The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 623

"Yes! Exactly the same!"

Charles held out his phone so Luna could see, the lock screen displaying a photo of Charlie and Eve together.

As Luna dropped her gaze to look, Charles watched her closely, searching her face for any reaction.

Francis had already sent him Luna's background on the way over. She might be a Cipoletti by blood, but since she hadn't grown up at the old estate or gotten mixed up in the family's dirty laundry, she was considered relatively clean. Still, everything had been so rushed—maybe all he had was the surface.

"They really do look alike," Luna said, her tone calm, eyes lowered. The coldness that flashed across her face at the mention of Evelyn was hidden from Charles.

When she looked up again, her expression was composed. "But I can't just hand Aurora over to you because she happens to look like your daughter."

Charles' expression hardened a little.

So she wasn't planning on giving Charlie back to him and Eve?

The moment he'd seen the little girl, Charles was almost certain that Luna's "Aurora" was actually Charlie.

But he had no proof.

He needed to get a sample from the girl-fast-and run a DNA test.

The moment it proved she was Charlie, Luna wouldn't be able to stop him from taking his daughter home.

He'd already checked out the villa when he arrived. The security system was average—nothing Q couldn't handle in his sleep.

Charles was just about to distract Luna and signal Q to sneak upstairs for a sample when Luna spoke again.
