The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 593

Charles’s voice was soft as velvet, but every word was firm as steel.

Evelyn shot him a glare, her frustration bubbling over into a sharp, bitter laugh. “Charles, the baby’s in my body. I’d like to see you try and stop me if I decide not to keep it!”

“Eve, please—tell me what I have to do for you to keep our baby.”

Seeing her anger, Charles’s tone gentled, almost pleading. He knelt beside her hospital bed, desperation in his eyes.

He wanted this baby—his and Evelyn’s. He knew it was the last thing connecting them. As long as she was carrying his child, he still had a chance. He wanted that chance more than anything. She was the girl he’d set his heart on since he was ten. If it were up to him, he’d never let her go.

“Eve, this is a life. Could you really be that heartless and let her go?”

Charles’s eyes were shining, on the verge of tears.

Before Evelyn could answer, the hospital room door swung open.

Brooks strode in.

“Eve—”

Just two hours earlier, he’d been in a meeting when Aaron’s call came through.

“Brooks, what happened?”

Brooks was completely thrown. “What?”

“Aunt Josephine just called the hotel—she’s canceling the engagement dinner.”

Aaron had taken charge of the engagement party to make amends. The second the hotel manager got the call, he rang Aaron, who then called Brooks.

After what happened a month ago, Aaron had nearly lost Brooks as a friend. He’d been determined to give Brooks and Evelyn a grand, flawless celebration. Now, before any of that could happen, it was suddenly canceled.

“Cancel the engagement dinner?”

Brooks knew instantly something was wrong. His face went pale. He paused the meeting, asked his assistant to take over, and walked out.

He called Evelyn—no answer.

His worry only deepened.

He didn’t even call his mom. He just drove straight to the Robinson Estate.

The moment he walked in, he could feel the tension.
