Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453 

Evangeline remembered she had promised to pen a track for her best friend Roslyn’s new album not even started. Hence, she got down to business, writing like a whirlwind.

Her ideas were flowing non–stop, and she was all in on the writing sesh until she snapped back to reality at two in the afternoon. 

She pulled out her phone, like always, to check for any messages she missed and saw David’s missed call right away. 

Why was David, who was practically glued to Walter, calling her? 

She raised an eyebrow. 

However, knowing David was not one to bug her for no reason, and not wanting to miss out on something major, she called him back, even though she was not exactly thrilled about it. 

“Mrs. Gordon, you finally hit me back.” 

David was practically crying with relief when Evangeline finally called him back. 

He had tried reaching her at noon but got no answer. Then he just zoned out, staring at his phone. 

He thought about calling again but did not want to disturb her. Not calling felt even worse, like maybe she just did not want to talk to him at all. He was totally stuck in the middle. 

Evangeline let out a soft hum. “David, spit it out if there’s something on your mind.” 

Normally, with the way things were between her and Walter, David should not be bringing anything to her. However, since they were still technically married, she felt it was only right to ask what was up. 

“Here’s the deal. In three days, it’s Mr. Walter Gordon’s birthday. He’s throwing a big bash on a cruise ship and he wants you there, no excuses.” 

That was when Evangeline finally checked her phone calendar. Sure enough, the date was coming up. 

However, why should she care about Walter’s birthday? 

“You really think I should go to this thing? Won’t Mr. Walter Gordon think I’m just raining on his parade? Too bad Evangeline’s roundabout way of saying ‘no thanks‘ did not even register with David. Walter had given the orders, so as far as David was concerned, anything Evangeline said was as good as saying she would be there. 

“You’re still our Mrs. Gordon. If you don’t show up to something this big, who will? Plus, the boss made it clear–you’ve got to be there. Think about it, a husband’s birthday without his wife? That’d be a slap in the face, right?” 

Evangeline took a deep breath. 

Something about David’s words smelled fishy to her. The way he kept saying ‘husband‘ and ‘wife‘ so smoothly, it was like he was baiting her to show up at Walter’s party, 

Evangeline’s mind was a whirlpool of memories.
