Evelin's POV
Gregory approached me, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. "Evelin, I'm your uncle—Jamiya's brother. I apologize for everything. My actions caused you and Jaxson to suffer, but that changes today."
I stared at him, shocked. The Thor family patriarch before me radiated guilt and remorse, genuine anguish evident in his gaze.
This wasn't the icy, arrogant man I'd encountered before—the one who'd ordered my harm without hesitation.
Could this truly be my uncle? My mind raced with confusion.
My prolonged silence dimmed Jaxson's expression, hope draining from his features.
"I understand," Gregory whispered. "I mistreated you before—nearly caused you harm. Your mother disappeared because of my negligence. I released her hand, failed to watch over her properly. If calling me uncle feels wrong, don't force it."
"But moving forward, whenever you need the Thor family's support, we'll be there."
