Chapter 1577:

After a long pause, Carl finally spoke. “So, you plan to let her return to the Independent Continent just like that?”

Seeing that he no longer opposed the engagement outright, Evelyn’s voice softened. “You’ve raised Corrine well. She’s kind, thoughtful, and strong. I’m not cruel. I won’t force her hand.
