Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 232

Chapter 232:

Tracy, overwhelmed by his reaction, began to cry and stammered out apologies. “I’m so sorry. I assumed you were aware. I didn’t mean any harm. Rachel mentioned that you two would be married as soon as you returned. Is that still the plan?”

“Yes.”

Brian’s firm reply hit Tracy like a blow. With trembling lips, she continued, “I’ll clear everything up with her when we return. Please, don’t hold this against me, okay?”

In times gone by, Tracy’s gentle appeals might have eased Brian’s heart. However, today was different; he was too agitated to be soothed.

Previously, the mere presence of Tracy would have ignited Rachel’s temper, possibly leading to a confrontation.

However, this time, she maintained her composure throughout. She purchased a ticket and headed to the airport with a serene demeanor, refraining from any accusations or complaints. Even at the boarding gate, she refrained from making any spiteful remarks.
