The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 606

Chapter 606

The moment Evelyn fell into his arms, the hollow ache in Charles's heart finally disappeared.

Holding Evelyn felt like he was cradling the whole world.

He couldn't help it-his eyes turned misty.

Everything he'd once brushed off now felt like a gift from the heavens, something

he'd wanted so badly but never thought he'd have.

He didn't want to sleep.

He just lowered his gaze and watched her quietly,

tracing the lines of Evelyn's face with his eyes, over and over again.

He could never get enough.

His heart fluttered, soft ripples spreading inside him.

Unable to help himself, he dipped his head.

A gentle kiss landed right between Evelyn's brows.

He held back, barely letting his lips touch her skin.

The second he kissed her, he pulled away, worried he'd wake her up.

He was afraid this perfect happiness might vanish like a dream, crumbling in a heartbeat.

That night, Evelyn was completely worn out from driving to find Brooks and back.

She slept soundly in Charles's arms.

But Charles didn't sleep at all.
