Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 512

After walking out of the study, Robert asked Heather to do something that she enjoyed. She thought about the date with Matthias and wanted to seek an answer from Robert’s eyes, but she could only see exhaustion, so she left him alone.

She had no idea what came to her in the morning until she canceled her date with Matthias. If she could turn back time, she should have merely postponed it. Feeling troubled, she opened her Messenger and clicked on his chat bubble even though she had no idea how to explain it to him.

‘Do you have time to meet me now?’

She quickly finished typing a simple reply, but she did not send it out.

After thinking about it, Heather deleted the message, thinking that it was perhaps not that appropriate to be so direct with him. Looking at the message she sent in the morning, she did not feel too happy about it.

‘It’s the Lantern Festival today and I have some family business to attend to. Why don’t we meet another day?’

She slightly regretted her decision to send the message. Why did I ask him to reschedule to another day? I can make it for the date, but everything is in a mess now.

Apart from that, Heather still had not received a reply from him up until now. It made her feel even more uncomfortable because she had been so worried about Caleb’s arrival that she forgot to take note of that.

Judging from his character, Matthias would not ignore her message. Since he still had not replied to her message, she was afraid that he could be furious with her.

However, she had no idea that he immediately drove to the Langston Residence because of his disappointment. Yet, he was shamelessly turned down. When he returned to his place and saw the message again, he felt even more furious and deleted his previous chat history with Heather to avoid being troubled by it.

While Heather was still hesitating, Matthias felt resentful as he thought about the possibility of continuing to like her. Evan kept reassuring him, but Matthias did not cheer up whatsoever as if what he experienced was a great blow.

“Why don’t you try sending her a message? Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding.” Upon hearing what Matthias experienced at the Langston Residence, Evan advised as such. After all, he had no idea why Matthias was so resentful about it.

“It can’t be a misunderstanding. It’s just like what you told me earlier—women are unpredictable. She was just trying to calm me down yesterday, but she has no intention to meet me in person,” Matthias confidently predicted. This time around, he looked like he was about to throw in the towel.

“You just have to keep trying. You can’t give up at this point.” Upon seeing Matthias’ fury, Evan gave some words of encouragement for the fear that Matthias would do something rash.

“Perhaps it was a mistake to court Heather.” As he soaked his entire body in the spa, he held a wine glass in his hands and gulped its entire contents.

“You must believe in your own judgement. It’s a difficult thing to court a girl and such problems are to be expected.” Evan started to give positive advice again. To him, it was not a big deal, but the incident had started to hurt Matthias’ pride.

“She directly knocked her car into mine yesterday, so her hatred toward me must have reached the peak. I don’t think it’s possible for us to continue anymore.” Matthias insisted on his thoughts. Once he recalled that incident, he felt the pain stabbing in his heart. Just how much does she hate me, seeing her attempt to kill both of us together?

At that, Evan had no idea how to continue to motivate him anymore. Indeed, even Evan did not expect that Heather would do such a thing.

He had not met such a ‘passionate’ woman who would risk her own life to reject her admirers. However, there could be a problem with the way Matthias had conveyed his feelings.

“What exactly happened last night? No matter how much she dislikes you, I don’t think it would reach the extent of running her car into yours. She’s going to risk her life to reject you?” Evan asked rather gleefully. As soon as he imagined that situation, he could not hold back from laughing out loud. After all, it was quite a vivid imagination and the situation was rather comical as well.

Matthias clenched the wine glass in his hands with a savage expression on his face. Evan had indeed triggered him this time around.

Hence, Evan quickly stopped smiling and changed his tone to a more serious one. “I think your perception might be too rigid. Before you could even confess your feelings to her, she has already knocked into your car, so it can’t be considered as her rejecting you.” This explanation seemed pretty logical and he thought his deduction made sense.

However, Matthias shot Evan a glare. The more Evan spoke, the more it seemed peculiar. “What you mean to say is that she already wants to knock me down before I can even confess my feelings to her. If I really confess to her, will she run me over with a tanker instead?”

Matthias’ sudden question immediately made Evan break into fits of laughter. Is this one of his cold jokes? As Matthias’ words had painted a vivid imagery, Evan could not help but laugh out loud as he imagined Heather running him over in a tanker.

Matthias was so angry that he threw his wine glass at Evan. “What’s so funny about it?” Accompanying his words was the sound of glass breaking into pieces.

Even though it did not hurt Evan, his laughter immediately froze. If I continue to laugh, Matthias might go berserk and even slice me apart with his knife.

“Calm down. I promise I will be serious this time,” he said defeatedly as he was worried that Matthias would throw the wine bottle at him next.

“Miss Langston said that she is going to postpone the date to another time. That shows that you still have a chance. Perhaps something cropped up at the Langston Family today. Didn’t you think about this?” In Evan’s opinion, Matthias had already lost his cool. Not only was he irritable and violent, his thoughts were quite illogical as well.
