Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 325:

For their evening meal, Rachel chose a restaurant with a yard, which stirred memories of her grandmother’s home—a place of simplicity, warmth, and nostalgia. The yard boasted two inviting deck chairs, perfect for an evening under the stars.

After dinner, they reclined on the chairs, their gazes fixed on the shimmering night sky. For a fleeting moment, it felt as though they had been transported back to their childhood, a time of innocence and ease. Jeffrey’s worries seemed to dissipate in this tranquil setting, replaced by a rare sense of calm.

Have a taste.” Rachel glanced down and immediately recognized the bread; it was from her favorite bakery, a place quite far away and always bustling with long queues. Securing that bread typically meant either rising at dawn or enduring a tedious wait; there were no shortcuts.

As she held the bread, she was struck by its warmth. “It’s still warm,” she murmured, surprised.

Jeffrey rubbed the back of his neck, a touch of bashfulness in his expression. “I heated it in the microwave. Have a taste.”
