Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 724:

Wasting no time, he threw a punch straight at Trey’s face.

Trey couldn’t dodge in time and was sent crashing to the ground.

“Daddy!” Estella wailed, squirming in Layla’s arms. “Mommy, I want Daddy! Let me go!”

Trey didn’t stay down for long. He grabbed Brian’s legs and yanked him down, flipping him over.

Both of them ended up looking even more of a mess.noveldrama

Estella rushed over, tears streaming down her face, and threw herself into Trey’s arms.

Seeing her like that, Brian stopped. The fight came to a temporary halt. Estella’s little face crumpled when she saw Trey’s injuries, especially the blood. Her heart ached for him.

She whimpered and hugged her father tightly, her little arms squeezing him.

Trey pulled her close and spoke softly. “I’m strong. Don’t worry about me, okay?”

“But you’re bleeding… a lot,” the little girl said worriedly. Her tiny hands gently touched his face as she added, “I’ll blow on it for you, and you won’t cry, okay?”

She was copying the way her father comforted her whenever she got hurt.

Trey’s eyes stung with emotion.

“Alright, I feel much better now,” he said, his gaze full of warmth.

Seeing that, Brian felt a little jealous.

Having a daughter really was something special. So sweet, so precious! He let out a silent sigh. If he had a daughter, he’d probably never stop spoiling her…

“Mr. Charming, I like you because you saved me, but you hit my daddy,” Estella said, her tiny voice turning serious. “I can’t be friends with you. My favorite people in the whole world are Daddy and Mommy.”

Watching her stand up for her dad like that—how could anyone not be moved?

“Estella, sweetie, your daddy and I were just messing around. No need to worry.”

Estella frowned, clearly unsure. She turned to Layla. “Mommy, is that true?”

Layla stroked her hair and smiled. “Of course, honey. Your daddy and this gentleman are good friends. They’ll be fine soon.”

Then, she turned to Trey. “Sweetheart, your nose is bleeding a lot. We need to get you to a hospital.”

Seeing how things had turned out, Brian realized he might have acted too rashly.

With Estella right there, they should’ve stopped much sooner. He sighed and said, “I’ll drive you.”

Trey never intended to tell Rachel about the fight.
