Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 463

On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.

Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.

In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.

She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.

Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, he needed to formally apologize to Heather.

When he showed up in front of Heather again, shock flashed across her face, but she soon composed herself and ignored him. Just when she planned to walk past him, he called out to her.

At that moment, she understood that they did not run into each other; he had planned to show up. Frowning, she tried her best to maintain a neutral expression as she turned around to look at him.

“Can I interrupt your lunch break?” His tone still sounded a little harsh and authoritative, causing her to frown even deeper. Why does this sound all too familiar?

“No.” She immediately turned around to leave. I’d have to be a fool to keep trusting him!

Every time she took out some time to engage with him, it always ended badly. Why would she repeat the same mistakes?

Looking at Heather’s determined movement, he swiftly ran after her. She might have turned him down, but he did not plan to give up just yet. It didn’t bother him because, knowing her, she never agreed readily to any of his requests. She stared coolly at him, who was now walking beside her. What have I done to deserve this? Why is he clinging to me again?

“I am offering a sincere apology to you this time,” he addressed her while walking closely beside her.

This was not the time she heard that remark from him, and she stayed silent. Oblivious to her irritation, he followed her closely and ruined her mood. Did he not realize that he’s a pain in the neck?

“I accept your apology. You may leave now.” Reluctant to confront him, she decided to play along in the hope that he’d leave.

“Why don’t we have a meal together? Think of it as my apology.” He tried his luck with her again. Now that she had budged a little, he was unwilling to leave just yet. He wanted more time with her.

She cast a tired look at him. So far, she had not felt his sincerity, and she wondered if he was truly here to apologize or only to force her into having a meal with him.

“It’s fine,” she turned him down without hesitation.

Unfortunately, he was steadfast and firm. He followed her around, and she could not think of a way to shake him off.

In the silence, she realized that she had no way to deal with him. At first, she wanted to go for lunch, but his presence ruined her appetite. Once she went past her limits, she exploded as she glared at him. “Could you please stop following me around?”

She hated his annoying behavior that was forcing her into a corner. To her dismay, he looked totally unaware of his loathsome actions.

After a few attempts to shake him off, she gave up on the idea of getting her car from the underground car park and driving away. No matter what, she could not get him to leave her alone. Her words did not seem to affect him because he looked chill and stubborn. Not only that, he did not reply to her at all, which angered her.

“Say something, please! Are you a mute?” she demanded an answer in a mean way. His behavior was despicable; she had never come across a man like him who did not have basic manners.

“I am honestly here to offer you a sincere apology,” he said again with an earnest look. Most of the time, he was only attuned to his own feelings and blind to Heather’s emotions.

That was why her impression of him gradually went downhill. Truthfully, he did not have any malicious intentions, and his irritating behavior could only be explained by his poor understanding of women. He never knew how to interact properly with the opposite sex.

“I accepted your apology, so please don’t follow me around. Okay?” She started pleading with him to leave, but he doggedly followed her. At that point, she lost all appetite for lunch.

He looked at her, totally oblivious to his annoying behavior. Suddenly, he came to a stop and glanced at her hesitantly, which puzzled her even more.

“Sure. Sorry for the interruption.” After that, he turned around and left instantly without another word.

When he was gone, she let out a long sigh. I can’t stand looking at him now! He’s causing a lot of distress for everyone around him!

In his car, he stared at his face in the rearview mirror indignantly. I offered her a sincere apology, didn’t I? How did I offend her again?

He felt deflated because he never got what he wanted from women. Instead, he met a series of rejections that caused him to question his relationship with the opposite sex.

It appears that women don’t like me much. In his memory, he could not think of the times he personally interacted with women in his life.
