Chapter 140
Six dishes and one soup, all made by Walter himself,
Evangeline stared at the feast before her, utterly gobsmacked.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Who would have guessed that the high-and-mighty young master of the Gordon family could whip up a storm in the kitchen?
Walter noticed Evangeline spacing out again, her food untouched, and he reached over to load up her te. "You''ve got to eat up if you''re thinking about kids. You can''t make a baby if you''re malnourished. Evangeline stared at the braised vegetables in her bowl
Seriously? Was Walter on a mission to fatten her up for baby-making?
Then, she heard him add, "We should swing by the hospitalter for a full check-up. If all''s well, we can start nning for a little one."
Before Evangeline could even process this, her phone buzzed to life. It was Cole calling.
"Evie, Asher is on his way to Crystal Waters House to fetch you. You''re due for a pre-baby doctor''s visit,"
he said.
With Trey and Walter watching, Evangeline''s toes curled in embarrassment.
"Grandpa, do we really have to? I''m perfectly healthy... Her voice trailed off, weak and uncertain.
Inside, her mind was racing with the weird timing. Walter had just mentioned a check-up, and all of a sudden, Grandpa was on the same page. The ride to the hospital was already en route as well! "What do you mean, healthy? Walter''s fit as a fiddle, and you two haven''t managed to have a baby after all this time. You must be ying tricks, not wanting to get pregnant...
Evangeline''s eyes went wide with indignation, but she was too flustered to speak. When she nced at Walter, he was trying to hide a smirk. That just made her blood boill
It was his fault, always dodging the baby talk, that they had not had a child yet. He had the gall to pin it on her?
At that moment, she knew for sure that Walter was the one pulling the strings behind her back!
Evangeline was right, of course. Walter and Cole had been talking about him starting a family for a while.
Actually, it was more like Walter had just gone through a pre-pregnancy check-up and had shared.st detail of his results with Cole.

Cole''s assistant, Asher, was a real whiz kid. In no time at all, he showed up at Crystal Waters House.
With Walter''s piercing eyes on her, Evangeline climbed into the car, her face a mix of mortification and fury.
At the hospital, the OB-GYN stared at theputer screen, studying the medical history before asking in a t tone, "When did youst have sex?" Evangeline drew a nk.

She was just there for a pre-pregnancy check-up. Who would expect a pop quiz on her sex life?
Thest time was
Before she could even jog her memory, Walter chimed in
"A week ago. To be exact, it was on the sixteenth of this month," Walter consulted the calendar on his phone as he spoke.
The doctor typed something into theputer and then said. "The sixteenth isn''t an ovtion day, so the odds of getting pregnant are slim. Mr. Campbell mentioned you''re eager to conceive soon, is that right?" Evangeline, cheeks burning gave a small nod.
Always having wanted kids, Evangeline found that Walter had been dragging his feet until this day.
The doctor took a quick look at the calendar and offered some advice.
"Okay, first things first, you guys were both in great shape health-wise. Really, it was just about timing and patience when it came to making a baby. No stress was needed.
"Now, since you''re eager for a child, I pinpointed the best baby-making time for you. Mark your calendar for the twenty-eighth-
thats in five days. Your magic window is between eight at night to midnight. Hold off on any action until then to make sure those swimmers are in top shape.
"When the timees, go for it more than once if you can, and stick to the ssic missionary-it''s your golden ticket for conception. After you finish the deed, you shouldn''t jump straight into the shower, miss. Instead, prop a pillow under her hips to give those little guys a chance to settle in for at least fifteen minutes Trust me, it could make all the difference."
