The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 395

"Andrew, don't you dare mention Charlie again. You don't deserve to!"

Evelyn clutched her chest, feeling like her heart was being torn apart, the memory of Charlie weighing heavily there.

How crushed would her Charlie be, hearing her beloved dad defend the one responsible for his death over and over?

"Eve..."

"Get out!"

Evelyn cut Andrew off with an icy tone, her hatred unmistakable.

Andrew watched the woman in front of him, bristling at the mere mention of Dahlia and Charlie.

Her obsession ran deep.

But he couldn’t let her continue down this reckless path, targeting Dahlia and risking her own destruction.

"Eve, you know. As long as I'm around, you can't touch Dahlia."

Andrew said, hoping Evelyn would back down.

She needed to stop being so stubborn.

Hurting others only ends up hurting yourself.

But to Evelyn, his words meant that no matter what Dahlia had done, even if her sins were unforgivable, Andrew would always protect her, leaving Dahlia untouched.

From the start, Evelyn had tried to keep her emotions in check, but Andrew's last words pushed her over the edge.

"Andrew, I told you to get out, as far away as possible. Don't disgust me and Charlie any longer!"

Her hand shook uncontrollably as she clutched the memory of Charlie.

The so-called fatherly love was laughable.

Seeing Evelyn trembling, Andrew instinctively reached out to comfort her, but before he could, she fiercely shouted, "Get out!"

Andrew's handsome brow furrowed in concern as he looked at Evelyn.

His outstretched hand slowly retracted.

Instead of forcing her into a hug, he chose to turn and leave.

Downstairs, Andrew leaned against his car, dialing Adam's number.

...

As soon as Andrew left, Evelyn slid down the wall slowly, her emotions overwhelming her.

Adam gently patted her shoulder, soothing her, "Let's get you inside."

With Adam's support, Evelyn stood up, unlocked the door, and they went in.

Adam guided her to the couch, and as he went to pour her some water, his phone buzzed in his pocket.

It was a message from Andrew.

"Is Eve okay?"

Adam didn’t want to deal with Andrew.

Even if he didn't know all the details, it was clear Andrew was behind Evelyn's distress.

But fearing Andrew's domineering nature might lead him to provoke Evelyn further, Adam replied curtly: "She's fine."

A quick response came from the other side.

Andrew: "If you need anything, call me anytime."

Adam glanced at the message, dismissing it as he brought the hot water to the couch. "Evelyn, have some warm water."

Evelyn took the cup with both hands, the water gently swaying inside.
