Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 610

Each question was more pointed than the previous. Matthias didn’t want to let her go, and he clearly still had some slight resentment in his heart.

“Yes.” Heather didn’t want to continue being stubborn with him. In fact, she didn’t just miss him a little bit—she missed him very much.

Matthias rejoiced in secret, for he never expected this to go so smoothly. After all, it wasn’t easy for Heather to speak so honestly.

“Do you have any more questions? Why don’t you ask them all at once?” she asked calmly.

Just then, he remained silent for a while before he simply said, “I miss you a lot, and I really want to see you.”

Heather’s heart fluttered. When it came to their relationship, Matthias had to take more initiative. There were many things she wouldn’t say, whereas he would express his own feelings strongly.

When he didn’t get a response from her, he looked at his phone and thought that she was probably feeling shy. He then comforted himself, When in a relationship, one would become cheesy indeed.

“You should get some sleep.” She didn’t know what to say to him, so she could only respond in such a way.

“Okay.” He had heard many things that she wouldn’t normally say, and he was more than satisfied. Although it wasn’t enough, he couldn’t be too greedy.

He had a lot of time, so there was no need to rush this moment. One day, they would break through the barriers and finally be together—he was sure of this.

After hanging up, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Matthias had gotten the answer he wanted; since she didn’t hate him because of that incident and had become more gentle toward him instead, it couldn’t have gone any better.

Meanwhile, this phone call made Heather understand one thing—all her worries from before were unnecessary. Matthias still liked her, and he wasn’t displeased because of that incident. It was good news.

At the same time, both of them were afraid that the other would hate them. This was how relationships were; nobody felt secured, and even their self-confidence would eat away little by little.

Needless to say, love was beautiful and tormenting at the same time. Since ancient times, everyone was emotionally swayed because of love. Not even the greatest man could avoid it, let alone a simple man and woman.

Since she couldn’t sleep, she gazed out of the window. It was a secluded area, and it was located some distance away from the city. There weren’t any lights outside, and it was filled with silence. Everyone had already gone to sleep by this hour, but she was the only one still wide awake.

Three more days, she thought to herself. In three days, she would appear in the public eye again. Moreover, she knew there were many eyes watching her. She enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight when she was younger, but her preference for privacy had grown over the years.

She feared doing the wrong thing back then, but she had already grown out of it now. After all, humans were prone to make mistakes, and she deeply regretted her actions whenever she made one. When she was younger, she would always try to cover up her wrongdoings—just like the incident with Myra. If she hadn’t been so selfish, she wondered what would have happened then.

Nonetheless, mistakes had been made. She decided that the first thing she would do when she returned to Bradfort City was to go and apologize to Myra. No matter what, she had to apologize to her friend.

While she was in Iceland, she never once forgot about it. Not only did she intend on apologizing to Myra, she wanted to confess some things as well, including her complicated feelings for Matthias.

After all, Myra had the right to know about these things. Heather made up her mind that this was also a kind of recognition of Matthias. No matter what happened after that, she hoped to try once more.

She had met the perfect match for her back then, but unfortunately, she didn’t make any effort and easily gave up on the relationship that never got the chance to blossom. This time, she didn’t want to be so cowardly any longer.

After going through so much, she realized that she was afraid of her feelings because of her family. She didn’t believe in love, nor did she believe in herself.

If this went on, she might really end up being alone for the rest of her life. Instead, she was going to pluck up the courage this time. After making such a difficult decision, she was determined and wanted to only go forward no matter what the result was with no regrets.

She couldn’t sit alone until dawn while she was awake, so she thought of Leon, who was like a little brother to her. These few years, Heather had asked for more than she could give him. In the future, she was going to cherish the relationship between them more. Now, she treated him like family.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded. Leon, who was typing away on his keyboard, reluctantly walked toward the door and pulled it open. He hated being interrupted when he was working, even if the person was Heather.

“Am I bothering you?” Heather beamed. She was always smiling as of late, knowing full well that Leon couldn’t resist her smile.

“Not at all,” he said in a resigned manner. He was angry just a moment ago, but now, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Nonetheless, it must be something important since Heather had come over in the middle of the night.

“Leon, I’m surprised that you don’t have any wine here.” She was still smiling, and it made him feel helpless. She is so cute in such an annoying way.

“I just moved in, and I haven’t got the chance to buy any wine yet,” he explained.

“I want to drink,” she said bluntly. She was in a good mood, and it would be even better if she could have a few drinks.

“Where are you going to get alcohol at this hour?” He looked at her with annoyance written on his face. She was giving him more problems again.
