Chapter 25
For the next two New Year’s, Evelyn spent them in Algaria.
Every year, Sophie’s parents would come over to celebrate together, and Sophie would always pull her along to join the family
gatherings.
As they spent more time together, their personalities and values resonated in harmony, forging a deeper bond.
That year, the Reynolds family had officially relocated all their business operations to Satbury, intending to settle there for good.
Sophie kept pestering Evelyn, asking if she had any plans to stay as well.
Evelyn had thought about this for a long time.
Back home, the few close friends she had all had their own families now, married and settled. Her parents and relatives had long
since passed, leaving her completely alone, with no property or assets tying her down.
From both a social and career standpoint, staying made the most sense.
Her career was thriving, and she had even saved enough money to buy a home of her own. She had once considered returning the
money Caroline had given her, but Sophie stopped her.
Sophie huffed and poked her angrily. “Are you stupid? You poured your heart and soul into taking care of a blind man for so long.
This is the least you deserve! Why would you give it back?”
After that, Evelyn never brought it up again and started preparing her immigration paperwork.
The Reynold family helped her a lot during this process, allowing her to get through the challenges smoothly.
With financial stability and a strong professional foundation, she turned down the promotion her boss had offered and instead
opened her own studio.
Over the next two years, the business grew steadily, eventually becoming a solid success.
By the end of her four–year residency requirement, Evelyn met all the conditions for immigration and successfully obtained her
permanent residency.
When she returned home to finalize the paperwork, she took the chance to meet up with her old friends.
Years had passed, and time had left its mark on everyone.
