Eva again starts sobbing hard, and Michael again started consoling her
Rose, who was observing this, was in tears, too. Steve noticed this and commented to make the atmosphere light
“Come on, mom, now don’t you give competition to Eva. See how nicely she is crying out so much in tune.
Rose smacked on his arm, and others giggled. A smile made his way to Eva’s face too.
Michael gave an appreciating nod at Steve
Rose came forward and asked Michael about his health
“What should I say, Rose?" That moment I felt like I cannot even see Eva last time."
“Don’t say likewe have to complete many pending responsibilities, attend your daughter’s wedding, then play with your grandkids, and then see their wedding too before that. We are not letting you go no matter how much you try.”
Michael smiled at her words. Eva was glad that his dad was facing the situation more bravely than she expected
After having lunch with Michael, the Smith family took their leave as Rose had to reach home for the proper dinner arrangement and the Smith men had to reach the office to attend some meetings. Actually, it was Michael who advised them to leave, as he wanted to discuss Stephen with Eva
It was evening time when Eva was feeding some fruits to her dad, Michael stated with his thoughts
“Eva… trust me, dear, the time when the truck hit my car, I only thought about you, I was worried that I cannot be with you anymore
And was going to leave alone in this world.
I know William told you about your grandparents’ and your mother‘s background
It’s more than clear that my accident is the outcome of Liam’s rage for losing half the assets to you, and I am now scared for you.” “
“Don’t worry, dad, I have already decided that I will call harry and inform him we are ready to return those assets but in return they should harm none of us, especially you."
Michael smiled in tears as she repeated the same lines which her mother asserted long time ago
“ Eva, I am really proud of you for taking this decision, but this time your grandfather put up a hard term and conditions."
“What terms? And what do you mean we cannot return these assets?"
“Your grandfather had an idea that our daughter will refuse this fortune as her mother did, so he put a clause that if you wish to return these assets, they will donate it to a trust which will be created in your mother’s name. “
“
“What? So what option do we have?”
“Liam and harry will try again to harm us more precisely, kill us, as the other clause will work for them."
“Which clause?”
“If you lost your life, I mean die in some accident or illness, then this property will remain with the Hudson's."
Eva dropped the knife in horror. She couldn’t believe that some people could be so lethal for money that they will not hesitate to kill others
“You mean they will.”
“Relax, I found a way for this problem too; buy before I advise you that, I want an honest answer from you."
Eva nodded to go ahead
“Do you have someone special in your life? I mean, do you love someone or like someone special?"
