Heather pondered on her qualities. While she liked to consider herself as well-accomplished and an example of the perfect woman, she shuddered at the thought of being romantically pursued by someone whom she knew actively hated her. She briefly wondered if Matthias had suffered head damage from the accident, because it was the only logical explanation behind his feelings for her.“I like the challenge of turning the impossible into reality,” Matthias said defiantly even after his pleading was to no avail. He knew that Heather wanted more than just a lover—she wanted someone who could thrive in the same league as her own.“Stop grinning like that. It’s freaking me out.” She eyed him warily, recoiling at the wicked smile that played on his lips.If that grin on his face was anything to go by, he looked like he was more than eager to take up the challenge of romantically pursuing her. She bristled and began to question what it was about her that spurred him on. Then, as her mind raced to

The years flew by and Heather grew up to be a rose with thorns, prouder and more headstrong than she had been as a child, and with a will that was forged in steel.“Please just tell me the story, Grandpa. I’m really, really curious about it,” she pleaded, her eyes bright with the same eager spirit she had as a child whenever she came upon something new.“I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow, so just be patient until then,” he cajoled affectionately, patting her hand to soothe her. “Now, shall we head downstairs for dinner? It’s getting late and they won’t start dinner without me.”Upon hearing this, Heather let out a sigh of resignation. It looked like he had made up his mind to leave this conversation for the next day, so she was left with no choice but to wait. Now that she thought about it, it wasn’t as if she was desperate to learn the truth before the day ended. I’ll just have to be patient, even if it means learning the truth much later than planned, she convinced herself.With t

After being in a stalemate for a while, Myra glanced at Tony guiltily as she thought of her promise to him the other day. After searching through her memories, she could see why Tony would come up with such a question.She averted her gaze and dared not meet his eyes as she figured out ways to get away with it. Geez, how could I say that with him being next to me? I was being too courageous.“Don’t you smile like that. Answer my question,” Tony spoke firmly, not taking the bait. To him, this was not an issue that could be passed off with just a smile.“Something’s happened again in Bradfort City, so it isn’t a bad idea to return earlier,” Myra announced determinedly. Well, since everything had been said, she might as well just lay everything on the line.Eyes narrowed into slits, Tony replied with a rather unsatisfied tone, “This is not what you promised a few days ago.” Although Myra was originally indecisive, this response of his had strengthened her decision on going back to Bradfo

By the time Myra opened her eyes, it was already past 9 in the morning. The moment she tilted her head aside, she could see Tony lying on the bed in his clothes, but because his upper body was leaning against the headboard, she could only look up at him while he looked at her from above.“You look so scary staring at me like that.” These were the first words she uttered as soon as she woke up. Immediately, Tony smiled as he knew that his face looked very stern when it was emotionless.“Since you are awake, it’s time to get up. I’m taking you out for breakfast.” In fact, he had been staring at her like a fool for a while now.“Did I miss the plane?” She spoke as she rubbed her eyes, sounding a little distressed.“The plane will depart in two hours. We still have time,” he replied to her directly. Before we went to sleep yesterday, I did ask her to get up early to catch the plane, but she probably didn’t know that the departure time isn’t actually that early.“I thought the plane would

The three of them entered the private room one after another. Then, Myra and Heather eagerly started chatting with each other about the interesting events that happened during Myra’s trip. As it seemed that the two ladies were not going to place their orders any time soon, the task of ordering food fell into Tony’s hands.Myra and Heather sat together, while Tony sat opposite them. The two ladies were so close to each other that it even made Tony a little green with envy.“Heather, I reckon that the gifts will be delivered to you by tomorrow. Remember to check if you receive it.” When Myra was in the United States, she had packed the gifts that she bought for Heather along the way and delivered them to the Langston Residence.“What gifts?” Heather was a little surprised as she never heard Myra mention it.“I picked some pretty and interesting items for you during my trip.” Myra would think of her whenever she saw something she liked, and she wished to share all the good things she had
