The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 394

When Evelyn heard Charles suggest getting back together, she couldn't help but let out a scornful chuckle. "Really?"

With a mocking edge in her voice, she shot back, "Charles, how do you even have the nerve to say something like that?"

"Get back together with you? Did all the men in the world vanish? Why would I want to be with the monster who defended and enabled the person responsible for Charlie's death?"

Every word Evelyn spoke was soaked in bitter hatred.

Some grudges fade with time, but her resentment towards Charles and Dahlia only intensified with each passing day. Until she avenged Charlie, she couldn't let go of this burning hatred.

Charles eased his grip, meeting Evelyn's gaze, which was full of loathing. He thought about how she had teamed up with Wesley to go after Dahlia, pushing Dahlia to the brink of suicide...

Instead of getting angry, Charles softened his voice, trying to reason with her. "Eve, I know you're still holding onto Charlie's death. You believe Dahlia caused it, and you want her to pay the ultimate price."

"But Eve, can we be rational here? Dahlia messed up, but she doesn't deserve to die."

"She's already lost the use of her legs and now injured a hand..."
