SWNOVELS Chapter 462
Chapter 462
""But how can I not worry.
Evangeline seemned to have lost all her energy, collapsing onto the bed with a sigh.
This was about her pride. Anyone else, and it would not be a big deal. However, this was her ex-husband, Walter, throwing a birthday party just to spite her. How could she allow herself to be humiliated? "Mrs. Lewis, can you help me look... more poised?"
Julieta did not fully grasp the whirlwind of emotions Evangeline was going through, but she was eager to help her tackle that challenge.
After pondering for a bit, Julieta pulled out a chic light brown camel hair coat and a super simple top from Evangeline's closet.
"Ms. Evangeline, I've done my best with these picks. Try them on and see."
Evangeline slipped into the dressing room and tried on the outfit Julieta had put together. When she stepped back in front of the mirror, she was transformed, her confidence soaring
The coat, unable to button over her baby bump, hung in a way that was both flattering and discreet. Paired with the top and some jeans, the look was effortlessly smart, giving her an air of sharpness.
The boost in her presence was undeniable. The best part? She did not even need to wear heels.
Being pregnant made strutting around in high heels a no-go, but Julieta, the gem she had hired, had a knack for picking out the perfect outfits that skirted that little problem. Julieta was a real treasure- always on point and super thoughtful. At the stroke of nine, David's car rolled up to Evangeline's fancy villa. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw her.
Evangeline stepped into the car like she owned the world.
The Gordon family was loaded, and when it came to running their yacht, they did not cut any corners. However, once Evangeline got on board, she realized Walter was all show and no substance.
He had made a big deal about throwing that massive bash with all his pals, but it turned out to be just a few of his usual cronies.
Leading the pack was his buddy Caden, and then there was Felicia, the fresh-faced model who used to be glued to Walter's side.
Except now, things had shifted. Felicia was not hanging off Walter's arm, but she was stuck like glue to Caden instead.
Evangeline took a leisurely lap around the yacht and noticed the guest of honor was nowhere to be found, which was weird.
Minnie loved the spotlight. She would never pass up a chance to show off.
Walter, the guy who had been all over Evangeline to get there early, was also nowhere to be seen.
Maybe those two were plotting something, somewhere? Whatever they were up to, only they knew. Chapter 462
BONUS
Evangeline was not sweating it, though. She knew the day was packed with drama, and getting worked up would not help her enjoy the show.
She decided to relax and see how things played out.
Evangeline was clueless that the epic drama she had been dying to see had already kicked off. The show had gotten rolling aboard that cruise ship way before David swung by to pick her up.
Minnie, aiming to dazzle as the soon-to-be Mrs. Gordon, splurged on a bunch of high-end outfits with Walter's black card. She woke up at the crack of dawn to glam up, then, arm in arm with Walter, strutted onto the cruise ship as the day's first guest. Their game plan? Kick things off at ten, party hard with pals all day, have an epic night on the ship, and catch the sunrise the next morning.
