Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 586

Heather didn’t want to continue arguing, nor did she want to bother with him anymore. Just now, her mind must have been so muddled for her to say she missed him.

Why do men always fail to understand what women say? Heather felt like she was on a different bandwidth with Matthias. It wasn’t easy for her to start feeling sentimental, yet Matthias’ behavior was completely different from what she had imagined.

Having gotten no response from Heather, Matthias looked at his phone in distress. She was actually ignoring him.

This was something Matthias strongly disliked, because it showed that Heather truly didn’t care about him.

Matthias hurriedly dialed her number, but after several rings, she still didn’t pick up.

At such times, he would usually accept his fate and stop calling, as Heather wouldn’t answer his calls anyway. However, he had gotten the wrong idea this time. He figured that she was just waiting for his call, hoping that he would be more persistent, and only then would she pick up.

Men who had no experience with relationships tended to lose points on the details. Occasionally, he would envy Tony’s thoughtfulness toward Myra.

Since she was no longer waiting, she left her phone in the room as she needed to go out to take a breather.

When she opened the door, she unexpectedly saw Everly right outside the door. Looking her up and down, Heather was unsure about what Everly wanted.

Noticing the embarrassment on Everly’s face, Heather decided to speak first, so as to avoid Everly feeling awkward from not knowing what to say.

“Are you looking for me?” Heather pointed at Everly, then at herself.

It seemed like it had been a long time since Everly took the initiative to look for Heather. Heather found it a little strange, and she was even at a slight loss for what to do. Her intuition was making her uneasy.

“Heather, are you free now?” Her tone caught Heather by surprise. Looking at how troubled Everly was, Heather didn’t quite know how to respond.

“W-What’s the matter?” Heather wasn’t used to this. She was rather disgusted with herself for feeling so uncomfortable with being close to her family.

Everly didn’t even dare to lift her head. She tugged restlessly at the corners of her clothes, looking like a child.

“If you’re not free, then forget it.” The courage that Everly had tried so hard to summon fell apart at once.

After Everly said that, she planned to turn around and leave, but Heather stopped her. Her back stiffened while she exuded a sense of stubbornness.

“Let’s go talk in the room.” Heather tried to be gentle, feeling a little sorry to see how uneasy and insecure Everly looked.

“Thank you, Heather.” Everly turned around, smiling brightly. The little girl was so simple-minded. She got nervous and frustrated because of a certain remark, but a kind remark made her instantly happy.

When did Everly become so cute? It seemed like Heather had had too little contact with her, which was why she had no idea what kind of girl Everly was.

After entering the room, Everly carefully closed the door. She didn’t even dare to close it with too much force—it was as if she was entering the room of someone more superior.

Sometimes, Heather wondered if she was so harsh that she caused her family to behave like they were her subordinates who were afraid to even look up and meet her gaze.

“Don’t say thank you so randomly in the future. I’m your cousin, so you don’t need to thank me for letting you enter my room.” Heather spoke in a gentle tone and was looking at Everly with a warm gaze.

Everly then asked a childish question. “Heather, are you omnipotent?”

Heather chuckled. Looking at Everly’s huge, charming eyes, Heather reckoned that she was still a child.

“Of course I’m not omnipotent.” Heather denied. “No one in this world is omnipotent.”

Everly was lost in thought because of Heather’s answer. She was actually seriously contemplating this issue.

Heather then asked Everly to sit down as she wondered if her cousin had encountered something troubling.

“Did you encounter some problems? If you think I can help you, you can tell me.” Heather took a guess and asked because Everly was acting strange. If she could help Everly, Heather would never refuse.

Everly nodded, then immediately shook her head. “No, Heather. I just can’t understand it.”

“Huh?” Heather was extremely curious. What is it that Everly can’t understand? The corners of her lips were curled up slightly, and she fixed Everly with a gaze that was usually used by an elder when looking at a junior.

“How can I be an outstanding and successful career woman?” Heather didn’t expect that this would be Everly’s question. She raised her eyebrows a little, feeling a little baffled by this question.
