Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 365

Chapter 365

However, Evangeline, who never wanted to step foot in the Gordon family's home, was oddly patient today. She spent ages chatting with Trey and did not even hint at leaving. Trey felt like he was about to lose it. Why did everything have to pile up today? If he did not have such a big thing to do, he would have been excited about Evangeline's visit! "Evie, it's getting pretty late, and hanging out with an old guy like me can't be all that exciting. Maybe you should hit up Walter?"

He knew Walter was off with some other girl at the moment. However, he was sure his no-good grandson would not be dumb enough to let Evangeline catch wind of his shenanigans

That was his way of passing the buck. If he could just get Evangeline to step out for a bit, he would have the freedom to do whatever he needed to do!

"Non

need, Grandpa, I actually like spending time with you."

The thought of even remembering Walter felt like a waste of time to Evangeline, so why would she reach out to him?

Besides, she spent so much time with Trey mostly because she felt guilty.

She had been ignoring Trey, who was about the same age as Cole, for too long because of her whims. At this moment, before she and Walter officially split, she wanted to make things right. There might not be another chance. "Think it's quite nice... Trey muttered Evangeline's words to himself, completely overwhelmed.

She was content, but what was he supposed to do then?

Thomas' face was getting more worried by the second. If he did not get moving, he was going to miss out on something major!

"Hey... Evie, Grandpa's not as spry as you kids anymore. After sitting around all afternoon, I'm really feeling it. I'm going to head back and get some rest. Your and Walter's room is all set; the nanny has kept it spotless. Just make yourself at home." Evangeline could not very well insist Trey stay up when he was clearly worn out, so she rose to her feet and helped the old man to his room.

However, Trey had a point. Hanging out with him could be boring, nothing like the non-stop chatter and cozy catch-ups she had with Cole.

After a whole afternoon of sitting. Evangeline was ready to kick back in her room too.

However, as soon as she walked in, Trey's pale face popped into her head.

What if he was hiding some health sca

just to keep her from worrying?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she got. However, Trey had said he needed his rest. She would be barging in on his downtime if she went to check on him then, right? Torn, Evangeline paced her room until she found herself at the window-and what she saw blew her mind.

Chapter 365

Trey, who had been all about needing rest and had been tucked into bed, was not resting at all. Instead, he was striding out of the villa, leaning on a cane.

Right outside, a sleek black jeep was waiting. With a little help from a guy in black, Trey hopped right in.

Trey had been out of the game for years, leaving the company in the hands of the next generation. He had not meddled in business since.

Since that was the case, where was he off to in such a hurry?

A chill ran down Evangeline's spine. Something must be up with Gordon Group.

If that was the reason, it made sense why Trey was freaking out.
