Valter, are you serious about all this?” At this point, all Cole wanted was Walter’s word. He just could not ear the thought of entrusting Evangeline to him again without it. 

Walter did not even pause before nodding vigorously. “If I’ve told you a single lie today, I’m ready to face the worst you can throw at me!” 

Cole gave a casual wave of his hand: “If you’ve got the guts to say it, I’ve got the guts to believe it.” 

He was not questioning Walter’s honesty, but… 

It was a real head–scratcher how these two kids, obviously crazy about each other, just could not get their 

feelings to sync up. 

“Need any help from your grandpa?” 

He knew better than to butt in on young love, but his heart ached to see them all lovey–dovey, and he could not help wanting to lend a hand. 

“No need, Grandpa,” Walter cut in quickly. 

Truth be told, Cole’s eagerness for a great–grandson had been a huge help. As long as he did not have to vanish from Evangeline’s life, he was over the moon with gratitude. How could he ask for anything more? “The thing between me and Evangeline, you don’t have to worry about it. We’ll just go with the flow.” 

He had faith that a true heart could break through any barrier. 

As long as he kept his heart true to Evangeline, he was sure he would win her back from that jerk Alex one day. 

Cole’s mouth quirked in a half–smile. 

‘Well, if you’re that set on it… then I hope you don’t mind if I just watch from the sidelines,‘ he thought. Every parent treasured their daughter, and it was the same way with his granddaughter. 

Little did they know, Evangeline was right outside the door, à bundle of nerves and drenched in sweat. Cole was known for his fiery temper, and there was no way he would give Walter, the guy who had been mean to Evangeline, a warm welcome. 

Evangeline was not worried about Walter getting what he deserved. She was more concerned that Cole, who had just been pulled back from the brink, might get so upset that his old health issues would flare up again. That was a scenario no one wanted to deal with. 

Right then, Evangeline was kicking herself for letting her guard down earlier, for letting Walter have a one- on–one with her grandfather. 

The door suddenly cracked open, and there was Walter, his face as unreadable as ever. 

The Foster brothers, all five of them, had swarmed into Cole’s hospital room, leaving Evangeline to step out with Walter. 

Her uncles were with her grandfather, so she was not too worried about him.

“Walter, what did you tell Grandpa? Is he mad? And did he buy the story that we’ve patched things up?” she rambled, gripping Walter’s sleeve. 

Walter glanced down at Evangeline’s anxious face and felt an unexpected pang of… something. When would she look at him with that same concern? 

Of course, she was fretting over her grandfather, not some guy like him. He was not going to let that get in the way of what needed to be done. 

“Don’t sweat it. I’ll just have to prove it to him, you know, by getting you pregnant. That’ll convince him,” he
