Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 708:

Norton smirked. “The hotel’s fully booked. No rooms left.” Typical. He always had an excuse.noveldrama

Since she’d already won this round, she let it slide.

Feeling lightheaded from the wine, Yvonne’s eyelids drooped as she staggered toward the bed.

But before she could reach it, Norton scooped her up and carried her over.

The next morning, she woke up to find herself in bed with Norton. Worse still, at some point in the night, they had ended up wrapped in each other’s arms.

Alarmed, she yanked her hands away and scrambled out of bed.

After witnessing what happened between Brian and Rachel, Yvonne saw things more clearly. A woman had to love herself—she couldn’t depend on a man’s love.

Her relationship with Norton wasn’t built on love—it was simply a marriage of convenience.

Before, she believed that as long as there was no conflict, being his wife was enough. After all, she had money and status.

But now, she understood that a marriage without love was like still water, destined to rot.

She kept repeating to herself—stay sharp, stay independent. Most importantly, always be ready to walk away.

The moment the plane touched down, Brian was already there, waiting.

His presence was no accident—he had come with a purpose, and Yvonne knew exactly what it was.

Unlike before, she didn’t try to escape or dodge him. Instead, she faced him with an unreadable expression, composed and completely at ease.

“If you want to find Rachel, answer one question first.”

“Alright,” Brian agreed without hesitation.

“When you find her, what’s the first thing you’ll do?”

Brian’s eyes were steady as he answered. “Love her, protect her, and make up for everything I did wrong. I’ll treat her a hundred times better.”

A small, knowing smile played on Yvonne’s lips. “Brian, you’re still getting it wrong,” she said softly.

“You think love is just about treating her well? About making up for the past? That’s not what love is. When you finally understand how to love her the right way… maybe then, you’ll get to see her again.”

Brian opened his mouth to argue, but Yvonne cut him off.

“Here’s what I’ll say—Rachel isn’t far from you. In fact, she’s closer than you think. But if you keep forcing things, searching desperately, you’ll only drive her further away. And then, you’ll lose her for good. Think about that!”

Yvonne’s words struck Brian like a harsh reality check.

He remained rooted to the spot, his mind blank, unable to form a single word. It was as if the weight of her words had robbed him of his ability to respond.

It wasn’t until Yvonne disappeared into the distance that Ronald finally asked, “Sir, should we stop her?”
