That being said, Evie, I have named you sole beneficiary to everything I own. The house is under your name now, as is a small lake house your grandfather and I owned near Lake Harmony.
As far as my shares in the company, I understand you want nothing to do with that, but they are under your name as well. I have discussed with David Thompson the need for a possible buyer and all that is needed is your approval.
Nathan and I have both gathered evidence in regards to the way the company has been handled, but it's your call as far as what to do. You can turn them in or try to make a difference with your shares. I trust you will make the right choice.
My life insurance goes to you as well. I am confident that you will manage and use it wisely.
I know your mother will lose it, but please, darling, stay strong. Pay no mind to her.
Know that I am incredibly proud of you, Evelyn. Remember that no one has the power to dull your shine unless you let them. And remember, you have the power to change the world in your hands. I believe in you.
I love you with all my heart, Evie. I always have. You are my most precious treasure, my sunshine. I will watch over you forever, and I can't wait to see you grow up and watch over my great grandchildren because I will always be there. Don't ever forget that.
With much love,
Your Nana
I smiled sadly, looking over at Nathan who was simply gauging my reaction.
“Are you okay?” he asked, taking my hand.
“She left me everything,” I breathed. Nathan's eyes widened in shock, then compassion when he saw how confused I looked. “And I don't know what I'm going to do. It's a lot to handle.”
Nathan sighed, shaking his head. “Rest on it, think about his tomorrow, Evie. You don't have to decide anything today.”
I thanked him and placed a kiss on his cheek.
“I hope you know I'd be with you regardless.”
“I know,” I replied.
He smiled, leaning down and giving me a quick peck on the lips. He was right, whatever I decided to do, I could think about it tomorrow.
