Chapter 751

Roslyn had to double-check her surroundings, half-convinced she had stumbled out of the wrong room in her groggy, just-woke-up state.However, no, that was definitely her room. She had not made a mistake."I came to wake you up," said Yale, smoothing away the awkwardness from his face. His eyes, usually so piercing, held a hint of something unusual.Normally, Roslyn's spontaneous 'Uncle Yale' would have brought him joy, especially when she chimed in with Evangeline. However, with the thought of Evangeline playing matchmaker for Roslyn and Hank, the idea of her small hands clasped in Hank's was like a thorn in his side. Why did the endearment suddenly sound so jarring?What was going on with him? Roslyn was just a kid. Why was he getting so worked up over that?"I'm up now, thanks to you, Uncle Yale," said Roslyn, her smile sweet and radiant. She was not trying to be brave, but it was just…Knowing she did not hold a place in Yale's heart, she chose to keep up her usual sunny disp

Yale's gaze fell as disappointment crossed his face.The room filled with an awkward silence.Julieta, who had been busy with the food, noticed Yale and Roslyn looking lost in the living room and walked over, confused. "Mr. Yale Foster, Ms. Shaw, are you guys waiting for Ms. Evangeline?""Yeah, Evie's sure taking her sweet time. How long does it take to fetch someone and not be back by now..."Before Yale could finish, Julieta cut in with a puzzled tone, "To fetch someone? You're talking about Mr. Tarp, aren't you?"A look of realization dawned on Julieta's face. "Oh dear, it totally slipped my mind. Ms. Evangeline told me to let you know that she and Mr. Tarp have headed to Aurora Mountain. She reminded me to bring you the food we prepared."Julieta had thought of everything—the spread included all sorts of dishes, complete with self-heating packs for a meal that was both easy and nourishing.Seeing the hefty bag of goodies, Yale finally took Julieta at her word.So, Yale was

Chapter 753

Yes, Roslyn was riding shotgun. With Yale around, she had no interest in taking the wheel.Yale watched Roslyn claim her seat and knew the score. He hefted the food bags and moved them to the Ferrari.Score one for Roslyn! After all their little battles, she had finally snagged a win.Yale settled into the driver's seat, still trying to play the voice of reason, but who was he kidding? Roslyn had made up her mind, and that was that."Roslyn, Aurora Mountain is going to be packed today, and this flashy Ferrari is going to stick out like a sore thumb."Being the center of attention was not always exciting; it could make things awkward and spoil the fun."So what if we stand out? I'm a celeb who's in the spotlight every day. Think I'm scared of a few extra stares at Aurora Mountain?" said Roslyn with a confident toss of her hair.Yale could only think of one thing. 'Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agr

Chapter 754

With no other choice, Yale had to call the bodyguards for help.Meanwhile, Roslyn grew antsy."Evie, Uncle Yale's car just conked out on us, and we're stuck because the doors won't budge. No clue what's up. You go have fun with Mr. Tarp, okay? No telling when the cavalry will show up."Lunch? We'll probably make it. I mean, the Foster family's bodyguards are pretty slick at what they do!"After she hung up, Roslyn could not help but vent to Yale, "Can you believe it? Even a Ferrari can bite the dust?"Yale felt a wave of frustration wash over him. Sure, a Ferrari was a car, and cars could break down, right?However, he was not about to get into it with Roslyn. She was in a mood, and he was not going to poke the bear."It's busted, so we wait. That's that," he said, trying to keep the peace.Being alone with Roslyn was the last thing he wanted. He used to worry that the more time they spent together, the more she would fall for him.Then Yale had come to terms with his feelings

Chapter 755

'Besides, thanks to Evangeline, Roslyn and I are bound to keep in touch. There's no escaping each other. It would just make things more awkward,' thought Yale."Uncle Yale, what's up with you today?"Roslyn had zero patience for guys who beat around the bush. With her temper flaring, she sat up straight and confronted him, "Spit it out if you've got something to say. If not, zip it. Wouldn't we both be better off taking a break?""I..."'I'm scared you won't like what I have to say.' Yale's mouth twitched, and he choked back his words.There he was, Yale Foster of the illustrious Foster family, fumbling for words like a tongue-tied kid in front of the girl he liked.This would not do!Yale gathered all his courage, but by the time he was in front of Roslyn, it had dwindled to half."I just think that oversleeping isn't great for your health."'Is he worried about me?' Roslyn was puzzled for a moment but then understood. Yale was her elder, so his concern was not out of place.

Chapter 756

Okay, so…Hank was on the fence, but Evangeline was done waiting.She had played cupid for a sweet couple, and she was ready to kick back and have some fun. However, Hank? He was dragging his feet, and that just would not do.Evangeline eyed the thick crowd ahead, tugged at Hank's sleeve without another word, and made a beeline for the entrance.What Evangeline did not realize, however, was the guy in the black climbing gear standing like a statue behind her to the right, his intense gaze glued on her since she showed up.That guy was Walter.On his secretary Emma's advice, he had come to Aurora Mountain.He was just supposed to look around and maybe say a little prayer, hoping things with Evangeline would get patched up. However, before he even got through the gate, he got an eyeful of that.The woman who was just a divorce paper away from being his ex, all cozy and arm-in-arm with some other dude, heading into the mountain gate like they were the best of friends…What was go

Chapter 757

Hank's cheeks turned a soft pink as he read 'Blessings of Love' carved into the wooden sign next to the tree.Evangeline, on the other hand, was unfazed. She had already had her run with marriage, after all. Why would she pine for eternal love then?Since parting ways with Walter, all she wanted was to live life on her terms, breezy and unburdened. She was not about to latch onto someone else or get tangled up in feelings, no more wasting energy on emotional drama. As long as she was happy, that was what mattered.However, catching a glimpse of Hank's bashful glow, she had a moment of clarity: Hank had not walked down the aisle yet.Maybe it was not fair to judge him with her been-there-done-that attitude.Unbeknownst to them, Walter was seething just a few steps behind, watching Evangeline and Hank looking like they were made for each other, standing under the Lovers' Tree.He was green with envy.Alex, the guy Evangeline had always been keen on, never got that close, and there

Chapter 758

An old man watching from the sidelines pulled at Walter's sleeve. "Listen, buddy, we're all here to have a good time. If you're not up for covering the loss, just be straight about it. Why put on a show?"Being decent is the way to go, you know."The crowd swelled.Walter was like the star attraction at the zoo, except he was not putting on a show—he had genuinely been robbed!Was he not the victim there? Walter felt like yelling at the top of his lungs, but that would not fix anything.The kid's parents were expecting him to sort that mess out.What then?Near the Lovers' Tree, Evangeline, trying to ignore the growing noise behind her, was about to leave when she spotted someone familiar.Walter?She shook her head. Walter should be at the office, not there at Aurora Mountain.She was seeing things, she thought.Hank, a little taller than Evangeline, had a clear view over the heads in the crowd and could see Walter's face distinctly.He had no clue why Walter was there.

Chapter 759

Evangeline faced the couple, her hand extending a crisp hundred-dollar bill toward the woman. "I'm really sorry about that. My friend over there didn't mean to ruin your kid's doll. Here, take this and get her something nice to play with."Evangeline had money to burn, but she was not the type to hand out cash without a good reason. She did it because the man's gentle patience with his wife struck a chord in her—a kind of tenderness she had never known.Even with her history with Walter, she never truly felt what it was like to have a husband's support.It was almost comical.However, the real irony hit her when she found herself envying the woman standing before her: her hair was a mess, her clothes were nothing special, and her face showed signs of time. After all, all Evangeline really wanted was as simple as it could get: a loving husband, a happy child, a family of three, and the occasional lively visit to her uncles' house.It was a shame, really, that such simple wishes see

Chapter 760

"Whoever thinks they're the pretty boy must be the pretty boy, huh? The guy himself doesn't seem to mind, so why are you, an outsider, making a scene, Evangeline?" said Walter mockingly. Even his look at Hank was loaded with animosity.He knew exactly how to push Evangeline's buttons.Realizing she really was an outsider to Hank, she was at a loss for words. "You are absolutely impossible to reason with!"However, Hank just flashed a small smile and casually slung his arm around Evangeline's shoulder, pulling her in close. They looked cozier than ever. "Evie, why are you getting irritated over Mr. Walter Gordon? He didn't say anything bad, right?"Walter heard that and could not suppress a chuckle.'Pretty boy'—that was a pretty harsh burn where he came from. However, Hank brushed it off like it was nothing.Was Hank missing a few screws or something? Had the Foster brothers been so worried Evangeline would end up an old maid that they had set her up with a guy who could not take
