Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 602:

Debby’s face twisted in fury. “I knew it! You’re only after my son’s money. You want the White family’s wealth. You’re nothing but a gold digger, and I won’t let you get away with it!”

She spun toward Brian, ready to tell him everything—until she saw a tall figure nearby. The shock nearly made her stagger, and Aron rushed forward to steady her. “Be careful, honey,” he said, concern in his voice.

Debby took a deep breath and hurried to Brian’s side. “You nearly scared me to death just now! But you heard everything, didn’t you? She’s finally exposed herself—she’s only after your money. You absolutely cannot marry her. If you do…”

Her desperate pleas hung in the air, but Brian remained calm.

“Mom, I’m going to marry Rachel,” he said firmly.

“What did you just say?” Debby stammered, disbelief in her eyes.

Brian met her gaze. “And just so we’re clear, it will be a real marriage. The certificate will be real. The wedding will be real.”

Tracy, unable to stay silent, blurted out, “Brian, didn’t you hear what she said? She doesn’t love you! She just wants your money!”

Brian’s voice was entirely unaffected. “I heard her.”

“If you heard that, then why are you still—” Tracy’s voice rose as she hurried toward Brian, panic written all over her face.

Brian didn’t even spare her a glance. He brushed past her and grabbed Rachel’s hand. “Come on, let’s go.”

“Go where?” Rachel asked, surprised.noveldrama

“Anywhere but here,” he declared.

Without another word, he tightened his grip on her hand and took off. Rachel’s dress billowed with every step, her hair flowing behind her, making her look like a scene straight out of a dream.

Of course, Tracy and Debby weren’t about to just stand by. They immediately rushed after them.

But Aron, thinking more rationally, reached out and stopped Debby. “Let them go. Brian has already made up his mind. Chasing him won’t change anything.”

“So what, we’re just supposed to sit back and watch him marry Rachel?” Debby snapped.

Aron let out a sigh, his gaze heavy with concern. “My dear, how do you still not see it? Brian never truly loved Tracy. How much longer are you going to force something that was never there?”

“That’s impossible!” Debby shot back instantly. “Tracy was his first love. If he doesn’t love her, then who does he love?”

But the moment she said it, she froze. Her own words echoed in her mind, leaving her stunned.

“Honey, don’t scare me like that. Are you saying Brian actually loves Rachel? How could that be? Men always obsess over what they can’t have. The one he should be unable to let go of is Tracy. He’s been with Rachel for so long—he must be bored of her by now. If he truly loved her, he would’ve married her years ago. Why did he drag it out all this time?”

The idea was too much for Debby to accept. It simply didn’t make sense.
