"Oops, looks like your date dashed off. You might still catch her if you hurry."It was true, Evangeline's sudden arrival had interrupted their cozy moment. Ever so considerate, she even pointed out the way Julia had gone.However, whether Walter would go after Julia was none of her business. Having given him a friendly tip, she headed straight for the restroom.What she did not realize was that Walter, standing at the doorway, was wrapped up in thoughts of Evangeline. It was not until she disappeared into the restroom that he snapped back to reality and remembered just how important Julia was.Torn between his feelings for Evangeline and his responsibility toward Julia, Walter made a snap decision. He strode quickly to the corner, hoping to spot Julia.The long hallway was deserted, except for a waiter poised at the entrance, ready to take orders. Not a single stranger was in sight.Then, out of nowhere, a man cloaked in black, his identity hidden, suddenly came into view.Walt

Evangeline's eyes found Walter again, taking in his face that seemed to have aged beyond his years. Her feelings were everywhere. "If there's nothing else, I'm going to head out," she said, ready to walk away."I need to talk to you," blurted Walter, stepping in front of her. However, as their eyes met, he was at a loss for words. Should he tell her how much he missed her? It just did not seem right, not at that moment."You just lost a child a few days ago. Shouldn't you be at home, resting up, instead of being out here?" He knew women needed time to recover after a miscarriage, so why was Evangeline acting like it was no big deal?"Huh?" Evangeline was stunned. Walter stopped her just to lecture her about her health?"My body, my rules. What's it to you?" She could not help but snap back, her irritation with Walter's meddling growing. "And what about you? Don't forget, you lost a child too. And here you are, a few days later, wining and dining with other women? You're some 'great

"Mr. Walter Gordon, Evie isn't into your vibe right now, so back off, will you?"Walter's gaze hardened.Given how things stood between him and Evangeline, Hank, the outsider, should not have had a say, especially not like that. However, Hank had spoken, and Evangeline had not objected.What did that mean? It meant she was okay with it all.So, Evangeline had a thing for Hank after all?First Alex, then Hank.He balled his hands into fists, silently telling himself… Why the heartache? It was never him in the picture.Right in front of Walter, Evangeline slipped her arm through Hank's with a cozy familiarity. "Hank, is our food here yet? I'm starving, let's head back and eat." Evangeline's voice was as soft and sweet as when she first married Walter.Her words lingered in Hank's ears, awakening the deep love he had tucked away in his heart. He smiled fondly and gently patted her hand, saying, "Okay, let's have dinner now."The pair, walking shoulder to shoulder, turned heads. W

Chapter 654

Hank's doubts were mostly about his parents, so much so that when they pushed him about getting married, he only gave them a vague answer.Then Cole died, and Evangeline lost the baby.He knew she must be devastated, but selfishly, a part of him was relieved.With the child gone, the last obstacle between him and Evangeline had vanished. Would it not be perfect for them to come together and for Evangeline to have their own kids someday?Hank was sure he could handle his parents' reaction to Evangeline's divorce. That was one less thing for her to fret about.He also knew springing the 'let's be together' talk on Evangeline out of the blue might send her running for the hills. So, he figured they would have to take things slow."So, Evie, what's up? What are you doing at home these days?" he asked casually.Evangeline thought about the overbearing housekeepers and her own life, and she smirked wryly. "What do you think? Living luxuriously, just eating and drinking and taking care

Their banter flowed easily, the air between them charged with warmth and excitement.Meanwhile, Walter sat in another room, his business deal done but his heart aching with loneliness.All he could picture was Evangeline, cozy and close with Hank.It was just like he had figured: Cole was gone, the divorce was final, and there was Evangeline, off to find her slice of happiness, leaving him alone with nothing but their old wedding photo and a heart full of what-ifs.Walter could only sigh, feeling the relentless grip of loneliness that haunted him day and night. What else was there to do?The networking event was over, and Walter said goodbye to the female executive before driving off from Morning Star Hotel alone.A true workaholic, Walter hardly ever ducked out of work early. However, he had zero desire to head to the office.…Crystal Waters House.His black Rolls Royce zoomed by, stopping right in the middle of the courtyard.Walter eased the car door open, unfolded his lo

The last thing Walter wanted was a call from James.James, a star lawyer, had only one reason to call himself: to put an end to his and Evangeline's marriage. He was not about to let Walter play dumb."Mr. Walter, let's skip the small talk," said James, preferring to keep things strictly business.At the office, he was just James, and he was not fond of Walter's attempts to be friendly.However, considering the bombshell he was about to drop, James figured it was not worth getting worked up over Walter."I'm calling to let you know that Ms. Evangeline has given me full control over the divorce. I'll be your point of contact for anything related to it. I've sent the divorce terms to your company by courier, so keep an eye out," James informed him."Got it," Walter replied, resigned.He knew that was coming. Evangeline had made it clear that waiting for a mutual divorce would take ages, and suing was the faster route. What more was there to say?"Once you get the mail, you've got

James set his phone aside and, as if they were the only two people in the world, explained to Evangeline, "Just some newbie at the firm, a legal assistant who can't seem to get even the simplest things right. It's driving me up the wall, honestly."Evangeline had caught wind of that new assistant, and she was puzzled.James was practically a legend in the legal field, and he was fussing over a bumbling assistant?If their performance was not up to the required standard, would it not be easier to just let them go? Why was James spending his precious time, painstakingly coaching them on their job?Unless…A mischievous idea popped into Evangeline's head. With a sly grin, she softened her gaze at James. "What's so bad about being a bit clueless? It's endearing, isn't it?"With a look that was both inquisitive and loaded with implication, Evangeline asked in a tone rich with suggestion, "Uncle James, can I ask if this bumbling legal assistant is a guy or a girl?"They were standing

A spark of determination lit up Julia's eyes.She could not just stand by and watch those two fall in love. This was her opportunity to orchestrate a little drama for them…Just then, the bodyguard knocked and came in with permission. "Ms. Rearden, have you picked a flight yet? The boss's people are asking."Julia, already annoyed from her run-in with Walter, sat up on the couch and flung a pillow out in frustration. "Why the rush? I said I'd go back in a week, didn't I? When have I ever broken a promise?"Julia was already feeling frustrated because of her issues with Walter, and the bodyguard came in with even more irritating news!The bodyguard hesitated, then said with a resigned tone, "If you're still undecided, I'll let the boss know."Nobody else could decide when Julia would head back—that was up to her. Even the boss had to respect Julia's wishes."No, that won't be necessary."Julia knew that if she tried to bow out again, the phone would ring with another nudge from

"Oh, and make sure Walter comes alone. If he brings a posse, he might not get the chance to see me."Julia was not about to let any randoms mess up her master plan. Walter was hers for the taking.…"Achoo!" Walter, buried in paperwork, sneezed so hard that his spine tingled. He shivered, a sure sign spring was playing tricks with the weather.He glanced out at the street, then touched with hints of green, but his thoughts were all on Evangeline.Walter counted the days, wondering how Evangeline was doing. The last time he saw her, her lips were ghostly pale, a clear sign she was far from strong. Should he not swing by the Foster place to check on Evangeline?Then there was Julia.He had just gotten an invite from her, delivered by one of her minions. Julia, that wild card, wanted to meet him at Kronovia Royale Pub—alone.That was just fine by him. He had a burning question from the past that only Julia could answer.Ever since he found out Julia was not the one who saved hi

Chapter 660

Evangeline flashed a 'come-and-see' smile. "Go ahead and look, I'm an open book!"She was always a straight shooter with her friends.Except for that tiny bear keychain tucked away at Amberstream Riverbank, she had locked away all her secrets in her hideout. So, Celina had nothing to sneak around for.Celina flipped open the invite and her eyes instantly landed on two names she knew all too well."Julia, Walter..." She whispered under her breath, then her gaze swiftly shifted to Evangeline. "Ms. Evangeline, this invite... you're not actually thinking of going, are you?"It was clear to Celina what the invite was all about, and she was just worried about Evangeline.Evangeline's name was not on the invite, which screamed that showing up would be social suicide.She was sure Evangeline could read between the lines too.However, seeing Walter's name on the guest list threw her off a bit. Everyone knew Evangeline's heart skipped a beat for Walter."No way." Evangeline took a swig
