Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 590:

“Good morning!” she greeted him.

“Morning!” Brian returned with a smile.

Rachel began gathering her things. Noticing, Brian said, “Have some breakfast first. I’ve already told Eric; he’ll be here soon to drive you.”

Rachel hesitated. “That won’t be necessary. I don’t want to inconvenience him.”

“It’s no trouble at all,” Brian said lightly. “We’re getting married soon, and as my future wife, you can take advantage of this.”

Rachel nodded gratefully.

Though simple, the breakfast was plentiful. Thinking of finally bringing Jeffrey home, Rachel’s excitement showed—she ate more than usual.

Seeing her appetite, Brian nodded approvingly. “You should eat properly. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight lately.”

Rachel smiled in response.

Just as she finished, there was a knock at the door. Rachel stood, her face lighting up. “That must be Eric Riley!”

Brian felt a pang of jealousy. “Are you really that eager for him to arrive?”

“Of course,” Rachel said, her excitement clear. “It means I can finally bring Jeffrey back home.”

“Come on in.”

As the door swung open, Yvonne ran forward and wrapped her arms around Rachel before she could speak.

“I’m coming with you to get Jeffrey,” Yvonne declared.

“Sure,” Rachel replied.

After a few whispered words, Brian pulled Eric aside and gave him instructions.

Five minutes later, they were all seated in Eric’s car.

Yvonne, eyes sparkling with curiosity, glanced at Eric. “So, what did Mr. White whisper to you just now?”

Eric, steady at the wheel, navigated a sharp turn before answering. “Are you asking for yourself or on behalf of Ms. Marsh?”

Yvonne raised an eyebrow. “Does it make a difference?”

“If it’s you, I’m afraid I can’t tell you.”

“And if it’s Rachel?”

Eric spoke slowly and deliberately. “Mr. White reminded me that Ms. Marsh will soon be his wife, and I should always keep that in mind. He told me not to neglect her.”

“Brian’s wife?” Yvonne shot Rachel a puzzled look.

Rachel sighed. “I was planning to tell you after I brought Jeffrey home and settled him in. Carol’s condition is critical, and I’ve agreed to marry Brian.”

Yvonne didn’t hesitate. “Is this a real marriage or just for show?”

“For me… does it really matter?” Rachel’s tone was calm, but her words carried weight.noveldrama
