Chapter 612

Evelyn refused to let herself linger in old memories or long for one last moment of closeness.

As soon as Charles stepped off the last stair, she made her move.

Without a second's hesitation, she slid down from his back.

Her feet touched the ground. She spoke, her voice cool and detached, "Thanks."

Then she turned and walked toward her car.

Charles was still tangled in memories, reluctant to let go. Without thinking, he reached out and caught her wrist, making one final, desperate attempt.

"Eve, can't you give me one more chance?"

His voice was soft, almost pleading, so humble it was almost painful.

He knew what her answer would be, but still, he had to ask.

Evelyn didn't pull away or struggle. She just turned her head to look at him, her eyes icy and unreadable.

She didn't have to say a word—her expression said it all.

They stared at each other for a long moment.

Finally, Charles's grip loosened.

The moment his hold faded, Evelyn pulled her hand back, no hesitation at all.

"Eve..."

He wanted to drive her home.

But Evelyn simply opened her car door, got in, and didn't look back. She pulled away without another glance.

Charles couldn't help himself.
