Chapter 244
It suddenly hit Evangeline that she had been so caught up in picking out the perfect gift for Alex that she forgot to head inside!
In the sprawling courtyard of the old Gordon place, Trey had been parked in his chair for ages, waiting.
“Evie, it’s been forever since you visited me. I’ve missed you!”
Trey snagged Evangeline’s hand, his frail, old fingers finding her wrist.
Underneath her light sleeve, the cool, regal green bracelet sat quietly on her wrist. It was the Gordon family’s prized heirloom, the very thing that marked her as Trey’s chosen granddaughter–in–law.
A few eagle–eyed onlookers caught a glimpse of the bracelet and shot looks of pure envy her way.
A flicker of emotion crossed Trey’s face. He had always known.
How could Evangeline’s heart change? How could she even think of leaving the Gordons, or her less–than–perfect grandson?
This mess was all Walter’s doing. Trey was set on laying down the law with that boy and winning his sweet granddaughter–in–law back.
“I’ve missed you too.”
Evangeline was not one for mushy stuff, but with Trey’s warm eyes on her, she felt her own eyes start to water.
Evangeline was well aware that her split from Walter would hit Trey like a ton of bricks, so she kept it under wraps.
“Work has been crazy, and I’ve been tied up at the office. But I’ve just brought on a new CEO to lighten the load. Now I’ll have more time to hang out with you.”
She had had this plan in her back pocket for a while.
Divorce or no divorce, Trey would always be her rock, and Alex, her family.

That was one thing that would never change.
On one side was this warm, fuzzy vibe, but Walter, the man who had once connected them, might as well have been a ghost.
