Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 697

In order to prevent Matthias from doing anything embarrassing, Evan quickly lugged him away. Meanwhile, Ether appeared reluctant to see him go. Seeing that, Evan was displeased, as he didn’t expect that Matthias could win her heart so easily. He had heard that Ether was an icy beauty, and she had hardly taken a liking to any man. Therefore, it had never crossed his mind that she’d fall for Matthias.

Unfortunately, she was Ether, and not Heather, after all. Matthias loved Heather and no one else. Evan shot a pitiful glance at Ether, who had just lost her love crush. At that instant, he recalled the woman he had fallen in love with at first glance in the past. The person who fell in love first in any relationship was destined to get hurt. Love was the unfairest thing in this world, as it wasn’t an exchange of equal values. Perhaps one might think that they had given all they had, but to the other party, it was nothing more than trouble.

Evan supported Matthias’ weight with difficulty. Although Matthias looked thin, he was quite heavy when he was drunk. Evan recalled reading from a book that a drunk person’s weight was two times heavier than when they were sober. Now, he could totally relate to what he had read. He was a frail man himself, so it took him a lot of effort to bring Matthias back to his home. If it weren’t because Matthias was still somewhat conscious, both of them would have slept over in Caliph Nightclub.

Looking around this familiar place, Matthias shook his head. “Is this my home?” He appeared doubtful, as everything around him was both familiar and strange to him.

“Mr. President, this is your room.” Evan directly threw him onto the bed as he was exhausted.

At that instant, Matthias felt the world around him spinning. Martial artists could never get drunk. He always remembered that because no one knew what would happen if a martial artist got intoxicated, so he had never allowed himself to get drunk.

However, he had accidentally become inebriated on this day. Moreover, the sunlight outside was dazzling, so he wasn’t sure whether it was daytime or nighttime now. Upon getting out of the bed in a wobbly manner, he stared fixedly at Evan and put on a faint smile. He looked vastly different from his usual self.

“Evan, I’m not drunk.” Matthias insisted that he was sober. He was walking in a staggering manner now, so it was apparent that he was far from sober.

“President, it’s late now. You should get some sleep.” As Evan spoke, he pressed a button on a remote control, after which the room turned dim, as though they had fallen into complete darkness.

“I don’t want to sleep. I need wine.” Matthias was already befuddled. However, he still wanted more wine to continue drinking.

It was the first time Evan dealt with Matthias when the latter was drunk as he looked at him with a headache. Nevertheless, he had no better way to handle him.

Inside the dark room, Matthias searched around with his hands. Then, he fell into Evan’s embrace and caressed his face.

“Heather, don’t leave me, and don’t get married to another man.” Matthias finally uttered the truth after he got intoxicated, while Evan listened to him in shock.

He found it hard to believe that things had come to such an irreversible point. Although Heather was willful, she couldn’t possibly have agreed to marry someone else on a whim. Initially, he thought that it wouldn’t take long before they would make up again. However, it seemed that he was mistaken, as they were indeed going separate ways.

“Heather, what else do you want me to do? Why do you doubt my love for you?” Matthias asked sorrowfully. He had the urge to pry open her head and see what was on her mind.

“I have never doubted your love. Sleep now, will you?” Evan was coaxing him like a mother trying to put her son to sleep.

“I don’t want to sleep. I only want you.” Matthias was behaving like a kid who couldn’t get his candy. He couldn’t stop himself from missing Heather.

“Alright, alright. I’m yours.” Evan squeezed out the words. It was quite nauseating to say such things, but he had to put up with it for Matthias’ sake.

“You’re lying. You don’t need me anymore. You doubt my love for you. You don’t love me anymore. You’ve fallen in love with someone else,” Matthias uttered in an interrogative manner. He wanted Heather to come back to him, but it was practically impossible.

“No. You’re the one I love.” Evan quickly got into character and persuaded himself that he was Heather. Otherwise, he couldn’t have said those things.

Nevertheless, Matthias pushed him away. “No, you’re not Heather. You’re lying to me.”

It was said that force was mutual. Due to the fact that Matthias had exerted too much force earlier, he had also fallen to the ground. Evan got to his feet and looked down at him in the darkness as he was torn between tears and laughter. Now, it seemed that Matthias needed consolation from a woman.

Evan was considering whether he should call Ether to come over, as he really couldn’t deal with Matthias anymore. Furthermore, Matthias had said that Heather was going to get married to someone else, so he should probably change his target.

After getting out of the room, Evan was still apprehensive, for he reckoned what he was about to do would make Matthias enraged when the latter sobered up. Matthias wasn’t just his best friend, but also his boss, so he wasn’t sure whether he should make this kind of decision on Matthias’ behalf.

After giving it a thought, he decided to take the risk. Even if Matthias wanted to fire him afterward, he would accept his fate. He didn’t want Matthias to be troubled by his love affairs again, as he just wanted him to be happy.
