The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 627

Charles's fingers tightened ever so slightly around his daughter's tiny hand. He kept his face calm, but inside, a storm was raging.

He never expected Luna to take the lead and offer such a suggestion.

Just moments ago, seeing how much Charlie resisted coming back to him, he couldn't help but wonder if it had been Eve, would Charlie have been this distant? After all, Charlie adored Eve.

"Ms. Cipoletti, thank you."

This time, his gratitude was heartfelt.

Right now, Luna genuinely seemed to have Charlie's best interests at heart.

"Mr. Jenkins, there's no need to be so formal. Everything I do is for Charlie," Luna replied with a soft smile. "I may not be Charlie's birth mother, but I truly care about her. If you hadn't come for her, I would have loved her as if she were my own."

"In the Cipoletti family, I never had a say. I couldn't even protect my own daughter —she didn't make it out of that place. I didn't have the power to take Charlie away either. All I could do was watch her suffer."

"So whenever I had the chance to visit the Cipoletti family, I'd sneak in to see her, bring her some painkillers, bandage her wounds."

Luna's words made it clear why Charlie relied on her so much.

"Mr. Jenkins, I'll do my best to convince Charlie to accept you, to return to your family. But I have one request-if she does go back, may I still visit her sometimes?"

"Of course," Charles answered without hesitation.
