last update Last Updated: 2025-01-13 23:20:45

One shouldn’t speak too carelessly on a snowy day. Looking at the snow outside the window, Matthias thought, These are the kind of days that are perfect for snuggling. However, the heater in the car was getting weaker. If they were still unable to find their way out, they might really need to send an SOS message.

“The GPS isn’t helping at all.” Heather looked at the car’s GPS and felt that it was leading them to an even more remote area.

“The petrol is running low.” Matthias was worried that the car would stop halfway.

“Should we call and seek help?” Heather actually sounded like she was gloating.

“It seems like you’re quite happy to run into a situation like this.” Matthias had never met a woman like Heather. Ever since she arrived in Iceland, he had been taken aback by her every word and action.

Don’t stay outside too long or you might get frostbite.” Matthias grasped Heather’s hand, wanting to bring her back to the car.“Just let me take a walk and get some fresh air.” It was suffocating in the car, and Heather really needed some space.“Are you still worried about w

    Meanwhile, back in Solaris, the news of Matthias’ return soon traveled to Tony’s ears. However, what surprised Tony was that Heather didn’t come back with him.Ever since Matthias returned to Solaria, he had been wearing a sulky face every day.

    Without giving the leader a chance at all, Matthias said without raising his head, “You can leave now.” It was as if he hadn’t even heard what the person had just said.Everyone looked at each other for a while before someone took the lead and left, and the rest followed suit. Eventually, only the leader was left standing before Matthias, who did not even spare him a glance. He was busy with the task at hand as if the former didn’t exist at all.Matthias had handled things too kindly in the past, and it emboldened the other as a result.

  • Standing before love    Incompetence in love

    Since she failed to find any reason to refuse, Heather could only acquiesce. When Leon saw that she did not deny it, he said, “I’m still hesitant to pursue Paige.”She didn’t expect this to be what he was worrying about. Heather assumed that Leon had started pursuing Paige a long time ago, but it turned out that he was still hesitating. It seemed like he was serious this time.“If you like her, just do it. Isn’t that the principle you’ve always lived by? Why are you still hesitant to make a move?” she asked teasingly.“When I think about the things that you’ve told me, I can’t make up my mind at all.” He was indecisive since it was something he couldn’t easily forget. As such, there was no way he could go after Paige.In fact, it all started because of Heather—that was why she had to help him get over this. After all, Leon was never this cautious and indecisive when he pursued Heather back then.It was rare for Leon to be so undecided. Meanwhile, Heather held back her laughter and sai

After talking to Leon, she felt a lot better.Bradfort City still looked the same and did not change at all during the few days she was gone. As she walked out of the airport unnoticed, she glanced at the tall buildings while a sense of lament washed over her.Upon returning to the city, everything felt so unreal to her. At that moment, the corners of her lips tugged upward as an emotionless smile emerged.In fact, she did not tell anyone that she had returned. As she sat alone in the cab, she said to the driver calmly, “To Snowbush Manor.”Leon recently bought a villa at Snowbush Manor; he had moved in before Heather returned from abroad since he didn’t want to stay in a hotel anymore.Instead of going back to the Langston Residence right away, Heather went to see Leon instead. It seemed like she didn’t want the Langstons to know that she had returned to the country.Leon was still asleep

  • Standing before love    There are many misfortune

    Heather was dripping wet when she got out of the tub. Then, she grabbed a towel and dried herself up. After taking a bath, she felt relaxed and walked to the bed in satisfaction.When she saw the wooden bedframe, she wondered if it would creak when she slept on it. Soon, she shook the thought out of her mind.Solid wood was heavy, and the bed rails looked rather aristocratic. As she lay down on the bed, a content smile appeared on her face.It was a big and spacious bed; even if she turned around, she wouldn’t have to worry about touching another person. This reminded her of the nights she slept next to Matthias in Iceland, for she was worried that she would accidentally kiss him whenever she turned around.After her experience spending the night with another person, she couldn’t get used to being alone again. She noticed she was becoming more and more melodramatic, and she wondered if she really had fallen for Matthias.She wanted to ask herself what she liked about him many times. S
