The air was tense as Tony would never have expected Heather to bring forth such a matter. At the very least, it wasn’t one for them to deal with privately.Since it involved two families, he couldn’t make decisions on his own. However, Heather wasn’t one to be irrational either, so what on earth made her do such a thing?“So this is the work you wished to speak to me about?” Since the relationship between Langstons and the Hart family had been hostile for the longest time, it would only continue that way. Knowing that, Tony couldn’t see the discussion going anywhere.Disappointed, Heather frowned at Tony as his attitude made it apparent that the Hart family had no intention to reconcile with the Langstons, and the grudges they held against each other would not dissolve merely because of the Moriartys’ interference.“I’ve heard that the Moriartys have been working with the Locke Group in secret. Given how long they have hidden in the dark, there’s no way the Langston family is their so

Before Matthias’ arrival, Leon connected his laptop to the satellite and found out Heather’s whereabouts. It had been a long while yet she was still on the roads, reluctant to head home.Accordingly, Leon attempted to call her, only to find out that she had turned her phone off. No wonder! He revealed a helpless grin as he mused, She’s so persistent!Looks like his actions had hurt her. Since he was unable to support his friend into doing the wrong things, he could only think of righting her wrongs.Even now, Leon was trying to prove that point with his actions—baiting Matthias to see how concerned he was about Heather.If Matthias chose to be smart and strategic in this case, that would prove he hadn’t fallen deep enough for her. Back when Leon was all in for Heather, the Langstons used her as bait to lure him home. Although he considered himself sharp-witted, he didn’t contemplate too much back then and eventually fell for such ridiculous excuses. Perhaps he was blinded by love!Now

It was a heavy downpour out there. Heather, who had no makeup on, was sitting opposite Matthias. It stirred something within him that he wanted to capture and keep this beautiful moment to himself. A shutter sound could be heard and he took a photograph of her while she was drinking her coffee. However, she lifted her head the next second and snatched his phone away from him.He felt a little frustrated that he had forgotten to turn off the shutter sound, and now Heather had deleted the photo without a second thought. She then glanced at him coldly, her expression unkind. “Don’t simply take photos of me.” To Heather, she was looking like a mess now, so how could she let anybody photograph her in such a state? She fixed her fierce gaze at him, as though he had done something unforgivable.“You look too pretty so I couldn’t help it,” Matthias replied with utmost sincerity. Heather’s aura seemed weaker than usual when she did not put on any makeup, and she looked more adorable now when s

Once one opened up the soft spot of their heart, a lot of stories would unfold accordingly. Besides, some new changes would also lead to a big difference in a person. Matthias’ words were still circling around her ears but as she was hearing his voice, she gradually started to feel sleepy. Even if it was just himself, he could also talk eloquently.After a long moment, Matthias did not get any response from Heather so he asked, “Heather, are you listening?”She had fallen asleep while she was breathing steadily, and her phone was also slid to the side. She did not respond to him at all and it was as though Matthias was talking to the air.Right at this moment, he wondered if he had upset her again to get such a consequence, so he hurriedly reflected on himself.“Heather, have I said something to irritate you? Are you angry with me right now?” This is all he could think of at the moment. Well, he wouldn’t have thought that Heather had actually fallen asleep, because this was the first

The tea house had a good sound insulation effect as the roaring sound of the machinery not far from here could not be heard. Sitting in the tea house made them feel as though they were in another space, isolating them from the noise out there.The aroma of the tea wafted around the room, which teased Matthias’ olfactory. He knew that Heather was a person who liked to enjoy life and he thought that it wouldn’t be boring in the future when he was together with her. While he was deep in thought, anticipating his future with her, she remained quiet as she flipped through the documents.At this moment, he remembered some of his old memories. They had once sat by the lakeside while enjoying the breeze and at that time, he would secretly peek at her. It was something that even Myra had taken notice of—when he was with her, he would feel comfortable, but if Heather was there together with them, he would feel nervous.Although it was a memory from some time ago, he could still recall his nervo
