Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 190

Kris was way more intelligent than Sasha. She pretended not to know who Sebastian was at the start so that she could take her time and create a good impression on him. Although this trick might work on ordinary old men, Sebastian had seen all sorts of tricks in his life. Therefore, he simply glanced at her indifferently before turning back to continue ringing the doorbell.

She couldn’t help feeling somewhat humiliated when she saw that he was ignoring her. She was about to say something. At that moment, he muttered under his breath after being ignored despite ringing the doorbell several times, “Strange; what is going on? I clearly saw them heading here. Why is nobody answering the door? Could it be that they didn’t come here?”

He had left the clubhouse out of boredom today. Thus, he asked his driver to turn the car around and head to the mall instead. He suddenly had a craving for fish, especially the steamed fish Myra made the other day. As soon as his car entered the underground parking lot, he immediately caught sight of a white sports car. Isn’t that my little grandson and Myra standing behind that car?! They are carrying several bags of ingredients. It looks like they are going home to prepare lunch.

After seeing the car drive away, he hurriedly asked his driver to secretly follow them. From the route they were taking, they seemed to be heading toward his grandson’s villa. Thus, he asked his driver to slow down and stop by the side of the road for a while before heading over again. He was worried that his grandson might notice him. Besides, he knew the direction to the villa. Unexpectedly, nobody came to answer the door even though he got out of the car and rang the doorbell repeatedly.

When Kris heard Sebastian talking to himself, she hurriedly said, “Director Hart is here. You didn’t come to the wrong place.”

Sebastian finally couldn’t ignore the woman next to him any longer. Frowning, he asked, “Who are you?”

Seeing that the old man was finally talking to her, she hastily showed him an adorable smile. “My name is Kris Stark. I am Myra’s younger sister.”

“Myra has a younger sister? Why haven’t I heard her mention you before?” he quietly asked. To be honest, he was aware of who she was. He had thoroughly investigated Myra’s entire family, all the way back until her ancestors, a long time ago. Naturally, he also knew about the relationship between Myra and Kris. Still, both the grandfather and grandson duo were protective of Myra. Therefore, he did not show any kindness to the woman in front of him.

She looked a little embarrassed. Clasping her hands in front of her nervously, she revealed an uneasy expression. “Sis left the house a long time ago, she…” She glanced at him quickly before lowering her head again with a troubled expression. “I don’t think she likes me very much. So, she might not have mentioned me to other people before…”

“Oh. I get that you are Myra’s sister, but why are you looking for my grandson?” He was clearly not easily fooled by simple tricks.

Her heart rate accelerated slightly. Even so, she forced herself to speak calmly. “The Stark Group is hoping to cooperate with the Hart Group on the Elsinore Garden Project. I am the person in charge of the Elsinore Garden Project. I came here to meet Director Hart because I have some urgent issues to discuss with him.” Of course, that’s not the actual reason. But, this is the only answer I can give this old man right now!

After listening to her explanation, his brilliant eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth twitched. “You’re really hardworking and proactive, Miss Stark, to still be thinking about work on the weekends.”

She felt a little displeased upon hearing the distant manner in which he was addressing her. He calls Myra ‘Myra’, but he calls me ‘Miss Stark’. As expected, Myra has already sunk her claws into the elders of the Hart Family! Damn it! I’m one step too late! Forcing a pure and innocent smile on her face, she said, “I simply wanted to share some of the burdens my father is carrying. My father is getting older. I don’t want him to work so hard anymore.”

“That’s very filial of you,” he dryly replied. Then, he turned away and continued ringing the doorbell. He was making it clear that he did not wish to continue talking to her.

Although Kris felt a little annoyed inside, she knew that she couldn’t rush things with the elders of the Hart Family. Thus, she quietly stood by the side. In any case, Sebastian had not asked her to leave. And, her reason to be here was a legitimate one. Even if she couldn’t attract Tony’s attention as per her original plan, it wasn’t a bad outcome since she met with Sebastian and created a better impression of herself on him instead.

However, the two of them had not expected that their wait would last for half an hour. Adding to the fact that Sebastian had asked his driver to wait by the side of the road for more than 20 minutes earlier, he had practically been waiting for almost an hour now.
