"Caden, you've had quite a bit to drink too. Why not crash here tonight and head back tomorrow?"Caden and Walter had been inseparable since childhood, often having sleepovers at each other's places. However, as they grew up, those days became rare.Caden massaged his temples, weighing the odds of a peaceful night's stay…Skipping one night at home would not be a big deal, would it?With that thought, Caden cautiously asked Aria, "I can't remember the last time I crashed here. Mind if I stay over?"Aria chuckled. "Stay if you want to. It's not like it's your first time."She waved over a servant. "Show Mr. Scott to the guest room."After saying goodbye to Caden, Aria headed to Walter's room.The wedding dress photo on the wall caught her eye, and then her gaze fell on her son, who had lost so much weight he was barely recognizable. Her heart ached for him.Evangeline had returned the bracelet to the Gordon family, signaling the end of her engagement with Walter. They were boun

"Walter is here? Take a seat." Trey glanced up from his busy work and nodded toward the chair across from him.Walter sat down, steeling himself for the storm of anger he was sure would come from Trey.To his surprise, Trey just fiddled with the ring on his finger and kept on making coffee.It was not until he poured the third batch into a cup and set it in front of Walter that he finally said, "Walter, give the coffee a try. I've been working on his brewing skills. Notice any improvement?"'Grandpa had called him over with such urgency just to... taste coffee?'With Trey looking on expectantly, Walter picked up the cup with a puzzled look and took a cautious sip.He was not exactly a coffee connoisseur. He ate merely to fuel his body, to keep up with the demanding pace of work at Gordon Group.The coffee swirled on his tongue, but Walter, being no expert, could not pick up any hint of sweetness or a pleasant aftertaste, just a strong bitterness that made him instinctively frown

Walter was at a loss.He wondered if he could convince Trey that he kept Minnie around just to check out her background. However, the disgusted look on Trey's face said it all. The rumor mill had already done its work, and Walter was the bad guy who had let Evangeline down. It felt like he could plunge into the depths of the ocean and still not wash away the gossip."Not get involved?" Trey let out a bitter laugh. "I stayed out of it before, let you two figure things out on your own. And what happened? You've hurt our Evie so badly for those women. If I don't step in now, what's going to happen to my great-grandchild?"Trey knew all too well the weight of their family's name. The Gordons ruled the South, the Fosters the North, and that did not come from sitting back. The Foster family's empire was every bit as grand as the Gordons', and beyond the city limits of Avalon, the Fosters were even more of a big deal.Would the Fosters ever really let the Gordons raise their kid? That was

Evangeline, having rested well throughout her observation period, was finally cleared to leave the hospital.Roslyn had to dash back for the launch of her new show and could not skip the press conference.Celina and Julieta had been by Evangeline's side, taking turns to care for her. On discharge day, they had everything packed and ready to go early.Evangeline's five uncles were huddled awkwardly in the hospital room, watching two ladies pack up, exchanging helpless glances as they waited.Catching the uneasy looks on their faces, Evangeline could not help but feel a twinge of guilt. "I'm just getting out of the hospital. Why did you all show up?" she asked, her voice tinged with embarrassment.Her uncles had always doted on her, but their overwhelming concern only made her heart heavier. It was not just about them; it was the way their love seemed to echo with memories of Cole.Cole, the one who had cherished her more than anyone else, was gone. The thought alone was enough to

Evangeline had been in Yale's life for two decades, and she could count on one hand the times he had smoked.She wondered… Could this be about Roslyn, his best gal pal?"I get where you're coming from, but Uncle Yale, life is too short, and happy moments are even shorter."Yale had always been logical, but if he was that way about feelings, when was he going to let himself be happy?"Happiness is staring you in the face, ready for the taking. If you keep dragging your feet and miss out, won't you be kicking yourself later?"Roslyn might say she and Yale were never going to happen, but Evangeline knew better. Women understand women, and it was clear as day that Roslyn was holding out for Yale. However, who would have guessed…Yale's gaze darkened, a storm of anger brewing just beneath the surface."Evie, did someone tell you something?"If Roslyn had been spreading lies to Evangeline, he would not let her off easy.He had made it clear before: Evangeline was his line in the san
