Nyomi? The nanny she had dismissed to the countryside? Evitas expression clouded with displeasure. Despite having reconnected with the Sanderson family for a while, Harlee had never addressed Evita with such warmth.
From the moment Harlee returned, Evita had taken it upon herself to establish dominance, ensuring Harlee understood she couldnt lean on the Sanderson family as Skyla had.

Yet, as Harlee repeatedly addressed Nyomi with such warmth, a peculiar feeling stirred in Evitas heart, a sensation she couldnt recall ever feeling before.
It was as if something within her was struggling to emerge.
Seated quietly on the floor, Evita pondered her past behaviors.

Was it wrong to strike a balance between Valentina and the Juarez family by asking Skyla to make a few concessions for Valentina, who wasnt related by blood? Evita mentally listed over a dozen things she didnt believe were wrong.
She couldnt comprehend why Skyla would rather risk being labeled as unfilial than offer her support to Elvin and the Juarez family.
She also couldnt fathom why, and at such a crucial moment, Skyla would bring in an unrelated nanny.

Alright, Ill take her for a walk when I pick her up later. Harlees words sent aripple through Evitas heart.
