The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 364

Evelyn left with Wesley from the charming little town of Rosewood. Brooks was waiting at the entrance. The moment he spotted her, he hurried over. Despite having listened to everything outside and knowing Evelyn was fine, he couldn't help but give her a once-over, just to be sure. Charles stepped out just in time to see Evelyn getting into Brooks' car and driving away, a dark expression clouding his eyes.

Back at Brooks' villa, Wesley was reeling from the day's events. He sat in a corner of the couch, head in hands, silent and withdrawn. Evelyn sat across from him. "Wesley," she said.

He ignored her, not bothering to look up or respond. Unfazed, Evelyn continued calmly, "If I hadn't taken you away today, you know what would have happened to you."

"I'm not some saint who helps someone who once tried to kill me without a good reason."

Wesley's grip on his head tightened. "You know what I want. You have a day to think about what you can offer me to keep helping you."

"If you can't, I have no reason to protect you anymore." She was pushing Wesley to hand over the dirt he had on Dahlia. "Think it over and give me a call."

After leaving her number on the table, Evelyn left with Brooks, leaving a security team to watch over Wesley. Wesley's eyes, partially hidden, flickered with shock. How did she know he had something on Dahlia?

At the hospital, Brooks had arranged for dinner, and he and Evelyn were there to dine with Josephine. Seeing them together made Josephine beam with happiness. She was quite fond of Brooks and could tell he genuinely cared for her daughter, Eve. Leaving Eve in his care gave her peace of mind.

Their relationship had been stuck, with the issue lying with Eve. So, when Brooks went to the restroom, Josephine took Evelyn’s hand. "Eve, I know you can't let go of what happened with Charlie, but I hope you have someone to lean on, someone who will stand by you and care for you."
