Evangeline was practically squirming as she listened to the doctor's instructions.The doctor was so thorough that she covered everything down to the exact posture. She stopped just short of giving a play-by-play on how to get it on.While Evangeline was busy trying not to curl up from embarrassment, Walter did not even bat an eyelash. Even with the doctor diving into super private stuff, the guy did not so much as blush. Seriously?This pre-baby appointment was turning into an epic disaster.The second the doctor wrapped up, Evangeline bolted like her shoes were on fire.Walking down the hospital corridor, Evangeline and Walter were a few steps apart. They were kind of a big deal, and their presence set off a buzz among the onlookers.As Evangeline walked by, she caught a snippet of conversation from a couple of gossiping doctors and nurses."Isn't that Mr. Walter Gordon of Gordon Group? Some numbskull must've spread a dumb rumor about him being impotent. He looks perfectly cap

"Isn't drinking alone just boring? Let's knock a few back together, what do you say?"If Walter thought she was just being friendly before, he was sure at this moment that she was buttering him up."Let's do it." He grabbed his glass and took a swig, eager to see what kind of game she was playing.As she settled in across from him, unnoticed, a dude in baggy grey threads slipped out of the bar.Cut to Evangeline, deep in business talk with Hank, when her phone buzzed."Walter's at the Kronovia Royale Pub, knocking back a few."Evangeline smirked. "Big surprise. Since when is Walter hitting a bar news?"She was not a regular at those chaotic watering holes, but it seemed like every time she did show up, Walter was there too. The guy must have been a fixture."Guess what? That B-lister Felicia Edmonds is there too..."The moment the words were said, Evangeline's expression turned icy.It was bad enough that Walter hit the bars, but to find out he was fooling around, too?They

Just his luck, out for a drink and he bumped into her. She had brought a date, it seemed.Evangeline let out a cold laugh, wrapped her arms around herself, and slouched comfortably into the sofa. "What a question, Mr. Walter Gordon. People hit up bars for a good time, not for... other services, right?"Evangeline's eyes locked onto Felicia with a look that screamed volumes, and everyone in the room caught the drift in a heartbeat."Never would've guessed the Foster family's darling princess was into this sort of thing," remarked Walter nonchalantly.The tension between them could have sparked a duel, and there stood Felicia, smack in the middle, the picture of discomfort.She turned to Evangeline, her voice barely above a whisper, "Ms. Evangeline, please, you've got it all wrong. Mr. Walter Gordon just saw some creep hassling me and stepped in. There's nothing shady going on; we're totally honest…"Tears brimmed in Felicia's eyes as she spoke. Walter, however, cut her off before

"Congrats, Ms. Edmonds, your turn to pick—Truth or Dare?"Caden's voice had been tinged with a mix of feelings.He had brought up the game to smooth things over between Walter and Evangeline. However, things seemed to be spiraling a bit out of hand.As expected, Felicia's hopeful eyes locked onto Walter right next to her. "I'll take a dare. Mr. Walter Gordon, how about we share a drink with linked arms?"Everyone knew what that meant—a gesture of closeness, usually reserved for couples.Felicia's motives for cozying up to Walter were as clear as day.Her challenge sent a wave of whispers through the crowd, all eyes fixed on Walter for his response."To link arms and drink with a new flame right in front of his ex? Talk about drama!""Walter won't actually go through with it, will he? I've heard those divorce rumors are bogus, and they're trying for a baby. If he takes up Felicia on her dare, he's basically asking for trouble, right?"What the crowd did not realize was that the

"Evangeline, can you not make a scene, please?"Evangeline was not playing around, however. She meant business this time.She had always known about Hank's crush on her. She just never reciprocated because Walter was the only one in her heart. Since she and Walter were on the brink of divorce, it was time to cut the cord for good.Taking advantage of this dare, kissing Hank was her bold declaration to Walter that she was done with him for good.Hank's years of silent devotion had not gone unnoticed by her, moreover. If she could, she would be ready to open up to him.Even though Walter was not there to see it, with everyone watching, it would have the same effect.Evangeline was sure of it: By sunrise, the whole of Avalon City would be buzzing about her steamy kiss with Hank. Once that happened, there would be no turning back for her and Walter…Lost in thought, she locked eyes with Hank. The excitement in his gaze was unmistakable. Why did she feel this twinge of guilt staring
