Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 660

Upon seeing the current situation, Heather felt that she had nothing else to talk to Leon about anymore. Looking at him in disappointment, she said, “I think I need to calm down.”

The plans that she formulated in her mind were completely disrupted. She had lost all interest in them and she only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, he had no idea how he had antagonized her. She suddenly became rather frightening, making him fearful to continue speaking for the fear that she might suddenly slap him.

“Heather, did I say something wrong just now?” he asked remorsefully, thinking that he must have annoyed her because of what he had said earlier.

“I think I’m going to reconsider our collaboration plan.” Heather did not seem like she was joking at all. Looking at how serious she was in her eyes, Leon became even more worried. Even up until now, he could not figure out what had gone wrong here.

When she rose to leave, he pulled her. “Heather, did I anger you? Where are you going?” At such a crucial juncture, she can’t leave!

“Leo, it’s only now that I found out that I’ve never really known you at all,” she answered angrily. She was so disappointed in him at this moment. After so many years, I haven’t understood him at all. I don’t even know who he really is.

Leon innocently looked at her. Did I go overboard with my words earlier? He tried to remember what had exactly happened. Did I do something wrong? In that instant, he felt wronged.

“Heather, did you misunderstand something? I don’t have any intentions to trick you, I just…” Toward the end of his sentence, he looked quite troubled as he thought that no matter what he said at this moment, it would just be excuses to her ears.

“Leon, let me calm down first.” Heather did not want to listen to any explanations from him at this moment. The more he tried to explain, the angrier she became. She suddenly understood how it would feel to be betrayed by her best friend.

She remembered Myra, who was still in the ringleader’s hands at this moment. Back then, Myra was also mad at her. Thinking about it now, she would not give the other person a good time if she had also suffered the same treatment.

Heather was annoyed by her own behavior, so this time around, she hoped that during their mission to save Myra, Myra would not be hurt at all. If possible, she would much rather be the one who got kidnapped.

“Heather, we don’t have much time left. You must help me this time around.” Leon was frowning so hard that his eyebrows had almost connected with each other. He was worried that she might suddenly leave him alone. If that happened, his life would be ruined.

“Leon, do you know how selfish you are? Throughout my entire life, I hate it the most when people exploit my feelings to lay traps on me. You have reached my bottom line. How can I even forgive you?” Heather yelled. After all, she was unable to pretend as if nothing had happened.

He regretted that he told her the truth this early as he accidentally blurted his true thoughts out. How can I forget that Heather is one who would be convinced by gentleness? She doesn’t like being forced. “I’m really sorry, Heather. Something must have happened to me. I shouldn’t disbelieve our relationship,” he apologized with a tone that sounded like he blamed himself for using her feelings to trap her in this situation. Now, it has become worse than before.

She looked at him with a cold smile. Even though Leon knows that he’s wrong, he is not remorseful at all! Through his eyes, she could tell what he had been thinking. In the past, she would never doubt him. It was only until now that she understood how trust could simply disintegrate in a second.

“Since you chose not to trust me from the beginning, you don’t have to do that right now.” Heather’s cold tone made Leon rather uncomfortable. This time around, he knew he was in hot soup.

“I can’t even stand staying with you for another second. Don’t stop me now. You will only make me hate you even more.” Now that she made herself clear, he did not dare to stop her anymore. Instead, he merely smiled at her helplessly.

As he saw Heather leaving the room, the usually playful Leon finally understood something—there are some things in life that ought to be taken seriously. Now that he chose another method, he only understood that he encountered a life crisis in that instant.

Heather has left. Perhaps she won’t even appear at the family party the day after tomorrow. Leon had learned how to lie since young and he had done so numerous times once he was a grown up to the point that he could have almost fooled himself.

A huge price would be needed to be paid for telling lies. In the past, he did not know about that, but he finally understood the impact now. He had no idea what he should do next, so he only gave a bitter smile.

After leaving his mansion, Heather felt that she was a failure. What a terrible life! I felt as though I’ve sunken into an even deeper mud as time goes by.

Life is such a weird circle. I betrayed my closest friend and now Leon has lied to me. At this moment, it was the first time she felt so helpless.

However, she could not tell Matthias about this because there were many plans she had that would hurt him. Yesterday night was her final time depending on him. She knew that she had no right to care about her own romance at this moment. All she could do was to protect the Langston Family, yet she forgot to protect herself.

As the car sped away on the highway, Heather seemed as though she was having a race with herself. With the wind blowing next to her ears, her mind seemed to buzz. She did not want to return to the Langston Family, but she did not want to go anywhere else at all.

However, in the midst of her panic, the ringleader called again, which caused her spirit to sink to its lowest point. As the ringleader voice rang from the phone dominantly, the wind outside the car lowered her listening skills. She merely listened to him in a daze.

“I will do as you say,” she replied in a docile manner as she suppressed the urge within her, even though she did not clearly hear him.

She vaguely understood that he had requested her to look for Tony at the Hart Group today. For the past few days, as the ringleader had not revealed himself, she initially thought that the matter could be delayed for a few more days, so she had to grit her teeth and face it.
