The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 193

Brooks immediately picked up on the vibe and smoothly jumped in for Evelyn. "Hey, we've got some stuff to handle, so we're gonna head out."

With that, he gently guided Evelyn out of the shop.

It wasn't until they left that the shop owner sensed something was up. But she shrugged it off, not wanting to get involved. She had plenty of other things to handle, so she turned back to her tasks.

As soon as Evelyn stepped out of the shop, her emotions burst forth, and tears streamed down her face. Clutching her coffee cup, she cried her heart out. The thought of Charles knowing all along that Sandy wasn't his biological child, yet still showering her with love, was overwhelming.

The more Charlie adored Charles, the more Evelyn felt it was unfair to Charlie.

Brooks watched Evelyn silently break down and couldn't hold back any longer. He gently cradled the back of her head and pulled her close to his chest while his other hand softly patted her back. He didn't need to ask questions. His presence was enough to offer silent comfort. Evelyn had held in her emotions for so long, and Brooks' tender gesture unleashed the flood of tears she'd been holding back.
