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 sonJet her be buned 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 ined 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 then own son like this, dont 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 dont worry I won’t shortchange the child. Til 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 Mt. 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?”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
