All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 341 - Chapter 350

A week's time…Had Yale not reminded her, the whole thing might have slipped Evangeline's mind.Between grappling with the news of her pregnancy and drawing a line with Walter, her mind was a whirlwind of worry. She dreaded the thought of her uncles and grandpa making a big fuss over her news.Thus, she gave herself a week to get her head straight before letting them in on her little secret."Isn't today just day seven? Why the hurry?"She had to count it out on her fingers to be sure Yale had not pulled a fast one on her."Evie, you have to talk to us sooner or later. Does one more day make a difference?"That was Holden on the other end of the line, chiming in.Evangeline did not hesitate with her answer. "Yes, it does! Tomorrow, I'm visiting Grandpa. Let's meet at the Foster family's old place."Evangeline had no clue that her offhand comment had sent her uncles into a frenzy of excitement."Did Evie get back to us?""Is she finally going to say something about being preg

Evangeline paused, finding it hard to continue, but she pushed on."You're aware of how my grandpa's health is. I think it's best if we're both there for this. So... would you come with me tomorrow?"Evangeline really did not have to ask like this.She could not help but feel that every struggle was worth it when she pictured her sick grandfather's face lighting up at the news of her baby's arrival."Sure, when should I swing by to get you?" Walter offered without hesitation.His eagerness caught Evangeline off guard. "You didn't even think it over?"She had wrestled with how to broach the subject with him, to the point where she lost her appetite."There's nothing to think about. It's been ages since I've seen him. Paying him a visit is the least I can do," said Walter with a firmness that left no room for argument. Nonetheless, his words carried a hidden weight that only he seemed to grasp."You do realize this isn't just a simple family visit. To convince Grandpa... we'll

Trying to ignore his rumbling stomach, Walter suddenly spotted a mouthwatering sandwich in front of him, and behind it, Evangeline's resigned expression."Mrs. Lewis packed these, worrying I'd get peckish on the road. Have one to hold you over."It was not that Evangeline was worried about Walter, in essence. She just felt bad for the guy—he was only this famished because of her.Walter shook his head. "No, you keep it."Evangeline was expecting, and if her nanny had thought to pack snacks, it meant she probably needed to eat frequently.He did not want to scarf down the sandwich and leave her hungry later.Walter did his best to keep his cravings in check, eyes glued to the windshield, watching the road. He even toned down his breathing to avoid being seduced by the scent.Evangeline knew he would not just take her word for it, so she pushed the sandwich into his hand."Go on, eat. Mrs. Lewis made plenty, and we won't miss one. We've got a bit before we'll get to eat at Grandp

"Oh, come on! Grandpa is not out of his mind. He knows how to look after himself. Right, Grandpa?" Evangeline teased, casting a playful glance at her grandfather.Cole quickly replied, "You bet. For my great-grandchild, I'll do whatever it takes to stay healthy."Laughter filled the room once more; the family's happiness was infectious.Amid the laughter, Evangeline took a moment to really look at her grandfather. He used to have streaks of black in his hair, but after his illness, it was all silver, making him seem so much older.Before she walked in, her uncles had whispered concerns about Grandpa's sharpness slipping. She had not believed them then. However, after just a few words with him, the playful, childlike glint in his eyes told her everything she needed to know.Cole was getting on in years, and the time for stubbornness had passed.Joyous moments always seemed to pass quickly. The Foster family was having a blast, and like they had all planned it, each person showed o

Walter had a good grasp of Evangeline's uncles' situation. Each one was a catch but without a girlfriend, which clearly meant they were not looking for love. Was this something Evangeline could change with a simple pitch?"Come on, do I look like I have that kind of time on my hands? To play matchmaker for Grandpa's amusement?"Evangeline shot Walter a sidelong glance, but the memory of their little performance in front of Cole zapped her confidence. "Look, our mess is unique. I've pretty much given up on our shot at a happy ending, so let's just make sure the rest of the family gets theirs. If Grandpa ever gets wind of our drama, maybe the others' bliss will cushion the blow for him."She was trying to give her grandpa an emotional Band-Aid before he ever needed it. Next on her list was to tackle the love lives of her uncles, starting with Yale and her best friend, Roslyn. The thought perked her right up, washing away the gloom.However, Walter was hung up on the whole 'given up h
