Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 507

As Leon chatted with her, Heather fell asleep. He called her a few times, but she didn’t answer. Nonetheless, he couldn’t bring himself to end the video call as he watched her sleeping visage. He even put aside his mobile game, opting to watch Heather instead.

Now that he thought about it, it was a nice thing to be able to just go nuts with Heather; the corners of Leon’s lips soon lifted into a wide smile. In truth, Leon had been the crazier one during their conversation. There was a thin line between genius and insanity, after all.

Leon placed his tablet to the side and watched Heather sleep like that. She was deep in slumber, and it seemed like the woman had gone through a lot today for an absolutely spirited woman.

“It looks like the days were torture on you,” Leon said to the sleeping Heather.

Leon had already decided to completely leave Heather behind him, for her conflict with Matthias actually made Leon jealous. After all, Matthias was someone who could make Heather crash her car into him. He also understood that Matthias would always be someone special to Heather.

Leon glanced at the time; when he realized that it was midnight, he ended the video call then. The day had gone by, and both of them were still just friends.

When he saw Matthias, Leon realized that Heather would never be his. Leon prized his friendship with Heather over being in a romantic relationship with her. In truth, when one was friends with someone, the less they’d think about wanting to date them.

In the end, he would just allow himself this last chance to be greedy. Leon had never been this much of a coward around a woman; he mocked himself for it many times, but things were the way they were now. Even if their current relationship was a bit rocky now, Heather’s true love had finally made his appearance at the very least.

Still, Leon had the feeling that Heather and Matthias were the best match for each other; he believed that they would get together in the end. Heather had rammed her car into Matthias, but he was still willing to help her out by lying right to the police. Since Matthias was willing to take responsibility for everything, what else could it be other than love?

Matthias already showed his feelings for Heather, yet she still wasn’t aware of it—she just thought that something was wrong with Matthias’ head. It seemed that melting the ice princess that was Heather was just a matter of time.

“I’m kind of salty. After all, I’m much better-looking than Matthias,” Leon said in a moment of narcissism. As he said that, he watched Heather through the video call.

Soon, it was nearly 1.00AM. Leon ended the video call, but he still wasn’t satisfied. He then said to himself, “I’ve got to go to bed early so that I can get up early. There’s still plenty of fish in the sea after I’ve given up on her.”

He had given up on Heather today; tomorrow, Leon could peacefully go out on the streets to search for his next target—after all, Asian girls were tiny and adorable. As he thought more about it, he felt that tomorrow was still going to be a good day.

The next morning, Heather woke up to a barrage of messages from Matthias. She opened her messaging app with bleary eyes. When did Matthias become this childish? He even sent her a bunch of GIFs.

Heather had the urge to smack Matthias. Feeling displeased, she typed three words in response.

‘You are annoying.’

When did Matthias become a clinging limpet that she couldn’t shake off?

Matthias was pleased to read Heather’s reply—at the very least, she had texted him back. He had been messaging her rather happily yesterday, but after Regan interrupted him, Heather had ignored him since.

Matthias sent a generic greeting which read, ‘Happy Thanksgiving.’

Heather had no concept of Thanksgiving. She never celebrated it when she was abroad, so why did people keep wishing her that since yesterday?

‘Don’t pester me.’ Since she had just gotten up, Heather was not equipped to answer Matthias properly.

Matthias glanced at Evan with a hurt look. Evan was the one who told him to stubbornly pursue her with all he got, so why was nothing working on Heather?

Evan was baffled from Matthias’ stare, and he stared back at him uncomprehendingly. Right then, he suddenly thought that it was probably because of Heather. Lately, all Matthias had in his mind was that woman; even Lara noticed it, so Evan got the same thought immediately.

“Be thick-skinned and stubbornly cling to her?” Matthias said, a depressed look on his face. Evan’s heart trembled at that. Had he known things would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have suggested Matthias to do that.

“I realize that Heather hates me more now,” Matthias announced mournfully. The more he clung to Heather, the further she ran from him.

“You’ve got to do it in moderation.” Once again, Evan was back to being a saintly figure as he dispensed advice for matters of the heart. Meanwhile, Matthias was completely under the control of his emotions.

“I must lay out everything to her clearly today.” When the thought of meeting Heather soon came to him, the depression within Matthias washed away completely.

“I think you can tell her everything in a roundabout way,” Evan suggested.

Matthias didn’t believe Evan’s words right now, so Evan’s suggestion was completely of no use at all. On the contrary, it made Evan look worse to him.

“I should tell her everything as it is.” Matthias intended to follow his own thoughts.

Meanwhile, Evan felt that Matthias and Heather weren’t on the same page. Back when Heather was interested in Matthias, he hadn’t reciprocated her feelings. Now that Matthias had gotten an epiphany for some reason or other and intended to pursue Heather, she probably no longer had the same feelings she used to have for him.

Evan had no idea how to tell Matthias all that. Back then, he had advised Matthias not to be harsh on Heather. Who would have expected Matthias to get that idea in his head and say all those cruel things to her? Needless to say, it was probably going to be a bit dangerous to win back Heather’s favor.

“Why don’t you give Miss Langston a reminder?” Evan was worried that Heather would not come today. The day before, Matthias had forced Heather into agreeing through underhanded means, so he had no idea whether Heather would actually come.

Matthias thought about it for a moment before he answered in a self-assured manner, “Heather has already promised me, so she will definitely come.” He still trusted that part of her.
