Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 420:

Rachel swallowed the bitterness rising in her chest. “It’s better to pull the Band-Aid off fast. I’ve been through it—I know how it feels. If there’s no love, it’s best not to get involved from the start.”

Brian let out a chilling laugh. “Nicely said. But tell me, why did you get involved with me in the first place?”

Rachel inhaled deeply, searching for the right words. “I admit it. Back then, I pursued you because I genuinely liked you. If you’re still holding a grudge over that, I’ll apologize. I shouldn’t have intruded into your life or thrown off your pace. But don’t we all make mistakes when we’re young?”

Brian’s stare hardened, his eyes turning as cold as ice.

The room felt like it got colder too.

Mistakes, huh? So now, everything about them—about him—was just a “youthful mistake” in her eyes.
