Walter had a good grasp of Evangeline's uncles' situation. Each one was a catch but without a girlfriend. which clearly meant they were not looking for love. Was this something Evangeline could change with a simple pitch?

"Come on, do I look like I have that kind of time on my hands? To play matchmaker for Grandpa's amusement?"

Evangeline shot Walter a sidelong glance, but the mernory of their little performance in front of Cole zapped her confidence. "Look, our mess is unique. I've pretty much given up on our shot at a happy ending, so let's just make sure the rest of the family gets theirs. If Grandpa ever gets wind of our drama, maybe the others' bliss will cushion the blow for him."

She was trying to give her grandpa an emotional Band-Aid before he ever needed it. Next on her list was to tackle the love lives of her uncles, starting with Yale and her best friend, Roslyn. The thought perked her right up, washing away the gloom.

However, Walter was hung up on the whole 'given up her shot at a happy ending' bit. His eyes clouded over with sadness. He wondered, if he told her they could still replace joy together, would she buy it?

"Evangeline..." he called out, desperate to spill his heart out to her.

Too bad Evangeline was not having any of it. "Walter, thanks to you, I'm expecting. And I'm grateful, really. She caressed her belly, her smile bittersweet. "But don't sweat it. Our baby-making deal still stands. This little one's all mine, and you're free to chase your own happy ending, no strings attached." She rattled off her words, cutting him off before he could dive in. It was her way of slapping a lid on the chaos inside her.

Evangeline harbored a mischievous devil in her heart.

This devil was a chatty little thing, always whispering sly suggestions in her ear. "Come on, you're into Walter, right? What's the harm in using a baby to keep him close? Mr. Gordon has a soft spot for you. Once he hears you're expecting, he'll have your back for sure. Walter wouldn't dream of leaving you then!"

Deep down, Evangeline knew this was true, but her conscience would not let her go down that road.

It was no secret that Walter's heart belonged to Julia.

Evangeline's past whims had cost them all dearly. She had the chance to make things right, and she could not let her stubbornness ruin her and Walter's chance at a happy future....

In the sleek office of the Gordon Group building, David studied Walter, whose usually knitted brows seemed permanently etched into his forehead, his face more solemn than ever.

David was clueless about what had happened. All he knew was that Walter had transformed overnight from a fiery dragon into an ice sculpture.

The kind of cold that induced shivering merely by standing next to him.

"David, you need something?" Walter's voice was light, but his gaze sent a shiver down David's spine, leaving him feeling like he was covered in a layer of frost.

"Nope, all good here. Anything you need, sir?"

Walter responded without words, simply pointing at the door.
