Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 498

He hadn’t expected Heather to make such a move at all, and Matthias bumped into her vehicle head-on since it was too late for him to dodge her car. As he muttered an expletive under his breath, he immediately flung his arms over his head while his car shook violently.

Perhaps no woman could be crazier than Heather. She staggered out of her car after the crash, and Matthias also got out of his car soon after that.

Then, Heather stopped moving and fixed her unexpressive eyes that showed no sadness or joy on Matthias. Meanwhile, Matthias suppressed his anger and approached Heather step by step. He didn’t expect that Heather would actually do such a dangerous thing as to crash her car into his. “Are you insane, Heather?” he scolded loudly. Heather was simply courting death, for even Matthias didn’t have the nerve to do such a thing.

However, Heather merely stared at Matthias without any response until he got close to her. Matthias could no longer conceal the anger on his face as he grabbed her, but she didn’t even look at him, and her tone of voice was extremely chilly. “Don’t touch me. I’ll pay you for the car.” She had no warmth about her.

Matthias let go of Heather, but he had to constantly remind himself of the purpose for coming to her. “You don’t have to pay me; if you want to pay me for the car, just give yourself up to me as compensation.” As he spoke, he kept a slight distance away from her. He mustn’t risk big losses for the sake of small gains. At any rate, neither of them suffered any injuries in this time’s car crash.

Unfortunately, Matthias’s car was completely wrecked in the crash. The car was his favorite, yet this was already the second time Heather had bumped her car against it. The last car crash only resulted in a scrape, whereas the damage done to his car this time seemed quite serious.

“I’m begging you—please don’t follow me around anymore. I have many matters to attend to right now, so I don’t have any time to waste on you.” Heather was really tired of getting along with Matthias in such a way. Nothing good would happen whenever she was with him, for he brought her lots of trouble.

“What do you want to do? I’ll keep you company.” Matthias tightened the screws on Heather. He decided to put on a brazen front this time, for he had to persuade her no matter what.

I want you to stay away from me, Heather thought to herself. Could this be Matthias’s retaliation? She grew increasingly wary at the sight of his ‘malicious-looking’ face.

“Please give me a chance.” Matthias was pondering in his mind, thinking about how he should profess his love to her. The thought of professing his love made him blush, for he no longer had the motivation he once had when he was younger.

A nameless atmosphere filled the air between them as Heather didn’t know what Matthias meant by the word ‘chance.’ Just then, they heard the wailing of police sirens. Since they did not know who had ‘kindheartedly’ called the police for them, they looked at each other in dismay. Now, they were in trouble by attracting the police.

As she looked at the scene before her eyes, Heather wondered how to explain this situation to the police. Just as she was looking around for any surveillance cameras, Matthias leaned over and said to her, “There aren’t any surveillance cameras.”

“I don’t have time to go to the police station right now.” Heather looked at Matthias frostily. She didn’t know whether she was teaching Matthias a lesson or giving herself a hard time, for even the police had been alerted this time.

“It’s not a problem.” Surprisingly, Matthias was unusually good-tempered that day. Heather thought he was going to blow his top, so it surprised her that he didn’t seem angry at all. When the police car pulled over, Matthias stepped up and explained as if he was an outsider, “I’m sorry, but a car accident just happened.”

The police officer glanced at the two cars. Both cars were luxury vehicles, so the two people before him seemed to be rich. Furthermore, there were no signs of distress on their faces. He wondered who these two people were, though he surmised that they must be remarkably wealthy. “Which one of them is yours?” he asked Matthias as a matter of routine. It was a car accident, after all.

Matthias pointed to his car and answered, “That’s my car. I’m the one responsible for the accident, and I’m willing to take full responsibility for that.” Since Heather didn’t want to waste any time, he would settle this matter as soon as possible.

The police officer was baffled by this as he looked at Matthias with a frown. Is there anyone responsible for an accident who will take the blame so readily? Furthermore, the atmosphere was very weird since Heather was merely standing off to the side silently.

The police officer didn’t come to his senses for a long while. Just then, he heard Heather rebut, “I’m the one responsible for the accident, and I’m willing to take full responsibility for that.” She didn’t want Matthias to cover for her since she was willing to admit her own wrongdoings.

The police officer’s face seemed to have several question marks popping up on it. This accident was becoming increasingly weird; it was so strange that these two people were scrambling to take the blame for the car accident and talked so big as to offer to take full responsibility. “This is a surveillance blind spot. Which of you is responsible for the accident?” The police officer felt that he was being fooled. Do these two rich people have too much free time on their hands?!

“It’s me,” Heather and Matthias chorused.

Heather felt that Matthias was deliberately messing with her. She was the one who purposely rammed her car into his, yet he scrambled to claim responsibility for the car accident. Clearly, he was wasting her time in a different way.

“Please come with me to the police station, both of you,” ordered the police officer as he was put on the spot. It seemed that the matter wasn’t going to be solved for a while, so he’d better take them to the police station to have their statements recorded!

“I don’t have time to go to the police station. I have something urgent to attend to.” Heather had contacted Leon and asked him to drive over to pick her up. She had provided him with all the necessary equipment, so he would probably arrive in a minute.

Matthias thought for a moment before he agreed, “That’s right. I don’t have time to go to the police station either; I also have something urgent to attend to.”
