Semua Bab Standing before love : Bab 631 - Bab 640

Heather left Zayne’s temporary residence with a fuzzy mind. In all honesty, she didn’t even know how she got into the car. In the end, she started the car with a million thoughts running through her mind.The weather was rather fine today, with the afternoon sun lazily spilling light over the land. It was an afternoon that Heather would usually love but she had lost the mood to enjoy the sunshine today. Sitting in the driver’s seat, she kept rubbing her temple while biting her lips.The lack of rest recently had made her migraine more severe. She wondered if Myra was being properly treated in the hands of the kidnappers, and Heather couldn’t forgive herself when she thought of this.At this rate, Heather might push her own body to the limits before Myra was rescued. Every day and night, she was unable to close her eyes and have a good night’s sleep; sometimes, she would fall asleep but would later be awakened by nightmares.Little did she know that Myra was actually having a good time

Upon hearing that, Zayne shrugged. What a tease Heather is, not giving me any leeway to flirt with her!Now, not only could he not take advantage of her through his actions, but he couldn’t take advantage of her by his words either. And so, Zayne couldn’t help but question his decision. If he hadn’t come over so easily, he might have been able to negotiate something for himself.“Don’t think of doing anything funny,” Heather snapped at him now as she eyed him viciously.He could only offer her a helpless smile in response. He didn’t dare to argue with her, since one could only compromise upon meeting a woman such as Heather. Not too long ago, he thought she had crossed a line but now, he was mesmerized by her. No matter how outrageous her request, he was willing to go through hell or high water for her.Once again, he shrugged. Unfortunately for him, she greatly disliked this action and thought he seemed all too much like an unreasonable hooligan.“You’re so cruel to me, Heather!” Afr

Step by step, Heather ascended the stairs to the second floor. Her gaze was as fierce as a hawk’s and she was giving off a murderous aura.These few days, Robert hadn’t sought her out for a chat. It seemed he had realized that something troubled her and had decided to give her some space.The freedom thrilled Heather, for she was most afraid of facing him during this time. If he pushed, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to lie to him.When she returned to her small space, she took off her coat and prepared to take a shower. Ever since Myra’s kidnapping, she had found every day to be torturous yet passing too quickly.After her shower, she came out wrapped in a towel. Her bare shoulders were alluring and her hair was still dripping water. Since there was no particular reason for her to do her hair during this period, she simply let it air dry while she sat in front of the computer, frowning deeply.After turning on the computer and reading a few lines on it, she sighed softly. E

In Singapore, the gentle breeze that brushed by in the night gave Heather a strange feeling. She was, after all, in the streets of a foreign country, so it would only be natural for her to miss Bradfort City, especially the people there. All of a sudden, Matthias’ face popped up in her head.She shrugged away the messy thoughts in her head, then cast a glance at the hustle and bustle not far away. After a fleeting hesitation, she decided to head in. It was a European-styled building and from its exterior, it looked nothing like a casino at all. This was a casino in Singapore that was operated by Genting Corporation from Malaysia.Gambling was legal here. Heather wanted to experience the exhilaration that was induced right before one won or lost a game, which she found a rather effective way to destress.When she entered the building, the greeter at the entrance couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at her—it seemed like nobody could ignore her beauty no matter where she was. Her r

In the last few minutes, Heather contacted Zayne since there was no point hiding anything from him at this moment. The reason Zayne’s progress was rather slow was largely due to her reservation—she refused to reveal much about her family’s conflict.“I—” She paused the moment she said that one word. However, time was running out and she couldn’t put Myra’s life at risk.“I have to make a decision,” she blurted. Meanwhile, Zayne, who was on the other end of the line, had a bewildered look on his face and he wondered why she suddenly said something so strange.Before he could make sense of the situation, Heather ended the call. Feeling speechless, he looked at his phone, puzzled by her words.Heather soon gave the mysterious man a call. She now had no other choice as all she could do was to follow what he said.“I agree.” Her tone was adamant.The mysterious man looked at the timer on the coffee table, a complacent smile playing by the corner of his lips. The timer showed that there was
