SCANDALOUS: MRS. SALAZAR Chapter 31
The dinner stretched on, seemingly endless, much to Evangeline's dismay. With every sip of wine, Klein seemed to loosen up more and more, his laughter becoming louder and his jokes more frequent. Evangeline tried to keep up with the conversation, but as the evening wore on, she found herself growing increasingly exhausted.By the time they finished their meal, Klein was noticeably tipsy, his words slurring slightly as he spoke. Concerned for his well-being, Evangeline discreetly signaled to Klein's bodyguards for assistance. With their help, they gently guided Klein out of the restaurant and into the awaiting car.Despite Klein's inebriated state, he managed to mumble his gratitude as they settled him into the backseat. Evangeline gave a reassuring nod to the bodyguards before climbing into the driver's seat and starting the car.The drive back home was quiet and Evangeline glanced at him occasionally, his slumped posture and closed eyes was almost a sight unexpected to see.Once they

"Good morning," Klein replied, his smile genuine and welcoming. He turned away from the stove for a moment to give her his full attention. "Did you sleep well?"Evangeline nodded, feeling a sense of ease in Klein's presence. "Yes, surprisingly well, thank you," she replied, her voice soft. "And the smell coming from here is making me hungry already."Klein chuckled with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. "Well, I hope you're ready for a delicious breakfast then," he said, returning his focus to the cooking. "I'm making pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup."Evangeline's stomach rumbled in response, and she couldn't help but laugh. "That sounds amazing," she said.As the two chatted, Evangeline couldn't help but notice the change in Klein's demeanor. He seemed more relaxed, almost at ease, compared to his usual stoic self. It was a pleasant surprise for her to see this side of him."Is there anything I can help with?" she offered, stepping closer to the kitchen counter.Klein sho

As the days turned into weeks, Evangeline decided to keep silent about the marriage contract she stumbled upon in Klein's room.During this time, subtle yet significant changes occurred within Evangeline. Her once-flat belly now sported a small bump, a visible sign of the life growing within her. But beyond the physical transformation, her demeanor underwent a noticeable shift.Klein couldn't help but observe these changes in Evangeline. While she appeared outwardly unchanged to others, her interactions with Klein carried an undertone of unease and distance.One afternoon, as Evangeline indulged in an apple, Klein's gaze lingered on her, quietly studying her every move. As she sensed his scrutiny, Evangeline tensed slightly, aware of the weight of his gaze upon her.Klein broke the silence as he spoke up, his tone laced with curiosity and concern. "I've noticed you haven't accompanied me to the office ever since that last visit. Aren't you feeling restless staying at home?""I'm fine,

Jeremy's shock quickly morphed into anger as he processed Evangeline's revelation. He slammed his cup of coffee down on the table, his face contorted with fury."What do you mean it's Klein's?" he demanded, his voice rising with each word. "You're carrying his baby?"Evangeline recoiled at her brother's sudden outburst, her heart sinking as she realized that some people are glancing their way. "Jeremy, please, calm down," she pleaded, reaching out to him.But Jeremy shook off her hand, his eyes blazing with indignation. "Calm down? How can I calm down, Evangeline? You're pregnant with Klein's child! How could you let this happen?" He spoke and breathed in a whisper.Evangeline's own frustration bubbled to the surface as she stood her ground. "It's not like I planned this, Jeremy," she retorted, her voice tinged with defiance. "Things happen, okay? And besides, it's my life, my decision."Jeremy's jaw clenched as he struggled to contain his anger. "Your decision? What about the consequ

Evangeline's temper flared as she felt Klein's dismissive attitude towards Jeremy. As they walked towards the entrance of the house, she forcefully yanked her arm out of his grasp."Klein, you can't just treat people like that!" she exclaimed, her frustration evident in her voice. "Jeremy is my brother, and he was only trying to help."Klein turned to face her, his expression masking any hint of remorse. "I don't need anyone's help, especially not from someone who's clearly against me," he retorted coldly.Evangeline's anger surged at his callous words. "That's not the point, Klein! You can't just brush off people who care about me," she snapped, her tone laced with hurt.Though Klein's gaze softened slightly at the hurt in Evangeline's eyes, his pride kept him from offering an apology. Instead, he responded, "So now you're talking and looking at me?""Then don't touch me!" Evangeline angrily shouted, pulling away from him, but her sudden movement made her dizzy, and she stumbled.Kle

In the silence that followed Evangeline's plea, Klein's lack of response spoke volumes. His quiet demeanor conveyed his internal conflict, leaving Evangeline to interpret his unspoken words. With a sad smile, she accepted the truth and understood that perhaps Klein's heart belonged elsewhere."It's okay," Evangeline whispered, her voice tinged with resignation. "I know you're not ready for love or commitment, and maybe there's someone else in your heart." She nestled closer to him, seeking solace in his comforting presence."Let me stay like this for a while," she requested softly, finding comfort in the warmth of his embrace. Resting her head on his shoulder, she closed her eyes, allowing herself to succumb to exhaustion.As Evangeline drifted off to sleep in his arms, Klein carefully returned her to his bed. With a bitter expression, he settled in for the night.However, while he slept soundly, Evangeline quietly left the estate with all her belongings, driving off with her brother

"I know," he said with a smirk, amusement flickering in his eyes."It's my child. So forget about that contract," he added firmly."Let's get married."Evangeline was surprised at his words but she kept a calm demeanor. Although for her it felt like her heart was about to burst at any moment, but the voice inside her head was louder.All men are the same.Over and over again, that voice echoed in her mind.Taking a breath, she composed herself before responding."You've said you don't believe in love or marriage. Why propose now?" she asked, forcing a smile despite that pang of pain in her chest."Do you love me?" she added while her voice sounded uncertain.Klein's response caught her off guard."Is love necessary for marriage?" he retorted with bitterness evident in his tone.Forced to confront her own feelings, Evangeline replied with a forced smile. "Yes," she said simply, though her heart felt heavy."Then I love you," Klein confessed suddenly, surprising Evangeline.But his word

Evangeline stood in the midst of her explanation to the manufacturing team in the conference room. Her gestures were fluid and purposeful, accentuating key points in her discourse on quality assurance for aerospace products."And that's why every component undergoes a battery of tests to ensure durability and reliability," she stated, her voice projecting authority as she glanced at the presentation slides behind her.Several members of the team nodded in agreement, while others leaned forward, absorbed in her explanation."As you can see from these test results," Evangeline continued, pointing to a graph displayed on the screen, "our products consistently meet or exceed industry standards."She moved seamlessly between discussing technical specifications and practical applications. Her explanations were clear and concise, yet comprehensive enough to engage everyone in the room."And let's not forget the importance of our quality control measures," she added, emphasizing the critical

Chapter 81"You're glad? Is that all you have to say?" Evangeline asked, turning to face him with disbelief and frustration in her eyes.Klein's expression faltered, and for a moment, he seemed at a loss for words. He swallowed hard, trying to steady himself, but the hurt in his eyes was undeniable. "What else can I say?" he finally replied, his voice tinged with resignation. "I don't want to lose you, Evangeline. But if he's the one who makes you happy…"But Evangeline shook her head, cutting him off. "Stop it, Klein. Don’t pretend like this doesn’t affect you. I see it in your eyes—you're hurting. So why won't you fight for us, for me?"Klein looked down as the weight of her words pressed heavily on him. "Because… I don’t want to be selfish. I’ve already hurt you so much. If being with him means you’re finally at peace, how can I stand in the way?"Evangeline's frustration grew. "But that’s just it. You’re assuming I want to be with someone else. That I’ve moved on, that I’m not sti

Chapter 80After that night, days went on just like that. Klein left Lydia behind to help Evangeline with the triplets and it was a gesture that spoke more of his growing understanding than words ever could. He hesitated to leave, lingering in the doorway as if uncertain whether to stay or go, but he knew what he had to do. With a heavy heart, Klein returned home to manage his company, taking the first steps back into his old life. But this time, everything felt different.Klein wasn’t just returning to work, he was giving Evangeline the space she needed. He didn’t want to crowd her or push her into a decision she wasn’t ready to make. He wanted her to see that he was serious about making things right—that he was committed to being the man she and their children needed. For once, he wasn’t thinking only of himself, his guilt, or his desperation to make amends. He was thinking about her, about what she deserved, and how he could be the one to give it to her if she would allow it.Every
SCANDALOUS: MRS. SALAZAR Chapter 79
Chapter 79Evangeline gently handed each of the triplets their milk bottles with practiced but weary movements. Klein stood nearby and watched with both awe and amusement. He couldn’t help but marvel at how she managed to juggle three one-year-olds on her own. The sight stirred a sense of regret within him as he was struck by the realization of how much she had been carrying alone and how he had failed to be there for her.Evangeline’s mind, however, was elsewhere. Her eldest, Xander, was inconsolable and was crying in a way he never had before. No matter how much she tried to comfort him, he wouldn’t stop, and the anxiety gnawed at her. Something was wrong, and it scared her.Klein watched her who was already giving out an anxious vibe and immediately asked. “Is he okay?”Even though she was still quite mad at Klein, Evangeline managed to glance up at him, her face pale and strained. “I don’t know,” she admitted, her voice trembling with worry. “He’s never cried like this before.

SCANDALOUS: MRS. SALAZAR Chapter 78
Chapter 78“Klein... W-what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?” Evangeline stuttered nervously as Klein began to walk toward her. What confused her more than the fear of facing her ex-fiance was the look in his eyes. There was no trace of the hatred or disgust he had shown her weeks ago. Instead, his eyes were filled with a longing that she couldn’t understand, and it scared her.The sight of Klein’s intense gaze only heightened her fear. She had closed her heart to him after being hurt so many times before, and now, seeing this unfamiliar emotion in his eyes made her feel vulnerable. Her back hit the wall as she tried to retreat, her breath quickening. She glanced desperately around for a way to escape, but Klein moved swiftly, slamming his hands on the walls, effectively caging her in.Klein’s expression twisted in anger as he demanded, “Who was that man with you? You took our children into his house? How could you, Evangeline? And here I am, ready to apologize, but yo

Chapter 77“Would you like to have dinner with me? You can bring the three as well.” Kenji suddenly invited while Evangeline was busy grabbing Mikael’s hand, making sure he didn’t run off.“Uh… we don’t really want to disturb you, and the kids will really make a lot of mess,” she hesitated, letting out an awkward laugh. Kenji, however, dismissed her concerns with a warm smile.“It’s okay. What can three one-year-olds do?” he chuckled, sensing the hesitation in Evangeline’s expression. “Please?” he added, his tone light but persuasive.Evangeline looked at him for a moment, then laughed softly, surrendering with a smile. “Alright then.”“Great! I’ll pick you up at 7,” he informed her.“Do you know where my house is?” Evangeline asked curiously, noting his confidence.Kenji grinned, then recited, “1202 Maplewood Lane, right?”Evangeline blinked in surprise. “You really do know.”“How could I not? I’m a daycare teacher—I have my students’ addresses just in case,” Kenji said playfully. Ev

Chapter 76Evangeline settled comfortably on the patio of her favorite café, enjoying the soft morning sun that warmed her face. The gentle hum of the café’s early activity provided a soothing backdrop as she took a moment to savor her coffee. Her laptop was open on the table, and her airpods were snugly in place, creating a bubble of focus amidst the café’s light background noise.After dropping off her triplets at daycare, Evangeline was ready for her virtual meeting with the company’s investors. She glanced at the clock—precisely on time. As she opened her laptop and initiated the virtual meeting, her screen was immediately occupied with the faces of the investors.“Good morning, everyone,” Evangeline began warmly, “I want to start by apologizing for not being able to meet in person. As some of you know, managing triplets can be quite the challenge.” She chuckled softly, her humor met with understanding laughter from the group. “But despite it all, I assure you, SNCLR’s vision rema
SCANDALOUS: MRS. SALAZAR Chapter 75
Chapter 75Evangeline's days had become increasingly busy. With the triplets now beginning to walk, her chores seemed to multiply by the minute. Keeping up with three one-year-olds was no easy task. Each child had their own personality, adding to the delightful chaos of her days.Xander, the eldest of the three, was mature and quiet for his age. He rarely cried and often observed his surroundings with calm, inquisitive eyes. Mikael, on the other hand, was the cranky troublemaker. He had a knack for finding mischief, whether it was pulling on curtains or knocking over anything within reach. Maxine, the youngest, was the friendly, chattery little girl who loved to babble endlessly, her sweet voice filling the room with an infectious energy.Realizing that managing all three on her own was becoming overwhelming, Evangeline made the decision to take the toddlers to daycare. It would be good for them to interact with other children, and she could use the time to manage her responsibilities
SCANDALOUS: MRS. SALAZAR Chapter 74
Chapter 74Life went on for Evangeline, although the weight of her decisions felt heavy on her heart. Deep down, she knew she still loves Klein. But the pain of being forgotten by the man who once adored her was too much to bear. To protect herself, she chose to stay far away, focusing on her company overseas and her children. Although her presence was often needed, her staff understood her situation, granting her the space she needed to heal.Meanwhile, Klein dealt with his troubles differently. The gnawing truth he had uncovered fueled his anger, and Daphnie became the unfortunate target of his wrath."You can’t lie to me anymore, Daphnie," Klein growled, his voice thick with disgust. The tension in the air snapped like a taut string, and before Daphnie could react, Klein’s hand struck her cheek with a harsh slap. She gasped, stumbling back as her hand flew to her reddening face, eyes wide with shock."Stop coming back here," Klein continued, his words laced with venom. "If you ever
