Chapter 69 The Fatal Crash

• "You're an adult, Evelyn. Make your own decisions." Genevieve consoled
• "But if you find you can't carry this alone, you know where I am.""
• That night, Evelyn had slept with Clara in her arms. The little girl had been relentless, asking question after question about her "Daddy." Evelyn had described him carefully. His strength, his sharp intellect, his commanding presence, painting a picture for her daughter that matched the man currently ruling the Thorn Empire. It took nearly forty minutes longer than usual for Clara to drift off, her small heart full of new dreams about the father she had never met.
