Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 421:

Rachel jerked her head to the side, avoiding his touch as if escaping. “In that case, who I treat well and who I choose to be with is none of your concern. Rachel, let me remind you—we’re over. So what makes you think you still have a say in my love life?”

As much as Rachel hated to admit it, his words, though cutting, were undeniably true.

Their conversation ended with Rachel practically retreating in defeat.

“Sorry for disturbing your rest.”

With that, she turned on her heel and left without looking back.

The next morning, Natalia wasted no time diving into preparations for the evening’s party.

She spent the entire morning pulling Rachel from boutique to boutique in search of the perfect evening gown.

With her petite frame, Natalia shone best in delicate and adorable dresses.

“Rachel, you need to get one too.”

“No need, I’m fine.”

Natalia pouted. “That won’t do. I can’t let Tracy look down on you.

You’re with me—you have to overshadow her!”

Rachel chuckled. “I’m just here to compliment you.”

“Oh, please. I’m not the type to worry about someone outshining me.

Just pick one—I want us both to look stunning.”

“Fine, fine!”

Rachel skimmed through the racks and picked the simplest dress available. It was a plain black one with a V-neck and puff sleeves. It wasn’t flashy, just an understated piece with delicate jacquard patterns.

“I’ll take this one. Let me try it on.”

Though the dress was simple, Rachel made it look effortlessly elegant. The black fabric wasn’t anything special, but the satin added a touch of elegance and class.

“It’s perfect. Let’s—”

Before Natalia could finish her words, Tracy strolled into the store.

Natalia’s expression turned icy. What were the odds?

And just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, Brian wrapped up a phone call and stepped inside.

“Brian!”

Natalia practically ran over, latching onto his arm.noveldrama

Giddy with excitement, she spun around in her tulle dress. “Do you like it? I picked it for the party tonight.”

“Yeah, it looks good on you.”

“As long as you think so.”

Natalia blushed slightly before turning to Rachel. “And this one? What do you think?”

Before Brian could respond, Tracy cut in. “Brian, this is the dress I mentioned. I want to try it on.”

“Go ahead.”

Tracy turned to the store clerk. “Excuse me, can you bring me this black dress? I want to try it on.”

The clerk hesitated. “I’m sorry, miss, but this is our last one.”

Tracy pressed her lips together, feigning disappointment. “Oh, I see. I guess this dress just wasn’t meant for me.”

Then, she turned to Brian with a sigh. “Let’s go check out some other boutiques, then.”
