Semua Bab Standing before love : Bab 681 - Bab 690

Hearing that, Heather forced a smile. Of course, she wouldn’t buy Leon’s words—he must have been dawdling out there.“This is too much! She wouldn’t be able to finish it.” Matthias was disturbed hearing Leon’s words. Since when is he so good at pleasing Heather?Leon grinned. “It’s okay to waste. Just throw it away if you can’t finish it.”Seeing Leon’s cheeky face, Matthias suspected Leon and Heather were keeping something from him as he felt the atmosphere between the two had changed.Initially, Heather was feeling a little hungry, but she had instantly lost her appetite when she saw Leon bring in so much food.“I’m already full just by seeing these,” Heather said in a disgusted manner.Leon feigned a sad look. Any other girl would be touched but only Heather would take his kind intention for granted.“Have some porridge.” Matthias took a bowl of porridge. Porridge would be more suitable for Heather because it was friendly to one’s stomach.However, Heather shook her head. “I don’t

Not knowing what Heather was up to this time, Leon looked at her doubtfully and had a hunch that she was up to no good. Heather didn’t want to continue hiding things from Leon, so she told him the whole story while he stared at her in a daze as he listened to her explanation.“Heather, I can’t believe you’ll actually do such a thing.” Leon couldn’t understand her at all. Despite the close relationship between Heather and Robert, she shouldn’t use her marriage as a means to fulfill her filial obligations.“I don’t want Grandpa to die with regrets.” Heather thought about the past. Although she had contributed a lot to the Langstons, what Robert had given her was even more.The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. Robert was already on the brink of death, and yet she hadn’t properly repaid his kindness.“Heather, since you care for your grandfather so much, why don’t you go and find some renowned doctors? Maybe some of them will be able to save him.” Leon just couldn’t co

It took one look from Matthias to send Nikolai running. There was always a murderous gleam in his eyes whenever he was in one of his moods. If looks could kill, then Matthias could be a mercenary if he weren’t already a businessman.Now that he was left alone in his office once more, Matthias dived back into work. He knew that Nikolai and Lara only wanted to make sure he was alright, but he simply could not be bothered with their kindness right now.His heart twisted bitterly at the thought of Heather becoming someone else’s woman. He was sure that he was on par with, if not better, than the likes of Leon, so why did she choose to be with the latter instead?He knew that it was not in Heather’s nature to be impulsive, which meant she had put a lot of thought into this before finally making a decision. This only added more weight to Matthias’ mind, and the more he dwelled on this, the worse he felt. He couldn’t come to terms with the fact that she had fallen for someone else.It had on

In order to prevent Matthias from doing anything embarrassing, Evan quickly lugged him away. Meanwhile, Ether appeared reluctant to see him go. Seeing that, Evan was displeased, as he didn’t expect that Matthias could win her heart so easily. He had heard that Ether was an icy beauty, and she had hardly taken a liking to any man. Therefore, it had never crossed his mind that she’d fall for Matthias.Unfortunately, she was Ether, and not Heather, after all. Matthias loved Heather and no one else. Evan shot a pitiful glance at Ether, who had just lost her love crush. At that instant, he recalled the woman he had fallen in love with at first glance in the past. The person who fell in love first in any relationship was destined to get hurt. Love was the unfairest thing in this world, as it wasn’t an exchange of equal values. Perhaps one might think that they had given all they had, but to the other party, it was nothing more than trouble.Evan supported Matthias’ weight with difficulty. A

Matthias attempted to chase after Ether moments later, but she was already far gone. With his pajamas on and a messy hair, he looked rather chaotic.After giving Evan a threatening glance, he then ordered, “Bring her back. She hasn’t even put her shoes on.” After all, Matthias felt that he was also at fault and could not just let Ether go without apologizing.However, Evan thought it was better not to chase after her. From his understanding of Matthias, the man didn’t like to owe anyone. Although he didn’t like being intimate with women, there was still a sense of chivalry in him.With Ether’s departure this time, it would make Matthias even more guilty. In other words, it would secure a follow-up meeting for the two of them.Evan was obviously reluctant to go after her, so he said to Matthias, “She’s far gone, sir. There’s no way we can catch up to her.”Since he didn’t want to go out the house with his pajamas on, he could only gaze at Evan and perturbedly uttered, “I really hate it
