Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 232

Chapter 232

Evangeline figured if she got the details, she might be able to help Roslyn figure something out.

'My own love life had crashed and burned, but if I could play matchmaker for my best friend and see her happily hitched, it'd be a silver lining.'

"Let's face it, the chances of me and him working out are pretty much nonexistent. Like he said, we're from two different worlds. How could we ever mesh? Oh, and I totally spaced on telling you, but he's like... eleven years older than me."

As Roslyn spilled her heart out, Evangeline was baffled at what kind of guy would be blind to the awesomeness of her bestie.

When she heard about the eleven-year age gap, it clicked.

"You know how they say three years is enough for a generation gap? You guys are eleven years apart; you're practically from different planets. With that huge of an age difference, can you really stick it out? I mean, when you were toddling around in diapers, he was alread She could not help but admire Roslyn's guts.

Never mind if her crush could turn into a fairy tale ending, just having the guts to fall for someone so much older was enough to win Evangeline's awe.

"I know!"

Roslyn tried to shrug it off, but then her emotions got the best of her, and she clutched Evangeline's wrist. "Evie, I'm head over heels for him! If he'd just say yes, I'd do anything!"

Evangeline let out a quiet sigh as Roslyn's voice filled the room.

"He just won't say yes. He keeps turning me down, telling me I'm too young, that I don't really know what I want. He's older and all he wants is to chill out and live his life, not get dragged into chaos by a kid like me."

The more Roslyn talked, the more worked up she got, holding onto Evangeline until she finally dozed off, tears still clinging to her eyelashes.

Evangeline could tell how much Roslyn cared about the guy.

It was a shocker, really. Roslyn was usually so cool about guys, and here she was, head over heels. Evangeline could not help but feel sorry for her. Unrequited love was a one-way street to heartache.

She knew that all too well from her own mess with Walter. She wanted to tell Roslyn to drop it, but having been there herself, the words just would not

come.

Roslyn was too caught up in the moment, and even knowing it was a dead end, she could not let go. It was the same stubbornness that had her set on marrying Walter, no matter what.

In the end, Roslyn had to figure it out on her own.

Evangeline gently freed her pajama sleeve from Roslyn's hold and slowly walked downstairs.

She had been dying to use the bathroom, but Roslyn had been pouring her heart out. Evangeline could not bear to cut her off, so she held it in.

Finally, she could take a break.

Not wanting to wake Roslyn with the noise, Evangeline decided to head to the downstairs bathroom and thought she would bring back a warm cup of water, too. Chante
