Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Sadly, it was all just a daydream, something that just could not happen. Her so-called engagement to Walter was a sham, and their child was never going to have the whole family picture.

Walter had only agreed to this baby-making business to put on a show for Cole. With the baby finally on the way, carrying the blood of both the Gordon and Foster clans, there were some serious talks that needed to happen, and fast. However, the first flutters of pregnancy had started hitting her. The second her head hit the pillow, sleepiness swamped her. She had to fight to not just fall asleep then and there. She was waiting for Walter to show. What she did not know was that Walter, out in the living room, was waiting on her too. They were both on standby for different reasons. She was waiting for him to walk through the door. He was waiting for her to invite him in. After remembering what the doctor had said and thinking about how he was feeling, Walter smartly took an icy shower and then, like a good boy, grabbed his blanket and relocated to the guest room to catch some sleep Evangeline, in her room, caught the commotion and thought Walter had finally decided to come in, but nope, he just spun on his heel and headed for the guest room.

Determined to get what she wanted, Evangeline seized the moment right before he shut the door and bolted for him. "Walter, wait."

Walter froze, not because he heard her, but because he was totally freaked out. His heart almost did a backflip when he saw Evangeline charging at him in her slippers. "Evangeline, there's no need to rush. Remember what the doctor said? No heavy exercise for you right now. You ran too fast earlier, you've got to watch out for that from now on." "Got it."

Evangeline could not help but notice for the first time just how much of a worrywart Walter had become..

She had to admit, his caution was rather important.

Back in the day, she was a lone wolf, doing whatever she pleased. Things were finally different with a baby on the way; she could not just live on a whim
