Wilda knew this grandson well. Evan looked gentle, but his mind was sharp. Empty excuses never worked on him.
So she stopped beating around the bush. “Pedro told me your legs are getting better. He said you might even stand up soon. I came to see if it’s true.”
Evan’s eyes darkened slightly.
He already understood, but his face stayed calm.
As his cousin, Pedro looked harmless, but he was also full of ambition. He would never spread news about his recovery out of kindness.
“There is some improvement,” Evan said quietly. “But I’m still far from standing.”
His answer was careful and reserved.
Wilda clearly didn’t believe him. In her eyes, Evan was always steady. If he said anything at all, it meant he had confidence.

His refusal made Wilda’s expression turn ugly.
She wanted to argue, but his gaze stopped her. In the end, she swallowed her words.
Wilda glanced at his legs, still without feeling, and let out a heavy sigh.
“If it weren’t for your accident back then, would I be worrying like this now

Evan didn’t respond to that. Instead, he asked calmly, “Do you think Mason is doing a bad job running the company?
“The company’s stock keeps rising. It’s even higher than when I was in charge. Every shareholder is making money. Isn’t that good enough?”
