Chapter 517
Yale was pondering all that, already plotting to get the information from Evangeline later.
Meanwhile, Cole, who had been anxiously waiting in the living room, caught a glimpse of Evangeline and Walter
looking cozy on the surveillance feed and felt a wave of relief wash over him. His mood lifted, and it showed.
So when he finally joined the crowd, Cole seemed in much better spirits than usual
Before anyone knew it, the living room was buzzing with people. The Foster brothers made sure to warmly
welcWalter, their nephew by marriage, acting like the whole divorce was just water under the bridge.
The warmth of the family gathering was infectious, and even Evangeline, who knew the truth of the matter,
could not help but be moved.
As they ate, Cole's eyes brimmed with tears, a testament to a lifetof memories. He reached out taking
Walter and Evangeline's hands and tenderly joining them together.
"Evie, Walter, knowing you two are so blissfully happy givespeace of mind," he said. "If the day comes when
| can't catch my breath and I head off to join your grandmother, I'll go with no regrets..."

Back in his heyday, he was a force to be reckoned with, always getting his way and rarely paying much mind to
the kids. However, with the years weighing on him, all he wanted was to see his children's joy and to cuddle a
few sweet grandkids-that would be enough.
Evangeline reached for Cole's hand, reassuring him, "Grandpa, stop with the gloomy talk. You're the picture of
health-you're going to outlive us all! And think about your great-grandson, my little golden boy, still growing
inside me. You wouldn't want him to miss out on meeting his great-grandpa, would you?"
"Alright, alright, no more of that talk..." Cole, still dabbing at his eyes, managed a smile.
"That's the spirit. We've got to stay healthy, especially since I'm counting on you to help with the little one.
Walter and | have it all planned out-once the baby arrives, we'll let the uncles run the company for a bit while we
go on a world tour, make up for the honeymoon we never had...*
Walter added, "Absolutely, Grandpa. You've got to stick around! Evie's right-we wouldn't trust our kid with
anyone but you."
With that, the family gathering wrapped up on a high note.
Under the gaze of onlookers, Walter gently helped Evangeline into the car with utmost care. As soon as the car
door shut, the shy, charming look on Evangeline's face vanished into thin air. Walter was still lost in the bliss of
being with his wife and child when he suddenly felt a coldness radiating from Evangeline.
"Walter, thanks for playing along with me, but now, it's tto let go....* Evangeline sat ngidly, unmoving in
Walter's arms, intentionally putting space between them to avoid any physical contact.
The sudden shift left Walter stunned and defenseless. With a look of disgust from Evangeline, he reluctantly
pulled back his hands. "Evangeline, do you really have to be like this? After all, | am the father Chapter 517
