The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 373

"Okay," Sandy agreed, though she couldn't help but wonder if Wesley could really afford the things she liked. He always promised to buy her whatever she wanted, but could he really deliver?

It was getting late, and Sandy was feeling the weight of her eyelids. She let out a yawn.

Wesley wanted to spend more time with her, pondering how to get her to stay longer. Dahlia jumped in, "Why don't we let Sandy crash here tonight?"

"Sure," Wesley replied without hesitation.

Sandy was genuinely tired and drifted off to sleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow. Wesley sat beside her, occasionally adjusting her blanket, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. His love for her was as clear as day, his eyes lingering on her face, unwilling to look away.

Dahlia joined him on the bed, wrapping her arms around him from behind. She leaned in, her lips brushing his ear as she whispered, "Wesley~" The way she said his name sent a shiver down his spine.

When Wesley didn't react, Dahlia skillfully slipped her hand under his shirt. She knew exactly how to play him like a well-tuned instrument.

Wesley's breath hitched as he caught her hand, murmuring in a low voice, "Sandy's here."

"We could go to the bathroom," Dahlia suggested, her voice dripping with allure. "Wesley, don't you want to?"

With Dahlia, Wesley's self-control was nonexistent. She easily breached his defenses. Turning to her, he pulled her into his arms. With a swift motion, he lifted her effortlessly, as if she weighed nothing.

"Alright," Wesley nodded, aware of Sandy's love for diving. He had even gotten himself a diving instructor's certificate just to spend more time with her.

Wesley knew Dahlia was on a mission to find the evidence he held. But no matter how much she searched, she wouldn't find it on his phone. Meanwhile, he could use this as a chance to bond with Sandy.

"Bye, Daddy," Sandy waved as she followed Dahlia out the door.

Wesley watched them enter the elevator before he headed back to his room. He opened the bathroom door and retrieved a hidden camera he had placed earlier. Despite his lingering feelings for Dahlia, the trap she had set for him at Greenrose was burned into his memory. As long as Dahlia didn't play any more tricks and truly let him be with Sandy, he would keep his promise and take the secret to his grave.
