The Day Our Promise Breaks
Chapter 62

Rosa didn't explicitly ask Dahlia to leave, but her words felt like a slap across Dahlia's face, leaving her humiliated. Today, the respect that Carmen and her daughter had showed them at the Jenkins family was completely lost. Dahlia turned to Charles, but he remained silent.

She knew that Rosa was the family member Charles cared about the most. Five years ago, he considered Rosa's opinion and never gave her a proper status. Five years later, nothing had changed. She then looked at Carmen. Carmen was cold-faced and didn't look at her.

Dahlia gripped her hands tightly. She slowly stood up, struggling to keep the smile on her face, and said with difficulty, "Rosa, I won't bother you any longer."

"I'll walk you and Sandy back." Charles stood up as well.

"Stop." Rosa's sharp rebuke was followed by a violent cough.

Charles' expression changed instantly. He rushed to Rosa's side, visibly anxious. "Grandma."

"Rosa." Evelyn's face also turned pale. She patted Rosa's back and urgently said to Tony, "Tony, call Dr. Nelson."

Carmen also came over. "Mom."

Rosa realized that she had scared Evelyn and secretly tugged at her hand. Evelyn then realized that Rosa was feigning her condition, and her heart, which had leaped to her throat, instantly calmed down. Dahlia was left out. She knew Charles wouldn't be able to send her off. She went upstairs to bring down Sandy, who was sleeping.

Downstairs, everyone's attention was still on Rosa. No one noticed Dahlia. She bit her teeth, holding the sleeping Sandy, and left the Jenkins family mansion in her ten-centimeter heels.

The more glorious her arrival, the more pathetic her departure.

Once out of the Jenkins family's sight, Dahlia angrily dropped Sandy to the ground.

Her actions were rough. Sandy woke up from the fall, rubbing her eyes groggily and meeting a pair of cold eyes. She couldn't help but shiver and timidly called out, "Mommy..." Dahlia didn't respond. She just coldly glanced at her and walked away.

Sandy didn't understand what she had done wrong. She quickly scrambled up from the ground and followed.

Dahlia walked briskly, not caring for

Sandy, who was five-year-old and

just recovering from an illness.

Sandy didn't dare to complain of discomfort and ran after her mother.

Back at the Jenkins family home, as soon as Dahlia left, Rosa sat up spiritedly, showing no sign of discomfort. "Grandma." Charles frowned.

Rosa huffed gently, stood up with Evelyn's help, and said to Charles, "You, come with me." Rosa led Charles into the family chapel.

Sena, who was kneeling inside, turned around upon hearing the noise, hoping for forgiveness.

"Who allowed you to stand?" Rosa's cold rebuke made Sena kneel again in fright. She was already in pain from kneeling, and her knees hurt even more with the force, causing her to collapse to the ground

"Sena..." Carmen moved forward with sympathy, holding Sena and giving her a look, signaling her to apologize to Rosa. Sena was spoiled from birth. She couldn't bear kneeling for nearly an hour and hurriedly apologized, "Grandma, I'm sorry." "You're not apologizing to the right person!" Rosa's expression was cold.

Sena realized that her grandmother wanted her to apologize to Evelyn, but she did not want to. Before she could speak, Carmen pulled her back. "Do you want to kneel here until tomorrow?" Reluctantly, Sena bowed to Evelyn, kneeling on the ground and mumbling, "I'm sorry."

"It seems you haven't knelt enough." Rosa didn't indulge Sena.

With that, Sena couldn't care less about her pride. She was afraid that her grandmother would actually make her kneel until morning. She couldn't bear that.

She had no choice but to suppress her indignation and apologize to Evelyn. "Evelyn, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have falsely accused you."
