Chapter 761

If Evangeline had any clue that Walter would show up at Aurora Mountain today, she would have stayed home. It was like walking out the door straight into a streak of bad luck.However, Walter vanished from her sight right then? No problem.She had Hank right there with her, and Yale and Roslyn were on their way. With the four of them together, they would have a blast. How could she not be excited?However…"I'm not leaving!"Walter stood his ground."Aurora Mountain is for everyone. Why should I have to leave just because I bump into you?"He decided he would stick to Evangeline like glue. The thought of his wife cozying up to another guy was driving him nuts!Annoyed and powerless, what was a guy to do? He would tail them, of course. He would watch every move Evangeline made with Hank!"Fine, fine, fine. Aurora Mountain isn't the Foster family's playground, so you're free to do as you please. Let's just split up here. No need to ruin each other's fun!"Evangeline did not eve

"You're just a boyfriend. What gives you the right to strut around here like you own the place?"Walter tried to sound confident, but his voice betrayed him.His scornful tone struck a nerve with Hank, who was not about to let that slide. "Walter, you better choose your words carefully! You and Evie are over, you're divorced!"Hank would never have pursued Evangeline if he had not been certain she was single. He had his principles, and meddling in someone else's relationship was not his style."Divorced? Since when? That's news to me," Walter retorted with a sly grin, locking eyes with Hank in a challenge. "Why don't you ask Evangeline if we ever got that divorce certificate?"Evangeline's gaze fell silently.He was right, they had not gotten the certificate.Even so…"If Uncle James hadn't been tied up with other matters, do you think we'd still be talking about getting a divorce certificate? What's a piece of paper worth, anyway? In my heart, you and I have been done and dust

Chapter 763

The sight of Evangeline and Hank laughing together was like a punch to the gut. Walter turned away, unable to watch.Meanwhile, Evangeline ended the call with Yale, her face lighting up as she high-fived Hank, their sign of triumph. "Hank, we did it! Our plan actually worked!"Hank, thinking back to the conversation he had just heard, was puzzled. "How can you be so sure it worked? I didn't catch anything odd in Mr. Yale Foster's words!"He had no idea Evangeline's knowing look meant she had an ace up her sleeve."You're not in the loop, are you? I know my Uncle Yale like the back of my hand. The more uptight he acts, the more I'm sure he's up to something! You heard him on the phone with me earlier, right? Didn't he sound off to you?"Hank replayed their recent chat in his mind.Yale was usually nice when it came to Evangeline, but his voice had been weirdly stiff, like he was on edge, worried she would ask the wrong question at any second."So, all we do now is wait for some g

Up ahead, Hank and Yale had begun their ascent. They walked shoulder to shoulder, a silent understanding passing between them without a word.Then, from behind, a woman's voice called out, "Hank, Uncle Yale, why are you two speeding ahead? Aren't you going to wait for me and Roslyn?"Roslyn and Evangeline spun together and were surprised to see how far they had come without realizing it. They had been jogging the whole way and had just managed to weave through the crowd to catch up.The two of them were buzzing with excitement, and the once-quiet air buzzed with their energy."Evie, check this out—I looked it up before we came. All the religious icons and stuff on Aurora Mountain are said to bring good fortune. They say if you visit each one and toss a coin into the wishing well, your wish will come true!" Roslyn's eyes sparkled with the thrill of the legend."Why don't we give it a shot and toss a coin too? What do you say?" Roslyn bounced on the balls of her feet, eager.They w

"Evie, can I ask you something?" Yale tried to sound relaxed, but his eyes were all over the place, like he could not decide what to focus on."What's up?"Yale gulped down his last bite of pie and asked, "If you didn't appreciate someone before and now you're kicking yourself, how do you make things right?"Evangeline perked up instantly.'That's totally about Roslyn, right?' she thought.Roslyn was just waiting for Yale to pour his heart out. What was there to fix? He just needed to lay his feelings out there, did he not?However, Evangeline was not about to spell it out that bluntly.She was torn—Uncle Yale on one side, her best friend on the other.Roslyn had been through the wringer before, and then it was Yale's turn to sweat it out."Give me a second to think…"It all comes down to how much you took things for granted. Take Walter, for example: He took me for granted, and now there's no going back for us."Really, it had all been about the two people involved. If they

Chapter 766

What Evangeline did not realize was that Roslyn had been dying to check out the wishing well and was not about to go alone. She would never let Evangeline off the hook."Come on, since when do you need to prepare for a hike? Just close your eyes and step it up, right?"I had just checked out the map, and it looked like all the religious icons up on the mountain were pretty much huddled together. Not a lot of them, right?"'Not really, but Roslyn, can't you see what I'm trying to do here?'Evangeline mentally rolled her eyes, thinking that maybe Yale should be the one to explain things. It might come across better.Then, an idea struck her, and she shot Roslyn a look that spoke volumes. "Roslyn, do you have any clue why Hank wanted us to hike up to Aurora Mountain?"It was because he wanted some alone time with Evangeline, duh!Roslyn got the message in a flash, and suddenly holding Evangeline's hand felt super awkward."Oh, then... I guess Uncle Yale and I will head off first.

"Can you let go of me?""Nope." Yale gently lowered his hands and then wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "Roslyn, I messed up."The breeze whispered Yale's words of regret right into Roslyn's ear.Roslyn shivered.Could she have heard that right? Yale, admitting he was wrong? That was unheard of, especially since he was the one who always seemed to look down on her the most.Feeling her tense up in his arms, Yale knew she heard him clearly."I asked Evie what to do if you didn't appreciate someone before and now you're full of regrets. She told me you've got to own up to it."At the mention of Evangeline's name, Roslyn's tension eased. By the time Yale's voice faded, she was already hiding a smile against his chest. "So, you're here to say you're sorry?""Yeah. Wasn't that clear?" Yale's heart raced with uncertainty. "Look, I'm sorry, Roslyn. I'm not good at this. Maybe you could show me how it's done?"'How do you teach someone to apologize?'Roslyn, feeling a

"I can't live like that anymore. So, Roslyn, can you forgive me?"Years of feeling invisible, years of aching hearts, all seemed to come to a halt in that moment, as the first rays of hope broke through the darkness.Yale's deep, searching eyes met Roslyn's, and she gave a small, certain nod."You're not wrong, you know? I've always known that everything you've said was meant to help me."Roslyn was just a teenager, in the springtime of her life, yet she had fallen for a man twice her age. It was the kind of thing that would make anyone question if her feelings were real.She truly understood where Yale was coming from. Her biggest fear was that she might never have had a real place in his heart."I'm going to be a little selfish now." Yale gently took Roslyn's hand and pressed it against his heart. "Believe it or not, you're the only one who's ever been in here. Do you still want it?"Yale had always been the golden boy of the Foster family, the eldest son with the weight of th

However, Walter, her steadfast protector, was a different story. His body was littered with tiny cuts from the stones."Walter, are you okay?"Evangeline did not inspect him closely, just waited for his reply. However, silence hung heavy. She leaned in and her heart sank—Walter had passed out!She remembered the grunts of pain he had made while chaos reigned, and it hit her—Walter had taken the brunt of the falling stones to keep her safe. His wounds were on the inside."Walter, please, wake up!" Panic rising, Evangeline gently slapped his face."Cough..."A faint cough broke the silence. Walter's face stung as he fought to open his eyes, only to lock onto Evangeline's worried gaze."Evangeline, are you... Are you hurt?" His voice was weak, and his chest ached, but he needed to know she was okay."I'm fine, but what about you?" Evangeline asked urgently.She had never seen Walter so frail, his lips white as if drained of life."As long as you're fine..." Walter forced a feebl

Chapter 770

Normally, Roslyn's hot temper would have made her retort, demanding to know why he thought she could not take care of her own best friend, Evangeline.However, this time, Roslyn understood. She understood Yale's worry for Evangeline. With a quick, reassuring blink, she led Evangeline away from the crowd."Evie, we're hitting the hospital first."Hank helped the girls into the car and climbed in after them before saying, "Sure, you look okay, but better safe than sorry, right? A quick check-up can't hurt."Roslyn chimed in, though her eyes never left Evangeline, checking her for injuries.Apart from a few scrapes and cuts, Evangeline was unscathed."I'm really okay. Can we skip the hospital, please?" All she wanted was to find Walter, to see for herself how he was doing.He had been knocked out cold. He had to be hurt pretty bad, did he not?Roslyn could easily read Evangeline's thoughts."You might not want to go, but what about everyone else? Do you have any idea how freaked
