the pressure. What was the point of trying to date someone who did not even see her?

Evangeline had never imagined that the usually upbeat and easygoing Roslyn could be so saddened. She had not even known Roslyn had someone special in her life. It seemed like she had been too wrapped up in her own drama with Walter to notice Roslyn's heartache.
