All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

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

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 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

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 scoffed and gave a dismissive shrug. "Come on, Mr. Walter Gordon, we're both smart here. Why play these games with me? But hey, even if you try to hide it, I'm not buying it."As she spoke, Minnie tried to stay composed, but inside, a storm was raging. She could not stand the thought that while she was gone, Walter could actually fall for that wretched Evangeline.Even so, she had to ask. Walter's coldness made her fear she might never get another chance."Believe what you want. It's your head, your thoughts. I'm not here to control them, and I sure don't owe you any explanations," Walter replied, keeping it frustratingly vague.Admitting he liked Evangeline in front of Minnie was a no-win situation. Plus, he knew all about Minnie's conflict with Evangeline. With Evangeline carrying their child, the last thing he wanted was to turn Minnie into an enemy. If things went south, he would never forgive himself."If you're just here to grill me with pointless questions, then you
