Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)

Chapter 102

Evangeline's brow creased in frustration

How could she not be slow? Did Walter not have any idea why she was so?

She was about to let out her pent-up anger when Walter cut her off. "Alright, alright, you're here now. Just speed it up, will you? I'm in a hurry."

Indeed, Walter was rushing Evangeline.

The reason for his rush became apparent soon enough. He was worried that if he waited any longer, and if he let himself think about Alex, the guy Evangeline could not stop thinking about, he would lose his cool. The divorce might fall through. He balled his hands into fists. They had made a deal, and he was determined not to back out.

Evangeline had not expected Walter, who had last time fled like a frightened turtle, to be so quick to agree this time around.

It worked out for her, less hassle.

She walked into the County Clerk's Office before him.

Filling out the forms and getting the certificate took 10 minutes.

Walter walked away without a backward glance.

Evangeline looked at the divorce decree in her hand and almost laughed. She remembered how had

schemed and manipulated to get Walter to marry her, which took nearly three months to secure that marriage certificate.

How things have changed.

A twinge of pain flickered in her heart, strong enough to overshadow any physical pain she was feeling.

Evangeline fought to keep the tears from spilling over.

She would never see Walter again. The love she once felt had vanished, leaving only a bitter grudge against him. She had to get to the hospital, the pain was just too much to bear.

The previous night had been a blur, and she was not sure if Walter had been careful enough. The thought of carrying that jerk's baby? No way.

Avalon City General Hospital.

Evangeline got in to see the gynecologist without a hitch, and the verdict was quick She was swollen, with a few minor tears. The doctor, understanding her predicament, gave her some pills to prevent any unwanted consequences. As she left the clinic, medicine in hand, she collided with someone. "Oh, sorry..." she mumbled, only to hear a voice filled with surprise.

"Evangeline? Is that really you?"

Caden wiped his eyes, making sure he was not seeing things. Evangeline's gaze snapped up, taking in the guy who always tagged along with Walter. It was Caden, alright. Before she could even process that, she spotted a familiar figure nearby. Walter, of all people, was here at the hospital. Her heart clenched at the sight of him.

Caden, clueless about the tension, elbowed Walter and asked, "Hey, what's Evangeline doing at the maternity ward? Don't tell me you two..

There was no need for more words. The hint of a tease in the tone said it all, and the two of them could fill in the blanks with their own imaginations. Evangeline shot Caden an irritated look. "Cut it out. Walter and are officially divorced, and we're nothing to each other now. Watch what you say from now on!" She was done with Walter, completely and utterly.

Unfazed, Caden kept up his eager act. "You're still the Ms. Evangeline! Look, my dad's the head of this place, I'll just go talk to him....

He made to leave. Evangeline, however, was faster, grabbing him tight to stop him.
