Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 70

Evangeline winced as Aria's piercing voice echoed in her ears, prompting her to reflexively rub them.

There were times Evangeline seriously considered getting Aria some throat lozenges to save her voice and her sanity. How did Aria manage to vell like that day in and day out?

Evangeline nonchalantly replied, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's your son's handiwork. He can be a bit rough, but I can't say I mind it..."

"Here's your coffee, miss." The waiter set it down next to Evangeline with a practiced grace before turning to leave.

Aria put on an act of contrition. "Evie, I got a little carried away just now, and that's on me. I mean, if there's no spark between you and Walter, why keep the dance going, right? It'll only end in tears. "Give that contract a good thought. I'll smooth things over with Walter, too."
