Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
316

Chapter 316

Evangeline just shrugged and rolled her eyes at Walter.

'I warned you to make the most of your time, but you wasted it. Now look who's back?' she thought, her scornful glance saying it all. Walter got the message loud and clear.

However, before he could react, he grabbed Evangeline's wrist, yanked her into the bathroom, and slammed the door shut behind them.

Evangeline blinked, realizing she was trapped in the bathroom with Walter.

"Come on. If Uncle Yale's back, he's back. What's the big deal with hiding?"

ngeline gave an inward sigh of exasperation. If Walter did not want to face him, he could have hidden ne. Why drag her, the owner of the villa, into this? Walter clamped a hand over her mouth and whispered urgently in her ear, "Shh! I followed Yale here. It'd look terrible if we got caught, wouldn't it?" Evangeline frowned in annoyance.

She had expected Walter to have some clever plan, not... stalking!

Then again, something else did not add up. Yale was no ordinary guy; he was a retired special ops soldier. Would he not notice if he was being tailed?

A chill ran through Evangeline's heart.

Was Yale onto Walter's sneaky tailing and had led him on a wild goose chase?

"Ugh," Evangeline whimpered as she struggled.

Walter, for once, showed a bit of understanding.

"You want me to let go? Think you can zip it?" he whispered.

Evangeline nodded furiously, her eyebrows dancing with the effort.

Hiding in her own house like some sort of burglar was a joke!

"We really don't have to camp out in the bathroom," she murmured, eyeing the door warily.

Imagine if one of those two needed a bathroom break. They would be found out!

"How about I show you a sweet spot if you're okay with it?"

Evangeline was not exactly being charitable. Walter being discovered did not really shake her world. No, she was all about catching the latest scoop on Roslyn and Yale. Walter looked skeptical, but the determined Evangeline threw up three fingers in a scout's honor promise.

They crept up to a hidden nook on the second floor. Tucked beside the nook was a window-a front-row seat to the courtyard drama.

Evangeline was not about to give up that prime spot. She nudged Walter aside and glued her eyes to the scene, shooting him a "shush" for good measure.

Down below, Roslyn and Yale emerged from the garage. Both were frowning.

Roslyn stormed ahead, hands empty and face stormy. Yale, who was usually level-headed, was lugging a bunch of stuff, darting away like he was trying to dodge raindrops. Was that a guilty conscience she saw?

Evangeline smirked mischievously. She had never seen Yale look so flustered!

"Tsk, tsk..." She rested her chin on her hand, making a sound without even realizing it.

Next to her, Walter chimed in, not bothering to sugarcoat his words. "What's got you laughing so joyfully?"

specially with those crafty eyes of hers, Walter could not just look away even if he tried.

Yet, this side of Evangeline also piqued his interest. Towering over her with his height, Walter scooped Evangeline up by the waist, spun her behind him, and then leaned against the window to take a peek himself.
