Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 38

Chapter 38:

Rachel silently continued eating, not pressing Brian further.

Her appetite waned after just a few more bites.

The gap between them was clear and always there.

He was born into wealth, raised in luxury, and always had the very best of everything.

As a result, he was naturally elegant and refined, carrying an air of aristocracy in every move.

Rachel, however, was the neglected, uncherished daughter of her family. Had she not loved him so deeply, she might have spared herself the ordeal of maintaining such an elaborate charade.

Her affection for him led her to suppress her own tastes.

Disliking what he disliked and forcing herself to appreciate what he favored became her routine.

Gradually, she began to lose touch with her own preferences.

“Didn’t I see you enjoying your meal earlier?” Brian asked, scrutinizing her closely.

“It’s more about the shared experience than the food itself,” Rachel responded.

Brian’s attention shifted to the barely touched soup.

After several moments of indecision, he tentatively picked up the spoon and tasted it again.

Looking at her, he said, “Please, have whatever you like. I can share everything with you.”

Rachel’s reaction was one of sheer astonishment.

She looked at him, utterly speechless.
