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.

Unbelievable.

“If that’s how you see it, then you’re not welcome here.”

Brian’s rejection was final as he moved to shut the door.

Startled, Rachel instinctively reached out to stop him, only for the door to slam against her hand.

The pain was so strong that she almost screamed, her face twisting in agony.
