"You've barely unpacked from your trip abroad. Why the rush to work?" She figured Alex would chill for a bit, maybe catch up with Trey before diving into the job scene. It seemed he was already on the move.

Alex let out a sigh, pretending to be trapped by circumstance. "What can I do? The job landed in my lap, and the higher-ups said, 'Get over here now.' So, I went. Evangeline could not help but smirk.

For any regular person coming back from overseas, hustling for a quick buck made sense, but this was Alex. The sAlex who once made a fortune for the Gordons! Money troubles? As if.

"Spill it, Alex. Since when do you need cash? What's the real deal?" Their friendship went way back, even without bringing Walter into the mix. They could shoot straight with each other.

Alex hesitated, his voice tinged with the awkwardness of a nerve hit. Then, like he was done fighting it, he admitted in a calm voice, "Just bored." "What?" Evangeline was momentarily stunned.

"You heardright, being cooped up at his just too dull." Alex sounded like he was at his breaking point, and Evangeline picked up on a touch of frustration in his voice. She understood, of course. Alex's idea of 'dull' was not just about twiddling his thumbs; it was more about feeling lost. He just did not fit into the Gordon family lifestyle anymore.

It made sense upon second thought. Alex had been away for years, and he cback on a wheelchair, facing a world that had flipped upside down. No wonder he felt like a fish out of water.

Surely you're not expectingto cand hang out when I've got nothing better to do?" e still + She and Walter married, and Alex, being Walter's relative, meant getting too chummy could stir up trouble. "That crossed my mind." Alex deadpanned, not letting Evangeline get a word in edgewise, then added, " But all kidding aside, I'm actually here to extend an invitation from the school for you to join us at Avalon University as a guest professor. "You might be in the dark here, but at the birthday party, Evie, you shot to stardom with your violin performance. Your name's been buzzing ever since. And it just so happens that Avalon University is short +25 BONUS Chapter 198 a star professor. The Gordons and the Fosters go way back, so the school figured I'd be the one to reach out.

Evangeline's laughter rang out, bright and full of joy. "I may not have a degree from the Department of m Music, but Avalon University is still my old stomping ground. If they think I've got what it takes to teach the kids a thing or two about the violin, I'm all in." "Great, it's a deal. I'll see you at the school."

Evangeline was all about getting things done. Once she had smoothly passed her work off to Hank, she hopped in her car and headed for Avalon University. She was greeted by the sight of the familiar campus gates and the friendly face of the old security guard.

It had been ages since she had last set foot at her alma mater, and she cback as a teacher. Life sure knew how to keep things interesting.
