Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 554:

Sitting in the car, Norton noticed Yvonne still standing outside. He raised an eyebrow.

“What? Not heading home?”

“Of course, I am!”

He motioned toward the empty seat, but she immediately waved him off.

“You go on. I’ll grab a cab.”

Since he seemed upset, she figured it was best to keep her distance rather than make things worse.

She had a feeling she’d need his help again sooner or later. So it was better to stay on good terms than to offend him.

“Whatever.” Norton slammed the door shut and turned to the driver.

“Drive.”

The driver hesitated.

“But she—”

Norton’s tone was sharp.

“Didn’t you hear? She said she’s not leaving with us.”

“But…”

“No buts. Just drive.”

After that stern warning, the driver had no choice but to obey, focusing entirely on the road.

About ten minutes later, thunder rumbled in the distance as dark clouds gathered, hinting at a storm on the way.

Norton finally spoke.

“What’s the forecast for today?”

“The weather report mentioned heavy rain coming soon.”

“And you didn’t think to mention that earlier?”

“I… I tried to—” The driver suddenly felt very wronged.

“Turn the car around. Now.” Norton’s voice had lost its usual calmness.

“Right away.”

When they returned, Yvonne was nowhere to be found.

They circled the area a few times, but she was gone.noveldrama

Norton tried calling her, but her phone was off.

“Sir, what now?” the driver asked cautiously.

“Keep searching. If you don’t find her, don’t bother coming back,” Norton snapped.

But even after thirty minutes, there was no sign of her.

Just as Norton was starting to lose his patience, his phone buzzed with a notification—someone had unlocked the front door of the villa. He quickly checked the security feed and, sure enough, it was Yvonne.

“Head back home.”

The driver looked confused.

“Wait… sir, weren’t we searching for her?”
