After his father passed away too soon, Walter's mother, a widow, had bore the burden of their lives within the
Gordon family for years, always the target of others' mistreatment. That all changed when Walter took charge of
the family business. The person who had made
life difficult lost their resolve left the estate, and at last, their lives took a turn for the better.
So, looking out for herself and her son had becher survival instinct. How could anyone fault her t that? If she
was ambitious, was it not all for him?
He could not stop thinking about how wrong he had been
Aria shot Walter an irritated look. "Why am | here, you say? To pamper my ungrateful son, ther's why! Here, |
made your favorite Roasted Pear and Butternut Squash Soup."
She scooped up a small bowl from the pot and handed it to Walter. "Be careful, it's fresh off the stove and still
hot. Take it slow."
Walter stared at the soup in his hands, his eyes brimming with tears that he fought to keep at bay
"Mom, I'm sorry." His voice was thick with emotion, a lump forming in his throat, growing and pressing until it felt
like it would tear him apart.
"Don't be silly. What are you apologizing for? Just enjoy your soup."

Ever since Walter took the reins of the company, he had been as elusive as a mythical dragon, hardly ever seen.
Heart-to-heart talks with his mom had beca rare event. Walter slurped his Roasted Pear and Butternut
Squash Soup, glancing at his mom's teary eyes, and cracked a joke to break the tension.
"Mom, this is just a scratch. It's not like | broke a bone. This fancy soup is just a band-aid, not a curet
"You cheeky boy. Regardless, you're going to drink it because | made it!" Aria playfully smacked Walter's arm,
unable to contain her laughter at his goofy face.
Watching Walter relish the soup more with each spoonful, she could not help but start to nag a little Walter, you
and Evie haven't really patched things up, have you?" Walter stopped mid-sip, his eyes clouding over with a mix
of emotions before he looked up and replied," Of course we made up. Mom, why would you think otherwise?"
"Don't try to fool me. | overheard you and Evie in your room. You're just putting on a show of affection for Cole's
sake, right?"
The moment the words left Aria's mouth, Walter's face drained of color, and she knew she had hit a nerve
A mother knew her son best, and Walter's reaction was a clear sign he truly cared for Evangeline
She thought back to how Evangeline had been so modest and accommodating when the first joined the family
and was filled with regret. She had such a wonderful daughter-in-law, and she had not appreciated her.
Her sons tife was a mess and despre the fact then his wife was carrying their grandchild, they weis still on
the back of divorce!
