The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1387:

Rosanna had never been able to stomach Elsa’s forceful personality. The woman always pushed her own agenda, demanding that others fall in line unreasonably.

Yet this time, Elsa’s reasoning struck closer to the truth than Rosanna cared to admit, leaving her torn as her gaze drifted between Emmett and Shari. She had considered asking Emmett to retire earlier than planned and for Shari to do the same, so they could both help her care for her daughter.

But the words never left her lips. Even she knew it was unreasonable to ask them to abandon their careers for her sake.

Still, she simply didn’t want Elsa to be the one looking after her child.

Emmett studied Elsa for a long moment before speaking at last. “If you want to care for our granddaughter, then do it. Shari and I both have our work. Shari still has room to grow in her career, and I don’t plan to retire yet. My position won’t rise much higher, but I want to keep working for a few more years. And Ethan’s girlfriend is doing design work for the military. I can make sure no one takes advantage of her.”
