Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 603

Matthias was worried that Heather would suffer frostbite, so he had no choice but to chase after her. However, Heather walked so fast she had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When she turned around, she saw Matthias following her from a distance. Her eyes met with Matthias’, and she wore an inexplicable expression.

“Why did you follow me?” Heather just wanted to have some time alone. She didn’t expect Matthias to tag along, so she was a little frustrated.

“Why are you angry all of a sudden?” Matthias was distressed. He actually wanted to retort but he ended up biting his tongue.

“I’m not angry. I just came out to watch the snow,” Heather said indifferently.

“You’re wearing so little and it’s so cold out here. Don’t stay outside too long or you might get frostbite.” Matthias grasped Heather’s hand, wanting to bring her back to the car.

“Just let me take a walk and get some fresh air.” It was suffocating in the car, and Heather really needed some space.

“Are you still worried about what’s happening back in Solaria?” Recently, Heather had rarely brought up the matters in Solaria, but Matthias could feel that something was bothering her.

“Stop asking me about these matters.” Heather was already vexed enough, yet Matthias kept reminding her of the issues. This made her very annoyed.

“What exactly is going on in your mind?” To be frank, Matthias was troubled too because he couldn’t figure out Heather’s thoughts at all, yet Heather was keeping everything from him.

“I don’t want to argue with you in the snow. Just leave me alone, will you?” At this point, Heather suddenly regretted asking Matthias to come along to Iceland because she couldn’t be at peace at all with his presence. She would be reminded of Myra whenever she saw him. Every day was new yet stressful for Heather because too many things were weighing her down, and she felt as if she was about to break down sooner or later.

“If the matters back in Solaria really are troubling you, let’s just go back,” Matthias suggested. He, too, was worried that Heather would have an emotional breakdown.

“If we leave now, wouldn’t all our efforts go to waste? We haven’t even caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights yet.” Heather wanted to use this agenda to distract herself. The goal she had initially set for herself was to see the Northern Lights. Since she had yet to achieve her goal, naturally she wouldn’t want to leave just yet.

“We’ll only get to see the Northern Lights if we’re lucky. If we don’t get to see it during this winter, are you planning to stay here forever?” Matthias’ tone turned stern as he was very determined to bring Heather back to Solaria.

After realizing Matthias’ intention, Heather put on a gloomy and scary smile.

“So you’re asking me to obey your command then?” Originally, Heather wanted to avoid picking a fight with Matthias, but he wouldn’t stop pushing her buttons. Technically, Matthias brought this upon himself. Right now, Heather wished Matthias could just disappear.

“Stop running away. I’ll always stay by your side and face everything with you. Go back with me, alright?” Matthias tried to convince Heather so that she would muster some courage to face reality.

“Why do you want to keep influencing me?” Heather stared at Matthias. This time, she felt that he had over-interfered in her life.

“Don’t cross the line, Heather.” Despite Matthias’ good temper, he couldn’t stand Heather’s derision.

“I just need some time alone. If you miss home so much, just go.” Heather didn’t want to stay with Matthias anymore. At this moment, she just wanted to be alone. She would be less frustrated without seeing anyone else, especially Matthias.

“Sure,” Matthias replied firmly. Today, both of them were rather touchy, and for once, Matthias didn’t want to please Heather in a servile manner.

Heather was relieved after hearing Matthias’ reply as she thought this outcome was favorable too—no more quarrels.

For some reason, Matthias was dejected to see Heather’s relieved look. Looks like she really doesn’t want me around. He couldn’t help but feel like the past few days were a joke, mocking coldly at Matthias.

“So it seems like you were actually done with me long ago,” Matthias croaked heartbrokenly as he couldn’t reconcile with himself seeing Heather’s expression.

Snowflakes fell on their hair and body, but Matthias couldn’t feel a tinge of coldness at all, for he was completely dispirited. This nasty weather actually matches my current feelings. Matthias smiled ruefully. Nevertheless, he shouldn’t let himself dwell in this pathetic state of mind any longer.
