Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1037:

Yvonne looked at Saul skeptically. Noticing her expression, he rushed to clarify, “Don’t give me that look! I thought it would be simpler this way.”

Ethan lowered his window and assured Yvonne, “No need to fret. You can count on me, right? Get in, Wonne.”

Upon hearing this, Yvonne turned to Margie and reminded her, “Let me know when you get back!” Only then did she climb into Ethan’s car. By the time Yvonne settled in, Saul’s car had already zoomed away and was out of sight.

Margie glanced around nervously, and Ethan observed her tension. He attempted to ease her worries. “He’s an old buddy of mine. Don’t stress.”

“Alright,” Yvonne answered, still looking a bit gloomy. With Ethan’s words in mind, she lowered her gaze and began to drift off into her thoughts.

“You’ve had a rough day. Make sure to get some rest when you get home,” Ethan suggested, turning on some calming instrumental music.

“Mr. Marsh, I really don’t want to go home just yet. Could you take me to the office instead?” Yvonne paused for a moment before finally voicing her request.

Her thoughts were all over the place. Going home and encountering anything connected to Norton would only worsen her mood.

That irritating Norton—why did he have to kiss her last night? And Shelly wasn’t any better—one was more frustrating than the other!

Yvonne let out a deep sigh.

Ethan looked at her through the rearview mirror, noticing her worried expression. He tried to lift her spirits. “Stop mulling over things that bother you. How about we grab a bite to eat?”

“Okay,” Yvonne replied. As long as it meant avoiding home for a while, she was on board.

After dinner, Yvonne still seemed out of sorts.

Ethan paused for a second and then said, “By the way, Yvonne, are you into rock climbing? There’s a new climbing club that just opened up. I thought it might be right up your alley.”noveldrama

Yvonne’s eyes brightened, and a smile crept onto her face. “Definitely!”

Seeing her grin, Ethan was finally at ease. “You see? You look a lot better when you smile. You ought to do it more.” He took Yvonne directly to the climbing club.

Once they arrived, they both headed to the locker rooms to change into their workout clothes.

By the time Yvonne emerged, Ethan had already been waiting for her outside. When he spotted her, he handed her a bottle of water.

She accepted it and smiled at him.

For a brief moment, he was entranced by her smile. The club only offered a limited range of basic sportswear for members, but Yvonne looked stunning even in a simple black and gray ensemble. Her energy and physique were hard to miss, and when she smiled, she looked even more lively and striking.
