Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 69

Evangeline had not guessed Walter was only pretending to sleep. A wave of embarrassment washed over her. She had been about to cover him with a blanket, and he had not been asleep at all! Her well-intended action then felt like a cruel joke.

Evangeline snapped, "I was just looking at an animal."

Walter narrowed his eyes, taken aback by the woman's biting wit as soon as she opened her mouth. He clicked his tongue and pulled Evangeline close.

He was curious to taste her defiant spirit.

Their lips met in a deep, unexpected kiss.

Surprisingly, her kiss was sweet, a stark contrast to her sharp words.

The thought lingered in Walter's mind, compelling him to kiss her more intensely.

Evangeline had not seen it coming. Walter's lips had swiftly moved from hers to her neck, leaving a trail of fervent kisses that sent a wave of tension through the air. She snapped back to reality.

Why should she let him have his way?

She had wanted a child, and he had flatly refused, leaving her humiliated. All that, and he just decided to kiss her on a whim?

Evangeline shoved Walter away. "Get lost!"

Her voice was unapologetically harsh as she turned and retreated to her bed.

The broken spell left Walter's face growing stern with annoyance.

His pride would not let him grovel after being rejected. He massaged his aching temples, trying to regain his composure.
