Chapter 332 

His words hit Evangeline like a dagger to the heart. 

Nonetheless, the sting was dull. She had long accepted that she never truly held a place in Walter’s heart With their mission to have a child complete, it seemed only natural for him to want some distance. 

She reminded herself of the reason for her visit and chose not to squander her precious sleep over it. 

“Walter, remember the conversation we had about the parenting contract?” 

She had brought it up before, and Walter had stormed off, leaving her without a clear response. However, with their child growing inside her, the urgency of the parenting contract could not be ignored any longer. 

“What are you getting at?” Walter inquired. 

He remembered the terms of the parenting contract all too well. However, the fact that this was the first thing on her mind after getting pregnant made his heart sink. 

Tm s 

saying that now I’m pregnant, the parenting contract should come into effect immediately. I’ll print it out first thing tomorrow, and we can sign it…” 

For Evangeline, who always liked to keep things professional, it was important to get everything down on paper to make it official. 

“Evangeline, is this your way of cutting all ties with me? 

The parenting contract. After Evangeline’s pregnancy was confirmed, the baby would be completely under the care of the Foster family. Meanwhile, Walter would get the Gordon family’s shares as a form of 

payment. 

“Evangeline, what do you take me for? Do you really think I’d trade my own child for the Gordon family’s wealth? Is that all I am to you?” 

Walter’s accusations made Evangeline’s heart sink. 

She had not given it much thought before, but Walter’s words made her see things differently. She felt like she was being reduced to a mere baby–maker… 

By going through with this, she realized she had not considered Walter’s pride a member of the Gordon. family. 

“So what’s your plan? Should we just forget about transferring the shares?” 

Would Walter, however, be okay with that? 

Not waiting for Walter to respond, Evangeline went on to explain, “I know you only agreed to have this baby with me because of my grandfather’s illness. I’m truly grateful for that. But we both know that a forced relationship won’t make us happy. Our marriage has been nothing but a shell for a long time, and it wouldn’t be fair to trap us both in a lifetime of unhappiness just for my grandfather’s sake, would it?” 

Evangeline did her best to stay calm and talk things through with him. 

“The deal is a neat solution to our problem. You do your part in bed, and I’ll hand back your family’s shares. No need to overthink it; you were meant to have them anyway.
