Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 833:

She knew he was only saying that to make her feel better.

“Allan…” Rachel started.

Before she could finish, he gently pressed a finger against her lips.

“There are earrings too. Let me put them on for you.”noveldrama

As they had to be quite close while putting on the earrings, Rachel felt a little shy.

“I can do it myself,” she mumbled.

“I’d rather do it,” Allan insisted.

Hearing that, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

Seconds later, she felt the warmth of his fingers brushing against her earlobe, his touch light and careful.

With practiced ease, he found the earring hole and secured them in place.

Once both earrings were on, Allan stepped back, looking pleased.

“Perfect. Now, let’s go.”

Rachel inhaled deeply before giving a small nod.

“Alright.”

The drive was smooth, and in less than twenty minutes, they arrived at their destination.

Alban personally stepped forward to open the car door, his tone respectful as he announced,

“We’ve arrived.”

“Thank you.” Rachel nodded politely and bent slightly to step out. Just as she straightened, she suddenly felt warmth wrap around her palm. Looking down, she saw that Allan had taken her hand.

She understood why—today was a special occasion, and they were expected to walk in together, hand in hand, presenting the image of a loving couple.

But despite knowing this was all for show, a flicker of unease stirred in her chest. Memories of her first disastrous marriage resurfaced, making her fingers turn ice-cold.

Sensing her hesitation, Allan gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, leaning in to whisper,

“Relax, I’m right here.”

Rachel lifted her gaze to meet Allan’s. His steady yet gentle expression silently told her that, no matter what, he would always stand by her.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded and walked alongside him, matching his pace as they approached the main table.

“They look absolutely stunning together. I’m so envious,” someone murmured.
