Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 707

Heather put on a jacket and quietly got down from the bed. Then, she went up to the window and admired the moon outside. The full moon was bright and yellow tonight, and it almost seemed as though she could see Matthias’ face printed on it.

The latter seemed to be everywhere she looked these days, and Heather felt like she could go crazy from these hallucinations. In fact, she had much better things to do, so why was her mind occupied by these romantic affairs instead?

In Heather’s eyes, Matthias had the handsomest face which was incomparable to any man on earth—his good looks were precisely the type that could make her heart flutter.

Sadly, she only felt deeply attached to him after she left. Could Matthias also be thinking about her right now? Was it the best decision for them to break up like this?

It was already 2.00AM when Heather returned to her bed, and she still had to wake up early the next morning to drive. According to rumors, there was an incredible physician who dwelled in this city—apparently, he had the power of rejuvenation.

Heather had sourced this information far and wide. Sure enough, when one began to lose trust in Western medicine, they would often seek remedy from Chinese medicine which was both traditional and reliable. Heather wasn’t certain about the doctor’s true abilities, but perhaps he could give Robert a new hope in life.

It was still rather early when Heather opened her eyes the next morning, for she couldn’t sleep well at all. On the other hand, Leon was still sound asleep. Similar to Heather, the man hadn’t been resting well these days either, so it was great that he was able to get some quality sleep this time.

Heather waited for Leon to wake up, and she even informed the hotel staff to prepare a scrumptious breakfast. When she glanced at the clock, she noticed it was almost 8.00AM. I’ll let Leon sleep for another hour.

At 9.00AM, the hotel staff knocked on the door right on time, sending over the breakfast that she had ordered earlier that morning. Heather got down from the bed and opened the door for the servers, whereas Leon was surprisingly still asleep.

The servers left after pushing the food cart in, but Heather stared at the breakfast spread and realized that she didn’t have much appetite. However, Leon could eat like a horse, so she believed that he would have no problem finishing it.

Then, she walked up to Leon’s bed before she reached out and nudged him. “It’s time to wake up.” Heather’s voice was cold and emotionless.

“Huh?” mumbled Leon as he heard a familiar voice by his side.

“Get up.” Heather was a little louder this time. Along with that, she nudged him harder as well.

“What?” Leon mumbled something incoherent after that, and he couldn’t wake up at all.

“It’s getting late, Leon. It’s time to get up.” Heather was getting impatient, for the third time was her limit. She was about to get rough if Leon still didn’t wake up.

As expected, Leon still wasn’t willing to get up—it was clear that he couldn’t be woken up by such gentle means. Thus, Heather decided that she wasn’t going to be polite anymore.

She pinched his nose without a warning, waiting to see if he would continue sleeping even like this. Leon opened his mouth to breathe, and his eyelashes quivered in panic. Heather then said ominously, “You’d better get up right now, Leon.”

He opened his eyes in a flash. He looked toward Heather, but he couldn’t tell where he was for a moment, coming to his senses only after a while.

As he panted for air, he said to Heather in dissatisfaction, “You’re going to break my nose!” Heather was putting more and more force in her fingers while Leon complained in pain.

“Since you can’t be woken up by words, I can only use force,” Heather said with a mischievous smile.

After that, she finally let go of Leon’s nose slowly. The man’s nose was now swollen and red, and a chuckle escaped Heather’s mouth all of a sudden. It was too funny to watch!

“Good morning to you too!” Leon exclaimed in distress.

The helpless look on Leon’s face greatly lightened Heather’s mood, and he was no doubt her happy pill.

“You’re being too rough, Heather. No man would want you if you keep acting like this.” Leon rubbed his nose, feeling utterly wronged from being tortured by Heather every single day.

“Oh, is that so?” Heather questioned him sarcastically.

“What time is it, Heather?” After that, Leon rubbed his eyes and asked innocently.

“Can’t you find out yourself?” She turned around promptly. Since Leon was awake, she couldn’t be bothered to talk.

Leon grabbed his watch by the side and was surprised to see that it was already past 9.00AM. No wonder it’s so bright outside. He had overslept quite a bit this time, and he even promised yesterday that he was going to wake up super early today. As he recalled that, he repeatedly slapped his face for not keeping his promise.

“I’m sorry, Heather. I overslept.” Leon scratched the back of his head apologetically. Right now, he looked exactly like a guilty elementary school student who was admitting his mistakes.

“Quick, come and eat. Quit stalling already.” Heather was already dressed up, and she even had some light makeup on her face.

“Hehe, I know that you care about me, Heather. Look at all this good food you’ve ordered on my behalf!” Leon giggled foolishly as he got down from the bed.

“Cut the nonsense and come here.” Leon was already used to Heather’s cold-shoulder toward his silly behavior.

Thus, he quickly made his way to the table which was filled with all his favorite food—indeed, Heather was just a woman with a tough mouth and a soft heart.

“You look so energetic today, Heather! I guess you’re in a pretty good mood, huh?” Leon praised her sweetly. Lately, both of them were in a slump, so a little positivity once in a while was very much needed.

Heather couldn’t be bothered to respond. In fact, her dark eye circles were extremely horrifying at the moment; if it weren’t for her full coverage concealer, she would’ve looked awfully tired and lifeless right now.

“Cheer up, Heather,” Leon comforted her hastily. He was worried that she was still thinking about Matthias, and he only hoped that she wouldn’t look as troubled as this whenever she was with him.

“Do I look that unhappy?” Heather argued.
