NovelEnglishChapter 382
The old Gordon family hhad undergone sobvious changes
Every hard corner had been cushioned with soft padding, and any dips or bumps in the floor had been evened
out by skilled hands. No one had to tell Evangeline why. She knew those were all Trey's doing, baby-proofing the
place for the little one she was carrying. Walking through the house, each alteration from her memories made
her eyes well up with tears she fought to keep at bay.
Evangeline had lost her mother at a young age, and with her father remarried, she never got to bask in the kind

that.
The maid ran off like a scared rabbit
The water in the basin on the nightstand had cooled down after the little commotion. Evangeline rinsed the
towel, checked the temperature with a careful touch, and then sat beside the bed to gently wipe his face Walter
maintained his composure on the outside, but inside, he was reeling from the surprise.
It felt like forever since Walter had seen Evangeline that way-so kind and wise, the picture of a perfect. partner
and mother
He noticed her face was a shade too pale, and it hit him. How could he have forgotten? Evangeline was pregnant
with his child. He should not have her waiting on him hand and foot
He reached out, his hand covering hers, halting her mid-wipe.

"Stay still," she said, her voice soft but firm as she slipped away from his grasp. The towel continued its wat path
across his face, then down to his hands.
