The Day Our Promise Breaks

Evelyn clung to Charles, her body bouncing as he walked. The bouncing made her stomach churn. Her beautiful face twisted in discomfort. Just as they reached the bedside, Evelyn felt a wave of nausea.

Charles' expression changed instantly, and his steps halted. "Evelyn, don't you dare..."

Before Charles could finish his threatening words, Evelyn vomited all over him. All he could say was, "Wow." The arousal in him was instantly doused.

Without hesitation, he flung Evelyn onto the bed as if discarding trash.

Evelyn let out a muffled groan of discomfort.

Charles stood by the bed, staring at Evelyn, who had vomited all over him yet remained clean herself. His face darkened.

The wine was fragrant, but the vomit was extremely foul-smelling. The pungent smell aggressively invaded his nostrils. It was nauseating.

At that moment, Charles felt an urge to strangle Evelyn. He couldn't bear it for a second, turned and strode into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Charles emerged from the bathroom with a cold face. He put on the new clothes that were delivered, didn't glance at Evelyn again, and left with a scowl.

The following month was a busy one for Evelyn.

She devoted all her energy to winning the million-dollar prize in the competition and buying Charlie a burial plot in a good location.
