Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 317

Chapter 317

Evangeline was absorbed by the scene unfolding before her when Walter rudely cut in, and she was not having any of it. "Walter! I found that spot first, scoot over!"

From the window, Walter caught sight of Roslyn and Yale approaching the villa, Yale's hands full of snacks.

That was pretty much it.

He stepped aside, letting her have the prime spot with a roll of his eyes, saying, "All yours! What's so great about it anyway?"

Evangeline quickly leaned forward to get a better look, only to replace the two standing at the villa's entrance, having a heated exchange. Roslyn, ever the spitfire, was pointing right at Yale's face as she spoke.

As they were too far to catch their words, Evangeline could only guess from Roslyn's fiery stance that this was no friendly chat.

What really surprised Evangeline was Yale's reaction.

With his status, women usually fell over themselves to please him. Who would dare to lose their cool in front of him?

All that, yet in the face of Roslyn's fiery tirade, Yale just stood there indifferently, showing little to no emotion.

Back in the day, Yale would have breezed through the front door without a second glance at anyone. Surprisingly, he simply stood awkwardly on the doorstep, enduring Roslyn's tirade. What was going on with these two? Evangeline could not help but get a thrill from the drama, her hands eagerly rubbing together.

Roslyn had reached her limit with Yale acting like an overbearing parent, and she was not shy about pushing back hard.

"Mr. Yale Foster, let me repeat myself: Please stop meddling in my life, will you?"

Her firm stance put Yale in an awkward spot, his pride taking a hit.

"Your life is yours to control, I'm just worried about your job."

Roslyn was around the same age as his niece, and he could not help but fuss over her a bit more.

However, Roslyn did not appreciate his concern. For every word he said, she had a comeback locked and

loaded.

With a cold laugh, Roslyn doubled down. "Alright, let me make myself clear once more: Stop butting into my life and job, got it?"

Yale was at a loss for words, "Okay."

Roslyn was just a kid, but not his kid, not a Foster. He really was overstepping.

Just as he finished speaking, however, he caught sight of her reddening eyes.

Seeing her so upset threw the usually stoic Yale off balance.

"Uh..." Did he say something wrong?

If his hands were not full of shopping bags, he would probably be nervously rubbing them together.

He just could not stand to see girls cry, and Roslyn, with her tear-streaked cheeks, was no exception. Before he could even get a word in, Roslyn cut him off. "Remember what you said just now, because next time we bump into each other, we're nothing but strangers!" Without a backward glance, Roslyn marched to the door, her fingers flying over the fingerprint lock to swing it open and slip inside.

Despite her cool facade, her heart was pounding like a drum, each thump loud and fierce, making her knees feel like jelly.

She had always believed she held a special place in Yale's heart.

However, after what happened back there...

She stealthily dabbed away the tears at the edge of her eyes and ground her teeth.

Maybe this was for the best. This way, she would not cling to any false hopes about Yale.
