“Evelyn what the hell are you doing?
Eleanor, scared out of her wits, rushed over, only to be stopped by Bernard
The man’s icy gaze held a hint of anger ‘Let her go
Evelyn seemed a bit frightened ton, stammering This is my granddaughter my son’s child left to me
Witnessing the situation George stepped forward and reproached Evelyn. The court has made its decision, yet you’re still clinging to the child. Have you thought about her
feelings?
Hearing this. Evelyn glanced down at Nina in her arms, only to find the little girl batting her big eyes, clearly disappointed Evelyn fait a complicated mix of emotions
Noticing her hesitation, Eleanor spoke up. Evelyn, Nina wants to be with me, not you If you truly love this child then please respect her choice
Evelyn seemed reluctant holding Nina close and shaking her head at Eleanor “She’s my granddaughter With her around, I don’t have to miss Ethan by staring at his pictures all day Ms Shultz you’re still young you can have children In the future, you’ll have your own kids. But for me, all I have is her
The longing for her son was evident on Evelyn’s face, causing Eleanor to frown slightly ‘But Ethan’s last wish was to entrust the child to me Ning’s wish is to be with me too Shouldn’t you consider their perspectives
Before Evelyn could respond to Eleanor’s words, Nina flashed her a toothy grin and exclaimed, “Bad woman, you only force me to leave from my love ones I don’t want to go with you, let go of me, or Ill bite you
True to her word. Nina bit down on Eleanor’s hand
After her son’s death, Evelyn had lost so much weight due to loss of appetite that even with Nina’s full force, she only bit into a layer of skin
Looking at Nina, Evelyn inexplicably loosened her grip.
Nobody paid much attention to why she let go. As soon as she did, George rushed over and scooped up the child.
The crowd glanced at her, then climbed into their cars.
Only Eleanor turned around to look at Evelyn
It was this look that gave Evelyn courage to stop Bernard’s car…
Bernard thought she was about to snatch the child again and was about to have Aidyn Reyes get out of the car to drive her away, but then he saw her bend down to look at Eleanor in the car
“Ms Shultz, can I can I visit Nina at your place in the future?”
She had realized her harshness towards her son and daughter–in–law when George and Pearce accused her in court
Evelyn had spent most of Ethan’s childhood pushing him to study, solely concerned about him taking over the Hooper and Ziegler families, but without truly caring for him as a person. This became
especially evident when she discovered Ethan’s relationship with Emilia. She went to great lengths to try and break them up.
Her actions played a significant role in the conflict between Emilia and Ethan When George challenged her in court, she found it difficult to respond because she knew she had been unkind to Emilia
Thoughts of Ethan brought immense pain to Evelyn’s heart. She believed that taking custody of the child, Nina, would somehow ease her sorrow. However, it wasn’t until this moment that she realized even having Nina wouldn’t bring Ethan back. She questioned if she should selfishly ignore her son’s last wish
This realization eventually led Evelyn to give up her struggle for custody understanding that it was the right thing to do
Despite her decision, it was hard for Evelyn to let go of the fact that Nina was Ethan’s biological daughter and her own granddaughter
The first time Eleanor saw Evelyn, she appeared lively, but now on this occasion, she noticed the toll that time had taken on her her face was lined with wrinkles, and ber
hair had turned white
Feeling pity for Evelyn, Eleanor turned to ask Nina. “Serenina, are you okay with this?”
She respected Nina’s choice
