The atmosphere was making them both feel bad. While Leon was uncomfortable with Heather not telling him everything, he could not even complain about it because he knew that he deserved it. He now slightly regretted his decision to accompany her here. He felt that she might be even more comfortable being alone and that his presence had made her feel confined. Meanwhile, Heather shifted her gaze elsewhere. In the past, she had been the most at ease when she was with him, but now, Leon’s figure was like a heavy stone that rested upon her heart. The barrier between them really ruined their friendship. Both of them hoped that Zayne could quickly walk out of the room to resolve the awkwardness between them while Leon constantly looked at the door. Without a phone in her hands, Heather could not even find something to pass the time. Looking at the huge television in the living room, the only remaining option for her to salvage the awkwardness hangin in the air was to switch the device on.

As the car was being steadily driven on the highway, Heather shifted sideways, as if she wanted to increase the distance between her and Leon. At the moment, she just wanted to be left alone.He helplessly looked at her. He knew that she was heterosexual, but he did not understand why Myra’s position in her heart could not be compared to anyone else. To be precise, she had cared more for Myra than Matthias.To Leon, his lover was the most important person, even more than his family or friends. Of course, he was referring to his lifelong romantic partner and not his past flings.However, Heather thought otherwise. At least to her, Matthias had not reached such an important role to her. In fact, deep within her, she still did not want to admit that he was her lover.“Drive slower. I want to take a look at the scenery outside,” she said as she looked outside the window. The lights glimmered outside, but she suddenly felt lost, as if she did not know where she was at the moment.Upon hear

In a daze, Heather fell asleep again. A nap in the afternoon was the best. She was sleeping so soundly that she no longer felt hungry. On the other hand, Leon was playing a video game in the room, feeling rather bored.It wasn’t until 4 PM that he remembered Heather hadn’t eaten until now. A moment later, he came to her door again but this time, he didn’t knock on the door. Instead, he kicked it open.Seeing that Heather was sleeping so peacefully, Leon walked over with dissatisfaction and patted her cheek with his hand.“Wake up,” Leon said while patting her cheek. It was rare to see Heather sleeping like this. Was this room that cozy to fall asleep in?Puzzled, Heather opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that a face was approaching her, she instinctively raised her head and was about to attack. However, Leon managed to dodge it.“It’s me, Heather! What are you doing?” Heather almost ruined his face with her punch. He knew very well how scary her fist was.“Why did you disturb my sleep

Suddenly, the car accelerated as Leon smiled slyly at Heather, “Hat, I think there aren’t many people who would hate you at first sight.”To him, Heather was different and no one could be compared to her. He strongly believed that no one would hate her with that charm of hers.“There are people everywhere that hate me at first sight.” Heather opposed Leon’s words. Due to her stunning appearance, other women would always hate her for her beauty.Leon continued to accelerate the car, going well over the speed limit. Yet, he wasn’t bothered by it at all. Although there were not many cars on the road, it was still dangerous for him to drive in such a manner.“Why are you suddenly speeding up? Are you rushing somewhere” Heather asked with a hint of mockery in her tone.Smiling, Leon didn’t answer her question. Instead, he continued accelerating his car. With her eyes slightly narrowed, she wondered if he was taking part in a car race.Looking at his determined profile, Heather didn’t know

Having forgotten their surroundings, Leon and Heather were in their own world and were not quick to notice Dave’s approach.Thus, from their perspective, Dave’s appearance was rather sudden. Warily, Leon eyed his grandfather and tightened his grip around Heather. His cautious stance made his care for her obvious to outsiders.Holding onto a wine glass, Dave observed the pair with a neutral expression. Leon rarely cared about anything these days, and his actions only made the former more curious about Heather.From where she was standing, Heather couldn’t see Dave. Nonetheless, she could feel Leon suddenly stiffening and burying her face against his chest.The strange action made her suspicious and she tried to struggle out of his grip. However, he soon explained his actions. “Stop moving! My grandpa is here,” he said, wanting both to hold her and prevent her coming face to face with his grandfather.“Let go of me, then,” she whispered to him.“Trust me,” he answered instead, pressing
