Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 631

It was because of the call that the light-hearted and harmonious atmosphere in the private room immediately became heavier.

After Heather hung up, her face darkened as she considered whether to watch the video. Even though the cover of the video was pitch black, she was hesitating because she had an ominous feeling about it.

Seeing the change in Heather after answering the call, Everly felt slightly suspicious. She merely looked at Heather, not knowing what to say to console her. After all, Everly had no idea what had just happened.

“Everly, I’m full. You continue eating without me.” After taking just a few bites, Heather claimed that she was already full, which made Everly unable to continue eating as well.

“Heather, I’m also full. Why don’t we head home?” Everly replied thoughtfully, thinking that it would be a better option to return.

Heather shot a glance at Everly. She just started eating, so how could she be full? She must be accommodating me. I don’t want my private matters to affect her emotions either.

“Eat more.” She tried to persuade Everly. Even though she did not have any appetite, she still asked Everly to eat more.

However, Everly shook her head. Seeing that there was nothing Heather could do about this, she agreed with Everly’s suggestion.

“In that case, let’s go home.” With that, Heather rose to her full height. At this moment, there seemed to be no better options apart from going home.

On the way back, Everly remained silent while Heather had no idea what to say. Both of them remained silent, as if they had made an agreement to do so.

Everly was curious about what had happened earlier, but she was also a reasonable person. Even though curiosity flooded her at this moment, she did not ask Heather any questions at all.

Heather’s driving was rather unstable, which showed the uneasiness in her heart. The night had completely fallen and she did not expect that the upsetting day was about to be over just like that.

The journey that usually took 20 minutes took half an hour today. She had no idea what she had been thinking as she drove the car into the garage worriedly.

Both of them entered the living room one after another. Robert was waiting for them to return in the living room. When Everly saw him, a flicker of panic appeared on her face as she was surprised to find him waiting for their return in the living room.

Heather merely shot him a glance before looking elsewhere as she continued walking forward, as if nothing had happened.

Robert knocked his walking stick on the ground twice. The loud and clear thud entered her ears before his old voice rang.

“What’s wrong with you today, Heather? Is this your attitude toward me?” He was quite displeased with her attitude, thinking that she was not respecting him.

Upon hearing that, Heather turned around. She did not want to hide the incident from Robert, but she also did not want to worry him. After thinking about it, she decided to keep it from him, but she had no idea what to tell him since her mind was completely blank at this moment.

Then, Everly quickly spoke on Heather’s behalf to provide an excuse, “Grandpa, Heather is not feeling well today.”

Upon hearing that, he fixed his gaze on Heather. Indeed, she doesn’t look good, but not to the point of being unwell. Thinking that it was an excuse, he shot a fierce stare at Everly to tell her not to be involved in this matter.

“Everly, you have been busy with school for the entire day. Why don’t you head upstairs to take a rest?” he immediately suggested. Obviously, he wanted to steer her out of the discussion.

She looked at him before looking back at Heather again. She did not dare to disobey Robert, but as she also did not want Heather to be reprimanded by him, she had no idea what to do.

Heather saw her worried expression and immediately responded, “Everly, you must be tired. Quickly go upstairs.” It’s better for me to face Robert privately.

Everly wanted to say something, but Heather shot her a warning look to stop her. After seeing that even Heather wanted her to leave, she did not stay any longer.

Robert watched as Everly headed upstairs before the living room was only left with Heather and himself. “What are you waiting for? Come here,” he barked.

Hence, Heather could only walk to him. She stared into his eyes, knowing that he liked to look into the eyes of the person he was reprimanding, so she naturally did that first.

Noticing that she showed no remorse at all, he became even more annoyed, but she was just thinking of another important matter.

Until now, Heather had not watched the video. The most pressing matter for her was to quickly return to her room to investigate the video that the ringleader sent her.

However, Robert had stopped her in the hall to listen to his lecture. As a result, she could not pay any attention to what he had said.

He thought that she was still annoyed at what happened earlier that morning and spoke directly, “Heather, are you displeased about me trying to intervene in your relationship with Matthias?”
