Trying to ignore his rumbling stomach, Walter suddenly spotted a him, and behind it, Evangeline's resigned
expression.

"Mrs. Lewis packed these, worrying I'd get peckish on the road. Have one to hold you over."
It was not that Evangeline was worried about Walter, in essence. She just felt bad for the guy-he was only this
famished because of her.
Walter shook his head. "No, you keep it."
Evangeline was expecting, and if her nanny had thought to pack snacks, it meant she probably needed to Meat
frequently.
He did not want to scarf down the sandwich and leave her hungry later.
Walter did his best to keep his cravings in check, eyes glued to the windshield, watching the road. He even toned
down his breathing to avoid being seduced by the scent. Evangeline knew he would not just take her word for it,
so she pushed the sandwich into his hand.
"Go on, eat. Mrs. Lewis made plenty, and we won't miss one. We've got a bit before we'll get to eat at Grandpa's.
You can't perform your best on an empty stomach."
The Foster elders had been tipped off about Evangeline's return and had gathered at the entrance early, eagerly
awaiting her arrival.

To everyone's surprise, the car pulling up was not just any car-it was Walter's. Holden's face flushed with anger in
an instant, but Yale, ever the peacemaker, understood why Evangeline had done what she did. He soothed his
younger brother and swung the door wide open to greet Walter, their nephew by marriage.
Cole had been resting up at the family place since his close call. His spirits were high, but his body had not quite
caught up. A major surgery was prone to have that effect when a few years have passed. The Fosters had spared
no expense, bringing in a round-the-clock nutritionist just to keep him steady.
As Evangeline and Walter strolled in, linked at the elbow, Cole was lounging on the couch, savoring the soup
whipped up by the nutritionist.
"Grandpa, what's that you're having? It smells amazing!" said Evangeline, leaning in with a grin.
Cole's face lit up when he spotted his granddaughter. Nothing like a bit of good news to perk someone up. His
cheeks turned a healthy shade of pink.
"Oh, it's this soup your uncles are so keen onhaving," he grumbled, but the twinkle in his eye and the smile
on his face told a different story. He waved a servant over.
"Fetch a bowl for the miss, will you? Let her have a taste!"
The servant dashed off, and Evangeline did not wait, grabbing the bowl as soon as it was in reach.
"Grandpa, you've got it all wrong. The guys hiring a nutritionist for you is just their way of showing they care. If
they left you to fend for yourself, you'd be the first to say all those years raising them were for nothing!"

She spooned up soatmeal and brought it to Cole's lips, her voice playful and teasing.
The Foster brothers, all five of them, were late to the scene, but just in tto catch Evangeline's loving
jab.
Yale caught on to Cole's vibe in a flash and jumped right into the conversation,
"Evie always knows what's up. Now that you're here, you've got to help us talk ssense into Grandpa. He's
gotta start taking the nutritionist's advice seriously!"
"Grandpa's being stubborn?" Evangeline shot Yale a doubtful look before her eyes landed on Cole.
