Thus, playing it safe, Evangeline decided that getting out of there was the smart move. 

Seizing the moment when everyone was preoccupled with Walter and Minnie, Evangeline summoned the waiter, settled the bill in a flash, and secretly wheeled Alex out the back door of the cafe. 

“Evie, my car’s right up front. Let’s get out of here and then we can figure out how to handle Walter’s drama,” Alex suggested. 

He pointed ahead, and a white Toyota materialized before Evangeline’s eyes, 

A driver–like figure stepped out, took the wheelchair from Evangeline with practiced ease, and helped Alex into the car. 

Evangeline stood by the car door, silently taking in the scene, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. 

Alex’s inability to walk made outings in his wheelchair a challenge, but having someone there for him made all the difference. 

Did that mean when Alex went to meet up, he had the driver wait the entire time while he rolled himself to 

the cafe in his wheelchair? 

Seeing Evangeline hesitate to act, Alex called out from the car, “Evie, why aren’t you getting in?” 

Realizing Evangeline might have driven herself, Alex added, “Someone can fetch your car later. The mess with Walter isn’t going to blow over easily, and with your current condition, you really should come with us. 

Evangeline could not deny the warmth she felt looking at Alex’s worried face. 

Through thick and thin, Alex had always put her first. However, Walter, the guy she actually fell for, only ever caused trouble for her to fix. 

Life was a rollercoaster, and fate loved to play games. No matter how great Alex was, he was not the one 

she had feelings for. 

Evangeline’s sigh was trapped in her throat as she gave Alex a wave. “Alex, go on without me. I won’t be 

returning. 

“If I don’t handle Walter’s mess, and this scandal gets confirmed, it’s going to be bad news for both the Fosters and the Gordons.” 

Sure, the Fosters and the Gordons were loaded and would not sweat a scandal. However, Evangeline was worried about the ripple effect. If Cole got wind of it, that would be a real problem. 

Deep down, she cared more for Cole. 

Since Cole adored her, it was only fair she looked out for him too. 

With those words, Evangeline turned to leave. 

Behind her, Alex’s voice rose in a panicked plea, “Evie, if you go back now, you’re just going to fan the flames of the media frenzy. It’s better if you come back here!”
