Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 607

"T-Thank you."

Elliana's voice came out in a shaky whisper, her cheeks burning so much that she could barely get the words out.

The guy just gave a slight, calm smile. "No problem. See ya."

They were at a funeral on a grassy lawn, and the man had picked up the white flower, getting a bit of dirt on his fingertips.

"Sir!" Elliana could not help but stop him as he turned to leave, noticing the dirt. She felt a wave of embarrassment as she offered, "Your hand... it's got dirt on it. Need a tissue?"

She reached for the zipper on her jacket.

He looked at his hand as if he would just notice, glanced at the dirt, and casually wiped it away. "I'm good, thanks."

He did not look back after that, but Elliana could not help but watch his retreating figure for a long while until her agent interrupted her thoughts.

"Ms. Snyder? We've got an hour before our next gig, and it's a bit of a drive. We should head out now or we might be late..."

Elliana snapped out of her daze. "Right, let's go."

Meanwhile, Yale, who had been welcoming guests at the funeral home, was giving his late-arriving youngest brother Aemon a hard look. "Do you even know what today is? Where have you been? You're so late."

If Aemon had shown up sooner, he could have stepped in for Evangeline, letting her catch a break earlier.

Aemon, aware he was in the wrong and feeling a twinge of guilt, ran his hand through his black hair and mumbled, "Sorry, Yale, got caught up with something."

Well, if helping a girl pick up her stuff counted, then he was not exactly lying.
