Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 625

Robert rarely chased Heather out of his study directly, but he drove her out mercilessly this time because of Matthias. Heather thought to herself, I didn’t act unworthily of Matthias this time.

The butler was waiting outside the study, and Heather shot him a glance since he was the one who snitched on her. She glowered at him in displeasure, but she couldn’t place all the blame on him for this since he had always been loyal and devoted to Robert. In the end, she could only blame herself for failing to take notice last night.

When she switched on her cell phone again, Heather saw that Matthias had made several calls to her. However, she was in no mood to answer his phone calls right now.

Meanwhile, Matthias was busying himself in his office. After the conversation with Robert just now, he was having a profound self-examination. Right now, he couldn’t get through to Heather on her cell phone, and this distressed him terribly. What Robert had said was still fresh in his mind, and he realized that he was in the wrong. However, he just couldn’t understand why Robert had disconnected the call so abruptly.

Matthias wanted to call Heather and ask her why, but he never managed to get through to her. Furthermore, he heard over the phone that Heather’s cell phone had been switched off. He wondered if his remark had displeased Robert. He knew how important Robert was to Heather, so he naturally didn’t dare to slight Robert. If he wanted to win Heather’s heart, her grandfather was the first person whose favor he had to win. At the thought of this, he panicked even more. He didn’t know what attitude Heather would take if he had displeased the old man.

Matthias’ desk was piled high with documents. His productivity had been seriously affected these days, and now such a thing happened. He wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to the Langston Residence directly.

Meanwhile, Heather’s cell phone was finally silent for a while, only to beep again with a notification from her Messenger. She looked at the series of text messages on her device with a long face. It seems like Matthias will never let me off until I have a good talk with him, she thought to herself as she opened dozens of messages from him. However, she couldn’t expose Robert’s previous lies, so she could only go along with what Robert had told Matthias. ‘I’m awake, but I’m feeling a little unwell right now. Don’t text me.’

Matthias asked concernedly, ‘Are you unwell because you drank too much alcohol last night, Heather?’

How could Heather be in the mood to talk to Matthias at this moment? She replied briefly, ‘Nope.’ She didn’t want to continue the conversation since her head was also in a whirl right now.

Matthias could tell the perfunctoriness in Heather’s words. Everything was fine last night, so he should have received a lovey-dovey phone call in the morning if things progressed normally. Unfortunately, Heather was always a loose cannon. She was giving him the cold shoulder right now, and it made him wonder if he had really done something wrong.

When she saw that Matthias had gone silent, Heather worried that he might be reflecting on his mistakes again. Therefore, she sent him another message to reassure him. ‘Don’t think too much. I’m just feeling a bit out of sorts, but this has nothing to do with our drinking session last night. I need some quietness right now.’

Upon seeing Heather’s message, Matthias calmed down temporarily, but he couldn’t help feeling that there was a hint of reluctance in her words. However, just as Evan had said, he needed to give each other enough space. This was what he had been lacking in; he often placed great strain on his relationship with Heather, and it caused the both of them to feel suffocated. ‘Okay, have a good rest then.’ He stopped pushing her since such a problem couldn’t be solved any time soon. Moreover, he still had no idea what exactly had happened.

Upon seeing Matthias’s reply, Heather finally heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t sleep well in the first place and was told off by Robert early in the morning. Her head was throbbing, and she just wanted to lie in bed at this moment. When she was working hard outside, she would think about how blissful it was to go back to her room.

If it weren’t for the phone call at 10.00AM, she would have probably slept until that afternoon. She was surprised to see the caller ID displayed on her phone’s screen, for she didn’t expect Myra to call her on her own initiative. She immediately answered the phone, but what she heard over the phone was a man’s sepulchral voice. “Hello, Heather Langston.”

Heather could easily tell from the voice that this man was not Tony, and every cell of her body tensed up. “Who are you? Where’s Myra?” she asked in a stern voice.

The man responded unhurriedly, “Myra is in my hands.”

Heather didn’t expect such a thing to happen, but she couldn’t get flustered at this moment. Hence, she tried her best to sound calm. “What’s your purpose?” There was something fishy about this matter. After all, if he kidnapped Myra, Tony should be the first person he called, so why would he call her instead?

The man answered contemptuously, “Tony has been too much of a hindrance lately, so I can only invite his wife over for a chat.”

Even so, Heather still didn’t dare to be certain that Myra was in the hands of this man. Therefore, she asked, “Where’s Myra? How can you prove that she’s with you?”

The man let out an ear-piercing laugh. “Since you have doubts, Miss Langston, I’ll let Mrs. Hart make some sounds.”

Heather clenched her fists upon hearing how insulting the man sounded. At this moment, she wished she could kill this *sshole himself. There was a brief silence over the phone as she tried to look for clues from the other end of the line. However, it didn’t take long before Myra’s voice was heard over the phone. “Heather.” It was a brief sentence with no words to follow.

Heather shouted at her cell phone, “Myra!”

Just then, the man’s voice was heard over the phone again. “It seems that you two are really on the best of terms.”
