The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 23

Sena was left stunned. Throughout her life, she had been doted on and hardly ever heard a harsh word, let alone get slapped.

"Evelyn, how dare you slap me!"

Furious, Sena raised her hand to slap back. But her hand had barely lifted when Evelyn caught it.

Evelyn stared at Sena, her gaze fierce, as if she was about to kill. "Sena, if I hear any more insults about Charlie from your mouth, I'll tear it apart!"

Sena was intimidated by the chilling aura emanating from Evelyn. Frightened, she instinctively took a step back.

Evelyn didn't want to stay a second longer. Sena's insults towards Charlie and Charles' indifference chilled her heart.

"Charles..." As soon as Evelyn left, Sena immediately turned to Charles, crying.

"Slap!"

Charles raised his hand and slapped Sena. It was a fierce slap. Sena staggered a few steps, but still couldn’t stand firmly, and fell to the ground.

She stared at Charles in disbelief. "Charles, did you just hit me?"

She had been with her mother at the Jenkins family since she was four. The Jenkins family had no daughters, and her uncle had always treated her as his own. In the entire Jenkins family, Sena was treated as the princess.

Although Charles didn't spoil her like the others, he had never laid a finger on her.

"Charles." Dahlia exclaimed. She hurriedly got up from the couch, walked swiftly to Sena, helped her up, and stood in front of her.

Charles watched Sena coldly. "Charlie is my daughter. If this happens next time..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but it made Sena shiver.

Charles left.

Sena stood there, tears hanging in her eyes, completely dumbfounded. Didn't Charles hate Evelyn and her daughter? Why was he so angry?

"Sena, Charlie is Charles' daughter, after all. When you insult Charlie, aren't you insulting Charles?" Dahlia helped Sena to sit down, but her tone was helpless.
