Chapter 633

While Charles stood there frowning, lost in thought, Evelyn wriggled out of his arms, stumbling as she got to her feet.

"Eve..."

Charles quickly followed, getting up as well.

"I won't scare Charlie."

Evelyn's voice was rough, almost a whisper.

She didn't look at Charles-not even a glance. Her eyes were locked on Charlie,

who was getting farther and farther away with every second.

Leaving that one sentence behind, Evelyn hurried after her daughter.

Charles had told her that Charlie's health wasn't great, so Evelyn was scared to get too close and risk upsetting her. She hung back, keeping her distance, trailing behind like a shadow.

Charles followed, his strides long and anxious.

Charles stayed right beside her, just in case.

They kept this careful, aching distance as they left the mall, watching as Charlie climbed into the car waiting for Luna.
