Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 619

Heather could hear their clothes fluttering in the wind. She tried hard to gaze far into the distance as she wanted to look into the nothingness.

However, Matthias blocked her view with his own body. “Why won’t you look at me?”

Heather withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Matthias’ face again. “When in your life did you feel most confused?”

Matthias curled his lips into a smile. “Right now,” he answered honestly. Like Heather, he wouldn’t have known there would be such feelings of loss in his life had he not been in an unforgettable relationship.

When Evan came with the fruit platter, Heather and Matthias were still in the same posture. They’re just bullying me since I’m still single, Evan thought to himself, and his resentment as a single person was instantly unleashed. “Do you need some fruit, sir?” His voice was neither too loud nor too low, but it interrupted Heather and Matthias.

Heather freed herself from Matthias embrace, upon which the latter turned to look at Evan with a depressed expression. Evan kept making trouble for him all this while simply because he had asked Evan to dance. This is what I get for offending my buddy, he thought to himself. “No, I don’t,” he said in a grim voice.

On the other hand, Heather looked on as if she was amusing herself by watching them make fools of themselves. She had never seen these two men bickering since the very beginning, but she saw it today. If Matthias and Evan knew this was what Heather thought, they would probably be fuming with rage.

Fearing that Matthias would want to choke him to death, Evan backed down under his stern gaze, but Heather stopped him. “I need the fruit.” Seeing that there were fruits that she wanted to eat on the plate, she naturally had to stop Evan from leaving.

Evan’s mouth curved in a triumphant smile. After that, he placed the fruit platter onto the round table on the rooftop and looked at Matthias with a smug expression. This proved that Evan was even more petty than women when he wanted to, and such vindictiveness troubled Matthias a lot.

Evan left unhurriedly after doing all of this, whereas Heather sat down in front of the round table. The round table could be dragged freely and seemed convenient to use, so it was just right to drink afternoon tea at the table. As he sat down from across Heather, Matthias looked at the sly smile on her face and wondered what was making her so happy.

Heather handed Matthias an orange that she had just peeled. “Do you eat oranges, Matty?”

Matthias didn’t like to eat oranges at all, though. However, Heather peeled the orange for him herself. Naturally, he couldn’t turn down her offer, so he immediately took the orange, which wasn’t whole, from her.

Meanwhile, Heather added, “Forgive me for stealing a few orange slices.”

Matthias couldn’t understand why Heather was so polite since he wouldn’t mind it if she sneaked the orange whole. He then put the orange into his mouth under her stare, only to frown slightly when he realized how sour the orange was. He tried hard not to lose control of himself. How could there be such a sour fruit in the world? he thought to himself. He was amused and annoyed as Heather gave him the orange simply because it tasted so sour. Looking at the smug smile on Heather’s face across from him, he felt really helpless. Since when did Heather become so mischievous?

Heather didn’t forget to rub salt into the wound by asking, “Is it delicious?”

“Yes, it is,” Matthias answered reluctantly.

Heather then produced another orange in her hand without Matthias noticing. This is bad, Matthias thought to himself as his pupils dilated slightly. As he had expected, she enthusiastically handed the orange to him. “It seems that you like to eat oranges. I’ll let you eat this as well.”

Feeling as though he had seen the smile of a demon, Matthias tried his best to control his emotions. If it were someone else who did this, he would probably have broken the person’s neck. However, it was Heather who did this, so he had no choice other than to indulge her.

There was a trace of hesitation in Matthias’ eyes when he took the orange from Heather. This time, he decided to stuff the entire orange in his mouth directly. If it weren’t for the fact that the orange was too large, he would have swallowed it whole. However, when he bit into the orange, he was surprised to discover that this orange was unusually sweet.

Matthias’s expression eased a lot, and Heather watched the changes in his expression with great interest. This is really interesting, she thought to himself. “Life is like these oranges. One would have no idea whether what happens next is sweet or not, and whether the road they take in the future is bumpy or smooth.”

“You’re cut out to be a philosopher,” Matthias said to Heather. Heather often exuded the air of an educator unknowingly, so he wondered if she wanted to be a teacher.
