Unmasking the Heiress

Chapter 541

Evangeline had been pregnant for three months already. Was it not almost time for a prenatal checkup?

Only the expectant mother, Evangeline, would be allowed to enter the doctor's office alone during the checkup. That was the easiest time for something to happen!

Although Walter was not entirely sure whether his suspicions were accurate, he thought it was better to be safe than sorry. For Evangeline's safety, there was nothing he would not do. With that in mind, Walter dialed Evangeline's number.

At the time, Evangeline was enjoying the cantaloupe Julieta had given her. The sweet taste eased the bitterness in her heart, lifting her mood quite a bit.

However, just as she relished that moment, it was interrupted by a phone call-Walter.

When his name flashed on the screen for the third time, Evangeline finally, albeit reluctantly, picked up the

call.

"Mr. Gordon, you better have something important to say. Calling me repeatedly-don't you have anything better to do?"

Walter was surprised to hear Evangeline's imitated tone

He had always thought Evangeline was a master at controlling her emotions. Whenever she wanted, she could handle anything flawlessly, without a single mistake. So, it was rare for her feelings to slip through. Even though she sounded annoyed, Walter was not upset. He found it rather fascinatingContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.

To him, what stood out even more than her annoyance was that she had chosen to reveal her feelings to him. That behavior brought them closer and left him no room to feel angry. Chuckling lightly, Walter calmly reassured her, saying. "Don't be mad. Of course, there's something important."

"Then, hurry up and say it," Evangeline replied bluntly. She sat back on the sofa, phone in hand, listening to Walter while continuing to enjoy the sweetness of her cantaloupe "Isn't it almost time for your prenatal checkup? Walter asked

Evangéline was so startled that the bite of cantaloupe she had just taken nearly got stuck in her throat. She coughed hard, finally managing to dislodge the piece of fruit.

"Why...are you asking about that?" No matter how much she had prepared for it, she never expected Walter to find the time in his busy schedule to ask her about a prenatal checkup!

"The child belongs to both of us. As the father, isn't it natural for me to be concerned?" Walter said casually.

"Of course, there's a problem," Evangeline responded, rolling her eyes dramatically.

I've told you, this child is mine. As for the tadpole fee, I've already paid you!"

When she wanted to sever all ties with Walter, Evangeline agreed to transfer all her Gordon Group shares that Trey had given her back to Walter. She never wanted the shares in the first place, so it was an easy

way to cut the last thread connecting Walter to her child.

"Tadpole fee?"

Hearing the unfamiliar phrase, Walter's mouth could not help but twitch.

He was honestly tempted to crack Evangeline's head open and see what it was made of!

What on earth was in that woman's mind?

Had she eaten something weird, or were all pregnant women like that?

At that moment, Evangeline, on the other end of the call, was simply too adorable.

"Yes, exactly," Evangeline replied, slightly embarrassed by her boldness. "This child just used one of your little tadpoles, right? So I paid you for it, didn't I?" Was that not clear enough?

If Walter had any sense, he would have understood exactly what she meant.
