Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 738:

But this gift was from Rachel, and it was incredibly unique, so he was eager to put it on his suit.

“What made you think of giving me this?” Allan asked curiously.

Rachel’s eyes turned into twin rainbows as she smiled. “Well, I’ve never seen you wear one, but I immediately thought of you when I saw that brooch. I thought it would suit you perfectly.”

“Would fit your sophisticated and dignified style. Would you like to try it on? Ah, but if you actually don’t wear brooches, I can, of course, exchange this for a different gift.”

In truth, she had been somewhat unsure when she bought the brooch. It was a bit of a gamble, considering she had never seen him wear anything like it. But after much thought, she decided to take the risk.

Given Allan’s status, he had likely received countless gifts. She wanted to give him something memorable, something that would stand out from the rest.

“What are you talking about? I’m putting this on!” Allan’s words broke Rachel out of her reverie. “I’ve never done it before, though. Can you help me?”

“Of course!” Rachel answered, her fingers already tingling with excitement.

She carefully plucked the brooch from the box, opened the clasp, and leaned closer to find the perfect spot to pin it on. When she finally did, she gently slid the needle into the fabric and fastened the clasp.

Allan had just been to a meeting with some clients, so he was still in his navy blue suit. It matched the brooch perfectly.

Rachel drew back and grabbed her phone to snap a photo. The picture was simple, just the brooch with the backdrop of the navy suit. It didn’t show Allan’s face, but that only served to intrigue the viewer even more.

“Here, take a look!” She held up her phone to Allan with a small smile. He looked at the screen and beamed. “It looks great. I may have to wear this more often.”

“We shouldn’t limit ourselves to a single routine. There’s so much more to experience in life, so many exciting places waiting to be visited. Who knows, we might stumble upon the kind of life we didn’t know we wanted all along.”

Rachel’s words were meant to be a pep talk, but as they slipped out of her lips, they sounded sincere and a little wistful.noveldrama

They soon arrived at a restaurant. Rachel paused at the entrance, feeling a bit sentimental.

It was Brian who had first brought her here.

The place had captivated her from the very first moment she stepped foot in it. It had quaint little bridges over flowing streams, and the dainty scent of flowers always filled the air. It was clear that the designer had thought of every detail with the utmost care and passion. But the thing she loved the most about this place was its slow, easy pace. People came here to unwind and forget about their worries. She loved that.

There was a time when she thought she would never step into this restaurant again. But slowly yet surely, she was learning to come to terms with her past. She liked this place, regardless of the people associated with it, so why should she stay away?
