Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 543

Heather learned a few lessons from the heart to heart session. She knew Matthias didn’t understand women, but now she knew she didn’t understand men either. In the end, they were idiots when it came to relationships. They didn’t know how to love, so they ended up hurting each other.

Heather had never walked a mile in Matthias’ shoes, so she kept denying his love for her. But if he didn’t love her, none of the mess would have happened. Heather was feeling much better when she came back to her room. She was only angry because Matthias was overly attentive of Everly. Before this, she said she was keeping him away from her cousin, but the truth was that she was actually jealous that he was checking out someone else.

She tried her best to lie to herself, but to her surprise, she actually cared about Matthias more than she let on. When she got back to her room, Heather lay down on her bed and glanced at her phone, then she took it. A moment later, she realized Matthias had called her countless times and sent her dozens of messages.

There were a lot of messages, but she read through them patiently, and she realized Matthias only made an explanation after a few minutes between each message. She didn’t like that, but she didn’t know that Matthias needed to seek counsel from Evan after he got back. He wouldn’t know what he did wrong otherwise. That was why his messages took some time.

Evan disliked the new work, because Matthias was as dumb as a rock when it came to romance; not even Evan wanted to guide him anymore. Matthias had committed a lot of grave crimes in romance, and Evan wondered why Heather kept forgiving him. If it were anyone else, they would have cut all contact with Matthias already.

Even though Heather kept giving him chances, Matthias showed no considerable progress. In fact, the mistakes he made kept getting weirder and weirder. At this point, even Evan the love counselor couldn’t salvage the situation. Coupling that with how random Heather could be, Evan didn’t think they could end up dating.

Meanwhile, Matthias was on the verge of giving up, for Heather had been silent for hours. He was holding on to his phone, and when he was about to fall asleep, Heather finally texted him, waking him up.

Matthias was relieved after reading the message. Thank god Heather is still giving me a chance. He thought it was a serious matter after hearing Evan’s analysis, though reality turned out to be much kinder, and he smiled.

Hence, Matthias took the chance to ask her out on a date. Romance was all about dates, so he wanted to have more alone time with her. ‘Wanna come with me on a ride tomorrow?’ Someone gave Matthias a couple of free vouchers a few days ago, but he hadn’t used it, so he wanted to invite Heather on a date.

‘What kind of ride?’ Instead of refusing him outright, Heather threw him a question. In other words, Matthias had a chance.

‘A super high tech, super realistic ride.’ Matthias recalled some of the vouchers were for high tech rides. Realistic rides sounded fun, so he thought Heather would like it.

‘Place?’ Heather still didn’t refuse him. She’s giving me a chance. This is good.

‘Tech Plaza,’ he quickly answered, for he had a feeling she’d say yes.

‘Time.’ On the other hand, Heather thought Matthias was slow in the uptake. Most people would tell their date the venue, time, and content of the date at once, but she had to ask Matthias for it one by one.

‘Nine in the morning,’ Matthias answered promptly.

‘I’ll think about it and get back to you tomorrow,’ she answered seriously. It looked like they had a long way to go before they could date.

Then, she tossed her phone aside, ignoring him. Heather didn’t like to spend much time on her phone, or else her life would only revolve around it. She brought her phone around to maintain contact with everyone, but she wouldn’t check it most of the time.

She wanted to spend more time on work, and even if she was trying to wind down, she’d spend the time on something meaningful. Scrolling her phone was meaningless, so she never had an interest in it, and she had even less need of her phone when she was overseas.

People like her were rare in the modern era, but she wouldn’t break her own rules even if it meant she’d have to go against the flow. Phone scrolling could easily waste an hour or two of her life, and she knew that was not a good thing. Time was a precious resource, so she wanted to spend it wisely.

Even though she was on her bed, Heather didn’t feel like sleeping, so she got up and went to her bookshelf. It had been a while since she read. Heather thought everyone should read as much as they could, and as long as they could. Humans should spend their life getting their hands on professional knowledge and all kinds of information.
