The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 469

Dahlia was putting on quite the performance, tears pouring down her cheeks. She was desperately trying to rekindle Charles's feelings by reminiscing about their past, convinced that at some point, Charles must have cared for her. After all, how could such an incredible man base his entire life decision on just six months with a little five-year-old girl?

Noticing that Charles hadn't interrupted her, Dahlia felt even more assured in her belief. Her sobs grew more intense as she laid her emotions bare before him. "Day in and day out, I wanted so badly to tell you. But when faced with someone as amazing as you, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I kept promising myself that once the real Debbie showed up, I’d return her identity to her..."

"Heh."

Dahlia’s speech was cut short by Josephine’s cold, mocking laugh. From afar, Josephine shot her a frosty glare. This woman really knew no bounds. Dahlia was momentarily at a loss. She was so engrossed in getting Charles to believe her feelings and reignite his emotions that she completely overlooked the presence of this old crone.

Josephine didn't give her a chance to gather her thoughts, her voice icy as she spoke, "Dahlia, do you ever speak the truth?"

"Addicted to your own drama, aren't you? Claiming you remind yourself daily to return the identity when the real Debbie appears..."

"Remember the day I found the locket, and you learned from me that Eve was the real Debbie? What did you do? You shoved me down the stairs, trying to shut me up!"
