A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 675

Evelyn seemed to realize her actions were a bit too obvious, immediately raised her hand to tidy up her sleeves, and looked at Eleanor, her eyes looked very natural."Ms. Shultz, since your sister bore a daughter for my son,let her be buried in the Ziegler family plot as Ethan's wife."

She lowered her tone, and at the same time put forward her request, "However, this child must be raised by me in the future." George only realized he might have spilled too much tea when he heard Evelyn wanted to take over the child. He quickly tried to cover his tracks: "Ethan's will, it leaves Ms. Shultz in charge of the child."

For Ethan's parents, it's always been a game of self-interest. When Ethan was obedient, they groomed him as their heir. If he was disobedient, they'd rather pass the inheritance to a nephew they could control, not him. If they treated their own son like this, don't even get me started on their granddaughter.

Eleanor was hip to their game, quickly chiming in: "This will is legally binding. He left me in charge."

Evelyn couldn't help but chuckle at their words. What kind of logic is this? The grandparents are still alive and kicking, how could it possibly fall to her to take care of the child?

Though Evelyn thought this way, she still assured Eleanor: "Ms. Shultz, don't worry. I won't shortchange the child. I'll take good care of her, give her the best love, send her to the best schools."

This might be sincere, given Evelyn's deep love for Ethan. But Eleanor couldn't shake the feeling that Evelyn was hiding a lot, like she had some beef with them. If there was resentment, would Evelyn truly treat Nina well?

Eleanor remained suspicious of Evelyn. She thought she might even go to court if necessary to keep her sister's child with her. But right now, the most important thing was to get Nina back.

She figured Mr. Ziegler, having lost one son, wouldn't dare harm another, even if he was an unwelcome illegitimate child. So, more talk with him was pointless.

Word had it that Evelyn came from a big family in G country, and Mr. Ziegler always walked on eggshells around her. With Evelyn's grudge against Casey backing her up, getting Nina back should be easier.

After analyzing the situation, Eleanor said to Evelyn: "Evelyn, let's discuss the child's custody later. The most important thing right now is to retrieve the child from Casey. What do you think?"

Seeing Eleanor didn't immediately agree, Evelyn knew that Eleanor didn't intend to give the child to her to raise. However Eleanor was right, now wasn't the time to fight over custody. The most pressing matter was to sort out Ethan's funeral, then get the child back, and finally bury Casey with him.

The coldness in Evelyn's eyes was all seen by Eleanor, and she felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't say anything.
