"Ms. Evangeline, with the way you're sneezing up a storm, you shouldn't be hanging around here. No matter how
clean your clothes are, they'll pick up dust, and that's no good for your nose. Why don't you head downstairs and

back home. He had finished all his chores early and was just lounging in the living room, eagerly awaiting her
return.
The thought of his hopeful look made Evangeline's heart waver. Before she moved back, she had not given it
much thought.
However, the idea of being around her grandfather all the tscared her. She dreaded the moment he might
bring up Walter, such as why Walter had not visited with her pregnancy becoming more obvious with each
passing month...
Julieta had been by Evangeline's side for months and could read her like an open book. She gave Evangeline's
shoulder a reassuring pat and said softly, "Ms. Evangeline, your grandpa is getting on in years, and to put it
bluntly, every day he's here is one less day we have with him.
"He woke up today, but who's to say about tomorrow? Would you want to miss out on precious family tover

Evangeline was struck by a wave of reflection. Cole was old and sickly. She blamed herself for being so
headstrong, so focused on hiding her relationship troubles with Walter that she had overlooked the most
important person her grandfather!
Was everything she did not supposed to make him happy? Yet there she was, able to share joyful moments with

much."
Julieta smiled warmly and gave her hand a reassuring pat. "It's nothing, dear. You better get going now. Your
grandpa has been waiting for you downstairs for ages." Down in the living room of the old house...
Cole lounged on the couch, eyes glued to the television-or so it seemed. He was actually all ears for any sound
from upstairs.
His beloved granddaughter was home, and he would get to see her every day then. How could he not be over
the moon?
Right then, footsteps echoed from the staircase.
Cole's face lit up, but he quickly slipped back into his casual television-watching act.
Evangeline, coming down the stairs, was greeted by that unexpected sight.

That was a total break from the norm, and it could only mean one thing he was waiting for her.
She felt a fresh wave of thanks for Julieta's nudge. Otherwise, who knew how long she would have lingered
upstairs?

She peeked at the screen with mock curiosity.
There it was, the television was showing the latest hit series ‘Gof Thrones', which was not exactly the
costidol it was made out to be.
Evangeline, laying low from her phone during her pregnancy, had been even more cautious about television
time.
She only knew about that show because of her friend Roslyn, the singer-turned-actress.
Roslyn was in that show, but she was not the star-she played the third lead.
