Chapter 393 

“Walter, I dashed off so fast that I forgot to tell you something Grandpa Cole doesn’t know the whole story about the fight, just that you’re hurt and need to rest at home. So, when you’re feeling up to it, swing by the Foster family’s old place to see him. It’ll keep him from worrying too much.” 

Life was full of strange coincidences. 

Evangeline could not help but think how lucky Walter was to have kept the whole fiasco from Cole 

Hiding the truth for Cole’s well being was not wrong What was surprising was that Trey, too, kept silent about the whole thing. Then, it all hinged on Walter. 

As soon as Walter was feeling better, they would both go and check in with Cole. Then, they could put 

that whole mess behind them. 

“When do you want to head back? I’m ready to go now! 

The mere thought of seeing Evangeline sent a thrill through Walter, and he moved too quickly, wincing as he aggravated his back injury. 

Evangeline caught his pained grunt loud and clear. “Let’s hold off on that. You need a few more days to healt 

She might not be Walter’s biggest fan, but she could not stand the thought of him suffering through pain just to keep up appearances with Cole. 

“Look, regardless of what’s between us, we’ve got a kid together. I can’t help but feel like I need to give you some advice. Mr. Gordon, you’re not getting any younger. Don’t do things that’ll make him worry, okay? 

The image of an old man, cane in hand, struggling all the way to the villa to uncover a scandal, made Evangeline’s heart twist with unease. 

“Got anything else to say?” Walter’s words came out through clenched teeth. 

He wanted to clear the air with Evangeline, to tell her that there was nothing between him and Minnie, that it was all a big misunderstanding. However, he had an idea. Why not wait until he had the proof of Julia’s identity? That would be the perfect time to explain everything, past and present. 

“No, I that’s it. Just… take care of yourself.” 

Beep, beep, beep! 

The call ended abruptly, leaving Walter staring at the phone, blindsided. 

Walter had barely caught a hint of concern in Evangeline’s voice when the line went dead. The silence hit him like a punch, leaving him wondering if her words had been real or just a figment of his overactive imagination. 

Meanwhile, Evangeline was clutching the phone, swamped with regret. 

Why did she have to care about Walter? 

Her reaction had been pure instinct, something she could not rein in even if she tried.
