Chapter 166

Evan spent some time thinking about Lola’s pre–wedding vacation spot. Then, he finally pulled his thoughts back to work.

He spent the next 30 minutes buried in work

Comwall, his lawyer, called. “Mr. Welton, Deep–Water Harbor’s almost in our pocket. I think we can start commencing work on the land. Let me know your availability.”

“Let’s not rush into things so quickly. Shane won’t give up that easily. Make sure the legal paperwork for Deep–Water Harbor is all done up and ready.”

Comwall understood what Evan was trying to tell him. His reply showed an equal measure of caution. “Don’t worry, Mr. Welton. I’ll make sure everything is taken care of.”

“That’s great. Keep working on it,” Evan said. He trusted his lawyer.

“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” Cornwall replied.

Evan hung up. He started twirling the pen he was holding casually. It was obviously an expensive pen – finely made which allowed a smooth and easy grip. The young man stroked his chin thoughtfully. The image of Nathaniel popped up in his head.

He remembered how upset the boy had looked. There had been tears welling in the boy’s eyes.

Eudora had looked equally miserable despite her quiet and reserved demeanor.

Evan narrowed his eyes. He was convinced that they were his kids but he didn’t have any evidence to prove that.
