The Day Our Promise Breaks

During this period, Evelyn had been giving him the cold shoulder, causing tension between them.

Suddenly, her warmth returned, and she responded enthusiastically, making him powerless to stop. He deepened their kiss even further.

The temperature in the kitchen seemed to rise with their passion.

Dahlia had been searching for Charles and noticed that Carmen had sent the kitchen staff away for some made-up reason. She realized Evelyn was left in the kitchen alone.

Her gaze turned sinister as she approached the kitchen in her high heels.

Sena noticed and quickly said, "Dahlia, there's no way he's in the kitchen."

Dahlia ignored her and continued towards the kitchen.

Charles heard the conversation outside. He regained some clarity but didn't let go of Evelyn. He kissed her even more fiercely. It was as if he had discovered a new flavor he couldn't resist. The sound of footsteps approached the kitchen. Only then did Charles release Evelyn's lips and take a step back.

Evelyn's legs nearly gave out under her, and she had to steady herself against the kitchen counter, looking at Charles a step away from her.

Unlike her disheveled state, Charles looked impeccable and strikingly handsome, as if the man passionately kissing her was someone else entirely.
