Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 639

Early in the morning, Heather didn’t even bother to apply any serum and she went straight upstairs to talk to Everly. Luckily she went there early, as the latter was just about to leave the house.

Everly was in an exceptionally good mood and when she saw Heather, her lips curved into a smile as she greeted the other woman affectionately.

“Heather!” Everly didn’t sense Heather’s unusual behavior and she also didn’t notice the flash of anger in the latter’s eyes. Heather, on the other hand, studied Everly intently before asking, “Are you going out?” Everly’s all dressed-up right now. It’s so early in the morning, so where is she going?

“Yes.” Everly seemed to be in high spirits and she looked quite energetic at the moment. It looks like she must have had a good night’s sleep, Heather pondered over it and came to this insignificant conclusion. She felt regretful that she hadn’t noticed Everly’s change in behavior previously. Right now, she was quite sure that Everly was going out to meet her significant other. Who’s the guy? she mused to herself as she saw the glowing expression on the other woman’s face. Heather came to such a conclusion based on Everly’s unusual actions recently, and this was the very first time she paid attention to this current situation—previously, she had never really thought about this.

“Who are you meeting?” Heather pretended to ask with an innocent expression.

Just then, Everly, who was originally full of smiles, had a sudden change in demeanor and Heather managed to catch this slight detail. The latter focused her intent gaze on the former, which resulted in the former having no choice but to answer the question.

“Just a friend,” Everly reluctantly replied. However, Heather naturally didn’t believe her.

“Just an ordinary friend?” Heather persisted and her expression became sharper, which resulted in Everly being unable to meet her eyes.

Everly nodded and hummed, feeling quite helpless at the moment. Heather’s being so overbearing; this is so stressful!

“It looks like your friend must be quite special to you,” Heather muttered with a cold smile, which caused Everly to shiver out of fright.

“Just an ordinary friend of mine,” Everly insisted once again. At the moment, she felt as though Heather was her elder, and it made her feel inexplicably guilty.

Just then, Heather smiled and her whole demeanor softened. “Why are you so nervous?” In all honesty, she couldn’t quite understand why Everly was so nervous, and she came to the conclusion that the latter was keeping a big secret from her.

However, Everly then murmured with an abashed smile, “Nothing much. I’m running late for my appointment.”

As soon as Heather realized that, she stood aside and cleared a path for Everly while saying, “Hurry up, then. Don’t keep your friend waiting for too long.”

Everly had assumed that Heather would persist in asking questions but unexpectedly, the latter had willingly allowed her to go on her way. She, too, didn’t bother to consider the situation too much because she was rushing to go out.

In the end, Everly was so preoccupied when she left the room that she didn’t even realize Heather was still in her room. This further strengthened Heather’s deduction that there was something wrong with her cousin.

As soon as Everly left, Heather walked out of the room. Meanwhile, Everly had already made her way to the living room. As Heather looked on from upstairs, she suddenly came up with an idea.

Along the way, she carefully trailed after Everly, though she was worried that the latter would notice her presence. Right now, Heather drove the butler’s car—a commonly seen car on the streets—in order to mask her presence.

Meanwhile, Everly drove in an unsteady and frantic manner in the front, seeming to give off a different vibe than before. Heather maintained a distance and didn’t follow too closely behind as she was worried of being noticed.

Heather’s anxiety levels were off the charts and it stuck to her; after all, she wasn’t a professional private investigator and she was worried sick that Everly would realize that something was amiss. The cars on the road increased as time went by and Heather really wished she had a pair of binoculars as she was about to lose sight of Everly’s car.

Heather’s car was quite a distance away from Everly’s car when suddenly, the latter turned right at the traffic light. As a result, Heather ended up completely losing sight of her car. It was a pain to encounter traffic lights when trailing after someone and just then, Heather was stuck at the lights so she could only watch helplessly as Everly’s car drove further and further away.

She banged on her steering wheel angrily while her eyes remained fixated in the direction that Everly had gone off. However, she was not quite resigned to her luck just yet and wanted to continue with her pursuit.

And so, Heather hastily turned right in the same direction. Right now, she no longer had any qualms so she stepped on the accelerator to speed up. There were many cars in front of her and she could no longer identify Everly’s car from the crowd.

Everly usually kept a low-profile in the Langston Family and her car was also an inconspicuous one. Therefore, it wasn’t an easy job trying to identify her car from those on the road. Heather racked her brain to come up with a solution and knew that she must not lose sight of Everly. Right now, all I need is a bit of luck. Meanwhile, she decided to keep going and try her luck. She guessed that Everly was just in front of her and the road was quite a long one, so she hoped that she would be able to find her along the way.

Heather approached another traffic light but she still hadn’t found Everly’s car. She then narrowed her eyes and stared intently as she tried to figure out each vehicle registration plate.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed across her eyes—it turned out to be Everly’s car that she had been searching for for so long. Heather felt her spirits lift and it looked like the Heavens were on her side as well.

She noticed Everly headed straight at the traffic light, so she hurriedly trailed behind her. The stretch of road that Everly took was quite long and Heather found herself driving along for about half an hour. Come to think of it, it seems that Everly is driving around in circles. There’s quite obviously a shorter and more direct route to take, so why is she taking the long route?
