Lounging on the garden rocking chair, Trey enjoyed his coffee and casually rang up Walter. "Walter, swing by the
house tonight, I've got something to discuss with you."
Walter did not have a clue about treating his wife Evangeline right. If Trey did not step in and set him straight,
they might end up with divorce papers. What then? Where would he find another gem like Evie for a
granddaughter-in-law? "Grandpa, I'm swamped with work. Can't make it home, declined Walter without a second
thought.
He had plans with Minnie that evening, and bailing was not an option.
However, what weighed on him the most was his rocky relationship with Evangeline. He was not even sure if he
should spill the beans about the pregnancy to his grandfather, much less face him head-on.
Walter, a titan in the boardroom known for his cutthroat decisiveness, found himself unusually hesitant, trying to
dodge his problems with half-hearted excuses
The realization stung. That was not him at all.

The situation with Evangeline was enough to break Walter's heart, draining all his strength.
"You think you're so grown-up now, Walter? Too big to listen to me?" Trey rarely lost his composure, but just as he
was about to let loose, all he got was the dial tone. Walter had hung up on him!

Meanwhile, Aria, having neatly handled Trey's requests, brought him his coffee, seizing the chance to get on the
old man's good side.
"Father, I've got everything you asked for all set up. The moment Evie makes her move, our team will be right on
it. There won't be any delays with the baby's arrival, you can count on that!"
She thought it was rather premature to be making those plans when Evangeline's baby was barely two months
along. Of course, if it made the old man happy, why not go the extra mile?
A little extra effort could score spoints with the old man was always a win in her book.
However, Trey, after hearing her, did not respond. Instead, he just stared at her with wide eyes, giving her
