Refusing to discuss this matter any further, Heather only left it at that. In her eyes, seeing Matthias going all out trying to explain and change the topic only made it seem as if he was trying to cover something up, and Heather was definitely not in the mood to dig into it. Even though she didn’t say anything, she was worried about Leon’s safety. Although it didn’t seem like too big of a deal to Leon, and he had repeatedly emphasized he was safe, she wasn’t buying it.“Do you have any idea how to find Leon?” Matthias could tell that Heather was worried about Leon, and to eliminate her worries, she must find Leon and see to it that he was safe with her own eyes.“Leon is good at counter-reconnaissance. Since he can avoid the tracking of the other party, then we won’t be able to find him easily as well. It’ll be hard to look for his hideout.” Heather knew Leon well enough to know that it would be useless to track him down.“You can’t find him doesn’t mean I can’t,” Matthias said myste

Seeing Heather’s deep awareness of herself, Matthias felt like he had misunderstood her all along and had assumed that she was someone who wouldn’t repent.“If you’re able to recognize your problems, then it proves that there’s still a chance to fix them,” he said earnestly. It was better to console her during this time as it was rare that she would want to improve herself.“What problems do I need to fix?” Looking over at him, she needed to hear his answer.On the other hand, Matthias was stumped. Some of her bad habits also looked cute to him now. His mind inevitably went blank when she asked him about the problems she needed to fix.“You have a bad temper and are very purposeful.” He gave a general answer. Aside from that, he couldn’t think of anything else.In regard to her temper, she really didn’t give anyone any leeway, unless she had business relations with them, in which case she would give them some. In normal life, she wouldn’t even bother with anyone who couldn’t benefit h

Matthias’ sudden stern attitude created an awkward tension between the both of them. Heather didn’t think that her words would stir up such a big reaction from him.“You and Locke Group…” She had a bold prediction, but she wasn’t sure if she should say it out loud. It might be presumptuous to ask him so directly.“I don’t want to talk about Locke Group anymore.” His complexion improved slightly. He was a little sensitive about Locke Group these days, which inevitably got Heather thinking.“Okay. Let’s not talk about it, then.” She didn’t want to cross his boundary. That was the basic form of respect between people.They still had half an hour left before the plane would land. Heather and Matthias also tacitly agreed not to talk anymore. The entire first-class cabin was quiet; everyone was in deep sleep, while Heather was looking elsewhere.Previously, she was worried that someone was following them and suspected that the person might be in the first-class cabin. After observing for a

In the below freezing temperature at night, Heather was sleeping in a separate bed as Matthias in a standard room they had booked. Matthias didn’t dare to act rashly this time around and maintained a distance from her. She had given him a slight warning during the day, so he knew how far to go.Because Iceland had an abundance of geothermal energy, the temperature inside the hotel was ideal, and Heather soon fell asleep. On the other hand, Matthias was still unable to fall asleep. Looking at Heather, who was a short distance away, he let out a satisfied smile.The way she looked while she was asleep looked extremely harmless. She had lost the aggression she normally had, and her sleeping posture was also more carefree.Occasionally, she would knit her brows together. He didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but it didn’t seem like a pleasant dream. At the thought of driving in the car with her during the day, and how they even fought over a map, he realized that he liked this feeli

Early in the morning, Matthias and Heather started traveling. A journey to the west was what she had decided for them. It had been snowing nonstop throughout the night. Hence, she could only see a huge pile of snow when she looked out the window.As it just stopped snowing in the morning, they were set to head out. After hours of snow, the weather was rather cold so she had covered herself in a thick fleece jacket. Initially, she refused to as she wasn’t a fan of fleece jackets. However, he persistently insisted that she should wear it out. Thinking that he might have to take off his jacket for her again, she complied.With the fleece jacket on, she looked young and adorable. As someone who was petite and slim, she looked a little chubbier in the fleece jacket. While Matthias liked her outfit, she—on the other hand—couldn’t understand his taste in fashion.“You look like a bear when you’re wearing a fleece jacket.” Though she gave him a scornful stare, a smile crept up her lips as she
