Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 429

Some things were far more difficult to achieve than one could imagine and Heather’s plan was too naive. Upon seeing Robert’s infuriated looks, she could only stop mentioning about the Hart Family.

After their conversation ended, she stared lifelessly at the snacks on the coffee table. Not only did I fail at my first try, I even angered Grandpa. I didn’t choose the right time to do it. Grandpa was already angered by Blake before, so why did I mention the Hart Family to him? Am I not pouring more fuel to the flame?

The more she thought about it, the more she resented herself and the angrier she became. Therefore, she decided to finish all those snacks that night itself since overeating was a way for her to reduce her stress.

For the whole night, she couldn’t fall asleep, especially after experiencing all the frustrating things earlier today, so she simply got out of bed and lay down on her couch. Even though she looked bored on the surface, her emotions were actually running wild inside her heart.

Luckily, time passed by quickly and it was already early morning. Therefore, she rubbed her eyes, but her mind was actually half-awake as it felt weighted. After scanning her surroundings, she realized that she had rested on the couch for the entire night, so she stumbled her way to the bed.

There were many things that upset her as her life recently turned into a mess. The moment she lay down on her bed, she immediately enjoyed a relaxed body and the comfortness of the bed after her body almost froze while she sat on the couch.

When she woke up again, it was already noon. As soon as the people who were having lunch saw her slowly walking down the stairs, they quickly put down their utensils and no one dared to call her over for lunch. Even Robert was still angry at her, so she had already missed the best part of lunch.

Seeing that everyone was almost finished with their food, Heather pouted her lips and said to everyone, “You all can continue eating.” Why does it look like I’m the house bully who won’t allow others to eat?

However, everyone continued to exchange glances with each other, except for Robert and Blake, who still remained indifferent toward her.

The moment she left, they resumed eating, but their eyes were staring at Robert. This time, he didn’t say anything and she didn’t greet him sweetly as usual, which meant that the two of them had a problem with each other.

Of course, the happiest person to see this scene at the table was Blake. He was delighted to see the old man ignoring Heather because in his eyes, the reason why she was so arrogant was because Robert was always pampering her.

Meanwhile, as soon as Heather left the Langston Residence, she suddenly felt more relaxed. It really is annoying when the whole family is staring at me. However, she still felt uncomfortable that Robert didn’t even bat an eye on her. Looks like he really is angry at me this time.

In the past, he would never ignore her, never mind refusing to even look at her. However, when she saw the hostile look on his face as she was about to greet him, the words were suddenly stuck in her throat. I just can’t get it. It’s obvious that Grandpa wants to reconcile with the Hart Family, so why is he still so stubborn? He doesn’t even allow me to mention them.

Therefore, she went into her car with mixed emotions, causing her to be distracted on the road and at the same time, her stomach was groaning with hunger. However, she was probably destined to repay Matthias for the rest of her life because she accidentally collided with the Maserati in front of her.

Then, she exited her car. The safety aspect of my little car is quite well-built. There isn’t much damage even after colliding with a luxury car.

However, the moment Heather saw the person coming out of the Maserati, she was immediately stunned. Why does it have to be Matthias?

She stared viciously at the scumbag who messed up her life as she couldn’t wait to kill him herself.

Her expression was so hostile that the onlookers thought that it was Matthias who hit her, but instead, he had a smile on his face. Is this man crazy? Why is he so happy after getting hit on the rear end?

“Miss Langston, what a coincidence!” He gave a bright smile, but Heather didn’t know what he was smiling about. If I knew that it was him, I would definitely have whacked him even harder.

“How much do I need to compensate?” she asked flatly as she didn’t bother to talk to him.

“If it is you, then there’s no need to do so,” he replied in a pleasing tone.

However, Heather couldn’t stand his fake actions, so she glared at him disdainfully before quickly taking a check out of her bag.

With a pen that she carried with her, she simply wrote 200,000 on the check before throwing at him straight after. “Is this enough?” It doesn’t seem like his car is damaged too much, so this should be enough.

After glancing at the numbers on the check, Matthias’ smile grew wider. “You really are generous, Miss Langston.” However, he then tore apart the check and obeyed the law by throwing it into a trash can.

In the eyes of the public, Matthias had always maintained a good impression, which Heather found despicable, but she somehow liked his actions in her heart. I must throw away these messy thoughts from my mind. He and I are now enemies. I can’t be moved just because he deliberately ran to the trash can to throw something.

“I can see that your car needs some repair, Miss Langston.” While his car was only scratched on the surface, hers was visually more affected.

“You don’t need to worry about me, Director Locke.” In front of the public, it wouldn’t be wise for her to say much, but she didn’t want to be here any longer. If the reporters catch us, who knows what they’ll write?

In the meantime, she opened the door and prepared to enter her car, but suddenly, Matthias came to her and responded, “Miss Langston, why don’t I take your car for the repairs? I know a great shop nearby.”

With the public watching them, Heather had no other choice, so she forced a smile. “Thank you, Director Locke.” I should pay more attention to my public image in case there is someone among the onlookers who knows me.
