Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 659

The moment Leon reminded Heather about it, he also felt that it was necessary for them to create a piece of big news. Once they had made their fake relationship official, it was much easier for the rest of their plans to continue.

“Heather, would it seem too deliberate?” he asked worriedly. If he announced their relationship two days before their family party, it seemed rather obvious that he simply found a woman to ward Dave off.

“Maybe we should double confirm one thing: does he mind if you lie to him? Heather still had not fully understood Leon’s current situation. She only knew that he needed to find a fake girlfriend for the moment to appease his grandfather.

“Of course. He hates it when people lie to him.” When he was younger, he had seen what happened to a man who lied to his grandfather. He still felt fear every time he remembered that.

She slapped Leon’s head. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Since he doesn’t want you to lie to him, you should tell him the truth!” She was quite pissed off by him.

“No, I can’t do that. The reason why he allowed me to come to Bradfort City is because I told him that I have a girl I like here and I want to date her.” His expression fell. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have used this excuse in the beginning. Serves me right!

“What?” Heather looked at him incredulously. Everything that is happening now is a result of his own doing?

Leon helplessly looked at her. “Heather, this is why you are the only person who can help me now.”

He had mentioned her to Dave in the beginning. Since Dave was quite satisfied with Heather as a person, he finally allowed Leon to come here.

“What do we do now?” She thought that they had to pretend to be a couple for only a few days. Now, it seemed like they would have to maintain the pretense for quite a long time, possibly to the point where they needed to experience the entire process as a couple.

Leon had a blank look as he had no idea what to do next. “I can only take one step at a time and see how everything goes. I don’t want to go home—they are going to screw me up.” He had no faith in his own family.

“Let’s take a seat now. You should tell me the entire story.” At this point, Heather felt that she should know the entire story and its details.

He hesitated for a while before he reluctantly agreed. “Let’s speak about it upstairs.” As the living room was devoid of decor, he preferred the cozy vibes of the room.

As soon as both of them went to the second floor one after another, Leon went to the master bedroom immediately with Heather trailing behind him. This time around, there were some changes to the room. She immediately saw the carpet on the floor that looked cozy.

“You complained that my house was not cozy enough last time, so I made some changes to it,” he proudly explained since he was already used to doing something that she would approve of. It was like an instinct that he could not even control.

“Looks good,” she praised casually.

Leon looked pleased with himself. After all, he loved to receive her praises. Sometimes, he would want her approval as a substitute for his family. Perhaps this was also why he liked to meet her often.

In no time, both of them sat on the carpet with a coffee table between them. Since they were chatting together, it would be better for the atmosphere to be casual. As such, they had some tea, which would make it quite relaxing to chat.

Heather poured herself a cup of tea while Leon raised his own cup, hoping that she would fill his beaker as well. Looking at his childish expression, she had no other choice but to pour another portion of tea for him.

Now that she thought about it, she found it weird that he was increasingly clingy toward her, as if he was a little girl. She regarded him from head to toe as she commented, “You seem strange recently.”

While drinking his tea, he lifted his head to look at her when he heard her comment. He did not think that there was anything wrong with him, so he had no idea what she was referring to.

“Why are you behaving in a more feminine manner recently? Your pinky even curls up when you hold the teacup,” Heather noted in disgust because Leon’s femininity did not match his sinewy figure.

“Hehe.” He revealed a meaningful smile that looked slightly lecherous amidst his shyness.

“Perhaps your grandfather was wrong from the beginning. He shouldn’t have asked you to bring a girlfriend to the family party. Maybe what you need is a boyfriend instead,” she teased, which immediately dissolved the tension between them. It was only in front of him that she had the courage to tease so much.

“Heather, you usually treat me as your sister. I can’t believe that you actually thought about it this way,” he replied in amusement. It was difficult for him to display his masculinity in front of her.

After all, Leon could not even defeat Heather in a fight and she was better than him in many ways. If he seriously thought about it, he felt slightly ashamed of his behavior as a man. As her male best friend, he felt that he was becoming increasingly feminine. On top of that, he had recently been courted by a real man, which made him speechless.

Heather smiled unabashedly. “Actually, it’s pretty good that you’re like that. I don’t like men who are extremely masculine. It’s better that you are more feminine.” Now that they were on this topic, she admitted that she really had no interest in the typical masculine men. Even Matthias, whom she had fallen for, was quite soft and feminine. Not only that, he was handsome and gentle too.

“Let’s start discussing the main topic of the day.” As Heather had been chatting about such trivial things without even touching on the main topic, Leon did not want the entire day to be wasted just like that.
