Evangeline stretched out with a contented sigh, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the sheet music sprawled across her notebook. Her cheeks were rosy with the thrill of creation.She had finally penned the lead song, a melody woven with the bittersweet threads of misplaced love.Eager to breathe life into her composition, she hurried to the piano room, clutching her notebook. She took out her phone, tapped the recorder app, and hit play.The music danced between lively and somber notes, weaving an emotion so complex it was like a mist hanging between her eyes and the endless blue above—obscure and elusive. However, with each note's fall, it spilled the poignant sorrow of love gone awry and the cathartic release of moving beyond yesterday's shadows.A musician's work often laid bare their interpretation of the theme. That was Evangeline's take on love's missteps.The affection of those who cared for her had once brought heartache and irrevocable regret.Even so, who could declare

Indeed, he had mentioned on the phone that he had exciting news for her. "What's the scoop?" asked Evangeline eagerly.Alex had always been her rock, her 'bro'. Nothing, not even Walter's shadow, could change that bond. Naturally, his good news was her good news.A blush tinged Alex's cheeks, and Evangeline's curiosity skyrocketed. "Come on, Alex, spill it!"As Evangeline's anticipation reached a fever pitch, Alex pressed a finger to his lips, signaling her to hush. He wheeled himself closer to her. "Evie, brace yourself, okay? And try to keep it down, will you?"She nodded, a silent promise hanging between them. Then, with a gentle tug, Alex lifted the blanket from his legs, revealing limbs that were thinner than most. The air hung heavy with expectation and the unspoken story behind his condition.A thought flashed through Evangeline's mind, but she quickly clamped a hand over her mouth, thinking about the warning Alex had given earlier."What's going on..."Alex stayed quiet,

Chapter 794

Alex always had a soft spot for Evangeline's spunky side, and seeing it then brought a laugh to his lips. His eyes, dark as night, were filled with nothing but fondness for her."Evie, remember I told you once about someone I really, really liked?"Evangeline nodded.There had been times when she had let out all her pent-up anger and frustration from dealing with Walter on Alex.Alex, on the other hand, had occasionally let her in on his heartaches.It was during those heart-to-heart moments that their friendship really took off, becoming the kind where they could share anything and everything.However, when it came to that special someone, Alex did not bring her up much. Whenever he did, Evangeline could see a touch of sadness in his eyes, so she eventually stopped praying."So, are you two together now?"Even though Evangeline had long since let go of any hope for something more with Walter, she could not help but feel a surge of joy for Alex as he found his slice of happines

Why did life have to be so harsh?The brothers were identical, but the older one was even nicer than the younger sibling. Alas, Evangeline had fallen for the younger, wild one, and it was a love she could not shake off.At that moment when Evangeline thought Alex's confession was from Walter, she faced the truth.Evangeline looked down, her voice finally breaking the silence."Alex..."She was about to turn him down, but Alex did not wait for her to get the words out."Evie, I get that me laying my heart out like this is kind of out of the blue, especially with the whole me-and-Walter thing, and you just split from him. If we jumped into something now, it wouldn't look great. So, no rush on giving me an answer, okay?"Alex inhaled deeply, then added, "All I'm asking is that you give my feelings a real thought."Truth is, Evie, you've been the only one for me. Always."What no one saw was Alex's hands, hidden under the blanket across from Evangeline, balled into fists so tight

Carl nodded. "Sir, do you want to check the results?"Alex sighed in relief but then clenched his fists together. It was more than just a fist. It was as if he was holding one hand tightly with the other, the same hand that had just touched Evangeline."No need. Release it tomorrow morning at nine."Carl's eyes widened in surprise, but the slight upturn of Alex's lips told him all he needed to know. He simply nodded and said, "Alright."Alex, looking weary, waved Carl over. "Drive me home, will you?"With that, the man in the sleek black coat helped Alex into the car, just like the driver Alex had once hired for his own ease of travel.The road was wide and empty, the headlights cutting through the night like twin beacons, shattering the silence and darkness.The hum of the engine and the hiss of the exhaust filled the air, the tires whispering against the pavement.None of that slowed them down.After a quick drive, the car pulled up in front of the grand Gordon family villa.

Aria patted Alex's shoulder, ready to wheel him in, but Alex held her back. "Aunt Aria, my assistant can take care of this."That was a polite brush-off if Aria ever heard one.A flicker of awkwardness crossed Aria's face, but she did not back down. "Feeling formal, huh? An assistant's just an assistant, but an aunt's family. It's different, you know.""I hadn't really been all that involved in your life, so maybe this is one way of making up for it," said Aria, not waiting for a response from Alex before nudging him toward the dining table and the place setting the housekeeper had arranged just for him."Dad, I'm all done. You and Alex enjoy your meal," she said, leaving the two of them alone at the sprawling table.Alex focused on his food while Trey watched him in silence. It was not often that the grandfather and grandson duo got to spend time together, and neither seemed eager to break the quiet.It was only after Alex set down his fork that Trey ventured to ask, "Alex, you

It was a document Walter had sworn he would never sign, yet there it was on the penultimate page: the Gordon Group's seal and Walter's own signature."How is this possible?"Despite his failing eyesight, Trey was jolted into sharp focus by the shock.Anger was sizzling inside Trey, hidden from Alex's view. His fists were balled up in fury as he grabbed the intercom and ordered with a voice as deep as a canyon, "Get someone on the line! Tell Walter to get back here to see me, and make it snappy!"Once he hung up, Trey's steely gaze landed on Alex.Alex could feel it—his big break was finally there. "Grandpa, you're aware of how critical this case is, and I bet Walter knows it too. He wouldn't have done what he did without some serious thought. Let's not get worked up. We should hear him out when he gets here."Alex put on his best act of being the wise-beyond-his-years kid, hoping to impress Trey with his thoughtfulness.However, his words only fanned the flames."If explanation

"Look, there are things I'd rather not say outright. We both know what's up, and that's enough."Trey gave Alex a piercing look, determined to get some straight answers from Walter.Just then, Trey's phone buzzed. It was Walter on the line."Grandpa, I ran into some trouble today and can't make it back. Is it alright if I return tomorrow?"Walter's voice was timid as he tried to reason with Trey.Trey's temper flared. "What's so important that it trumps your own grandfather? I'm not hearing it. You've got thirty minutes. If you're not here, you're going to wish you were."Walter's voice caught in his throat, raspy with emotion. "Grandpa, I just can't get back. I'm at the courthouse with Evangeline, we're... getting a divorce."The word 'divorce' cut through Walter like a blade, stabbing at his heart.The pain was nearly suffocating, but he had to face it with a brave front.After all, it was his call to end things.He had sent the divorce papers to James, but there had been r
