Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 381

Chapter 381

At least he, Walter, had been true to his heart, his emotions crystal clear

The night stretched on forever, and Walter had no clue when he had died of all he meets when he opened his eyes, daylight flooded in through the window

He bounced back quickly, as young folks do. After a whole night of face planting into his CARE HOUS finally roll onto his side, a bit more comfy

As he wrestled with the sheets, a maid who had been sticking close to Trey nigrond say "We Mater Gordon, Mr. Trey Gordon sent me to let you know Mrs. Gordon is coming You might wanna get restl Walter's heart did a somersault.

His Mrs. Gordon? That was Evangeline and no one else

Was Evangeline really coming to see him?

He rubbed his ear, his eyes wide as saucers.

"You're saying... who?"

Evangeline... Why on earth would she come to see him?

The maid could not help but chuckle at Walter's dazed look. "It's Mrs. Gondon, Evangeline from our own Gordon family. Who else? Mr. Gordon wouldn't have sent me running if it wasn't mooram. He als mentioned that spouses shouldn't hold grudges overnight. A good talk can clear up any issue. You're the smartest person around, so I'm sure you'll get the gist of it

Seeing Walter's blank expression, the maid took charge "Just hang tight. Mr. Walter Gordon. I grab a towel to freshen you up."

Even though Evangeline was family, Walter's disheveled state was still a bit much

Propped up against the pillow, Walter tried to sit up, a weak, pale smile on his lips

Overnight grudges? The feud with Evangeline felt endless, and he had no clue where to start untangling

Unbeknownst to them, that couple, always out of sync was finally hitting the same emotional note

Evangeline, sitting next to Trey, was a mix of confusion and worry. Words failed to capture her feelings Deep down, she felt detached from Walter, believing life and death were ip fate's hands, not something to

fret over.

However, to keep Cole from worrying, she ended up back at the Foster place, thanks to Yales convincing

She tried to play it cool with Cole's concern, but her nerves betrayed her. Thankfully, Holden stepped in with a few words, and Cole's suspicions were eased

The reason she had come to the Gordon's was wrapped up in one unspoken sentence.

Holden, trying to explain away Evangeline's gloom, had said to Cole about Walters accident. Cole jumped to the conclusion that Evangeline was worried sick about Walter, and that was why he had rushed her over to Gordon's place. +25 BOHUS

However, facing Walter was another story. How could she confront the guy who stirred up such a storm of love and hate, hope and heartache in her?

Trey had seen it all before. He could tell Evangeline was miles away in her thoughts.

Whatever was eating at her, he chose to believe that Evangeline's worry was all for Walter's sake.

"Evie, that knucklehead brought it on himself. I gave him a plece of my mind yesterday. Don't lose sleep over him. You've got to look after yourself now, because you've got a little one on the way, you hear?"

"I hear you, Grandpa," Evangeline murmured, her eyes downcast, her head bowed a little more to shield the storm of feelings inside.

Despite Trey's words, she had a mission to complete-seeing Walter. She had lingered long enough, and it was time to say goodbye.
