The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 272

Before Charles could finish his sentence, Evelyn's anger flared up, and she couldn't hold back. She raised her hand, and—

"Smack!\"

A stinging slap landed on his cheek.

Shaking with fury, her eyes blazing, she glared at Charles and burst out, \"Charles, do you even hear yourself? What does Charlie really mean to you?\"

The more Evelyn thought about it, the more her anger surged. She raised her hand again, ready to strike Charles's face!

How could he say something so heartless!

To him, Charlie's death seemed like just an excuse to have another child!

What did Charlie mean to him?

"Eve, that's not what I meant!\"

Charles got where Evelyn was coming from. He didn't stop her from hitting him, letting her release her anger while he tried to explain, \"I didn't want another child to replace Charlie.\"

\"I just thought, maybe if we had another child, Charlie could come back to us, reborn as our daughter again!\"

Charles had never believed in spirits or the supernatural!

But for the first time, because of Charlie, he found himself hoping they were real!

Just as he had wished at Charlie's grave, he longed for her to come back as his daughter in another life, so he could make things right.

If spirits and reincarnation were real, then maybe...

If he and Evelyn had another child.

Charlie loved them so much, maybe she could be reborn and come back to Evelyn as their child again.
