but can you believe this confession?
it seems to me so out of place... what great effort should it be for Elaine to cut off relations with a person with whom she has avoided all her life, forced or not, to have any. ok, she has many feelings of guilt towards MC, but should these feelings of guilt be so strong as to make this condition a real effort for her?
in practice her condition in the will would be to continue to live as she has always lived, but with more money and more freedom.
then also all the reassurances that she gives to mc, what sense do they have? she does not want to cut the relationship with him, so she would not inherit anything, but if she inherits something and mc nothing she would make sure to share it with him. it does not make sense, it is like promising to share the winnings of a lottery in which you do not participate.
i'm not convinced of Elaine's disloyalty, but i don't think her conditions are really those
