Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 109

Little did Walter know, this night was not going to be just any ordinary night, and the quiet he longed for was nowhere in sight.

Evangeline, having failed to find Walter at his Crystal Waters apartment, decided to camp out at the Gordon family mansion. With Julia out of reach and nothing better to do, she figured she might as well wait there. She could not imagine Walter would stay away from home

By the time she arrived, Trey had fallen asleep, and her ex-mother-in-law Aria, who never got along with her, was out of sight. Evangeline shooed away the servants and settled into the living room, ready for a long, solitary vigil.

She had expected to sit in the quiet, waiting for Walter to show up. Before she could even get comfortable, however, a familiar figure appeared, carrying a steaming cup of tea to the coffee table.

"Evie, you're back! How was work today? Tired? Here, take a break and have some tea," the voice said cheerfully

Instead of setting the tea down, the cup was promptly placed into Evangeline's startled hands. She blinked in surprise, wiping her eyes to make sure she was not imagining things.

Serving tea and being so attentive, could it really be Aria, her former mother-in-law?

Evie took the tea automatically, her eyes wide with surprise.

Before she could even think about how to address Aria, Aria beat her to it, asking, "Evie, are you feeling out of place?" She awkwardly touched her hair, "I know I've changed a lot, but..." She seemed to struggle to find the words, letting out a frustrated sigh before finally finding the courage to
