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

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

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

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

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
