If Evangeline was not affectionate enough, Cole would definitely get suspicious. However, if she laid it on too thick, how would she handle her own feelings? She had just managed to steady her heart...

She absentmindedly rubbed her belly.

The baby was too little to interact with her yet. However, she could feel every beat of her baby's heart. The bond of blood was just that powerful.

All of a sudden, she realized...

Perhaps it would be appropriate to say she was playing a part in a drama.

She might not be in love with Walter, but that did not mean their kid should not love his dad. She could not deny her child the right to his father's love... Winter mornings sure liked to take their sweet time showing up.

By seven, the sky was barely blushing with the first light. Walter's ride, there to scoop up Evangeline, was already waiting downstairs, far ahead of time.

In the biting cold of winter, he just stood there, silently watching the window of Evangeline's room.

Julieta was notified of who Walter was, and she was not exactly his fan. Still, she went down to greet him, because manners.

"Mr. Walter Gordon, the miss is still catching some sleep. I'll go get her up."

"No rush, Julieta. We're ahead of schedule. I got here too early," Walter replied without missing a beat.

He had done his homework, all for Evangeline and the little one on the way.

Evangeline was right in the middle of morning sickness. The roughest patch of pregnancy, and catching any sleep was a big win.

"I'll hang tight right here..."

Julieta eyed Walter up and down.

His fancy camel coat looked cozy, but it was no match for the winter wind....

However, there he was, willing to freeze a bit if it meant Evangeline could sleep in a little more.

Was he putting on a show?

Julieta never got the lowdown from Evangeline about Walter's faults, but the gossip rags sure did not hold back. Playing dumb was not an option for her. "No worries. The miss told me to wake her if you showed up early."

Julieta did not waste a second and went upstairs.

Walter was left shivering in the chilly breeze, scratching his head in confusion. Did Evangeline, the nanny, not have the manners to invite him in to get warm? Chapter 515

Truth was, Evangeline had been up for ages and had even gotten dressed super early. She had not come down because she was busy in front of the mirror, working on her smile.

She was trying to perfect the smile she would give Walter when Grandpa Cole was watching. She never thought she would have to practice something like that.

Her smiles for Walter used to burst out naturally, a true show of her feelings. However, things had changed. She found herself feeling calmer around Walter. What if her grandfather picked up on that?

Julieta tapped lightly on the door. "Miss, Mr. Walter Gordon is here."

"Okay, got it."

Evangeline gave the corners of her mouth a little pull, managing a pretty clear smile, then quickly stood

1. up.

She had not eaten breakfast yet. Fortunately, Julieta was the caring type, and she would not dream of letting Evangeline skip the most important meal of the day. So, they decided to let Walter in, and after Evangeline had her breakfast, they would all head over to the Foster family's old place.

In the dining room, Evangeline slowly savored the plain oatmeal Julieta had whipped up.

On the shiny porcelain plate, the adorable little buns were not just a feast for the eyes-they were also sending out waves of tempting aroma, making Evangeline's mouth water.
