Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 382
The old Gordon family home had undergone some obvious changes.Every hard corner had been cushioned with soft padding, and any dips or bumps in the floor had been evened out by skilled hands.No one had to tell Evangeline why. She knew those were all Trey's doing, baby-proofing the place for the little one she was carrying.Walking through the house, each alteration from her memories made her eyes well up with tears she fought to keep at bay.Evangeline had lost her mother at a young age, and with her father remarried, she never got to bask in the kind of love and attention she had craved. Sure, Cole and her uncles had showered her with affection later on, but she could not replace a lost childhood.Seeing her own child receive such love had filled her with a deep sense of relief.She had heard rumors e that Walter was still bunking in their wedding suite, so she picked up the pace. When she walked in, she spotted a maid in the middle of wiping Walter's face with a wet towel. The

When Evangeline saw Walter hurt, the ache that hit her heart was like a sucker punch—unexpected and impossible to shake off.She questioned herself, was she really nagging for Walter's sake?However, then, she locked eyes with Walter's, which were deep pools of smoldering anger."Evangeline, is there anything else you're dying to tell me?" asked Walter, disbelief etched across his face.He could not wrap his head around it. She was so gentle when she touched his face, so caring in every little thing she did for him. So why did her words sting like there was not a shred of softness in them?"Huh?" Evangeline blinked, her hand freezing mid-wipe. "Is there supposed to be something else?"What more could she possibly have to say to Walter at that point?Right then, the click-clack of high heels on the wooden floor outside grew louder and more insistent, step by step.Just as the footsteps stopped, the person they belonged to had already made it to their room."Evangeline, what bri

Evangeline's face lit up with a gorgeous smile as she rose from Walter's bedside. She crossed her arms and leaned casually against the wall, watching the two of them as if she were at the movies."Ms. Kast, you say Walter's name with such warmth. You two must be really close," she teased."Obviously," Minnie shot back.Flirting was Minnie's secret weapon against Evangeline. It was also the source of her confidence that she would always outshine Evangeline and keep Walter's affection.With Evangeline's snarky comment, how could Minnie not feel victorious?"That warmth is just part of the fun between husband and wife, Evangeline. For a powerhouse like you, it's okay not to understand these little things."Evangeline could easily read between the lines of Minnie's words. To put it nicely, she was a powerhouse. To put it bluntly, she was clueless about romance!Minnie felt like the bright light was just there to spotlight her supposed lack of excitement in the bedroom.Evangeline g

As Evangeline reached for the door, Minnie's mocking laugh cut through the air."I get what you're saying, Evangeline, but believing it is another story. Remember how you talked the first time we met? What happened instead? You silently got pregnant with Walter's kid. Does that sound like someone who wants a divorce? How naive must I be to keep taking your word for it?""Enough!" Walter's voice boomed, cutting off Minnie.He had kept quiet, wanting to see just how indifferent Evangeline could be.However, as her hand touched the doorknob, a wave of loss hit him like a ton of bricks. In that fleeting instant, he sensed Evangeline was gone for good.The explanation he had kept to himself was down to its last chance.Minnie picked up on Walter's annoyance and clamped her mouth shut, careful not to push him further.Then…"Evangeline, wait."Her name, called out so suddenly, made Evangeline freeze mid-step.Ignoring the bandages crisscrossing his back, Walter sprang from the bed.

As Evangeline turned around, she unexpectedly locked eyes with Walter.With Trey right there, she could not let her true feelings show like before and simply said in a courteous tone, "Walter, take care of yourself, okay? I'll come visit you when you're feeling better."Her voice was soft and gentle, but it carried no real warmth.Walter did not hear the loving concern of a wife in her words, but rather the forced politeness of someone doing what they felt they had to do.Trey watched Evangeline walk away and quickly gave his grandson a reassuring wave. "Walter, why are you just standing there? Evie's already left. Why didn't you walk her out?"Walter, nursing a sore back, was slow to move. He had just managed to catch up with Evangeline when her phone started to ring.Evangeline was surprised to get a call at that hour. She checked her phone and saw Alex's name. It had been ages since they had last spoken, so she quickly accepted the call."Alex? What's up? How come you're call

"It's deep into autumn, and you're out here in that thin jacket. What if you catch a cold? You're already hurt, and getting sick now would just be making things worse, wouldn't it?"It all unfolded with such ease, as if it was destined to be that way.Walter's gaze darkened as he looked at the concerned-looking Minnie.He was caught in a strange illusion, feeling as though Minnie had always been the woman by his side.Somehow, Minnie's face began to shift before his eyes. Feature by feature, it changed, until she was no longer Minnie but Evangeline.Her hair danced in the breeze, a rebellious lock of black hair teasingly clinging to her cheek, the ends brushing her lips.When their eyes locked, Walter's heart skipped a beat, gripped by an unseen force that left him breathless.Still, he did not want that moment to end.His mind was a whirlwind of wild thoughts, and he did not care who the woman really was. If he saw Evangeline, then to him, she was Evangeline.He reached out w

Walter's voice boomed, causing Minnie to shudder. She looked up, shocked, and met his eyes—so distant and detached."Walter, what are you trying to say? I don't understand," she stammered.Her eyes widened with a mix of confusion and innocence, unable to grasp the seismic shift in Walter's behavior.Had not Walter just caressed her face and tenderly fixed her hair? How could he suddenly act like she was a stranger?Walter had hoped to give Minnie the opportunity to be honest, but she continued to feign ignorance even when the moment of truth arrived. At that point, whether he pretended to believe her or not, it made no difference to him."If you're confused, let me put it another way, and you'll get it."Minnie, what are you really after, getting close to me like this?"The heir to the Gordon family's fortune was no one's fool. He could spot a hidden agenda a mile away. The only reason he had let Minnie hang around him that long was because he suspected there was more to her tha

Minnie had been super careful. Walter could not have figured it out!"What are you talking about? I have no idea..."Pretending to be clueless was Minnie's go-to move.However, this time, Minnie was backed into a corner with nowhere to turn, forced to stick to her guns no matter what came her way."You really don't know?" Walter asked, a playful smirk on his face as he leaned on one hand and with the other, pulled open a drawer in his study. He fished out a document and flung it down in front of Minnie."That's a pretty penny on the black market, right?"His tone was so laid-back. Even the smile tugging at his lips seemed so genuine, as if he were not the one who had been drugged."Should I be thanking you for splurging on me? You actually went all out and bought this pricey stuff for me?"Walter was done beating around the bush with her. It was just a waste of time.No matter who she was behind the scenes, he was eager to get that mess sorted out and win back the mother of hi
