《Standing before love 》全部章節：第 611 章 - 第 620 章

Meanwhile, as the sky grew increasingly dark, the lights on the rooftop of the Locke Residence lit up one after another. Matthias had made a special effort to install decorative lamps of various colors on the rooftop when he invited Heather for a candlelight dinner last time, and these lamps looked very beautiful when they were all lit up. Before they realized it, Heather and Matthias had stayed on the rooftop for such a long time. It was already late, and she was wondering when she should head back. Just then, Matthias said to her, “I just hired a chef from France yesterday. You must try the authentic French cuisine today.” He saw through her eagerness to go back. “I don’t like French cuisine,” Heather replied unceremoniously. She had never been polite to Matthias anyway. “I don’t like French cuisine either, but this chef is amazingly good at making French delicacies. You must try it,” he suggested. Heather smiled, for she could tell that Matthias was trying to use this excu

The two of them remained in such a posture, for Matthias took Heather’s struggle as playing hard to get. If it weren’t for the fact that she had to save Matthias’ face in front of the others, Heather would have shoved him away directly. She whispered to his ear, “Let go of me.”Such a movement was extremely suggestive in everyone else’s eyes, but only Matthias knew that Heather was displeased. Even though he was still a little tipsy, he didn’t dare to act so rashly anymore. Hence, he reluctantly let go of her. This was truly something unbearable, for no one would be willing to let go of the beauty in their arms. However, he was already content with everything that happened today, for he had seen Heather’s changes with his own eyes.He was now confident about the future, and he believed he would live until the day Heather personally agreed to go steady with him. By then, the nature of their relationship would gradually become clear.“I’ll be heading back first.” At this moment, Heather

Robert rarely chased Heather out of his study directly, but he drove her out mercilessly this time because of Matthias. Heather thought to herself, I didn’t act unworthily of Matthias this time.The butler was waiting outside the study, and Heather shot him a glance since he was the one who snitched on her. She glowered at him in displeasure, but she couldn’t place all the blame on him for this since he had always been loyal and devoted to Robert. In the end, she could only blame herself for failing to take notice last night.When she switched on her cell phone again, Heather saw that Matthias had made several calls to her. However, she was in no mood to answer his phone calls right now.Meanwhile, Matthias was busying himself in his office. After the conversation with Robert just now, he was having a profound self-examination. Right now, he couldn’t get through to Heather on her cell phone, and this distressed him terribly. What Robert had said was still fresh in his mind, and he rea

Having been dragged over to Heather’s room for no reason, Everly stared at the monitor on the desk. There was a drawing of a woman on the screen.“Do you recall this woman at all?” Heather asked as she pointed at the incomplete drawing.Everly squinted, taking in the picture. However, the drawing wasn’t detailed enough. After mulling it for a while, she still couldn’t figure out who the woman might be.“Let’s put our heads together,” Heather said like she was a psychologist.Everly looked at Heather in curiosity, wondering why the latter was in such a rush to get her up into her room. What was going on?“Is there a girl at your university who has pretty good looks and good grades, but isn’t from a well-off family? Someone who’s working part-time when she’s not in class.” That was all Heather could remember.Everly looked at Heather in a confused manner—that was too broad of a description. Everly shook her head, for she had no clue as to who that might be.“Look at this picture. Is the

There wasn’t much time left for Heather; she couldn’t waste any more time on the kidnapper, and she must find Everly as soon as possible. She was probably at campus during this hour, so Heather couldn’t be bothered with anything else as she prepared to rush to Everly’s university to look for her.Heather pulled on some clothes haphazardly; time was of the essence and she couldn’t waste a second. After rushing to the garage, she picked a black Jeep that was sturdy and could withstand crashes this time. In a flash, Heather drove away from the Langston Residence. Since it would take at least 20 minutes for Heather to reach Everly’s campus from the Langston Residence, she only had ten minutes to search for the latter.At that moment, Heather couldn’t get any response no matter how many times she dialed Everly’s number.Why won’t Everly pick up? Heather looked at her phone, worried.The clock was still ticking, and Heather did her best to calm herself. With that being said, how she wished
