Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 799:

Rachel turned swiftly, eyes widening in surprise as she spotted Natalia. Her face immediately lit up.

Natalia, just as animated as ever, dashed over and threw her arms around her.

“I’ve missed you so much! It’s been forever!”

Rachel playfully pinched Natalia’s cheek and narrowed her eyes.

“Hmm? You know, lying makes your nose grow longer. Just like Pinocchio.”

Natalia immediately understood what Rachel was implying. She had been back in the country for over a month but had only come to see her today.

“Oh, Rachel, let me explain,” she pleaded, grabbing Rachel’s hand. “There’s a café downstairs—let’s get some coffee and catch up.”

Rachel glanced at the time.

“Let’s go to the supermarket instead. I need to pick up some groceries.”

Natalia’s eyes lit up.

“Wait—are you cooking? Wow, I’m in for a treat!”

Rachel shook her head with a smirk.

“You little foodie. Your family has a feast on the table every day, yet you’re craving my cooking?”

Natalia pouted dramatically.

“You have no idea how miserable I’ve been this past month. As soon as I got back, my dad…”

“Grounded me for a whole month! He wouldn’t even let me step outside. Otherwise, I would’ve come to see you way sooner.”

Rachel gave her a skeptical look.

“Your dad dotes on you. He wouldn’t ground you for no reason. What did you do?”

Given Wilson’s deep affection for his daughter, Rachel was sure Natalia had done something major to provoke him.

“Rachel, sometimes I wish you weren’t so sharp. Talking to you makes me feel like an open book!”

She stuck out her tongue before glancing away shyly.

“Fine… I had a boyfriend while I was abroad, but my dad was totally against it.”

Her frustration grew as she continued.

“He tricked me into coming home by pretending to be sick! Then he demanded I break up with my boyfriend. I refused, we fought, and I tried to leave that same night—but he caught on and grounded me.”

She let out an exasperated sigh.
