Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 965:

Spotting the outline beneath the covers, he spoke gently. “Yvonne? Yvonne?” No reply.

He leaned closer and saw—she was already fast asleep.

While she slept, every trace of resistance faded, leaving behind a softness that made her seem almost delicate. Norton couldn’t deny it, she looked especially peaceful like this.

If only she could be like this when she was awake… He lost in thought, shaking his head. But if she lost that fire, she wouldn’t be Yvonne anymore. And without that spark, she’d no longer be the woman who constantly got under his skin.

Norton pulled the blanket up to her shoulders and quietly left the room, returning to his own.

The following morning, Yvonne woke feeling rested and clear-headed. After getting ready, she made her way downstairs—and paused when she saw Norton still inside.

“I’m heading out,” he said, rising to his feet as soon as she appeared.noveldrama

She lifted a brow. “Do you need my permission now?”

Norton scoffed. “You can find your own way to the office today.”

With that, he turned and walked off.

“Oh, come on—it’s on your way!”

Yvonne grabbed a sandwich and dashed after him.

It would be ridiculous not to take advantage of his car. It was far more comfortable than any cab.

The ride passed quickly, and as she stepped out in front of the building, she glanced up with a quiet sense of pride.

Another day ahead. She was ready for it.

She walked into the office with renewed energy.

As the workday approached, her colleagues settled in around her.

“Yvonne, there’s an assignment today I think suits you perfectly.” Heidi approached, her expression warm and inviting.

“What’s the assignment?” Yvonne asked, eyes lighting up with excitement.

She hadn’t expected interns to receive much responsibility, so getting a task of her own was a pleasant surprise.

Watching Yvonne’s grin widen, Heidi held back a smirk. She would like to see if Yvonne could smile later.

“Here’s the deal, Yvonne. Our section has been aiming to land a professional interview with Anthea Wallace. You’ve heard of her, right?”

Yvonne nodded. Anthea Wallace was a household name—an award-winning wildlife photographer recognized both nationally and internationally. Even people with no interest in photography knew who she was.
