Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 716:

Layla hurried after Estella, calling out, “Estella, where are you going? Wait for Mommy!”

But Estella didn’t stop. She kept running, prompting Layla to rush after her. Brian kept walking, unaware of the commotion behind him—until a small figure stepped in front of him, blocking his path. With her hands on her hips, Estella glared up at him with a determined pout.

“Sir, why are you walking so fast? I can barely keep up.”

“Estella?” Brian’s heart softened, and he quickly knelt down to lift her into his arms.

Layla finally caught up, now understanding why Estella had rushed off.

“Sir, thanks for helping me find Mommy yesterday. But you disappeared without saying goodbye. When I woke up, you were gone.” The little girl’s voice was tinged with a hint of disappointment.

Brian wasn’t great at comforting kids, so he glanced at the bonfire and said, “Estella, you love dancing, right? How about I dance with you?”
