Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 100

Chapter 100:

At dinner, thanks to Jeffrey’s arrangements, Brian and Rachel ended up seated beside each other, their shoulders brushing every so often. Jeffrey, meanwhile, sat across from them, watching the two with undisguised satisfaction, his heart swelling at the sight.

Soon, a plate of shrimp was placed on the table. Rachel reached for one, carefully peeled it, dipped it in sauce, and set it on Jeffrey’s plate. “Here. It’s your favorite.”

Jeffrey took a bite, his face lighting up instantly. “This is so good.”

Rachel, pleased by his reaction, quickly peeled a few more and placed them in front of him.

Brian, who had been sitting quietly, finally shifted and cleared his throat.

Jeffrey glanced over. “Brian, you okay? Is your throat bothering you?”

Brian hesitated for a moment before awkwardly looking at the plate of shrimp. “I want some too.”
