Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 610

"So, what am I like now?" asked Evangeline, her curiosity piqued as they walked arm in arm toward the funeral home.

Truth be told, Roslyn was hoping Evangeline would stick by her side.

With Cole gone, and his eldest son Yale bound to be at the reception thanking guests, she felt uneasy.

It had been ages since she had seen him. Having Evangeline there would make things less awkward.

The black and white photo showcased Cole's gentle, benevolent face.

Roslyn looked up, studying the lines of the face she knew so well, and bowed deeply in a silent gesture of respect.

Evangeline was just behind her, but she could not take her eyes off Cole's photo.

Yale looked the same as ever, his voice flat as he thanked Roslyn.

"My sympathies." Roslyn nodded politely, ready to lead Evangeline away.

However, Yale then broke the silence. "It's been ages, Roslyn."

"Yeah, what, over two months?"

Roslyn recalled the last time she saw Evangeline, who was not showing at all. Times had changed, and her baby bump was impossible to miss.

Two months with no calls, no texts. They were like strangers in their own worlds.

Roslyn, used to the quiet, cracked a slight smile. "You're busy, Yale. Evie and I won't keep you."

She grabbed Evangeline's arm and spun to leave, moving so fast it was almost like they were escaping. Pregnant Evangeline struggled to keep pace.

Evangeline felt a pang of confusion. Was Roslyn that scared of Yale? She had never noticed before.

Not until she caught the wistful look in Roslyn's eyes.
