Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 591

Refusing to discuss this matter any further, Heather only left it at that. In her eyes, seeing Matthias going all out trying to explain and change the topic only made it seem as if he was trying to cover something up, and Heather was definitely not in the mood to dig into it. Even though she didn’t say anything, she was worried about Leon’s safety. Although it didn’t seem like too big of a deal to Leon, and he had repeatedly emphasized he was safe, she wasn’t buying it.

“Do you have any idea how to find Leon?” Matthias could tell that Heather was worried about Leon, and to eliminate her worries, she must find Leon and see to it that he was safe with her own eyes.

“Leon is good at counter-reconnaissance. Since he can avoid the tracking of the other party, then we won’t be able to find him easily as well. It’ll be hard to look for his hideout.” Heather knew Leon well enough to know that it would be useless to track him down.

“You can’t find him doesn’t mean I can’t,” Matthias said mysteriously; it seemed that he already had an idea, which piqued Heather’s curiosity.

“What do you mean?” Heather asked. It seemed that she had indeed underestimated Matthias’ strength; the hidden power of the Locke family was indeed amazing.

“Give me two hours. I will give you an explanation as soon as possible,” Matthias uttered confidently. This time around, he had finally decided to utilize the power of his family. For Heather, Matthias was willing to do anything impulsively.

“Alright, then. I will trust you just this once. After finding Leon, you only need to tell me whether he is really safe. I don’t care about the rest.” Heather only wanted to confirm Leon’s safety—that was all.

“Aren’t you going to see him?” This was a bit unexpected for Matthias. He thought she would at least want to see Leon safe with her own eyes. Now that he heard what she said, it seemed that her cool-headedness remained after all.

“I know I will expose his location if I go to see him. I’m not that impulsive,” Heather replied casually. Life was not a drama where silly female leads could get out of whatever trouble they caused from being impulsive. Most of the time in real life, one must think before they act.

The two further discussed and decided to proceed with the plan. What Heather was more concerned about now was the skills and power that Matthias possessed. She was more than glad for him to demonstrate the strength of the Locke family in front of her.

Ultimately, the parts that even Leon couldn’t find out about the Lockes could only be discovered by Heather herself. Therefore, before they could find out about Leon’s safety, Heather planned to stay with Matthias every step of the way and watch him operate with her own eyes.

However, it was all Heather’s wishful thinking. Unforeseen issues always happened at the worst time possible; Myra finally replied to Heather on Messenger.

After receiving the notification, Heather stared at her Messenger interface for a long time—Myra asked her to meet at her house. Heather was troubled. Leon’s safety is uncertain, and now this with Myra? Everything happened altogether all of a sudden, and it was starting to become overwhelming to her.

What a pity, she thought. I wanted to witness how Matthias worked to find out the real power the Lockes hold in Bratfort city. But now, such a good opportunity might just slip through my fingers.

After weighing carefully, Heather agreed to meet with Myra, but she didn’t plan to tell Matthias that she would be meeting Myra, so she simply looked for another reason to get off.

As soon as she looked up, she immediately saw the coffee shop she visited frequently. “Stop at the coffee shop in front. I have an appointment with someone,” she told Matthias.

Hearing that, Matthias’ eyes were filled with doubts. She was clearly worried about Leon a while ago, so why would she make an appointment with someone? he thought. She knew that he would get suspicious, but she didn’t want to explain further because she knew that the more she explained, the more loopholes there’d be.

“Are you going to meet Myra?” At this point of time, Matthias knew she would turn down whatever appointment with anyone else except Myra.

“Please help me to continue the investigation, rectify the situation, and tell me all about it. Right now, I have business affairs to deal with, and I don’t want any delay.” Heather used her business affairs as an excuse.

As the two of them talked, the car drove to the front of the coffee shop, but Matthias had to confirm one last thing before he stopped the car.

“Can I go with you?” Obviously not buying Heather’s ‘business affairs’ excuse, he wanted to tag along with her.

“It’s about business. So it’s not so convenient for you to come.” Heather rejected Matthias right away, and the car stopped right then.

Seeing how Heather got out of the car calmly, Matthias already had an answer in his heart. Heather’s last answer exposed her—the usual her would’ve just rejected him without any explanation.

After Heather left the car, Matthias dialed a number on his phone, and when the person on the other line answered, he said, “I need you to check one more thing—who Heather Langston is meeting with later.”

After he ended the call, Matthias thought to himself, She was negligent this time. Since I can find out about Leon’s safety, there is nothing I can’t find out. Heather, you shouldn’t have lied to me this time.

In fact, apart from Myra, Matthias couldn’t think of anyone else that she would meet right now. Besides, Heather would definitely not mention anything about Myra in front of him.

Heather didn’t want Matthias to have any contact with Myra anymore. Even Tony was very sensitive about this. However, it seemed that they had all underestimated Myra’s endurance.

In other words, they deemed pregnant women as too fragile. Thinking of the phone call Myra gave him earlier, she had already noticed something, and it would be no good for anyone to keep it a secret.
