The Foster and Gordon families were still intertwined in business, and Evangeline would have to face Walter sooner or later. A total war with Walter would help no one.
However, with him pushing her, she was done with the les.
“Bravo, Evangeline. You’re just fantastic,” said Walter through clenched teeth, sarcastically giving her a thumbs–up.
Evangeline had hoped that having a child might change everything between them, a wishful dream that felt so right.
“I’ve been trying to figure something out. Why are you in such a rush to cut me loose? Is it because of Alex?”
He could not think of any other reason that would drive Evangeline to make such a choice.
Were children not supposed to be everything to a mom? So why could Evangeline, with his baby on the way, hit him with words so cold?
Evangeline sighed deeply, her voice tinged with resignation as she replied, “We’re on our way to a divorce. Why keep this up?”
She could not fathom why Walter kept dragging Alex into their mess.
Nonetheless, with no love lost between them, hashing out anything about Alex seemed pointless.
If pretending Alex was the reason would get Walter to agree to the baby deal and keep their lives separate afterward, then so be it. It might even be for the best.
“Alright, I get it.”
Walter’s face was a patchwork of pale shades, and his tall frame shook just a bit. He could not wrap his head around Evangeline’s blunt confession.
Was she so done with pretenses when she was finally pregnant?
Hiding his conflicting emotions, he lifted the blanket higher, shielding his face.
“Ms. Evangeline, anything else? If not, the door’s right there.”
Cradling the blanket in one arm, Walter reached out with the other to swing open the guest room door.
Evangeline had what she came for; there was no reason to stay a second longer.
“From tomorrow on, I’ll be at the villa, taking care of myself and the baby. Please, don’t just show up out of the blue and bother me anymore.”
She rose to her feet slowly and, as she reached the door, she thoughtfully closed it behind her.

With each Inch the door closed, Evangeline’s face was hidden bit by bit until it was completely sight.
Walter, cocooned in his blanket, caught just a whisper, “Goodbye, Walter.

Her voice was so soft, devoid of any detectable feeling like a still pond without a single ripple.
Walter’s grip on the blanket tightened, his heart a tumultuous sea.
A single door divided him and Evangeline, placing them in entirely separate worlds. One goodbye stretched the space between them to its furthest extent.
He never imagined that he and Evangeline could ever be this far apart. It was a bizarre sensation….
She could be seen there, smiling and chatting away. Her voice was audible as she spoke. However, her emotions vastly differ from those typically experienced.
A wave of loss washed over Walter, drowning him in its depths.
He realized he was on the brink of losing Evangeline.
This woman, who had coerced him into marriage, who sought to chain his happiness with the expectations of her parents, whom he should have seen as nothing but a nuisance, would be completely
out of his life.
