The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 53

Evelyn had just hailed a cab when she received a call from Charles' aunt, Carmen.

"There's a family dinner at the Jenkins' tonight. Come over and help."

Then, she hung up.

It was a command. To Carmen, Evelyn was nothing more than a servant of the Jenkins family.

Rosa had declared Evelyn a daughter of the Jenkis family after her stepmother passed away, but without Rosa's presence, no one in the Jenkins family acknowledged it.

After Rosa had gone abroad for treatment, Evelyn had lived with Charles for five years, and they shared a daughter, but Charles refused to acknowledge their relationship. The rest of the Jenkins family didn’t acknowledge the relationship and their daughter, Charlie. Evelyn was just a servant to be called and dismissed at will.

She had just heard Dahlia's voice on the phone. A cold smile played on Evelyn's lips.

Moments later, she got into a cab and told the driver, "To the Jenkins estate."

An hour later, the cab stopped outside the private drive of the Jenkins estate.

To avoid outside disturbances, the Jenkins had bought all the surrounding land, preventing taxis from entering.

Evelyn got out and walked for half an hour before reaching the Jenkins estate.

Upon entering, she saw Dahlia and her daughter being lavished with attention from Carmen and her daughter Sena, who were sitting on either side of them. Charles was sitting across from them, his gaze tenderly on Dahlia and her daughter.

As soon as Evelyn appeared, Dahlia and her companions saw her. With a gentle smile, Dahlia spoke, "You are really too good to Sandy. This could spoil her." After Dahlia finished, she cast a meaningful glance at Evelyn.

"Sandy is Charles' daughter; there's no such thing as spoiling her too much," Carmen spoke indulgently.

"Exactly, Sandy is my darling niece. If not her, then who should we spoil?" Sena hugged Sandy, affectionately kissing her on the cheek.
