Unmasking the Heiress

""You're welcome."

He had wanted to add-'mother of my child."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Walter realized those words were inappropriate, so he tactfully held them back.

The hand that had been resting on Evangeline's waist stiffened. It was only when Evangeline returned to her senses that she pried his hand off and created a safe distance between them.

Walter did not feel awkward, though. Instead, he took the opportunity to say what he had already planned.

"Evangeline, the baby is stable now, and we need many things. Why don't we go shopping and buy some things for the baby?"

He did not want to miss a single moment of the baby's life. However, given the state of their relationship, he could only take every opportunity he had to prepare for the baby. As for the rest, he would work hard to win the child's mother back. Naturally, he would not let his child go without.

"Shopping? Now?" Evangeline asked in surprise, her hand instinctively moving to her belly. "Isn't it a bit early? We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl!"

Ever since she got pregnant, she had not had a peaceful day. Thankfully, the fetus was still tiny, so she had not felt rushed to buy anything yet. Besides, even if she did not buy anything, when the day came for her to give birth, her brothers and uncles certainly would not let the baby go without anything. "Yes, today, while I have the time."

Walter had already made preparations to ensure he could stay with Evangeline peacefully. He had rushed to finish urgent work and postponed the rest so he could be there for her doctor's appointments and go shopping with her.

"But..." Evangeline hesitated, remembering her uncle's warnings.

There were people out there who wanted to harm her, lurking in the shadows. If she went shopping, would she not make herself an easy target?

Her indecision made Walter's heart tighten painfully. He knew how dangerous her situation was, so he had already arranged for David to clear out the mall. Everything was ready. They just needed to go

Evangeline's safety was his top priority-he could not afford to be careless.

"The mall's already been cleared out, and all the staff are waiting for us," Walter said, doing his best to ease her worries. "Besides, Evangeline, as the father, I want to do something for our baby. Please try to understand how I feel, just like I understand you." Walter rarely spoke so gently. His deep voice and slightly husky tone were irresistibly charming, just like the first time they had met.

Evangeline's once unshakable heart began to waver ever so slightly.

If the mall had been cleared, it would be fine, right?

With that thought, Evangeline gently stroked her belly as her beautiful eyes fell on Walter. She nodded.

She could not refuse Walter's care for the baby. After all, as the child's parents, how could she deny the baby the chance to experience its father's love?

The black Rolls-Royce drove steadily, eventually stopping at the largest mall in Avalon City. Located in the heart of the shopping district, it was completely empty at that moment.

Only a few uniformed staff could be seen here and there, all waiting for Walter's arrival,

Meanwhile, Julia, longing for Walter, lay quietly on a large bed, allantly observing everything around her.

Her mission had failed. She had planned to go to the mall and go on a shopping spree to vent her frustrations. However, as soon as she got into the taxi, she learned the mall had closed.
