Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea
Chapter 5
Aria whispered to her son with a mix of affection and irritation, "Didn't Evangeline go looking for you last night? She's still not back? She's not with you? She can't have kids, and now she's out all night during the holidays, not answering her phone, breaking all the rules. Your grandpa is furious!
"I should've never agreed to let you bring her into this family. She's a country girl, nowhere near your league. Marrying into the Gordons was the luckiest thing to ever happen to her!"
Walter's mind flashed back to Evangeline's determined mention of divorce the previous night, to her drinking and shooting pool, so different from the demure image she maintained at the Gordons'.
Walter chuckled derisively. "We'll see about that."
Aria, not fully grasping Walter's intent and preferring to avoid the topic of the unwelcome daughter-in-law, said, "I heard Julia is back. I don't care if your grandpa agrees or not, I'm giving Evangeline three more months. If she can't get pregnant, she'll have to step aside for Julia!"
Walter's expression remained unreadable, but his eyes grew more distant. "Mom... Did you bring up the divorce with her?"
"What, should we let her keep her place in the Gordons forever?"
Walter could not help but laugh in frustration, wordlessly storming through the door.
"Hey! Walter!" Trey was waiting for him, propped up on his cane at the top of the steps. His face twisted with displeasure. "Get in my study, now!"
Walter strolled into the study with a defiant swagger.
Trey took a swing with his cane, landing a solid hit on Walter's leg. "You good-for-nothing, gallivanting around on New Year's Eve! I've heard the stories. Evie's talking about divorce!
"Listen to me: You still have a chance to fix this. Go find Evie, swallow your pride, and apologize. Do not take her for granted, because once she's gone, she's gone for good.
"I'm telling you right now that you won't find a better wife than Evie anywhere in this world!"
Walter stood there, biting back the pain. He lazily raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? You think you know her better than I
