Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)

Chapter 542

She never expected that.

"You killed it and think paying a usage fee is enough? Evangeline, that's not how you do business!"

Evangeline felt blood rush straight to her head.

What kind of nonsense was Walter spouting?

"Besides the usage fee, what else should I pay? Emotional damage for the tadpoles?"

Evangeline felt an unprecedented insult to her intelligence as soon as she said that.

"Walter, don't assume I didn't take biology in middle school. Even if I didn't use your tadpoles, it wouldn't survive more than a week anyway. It was bound to die eventually. Isn't it better to let it live on in another form than just to let it die off completely? "This is blatant extortion!"

Evangeline sorted her thoughts and fired back like a machine gun.

However, Walter had already decided to be shameless

"So what if it's extortion? What are you going to do about it? You can give me the tadpoles back, even their corpses, if you want. I'm not picky..."

Look at how generous he was.

Walter even thought he was incredibly reasonable, utterly unaware of how thick-skinned he really was.

Evangeline could not take it anymore.

"What exactly do you want?"

She felt like Walter had called her that day specifically to provoke her, and it was intentional!

She had no choice but to ask him what he was after to avoid further entanglement.

"When are you going for your prenatal check-up? I want to come with you."

Having finally achieved his goal, Walter spoke quickly.

Inside, though, he was calculating.

As long as he could accompany her to the check-up, with his identity, he would definitely be allowed into the examination room. That way, if anyone tried to harm Evangeline in secret, they definitely would not get the chance in the hospital!

"My check-up has nothing to do with you, and I don't need your company," Evangeline answered swiftly. By then, her marriage to Walter was nothing but a formality, only intact for her grandfather's sake since they had not officially signed divorce papers. She had already told herself to get used to the idea of being a single mother.

That way, after the baby was born, she could better adjust to life with her child and ensure that Walter

would not interfere with their lives.

"Also, Walter, let me be clear-I can take care of the child just fine on my own. If you still have any ideas. about fighting me for custody, you should give up now!

No matter what, she would never let Walter have her child!

Andrew had handed Julia to Walter, so after she officially divorced Walter, there was a good chance Julia would marry into the Gordon family.

How could she ever tolerate the daughter of the woman who ruined her family, becoming her child's stepmother?

Her only choice was to ensure that Walter gave up and stopped disrupting her and the child's lives!

Evangeline did not know that Walter's answer was completely different in his mind.

Why would he fight her for the child?

The child belonged to Evangeline, and he belonged to Evangeline, too.

Both of them were hers, so what was there to fight over?

However, that thought was far too sweet. Considering Evangeline's cold attitude toward him recently, even Walter, thick-skinned as he was, could not bring himself to say it. Instead, he had to come up with some reason that would leave her no excuse to reject him "Evangeline, first of all, let me clarify-I will never fight you for the child,"

Walter said solemnly, wanting to reassure her.

Sure enough, Evangeline relaxed a little.

"Then you-

you, to

"Do you think I'm the only one in the Gordon family? My grandfather knows I've angered you and nags me about it every day. He's been telling me to take this prenatal check-up as a chance to make it up to y win you back. He gave me strict orders-I must accompany you for his grandson's first check-up!"
