Chapter 230
Walter was not the type to back down without a fight.
Evangeline’s game plan was simple: She would keep the knowledge of her baby from Walter, and then vanish from his life post–divorce.
The baby was hers and hers alone. No matter what, Walter was not getting his hands on her child.
Evangeline was lost in thought, her mind a whirlwind of half–formed plans. she could not pin down. When Roslyn shared her worries, Evangeline was at a loss for words.
“Don’t sweat it, I’ve got a plan,” Evangeline reassured her. “Hey, I sent you an invite to my birthday party. Why’d you bail on me?”
The thought stung. Her birthday had come and gone without a peep from Roslyn, her ride–or–die best friend. It had been a real letdown.
Roslyn’s face crumpled with regret. “Ugh, my agent’s the worst. She’s pushing me into the TV scene and signed me up for this drama without asking. I was so ticked off that I almost fired her. But the studio was breathing down my neck, so I had to play along. They even took my phone, afraid I’d bolt. Didn’t get it back until I was deep into filming. By then, your party was old news.”
Roslyn was still steamed about it, but she knew deep down that her agent was just looking out for her future. She could not bite the hand that fed her, so she buckled down to give her all to the role.
“It’s cool, work comes first,” said Evangeline, her voice warm with
understanding.
Their bond was too strong for such formalities. Evangeline was not just okay. with it; she was stoked for Roslyn’s big break.
“Anyway, we don’t even drink. What’s the fun of hanging out at a bar with just juice? Let’s bounce and head home.”

“You sure you can skip out on filming tonight?” asked Evangeline, hesitant to mess with Roslyn’s schedule.
