Chapter 141 Evangeline was practically squirming as she listened to the doctor's instructions.
The doctor was so thorough that she covered everything down to the exact posture. She stopped just short of giving a play-by-play on how to get it on.
While Evangeline was busy trying not to curl up from embarrassment, Walter did not even bat an eyelash. Even with the doctor diving into super private stuff, the guy did not so much as blush. Seriously? This pre-baby appointment was turning into an epic disaster.

Walking down the hospital corridor, Evangeline and Walter were a few steps apart. They were kind of a big deal, and their presence set off a buzz among the onlookers.
As Evangeline walked by, she caught a snippet of conversation from a couple of gossiping doctors and nurses.
"Isn't that Mr. Walter Gordon of Gordon Group? Snumbskull must've spread a dumb rumor about him being impotent. He looks perfectly capable..." "Totally. Oh, and get this-Ms. Evangeline over there? She was in here a few days back for... a tear. What do you think could cause that kind of injury? If you ask me, it's all thanks to Mr. Walter Gordon's super strength, if you catch my drift." They snickered.
Evangeline shot them a furious look. However, they were too wrapped up in their chat to notice. She felt like a fool for getting worked up, and her anger redirected toward Walter.
Their whispers trailed on.
"People are saying they're heading for divorce, right? How does that add up with all this bedroom gymnastics?" "Who said that? Mr. Walter Gordon just had a pre-pregnancy checkup at our hospital a couple of days ago. Bet you didn't know that..." Evangeline's fists tightened out of sight, cursing Walter under her breath.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalter, being the heir to the Gordon fortune, obviously had his own ride and did not need Asher's services. This was the moment for him and Evangeline to go their separate ways.
Evangeline had been looking for a chance to break free from Walter, and she was itching to dive into the car and leave him in her dust.
A large hand beat her to it, unfortunately, blocking her escape.

With Hank new making his mark on Foster Group, she would have to be even more on her toes. "When have I ever been lounging around?" Walter shot back.
