At this moment, a fierce gaze was directed toward them, making Leon feel even less like staying. Since it happened every time the family gathered, he was sensing that his cousin would very soon come and cause trouble for him. There was no way this time would be an exception.Unfortunately, Heather failed to understand and only advised him patiently, “It doesn’t seem appropriate for us to leave so early. Why are you so eager to rush home?”“There are some things I can’t explain to you right here,” he answered uneasily. While he didn’t care if his cousin caused trouble for him alone, he didn’t want to drag her into things.The fact that his cousin had left him alone for so long this time was likely solely because of her presence. No doubt, the man was observing them for now so that he could attack them after he had a general understanding of her personality. Leon was loath to imagine what that man had to be thinking, for his cousin’s gaze was growing more and more unfriendly and even st

In the unhappy atmosphere, they ended their discussion. Leon knew this was Heather’s way of protecting herself; in fact, she had hurt him many times by acting just like this.For the last few minutes of the journey, they remained in silence and did not speak even as she exited the car. This time, he stayed in the driver’s seat throughout the entire process and did not get out to see her to the door.While Heather could hear the car idling behind her, she didn’t turn back. Only after he had driven and she had walked very far away from each other did she frailly look over her shoulder at the long, empty stretch of road.Resigned, she turned to face forward once again, thinking that she understood Leon so little now. Perhaps she never really knew him. After so long, she finally understood one thing, which was that the friends and family she surrounded herself with wouldn’t necessarily stay forever.Self-deprecatingly, she smiled, thinking about the fact that the people by her side were l

Separated only by a door, Heather leaned against it. She felt like all her energy was sucked out at once. Just as she said, she was not that fond of Matthias. When faced with a dilemma, she had abandoned him without hesitation.“Go away!” Robert spat the two words arduously. He didn’t want Heather to continue speaking. In addition, he didn’t want his health to affect Heather’s future.“Grandpa, I’d like to get married. Will you come and give me your blessing?” Heather had made up her mind. At this moment, she wasn’t asking for his consent; she was informing him about her plan.“Heather, who are you marrying?” Robert’s voice was tinged with anxiety. He didn’t know what Heather’s plan was, and he couldn’t allow her to mess around.“It’s someone whom you’ve met before, Grandpa. We’ve known each other for many years and we know each other well. He will bring me happiness.” Heather couldn’t think of another suitable candidate now. All she needed was someone whom she could marry.“Heather,

The board members were left astounded as they watched Matthias disappear from their sight without any explanation. Such a situation had never occurred before.Lara gripped the ballpen tightly as she watched Matthias leave in a hurry. There was only one person in this world that could make Matthias be as flustered as he was now—that person was Heather.Lara’s hate for the woman named Heather was gradually increasing. She couldn’t understand what exactly was so good about Heather that could make Matthias behave this inferior. In fact, she might not abhor Heather that much if Heather and Matthias came out as a couple, but she had witnessed over and over again how mean Heather was to Matthias.No one could withstand the person of their dreams being fooled around as such by another woman. Lara thought Matthias was out of Heather’s league, and she was determined to teach Heather a lesson.In order to reach the hospital in the shortest time, Matthias dashed out and hailed a cab. Being a bund

How was it possible that a man could be so good-looking? There were plenty of handsome and attractive men around Heather, but no one had attracted her the way Matthias did.Thinking that she might not be able to see this tender, attractive face of his in the future made her feel horrible. What a greedy woman she was; did she desire to own the whole world? Unfortunately, his world would have nothing to do with her soon. She didn’t have the guts to open her eyes wide as it would be harder to let him go after seeing him clearly.On the other hand, Matthias had been keeping her company by her bedside all this while. He had even turned off his phone so that he could take care of her without any distractions. Besides, he wouldn’t want any potential noise to disturb her.If it wasn’t fated that they met, it must be a sin. The strong wind was blowing outside the window. As she listened to the sound, she was getting more and more anxious. The weather outside sounded as bad as she felt right no
