Chapter 673

Charlie's eyes filled with tears in a heartbeat.

She bit her lip, trying her best not to let the hurt show.

But her tears glistened, threatening to fall.

Why was he lying to her again?

He was the one who had promised no matter what happened, from now on, she and Mom would always come first.

Charlie just couldn't accept it. She'd finally tried to trust Charles as her dad, and here he was, putting her second yet again.

It had only been a few days, and already, she was back to being the one left behind.

"Miss Charlie..."

The butler saw her tears and moved to comfort her.

Before he could get close, footsteps sounded behind him.

Charles's voice came, gentle and thick with worry. "Charlie..."

The moment she heard her dad, the tears she'd been holding back finally spilled

over.

Charles hurried to her side, knelt down, and pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back soothingly. "Don't cry, Charlie. Daddy's here. I didn't break my promise." "Daddy said he'd never lie to you again. Shh, sweetheart, don't cry. I'm sorry, it's my fault. Something came up and I got held up. I made you sad, and I'm so sorry." He'd promised, after all—no matter what, Charlie and Eve would always come first. He wouldn't let himself break that promise.
