Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 657

On the way back to the Langston Residence’, Heather did not utter a word. Looking at her, Matthias guessed that she might still be thinking about the cross necklace. There were times where he wanted to talk to her, but he eventually gave up.

Even until she exited the car, he had no intention of talking to her as he was in a dilemma. Recalling how she had been acting abnormally for the past few days, he finally had something figured out. As much as many things could be left aside for the time being, but once they were brought up, everything would completely change.

“Heather,” Matthias reluctantly called out to her.

Upon hearing his voice, she turned around and with a faint smile on her face, she replied, “I’m heading back. Don’t miss me too much.” Just by a glance at Matthias’ face, Heather knew what was on his mind.

After thinking about it for a moment, he stepped forward and stared at her unblinkingly. Knowing him well enough, she had already guessed his next move.

She immediately stretched out with her hand and stopped him. “No, don’t do that.” It was better for them to stay low profile in front of her house.

At the same time, Matthias had expected that she would react in this way, so he did not push his luck any further. “Have a good night then,” he responded awkwardly.

While nodding at him, Heather answered, “You too.”

The atmosphere between them suddenly became weird as both of them were at a loss for words. After looking at each other for a long time, they turned around without saying another word.

Then, as Heather walked toward her house step by step, Matthias entered his car and looked at her back for a long time. Instantly, he felt that she was so far away from him and it left his heart feeling empty.

By the time she turned around, he had already left. With her lips slightly curled, she felt that many things would change after they went their separate ways today.

“Matthias, no matter what happens after this, don’t blame me,” Heather muttered under her breath as she had already thought some things through.

After she returned to her bedroom, she sent a message to Leon, ‘I accept your proposal.’

As soon as he read her message, he was beyond excited. Although he had already expected that she would say yes, he still couldn’t suppress the overwhelming joy within him when he saw her reply.

‘Don’t let anyone know about this,’ Leon replied to Heather; it was mainly because he didn’t want Matthias to know the inside story.

‘Okay.’ Heather didn’t know whether she had made the right decision. Since she had already accepted Leon’s proposal, she was ready to embrace what was about to come.

She couldn’t imagine how Matthias would react when he learned about this. It was like she was playing with fire. The moment news of her relationship with Leon appeared in tomorrow’s papers, many people would definitely sneer at her.

The next day, she woke up early in the morning and saw Robert at the dining table with a newspaper. It seemed that she was in the newspaper again. As she was extremely familiar with his behavior, she laughed at herself while glancing in his direction.

A second later, she took the initiative to speak, “Grandpa, what’s so nice about those titbits?”

Upon hearing her words, Robert put down his newspaper as his eyes were filled with coldness. Heather knew that she had once again forgotten about his previous warning. Indeed, she shouldn’t have been so close to Matthias after everything that had happened.

“I hope you know your place.” Robert made sure his every word was loud and clear enough for her to hear him.

At the same time, the other people at the table looked at them in confusion as they lost track of what was being said. She casually flashed a faint smile at them.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.” After seeing that no one was digging in, Heather took the initiative to do so.

Not wanting to refute her in front of everyone, Robert handed the newspaper to the housekeeper, “Take it away.” He knew that everyone else was curious about the contents of the newspaper.

Without the need to read the newspaper, she already knew how the report was being written. She was intimate with Matthias last night, so there was no doubt that she would be on the headlines today.

After breakfast, she immediately left the Langston Residence, not allowing Robert to call her to the study room for a talk. She had heard enough of his great principles. She didn’t want to argue with him, nor did she want to waste her time talking to him in the study room because, after all, she had no intention of changing her decision at all.

The reason why Heather left the house early in the morning was to meet Leon. She still had a lot to discuss with him, yet there wasn’t much time left for them.

After an hour’s worth of driving, she finally arrived at his villa. Before she had the chance to knock on the door, he had already opened it from inside.

Upon seeing her puzzled expression, he smiled as he asked, “Are you surprised? My reaction is so fast that even I am taken aback.”

Not in the mood to listen to Leon’s gag, Heather pushed him aside and went straight into the villa. Walking behind her, he looked at her back with dissatisfaction as he wondered when she would be a gentle lady.

“Heather, you’re gradually losing your comical side,” Leon noted as he chased after her.

“I’m in a terrible mood right now. How do you expect me to have fun?” An annoyed Heather snapped.

Upon hearing her words, Leon gave her a bitter look because it was rare to see her being this honest. He asked tentatively, “Heather, did something happen to you?”

Yet, she didn’t bother to listen to his nonsense as she replied coldly, “Let’s cut to the chase.”
