Chapter 28 - HER FATHER'S LAST LESSON
Thomas visited Evelyn at Sterling-Apex headquarters.
He looked around the office.
“You've changed everything.”
Evelyn smiled.
“So have you.”
Thomas frowned.
“What do you mean?”
“You finally stopped trying to protect me from the truth.”
He laughed.
“I suppose I did.”
They walked toward the window.
Thomas looked down at the employees entering the building.
“Your mother would have loved what you've done.”
Evelyn smiled.
“She would have challenged half my decisions.”
Thomas laughed.
“Definitely.”
Then he became serious.
“Evelyn, there is something I need you to know.”
She turned.
“When I first built Sterling Development, I thought the company was my legacy.”
“And now?”
Thomas looked at her.
“My legacy is that you don't need me anymore.”
Evelyn's eyes filled.
She hugged him.
It was not the embrace of a daughter seeking approval.

It was the embrace of two adults who had finally learned how to trust one another.
