Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 593

Seeing Heather’s deep awareness of herself, Matthias felt like he had misunderstood her all along and had assumed that she was someone who wouldn’t repent.

“If you’re able to recognize your problems, then it proves that there’s still a chance to fix them,” he said earnestly. It was better to console her during this time as it was rare that she would want to improve herself.

“What problems do I need to fix?” Looking over at him, she needed to hear his answer.

On the other hand, Matthias was stumped. Some of her bad habits also looked cute to him now. His mind inevitably went blank when she asked him about the problems she needed to fix.

“You have a bad temper and are very purposeful.” He gave a general answer. Aside from that, he couldn’t think of anything else.

In regard to her temper, she really didn’t give anyone any leeway, unless she had business relations with them, in which case she would give them some. In normal life, she wouldn’t even bother with anyone who couldn’t benefit her.

She was purposeful in her interactions with people as she targeted people based on their value. Matthias was not a fool. He had sensed very early on that she was using him.

He saw through her intentions from the start, but he was swayed by her. Even if she was using him, he would still go along with it.

“You told me in the past that I was even using Myra. Thinking about it now, you weren’t wrong.” She mentioned Myra without realizing. Despite never wanting to admit that she was using Myra, after all the things Myra said today, she couldn’t help but reflect on her actions.

From the start, she had approached Myra with a motive. She wouldn’t be able to face herself if she denied that now. When she thought back on their past, she couldn’t remember when she had started treating Myra as a real friend.

“I said that in a burst of anger. I can see that you’re genuine to Myra. Even though you’ve done some hurtful things to her, you were also the one who took the most care of her,” he comforted. Listening to the sad things she was saying, he felt absolutely heartbroken for her.

The truth of the matter was clear. Myra must have found out about the things Heather kept hidden from her; why else would Heather have come out of Myra’s house in that state?

This was a tough situation that even Matthias couldn’t be of much help in. If he resented Heather that much back then, then it must be worse for Myra. She was certainly furious and wouldn’t forgive Heather no matter what.

Nevertheless, this issue was also a heavy blow to Heather. She was doubting herself and her life. Matthias wanted to come up with a countermeasure, but he couldn’t think of a good way. It was better for them both to resolve this themselves.

“The airport is right ahead. Stop overthinking. The both of you need to calm down for a moment. When we come back from Norway, you can go to Myra again and talk to her.” Matthias felt like he was simply a considerate and sweet man at this moment. He wanted to step up and be a beacon to Heather to expel the gloominess in her heart.

“Myra doesn’t want to see me again. I don’t have the right to go look for her now. I want to do something to make it up to her, but she won’t even give me that chance. It’s all my fault for going too far.” She was like a weak little girl who spurred people to want to take care of her.

While Matthias was driving, he reached out to put a hand on her shoulder and give her some comfort.

“I want to go to Iceland,” she said abruptly. She wanted to go to an ice-cold nation that befitted the cool, icy feeling she felt.

“Okay,” he replied without hesitation. Wherever she wanted to go, he would accompany her.

It was already dark out now. As they got out of the car one after the other, they were met with a dreary-looking airport. Heather urgently wanted to leave this place even though they couldn’t take a direct flight to Iceland.

Upon arriving at the front desk, they bought tickets to go to Paris first and planned to switch flights to go to Iceland in France. Since their flight was at dawn, an endless night still awaited them. Hence, they went to rest in the boarding area.

Huddled together, the both of them looked just like a couple. Heather was leaning against his shoulder while listening to him talk.

In order to prevent her from thinking about Myra, he kept talking to her to divert her attention, which she also went along with. The two had never been that harmonious before.

Every now and then, people would cast curious and envious glances at them. Their looks were that eye-catching in a crowd. The presence Heather had, especially, resembled a dazzling lotus flower. Whether it was their looks or presence, they were both well-matched.

It had been a long time since Matthias was this close to her. He felt his heart thumping as he smelled the nice fragrance coming off of her. At this moment, he felt a wave of happiness. He only wished he could always be that close to her.

As the latter part of the night gradually approached, he listened to the sound of Heather’s steady breathing while she slept on his shoulder. While she was sleeping, the crease between her brows still did not ease. Seeing her weighed down, he only despised himself for not being able to expel her worries and solve her problems.

She was adamant on not letting Matthias and Myra meet. In truth, he really wanted to meet Myra once. That way, he could speak up for Heather.

He saw how much Heather cared about Myra, and he wanted to tell Myra all about it. The words that came out of his mouth would be the most convincing.

Watching Heather turn timid when she never did, he decided that he would come up with a secret plan of his own once they returned. He didn’t want to see Myra and Heather break apart from each other either. He still had a small place in his heart for Myra although they didn’t end up together; he still cherished those wholesome moments of his past and still saw Myra as a good friend.
