The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 26

Evelyn clung to Charles, her body bouncing as he walked. The bouncing made her stomach churn. Her beautiful face twisted in discomfort.

Just as they reached the bedside, Evelyn felt a wave of nausea.

Charles' expression changed instantly, and his steps halted. "Evelyn, don’t you dare..."

Before Charles could finish his threatening words, Evelyn vomited all over him. All he could say was, "Wow." The arousal in him was instantly doused.

Without hesitation, he flung Evelyn onto the bed as if discarding trash.

Evelyn let out a muffled groan of discomfort.

Charles stood by the bed, staring at Evelyn, who had vomited all over him yet remained clean herself. His face darkened.

The wine was fragrant, but the vomit was extremely foul-smelling. The pungent smell aggressively invaded his nostrils. It was nauseating.

At that moment, Charles felt an urge to strangle Evelyn. He couldn't bear it for a second, turned and strode into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Charles emerged from the bathroom with a cold face. He put on the new clothes that were delivered, didn't glance at Evelyn again, and left with a scowl.

...

The following month was a busy one for Evelyn.

She devoted all her energy to winning the million-dollar prize in the competition and buying Charlie a burial plot in a good location.

Day and night, she poured her heart and soul into her work. Now, all that was left was to wait for the results.

In a blink, it was the day of the award ceremony.

Backstage, Evelyn ran into Samuel.

"Samuel." Evelyn approached him respectfully and greeted him warmly.

Samuel was pleased. He was always serious, but now his face softened with a rare tenderness.

The award ceremony was in the afternoon, and the results were already out. He watched Evelyn with admiration evident in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh, "Evelyn, I knew it. As long as you participated, you would definitely be the champion."

He had said the same thing to her five years ago, so bringing it up now made his intentions clear.

Evelyn felt somewhat surreal. She had given her all in this competition, but until the very last moment, her heart was still in suspense.
