Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 236
Yale had downed too much alcohol, and the dim room lights and his own instincts kept him on the edge of consciousness, his eyes refusing to open.In his haze, he felt the gentle touch of cool hands lifting him onto a soft surface. The chill from the water cup tingled his senses, and then the water began to trickle into his mouth.Parched, he gulped down the water eagerly, following the gentle motions of the girl feeding him, until the cup was empty. She took the cup away, asking with a caring tone, "Want more? I can get you some.""No more," he mumbled, frowning slightly.That voice—why did it sound so familiar?Roslyn's heart raced as she held Yale, who was utterly defenseless in her arms. He was drunk, and it was the perfect chance.'Roslyn, you love him, don't you? Even if you can't win his heart, having him just this once would be enough, right?' Roslyn asked herself.The thought was so bold it scared her. She was going mad, driven by her love for him!If she could just be

"Roslyn, come on, don't make me lose respect for you, okay?" Yale's eyes were icy, and Roslyn felt like she was being frozen solid under his chilly stare."You... Yale, that's way too harsh!" The hurt she had been bottling up came flooding out, and Roslyn could not hold back her tears any longer. Nevertheless, she would not let Yale see her cry. She dashed back to her room, dove under her covers, and cried without making a sound.She was so quick that she did not even bother with her shoes. In the dark, her tears soaked the blanket, but she did not care to dry them.What was she supposed to do? Being sweet and docile did not work, being bold and forward did nothing, and even her all-out attempt to woo him for just one magical night was failing! Yale was just impossible, and it was shattering her heart! This old guy, could she just decide she was done with him? As soon as she thought about it, a sharp pain in her heart answered her.Angry at herself, she thumped her chest. Patheti

"Roslyn, are you sure you can hit the set looking like that?"If Roslyn was not up for acting, maybe a sick day would do her good."I have to go back," said Roslyn, shaking her head with a grimace of distaste. "Coral, that drama queen, made me promise last night that I'd be back today! I'm so over her! The minute I get back, I'm going to ask the company to give me a new agent!"Coral Ford was the notorious agent Roslyn always complained about.Evangeline knew better. Roslyn was just blowing off steam. If she actually got rid of Coral, she would be the first to regret it."Come on, you get mad and talk about ditching Coral, but who's been by your side all these years? Grow up a little, will you? If you can make it to the set, then go. If you can't, Coral cares too much to ever make you work when you're sick."Evangeline's words were full of confidence.She had met Coral, a rare gem of an agent who truly had Roslyn's best interests at heart."It doesn't matter if she pushes me or
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 239
After what went down last night though, Yale was not so sure what was going on in Roslyn's head anymore.Before Evangeline could even get a word in, Roslyn chimed in, "Evie, if you're tired, just head back and get some sleep. I'll hitch a ride with Uncle Yale."…In the white BMW, Yale fired up the engine from the driver's seat and watched Roslyn wave goodbye to Evangeline before sliding into the seat beside him.As the door shut, a voice as cold as a robot's snapped, "Strap in."That was when it hit Roslyn that she was riding in Yale's car, where everything had to be by the book.She obediently clicked the seatbelt into place and waved to Evangeline through the rolled-down window.The car zipped off, the roar of the engine nearly drowning out the world.Inside the car, insulated from the noise, it was dead quiet.Roslyn was not in the mood to chat, and Yale was at a loss for words.It was odd. After all, Roslyn's presence usually meant there was never a dull moment.Last ni

Roslyn loomed above him, her eyes a mesmerizing shade of sea-glass blue, locking onto his intelligent gaze before drifting downwards. The sensation at his lips was warm, tender, and tingling, as if a current passed through them, sapping Yale's strength in an instant.The kiss deepened, and the subtle hint of lemon from her lips was intoxicating, making Yale's eyes flutter shut without him even realizing it. His breaths grew heavier and more urgent.Yale tried to resist, but Roslyn's embrace tightened, drawing them closer until they touched in a way that left them both vulnerable. Roslyn, caught in her own mischief, froze for a moment, her cheeks flaring up into a bright, eye-catching red. She threw caution to the wind and dove in for another kiss. Seizing the moment of his startled gasp, she playfully flicked her tongue, inviting him to join her in the dance.Then, a pair of strong hands came to life, not to push her away, but to draw her even closer, pressing her lips down further.
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 241
Yale had always been careful not to hurt Roslyn's feelings, choosing his words with care even when he was laying down the law. This time, faced with her tearful eyes and the weight of the moment, Yale's restraint shattered. He could not believe it had come to this, and he could not bother with being gentle anymore."Niece?" Roslyn echoed his words, her eyes puffy and red as if she had been crying for hours. "Are you still trying to fool both of us? You say you think of me as a niece, but does a niece's embrace stir anything in you?"Alright, you've made your feelings crystal clear. I get it. I'll just keep my distance from now on!" Roslyn had her own pride, but for Yale, she had crushed it to smithereens, all for a single smile from him. She had tried everything, even throwing herself at him, but nothing worked. She was done.The car door slammed shut, leaving Yale alone with the fresh lemon scent that Roslyn had left behind. Life in the army, surrounded by tough guys, had not prepa
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 242
Unbeknownst to them, Walter, face burning up, stumbled downstairs for a drink and heard the entire phone call clearly.Was Evangeline going to show up at the old Gordon place?"Cough, cough..."He was feeling pretty run-down, and a couple of instinctive coughs managed to snag Trey's attention."Walter, how are you holding up? Feeling any better?" Trey asked, all worried.Walter took a gulp of water and sat down next to Trey. "I'm doing okay, Grandpa. No need to fuss over me."He scooted over on purpose, and it was not just to give his grandfather a health update."Did I hear you right? You invited Evangeline over for a family dinner?"Being sick was making Walter feel all kinds of vulnerable. His head was pounding, and just the thought of Evangeline showing up stirred up feelings he could not quite put into words.Would Evangeline pity him if she saw him all weak and helpless? Maybe enough to reconsider the divorce?"Yeah," Trey grumbled. "It's because you couldn't cut it whe
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 243
Stepping out of the car, Evangeline's gaze landed on Walter. His cheeks were tinged with an odd flush, his face set in a blank mask, lips pressed into a thin line. He had this vibe about him, like he was silently warding off everyone.Evangeline figured he must be annoyed by something and made a mental note to steer clear of him at tonight's family dinner. Their divorce was just around the corner, after all, and there was no point in stirring up emotions. Plus, tonight was all about Alex, the guy she had always looked up to like an older brother. She was not about to let Walter hog the spotlight.So, what happened next was no surprise.Walter stood tall and straight, right beside Alex, who was in his wheelchair.Evangeline, with the Winnie the Pooh bear in her arms, made a beeline for Alex."Alex, it's been ages!" Her face lit up with a warm smile as she gracefully placed the bear on Alex's lap. "Check out the gift I picked for you. You like it?"Evangeline always had these deep
