Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 617

Despite his bantering suggestion, Matthias didn’t think Heather would be willing to let him visit the Langston Residence. He wasn’t hopeful about this, but he had a little bit of anticipation deep down inside after the string of surprises today.

As she stirred the coffee with a spoon in her hand, Heather looked at Matthias while exuding an alluring charm. They looked at each other, but Matthias couldn’t fathom the message in her eyes for a moment.

“Do you like to hide from the snow at the Langston Residence?” Heather’s eyes flickered as an unspeakably seductive charm emanated from her.

“In that case, why don’t we go to my place instead?” Matthias asked suggestively in return. In any case, he just wanted to be with Heather, but he didn’t know whether she understood what he meant.

Heather stopped what she was doing. “I’m not interested.”

Her resolute reply extinguished all Matthias’s fantasies. It seemed that Heather was still who she was, so Matthias shouldn’t cherish any fanciful ideas. However, just when he felt disheartened, she suddenly said, “I like the night view from your villa’s rooftop.” She recalled the previous candlelight dinner as if it had just happened yesterday. Time really flew in a rush, and many things had become history.

They tacitly spoke implicitly and conveyed—by implication—what they really thought. “Well then, may I have the pleasure of inviting you to enjoy the night view from my villa’s rooftop tonight?” Matthias asked.

“I’d like to watch Evan dance.” Heather made a request.

Matthias looked in her direction while feeling rather depressed. It really made people feel helpless that Heather would actually make such a request.

“If he can’t, why don’t you do it instead?” Heather suggested while trying to imagine the scene in her mind, though she truly couldn’t imagine it.

Matthias waved his hand at once. He was bad at dancing, so it would be better to sacrifice Evan instead. Having made a deliberate choice, he hurriedly sent Evan a text message via Messenger while Heather wasn’t paying attention. ‘Is it okay if you dance?’ At this moment, there was nothing that he couldn’t betray.

Evan looked at the text message in bafflement. What is Matthias up to again? How should I reply to this message? It wasn’t difficult for him to dance, but he couldn’t give Matthias a perfunctory reply since the latter had thrown him the question in all seriousness.

Meanwhile, Matthias gave Heather a nod after getting an affirmative answer from Evan. “Evan is a superb dancer.”

When Heather heard this, she knew right away that Matthias was exaggerating. She didn’t believe his words, but she didn’t care about the details since she was only looking for an excuse to go to Matthias’ place. She couldn’t refuse such a kind invitation from him, but the trip would be worthwhile since she could watch Evan dance later.

A trace of a smile played on Heather’s lips. Matthias really used every trick in the book in order to please her, and he would even probably say yes without hesitation if Heather wanted to watch him dance instead. “How long have you bought the entire place out?” she asked him.

“For the entire afternoon.” The corners of Matthias’s lips turned up slightly. He didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone when he was with Heather. In fact, he even wished that they were the only ones left in the entire world.

“Would you mind ending this boring buyout ahead of time?” Heather asked.

Her question was tactful, but Matthias recognized the deeper meaning behind it. This was exactly what he wished for; he couldn’t wait to take Heather back to his villa as soon as possible. He gave her a meaningful stare; how could he not feel more than flattered when she repeatedly held out olive branches today?

After leaving the cafe, Heather didn’t walk toward her car. Instead, she got straight into Matthias’ car.

Heather had been cozying up to Matthias the whole time, and such a test was nearly more than his heart could withstand. He almost wondered if this was a dream, for Heather appeared so unreal beside him. He reached out and touched her cheek, and she didn’t dodge his sudden intimate gesture this time. She could even feel the warmth of his fingers.

Heather’s skin is still so fine and smooth. I wonder how she takes such good care of it, Matthias thought to himself as he retracted his hand. He unconsciously touched his face, and it was so different from Heather’s. After all, a man’s skin could never be as fine and smooth as a woman’s. Besides, how could Matthias’s skin be as supple as Heather’s when his entire face was tight?

The pair was in perfect harmony along the way. Heather looked out the car window from time to time, whereas Matthias kept quiet with tacit understanding. It seemed that both of them hadn’t recollected themselves after the light touch just now. When Heather glanced at Matthias occasionally, there was a look of tenderness in his eyes.
