Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 891:

Outside the window, fireworks danced in a breathtaking display.

She had seen fireworks many times before, but never from such a high vantage point with such a wide, open view.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were so clear, they seemed almost invisible, yet they kept the smoke from the fireworks completely at bay.

Rachel had to admit, the experience of watching the fireworks from here was unlike any other.

The fireworks show went on for a full hour, and during that time, the two of them simply enjoyed the spectacle.

They talked, enjoyed their meal, and sipped on red wine.

Lizzie, feeling the effects of the drink, was in high spirits and laughed softly. She gazed out at the fireworks with a look of wonder on her face, her cheeks flushed from a light tipsiness.noveldrama

Lizzie rested her elbow on the table, her gaze fixed on the fireworks outside.

Her face lit up with curiosity. “You know, these fireworks are a bit unusual.”

Rachel asked, raising an eyebrow, “What’s so unusual about them?”

“The timing of this fireworks show changes every year. It’s never fixed, which makes it harder to predict. Normally, events like this are on set dates, don’t you think? And this restaurant, it didn’t even exist before. It’s a new building, and I must admit, it’s the perfect place to watch fireworks.”

Rachel thought for a moment, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it either. They decided to just toast to each other, clinking their glasses, and continued drinking without worrying about it any further.

Lizzie drank a little more, becoming more tipsy by the second. “Rachel, you know, I really hope you and Mr. White end up together.”

Rachel looked up in shock, her face showing clear surprise.

Over the years, Rachel and Brian never hid their relationship on purpose, yet no one ever really talked about it. Logically, Lizzie shouldn’t have known about it.

Lizzie laughed softly. “Actually, I’ve known for a while now. But no one ever told me. Over the past two years, you’ve been Mr. White’s secretary, but if you pay attention, you’ll notice he’s always looking out for you. He cares for you deeply. And if you look into his eyes, you’ll see the tenderness and love he has for you. I heard that true love shows in the eyes, even when you try to hide it. I used to think that was just some sentimental saying, but after seeing the way Mr. White looks at you, I’ve come to realize it’s absolutely true.”

Holding Rachel’s hand, Lizzie continued, “Rachel, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Thank you for being there for Allan, too. You’ve repaid his kindness more than he could ever ask for. So, please don’t feel like you’re stuck because of him or because of me. I really see you as my sister, and all I want is for you to be happy. I hope you find someone who truly cherishes you, loves you, and protects you. Allan shared the same sentiment. If he knew you were happy for the rest of your life, he’d feel at peace.”

Lizzie spoke from her heart, and Rachel listened carefully.

The emotions that had built up over so many years, along with everything that had happened in between, couldn’t possibly be explained in just a few sentences.
