Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 611:

True to his word, Brian arrived within minutes, with Ronald behind the wheel. Rachel slid into the backseat, her movements calm but deliberate. As they drove, the city lights flickered past, casting a soft glow inside the car.

Approaching a traffic light, Rachel leaned forward slightly. “Ronald, take a left. Let’s stop by my place first, I need to grab my luggage.”

Brian turned to her, his expression a mix of hope and curiosity. “Are you saying that from now on, we’ll be living together?”

Rachel’s voice was steady as she responded, “Yes, now that we’re married, it’s only right that we live together.”

When they arrived at her apartment, Rachel quickly gathered her belongings. She had always traveled light, and within moments, she was ready.

Without waiting for Ronald’s assistance, Brian took charge, determined to handle everything himself. The broken elevator posed no obstacle; he carried all the luggage down single-handedly, his movements steady and unhurried. Though the task was physically demanding, he seemed almost content, as if the effort was a small but meaningful way to show his dedication.

Given Carol’s limited time, they decided to stay at the family house for a while. Once they arrived, Brian carried Rachel’s suitcase upstairs and began unpacking with meticulous care. He hung each piece of clothing as though it were something precious, his actions deliberate and thoughtful. It was as if every gesture carried a silent promise, a quiet reassurance of his dedication.

When everything was settled, Brian held the marriage certificate in one hand and Rachel’s hand in the other. Together, they made their way to see Carol and Hector, the weight of the moment palpable in the air.

Carol took the certificate, her eyes scanning it repeatedly, her face glowing with unrestrained joy. “This is truly wonderful,” she said, her voice warm and brimming with emotion. “Rachel is finally my rightful granddaughter-in-law. Brian, you must protect your wife, cherish her, and ensure she never faces any hardship.” She paused, her smile widening. “And hopefully, it won’t be long before you both bless us with a healthy baby.”

After spending some time talking with Carol, Brian and Rachel made their way downstairs.

“Come on, let’s grab some dinner. My treat.”

“Okay,” she responded.

Brian took the wheel himself, skillfully navigating the streets until they arrived at a secluded private club.

“It’s a pleasure to have you here,” the staff greeted them with a warm smile.

“Prepare a private dining room for us,” Brian instructed.

As they stepped inside, Rachel’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. The room was both spacious and tastefully minimalist—a dining table sat on one side, while an open kitchen stretched out on the other. Brian pulled out a chair for her, gesturing smoothly. “Take a seat.”

Rachel settled into the chair, assuming Brian would take the seat opposite her. But to her surprise, he snapped his fingers, and moments later, staff members began bringing in fresh ingredients one by one.

With practiced ease, Brian accepted an apron from the staff and tied it around his waist.
