Standing before love How could he reconcile
Facing Matthias’ confrontation, Myra couldn’t think of a way to deal with him at the moment, and her silence made him want to push his luck all the more.“Since Miss Stark has no objection, let’s have coffee together,” Matthias said in a casual manner. Nevertheless, he wore a threatening look.“It’s office hour now,” Myra reminded Matthias as she was not keen to have coffee with him at all. “Besides, I shouldn’t take coffee because I’m pregnant.”Matthias wasn’t too bothered about Myra’s rejection, but he frowned involuntarily when he heard her say she was pregnant.In fact, he had long heard of the news concerning Myra and Tony, so he knew everything about Myra like the back of his hand. He was even aware that she was pregnant for three months. Nonetheless, when he heard Myra say this to him in person, he still couldn’t accept that the person who made a promise to him back then had both her appearance and heart changed.How could he reconcile himself to the fact that his childhood sw
Last Updated : 2024-11-30Standing before love Couldn’t remember at all
Her memories were hazy and vague. For a brief moment, she felt like she managed to grasp onto something, but unfortunately, it slipped away from her again. In the end, she couldn’t remember anything at all.No matter how hard she tried to recall, nothing came to mind. Memories that flashed quickly in her mind seemed like a dream that was out of reach. Myra stared at Matthias across from her in frustration, and in the end, she still couldn’t remember how she was related to him.When dessert was served, they both ate in silence. Matthias had ordered a glass of warm milk for her, as he thought it would be safe for pregnant women.Just as he said, the colorful fruit cake was delicious. This dessert shop had really good desserts that weren’t too sweet and had a nice texture.Neither of them spoke to break the silence. Myra lowered her head and ate the piece of cake in front of her quietly.Meanwhile, Matthias would occasionally raise his head to look at her with a doting look in his eyes.

After refusing Matthias’ kindness, Myra returned to her office alone. Because of that text message, she felt delighted. Her best friend was coming home from abroad, and she would be able to see her childhood friend very soon. There were so many things she wanted to tell her.Myra’s childhood friend, Heather Langston, was a real scholar. She had been studying abroad for her PhD, and she had finally graduated. It had been a long time since they spoke since Heather was always busy with her studies and simply couldn’t spare the time. On top of that, Myra had also been busy with one thing after another, so both of them didn’t have the time to catch up at all.Now, there wasn’t much on Myra’s plate, and Heather was coming back. She was over the moon at the thought of reuniting.Myra was contemplating on inviting Tony when she picked Heather up at the airport. Since they hadn’t met yet, she decided to ask for his opinion.In the evening, Tony came to Stark Group to pick Myra up. As soon as h

She was wearing a plain T-shirt that hung loosely on her body. A casual attire on a supermodel’s figure and a pretty face no doubt attracted everyone’s attention.Even the simplest outfit on her would give off a sense of uniqueness. While others were wearing beautiful clothes to make themselves look better, she was born with a perfect body that looked good no matter what she wore.With this first impression of her, Tony politely gazed at Heather, whose eyes swept over him. When they made eye contact, she seemed to be sizing him up.Immediately, Myra introduced Tony to her. “Heather, this is my fiancé, Tony Hart.” With two of the most important people standing by her side, Myra felt incredibly happy.“Hello.” Heather took the initiative to greet Tony with an intriguing look in her eyes.Without delay, Tony responded politely, “Nice to meet you.” They were extremely formal with each other.On the other hand, Myra could sense that something wasn’t right between the two. When one strong p

The next day, Myra received a text message from Heather early in the morning. After so many years, Heather still preferred the direct way of texting. Myra had always been a light sleeper, so she woke up when her phone buzzed.‘What time are you leaving?’Heather was direct in asking the question. Glancing at the time on her phone, she then immediately replied.‘See you at Times Square at 10AM.’The nearest shopping mall to the Hart Residence was Times Square. She estimated that she would be able to make it there by 10AM.‘Okay.’ Heather’s text messages were always short and sweet. In fact, she wasn’t a straightforward character, but she was only this direct to Myra and never lied to her.Since she was meeting up with her best friend, Myra got all dolled up and wore a white cotton dress. She hadn’t dressed like this for a long time, and wearing this outfit made her look a few years younger. She was overflowing with youthful energy.In addition to that, after seeing Heather, she felt li
Last Updated : 2024-11-30Standing before love You remind me of someone
Sensing Heather’s strange reaction, Myra glanced sideways at her before she replied to Matthias.“Director Locke, are you here for furniture shopping too?” Heather was even more shocked when she saw how calm Myra was.“What did you just call him?” Heather pointed at Matthias and asked.“What’s the matter, Heather?” Myra asked in concern. Heather is acting strange.Matthias walked up to them and sized up Heather, who was standing next to Myra, but it seemed as if he didn’t know her. Suddenly, Heather realized that she was being rude, so she hurriedly came back to her senses and smiled at Myra. “He reminds me of someone.”Matthias was even more doubtful. It was as if he didn’t know Heather at all, but it was impossible to forget a girl with a pretty face like Heather’s.“Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Matthias.” Matthias introduced himself to Heather with a bright smile on his face.Myra had an indescribable feeling. For some reason, she felt that Matthias’s attitude toward He

Matthias held the book in his hand and strode to the counter without a moment of hesitation. He planned to buy one copy to carefully study its contents. ‘In-Depth Analysis’. Heather really is a narcissistic woman. I’m curious to see how she beautified herself in her book.Myra sat in Heather’s car, and the two of them chatted happily on the way. Heather had invited Myra to Langston Residence. After all, Myra hadn’t visited Langston Residence ever since Heather went abroad years ago.After they arrived, Heather held Myra’s hand tightly. The Langston Residence was much more extravagant than it used to be that even Heather was shocked when she stepped into the house yesterday. She was worried that Myra couldn’t bear the surprise.The Langston Residence was a vintage manor house that was built like a medieval castle. It was an eye-catching building that the citizens of Bradfort City nicknamed ‘The Langston Effect’.“Your family is as…” Myra smiled meaningfully and glanced at Heather.“As

The car was driven smoothly on the road and soon came to a stop at the entrance of Hart Residence. As Heather was always thoughtful, she had brought along some gifts out of courtesy. She lifted her head to marvel at the residence. It was an unpretentious and humble mansion. Indeed, the Hart Family didn’t need a glamorous appearance to attract the others. From the moment Heather got out of the car, she had been wearing a standard, courteous smile as if she was here to attend an important banquet. “Relax. You’re making me nervous too with that serious look,” Myra murmured next to Heather’s ear. “I don’t dare to ease up because I don’t want to embarrass you,” Heather said decorously while still wearing a smile on her face. Just then, Tony came out to welcome them and took Myra’s hand from Heather. Then, they intertwined their fingers, so Heather inevitably had to witness their public display of affection. “Welcome to Hart Manor,” Tony said amiably. He sincerely wanted to establish a

Standing before love Search for an answer
As Myra’s vision blurred, she fell into Heather’s arms, hearing the latter’s anxious voice calling her name.The sudden onset of pain was identical to the headache she had experienced before, but this time, it affected her whole body. Myra gripped her chest tightly, the pain threatening to cease her heartbeat. Without delay, Heather lifted her friend up.She then took Myra to the hospital in her car, but something peculiar happened. A short while after arriving at the hospital, Myra could feel that the pain had vanished.It was exactly like her headache last time, which left as suddenly as it came. Heather’s eyebrows creased in a frown as she wondered what was going on with Myra.“What did you see at the rockery?” Myra was staring in a particular direction when she fainted, but when Heather followed her gaze, she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.“A cave,” Myra answered with a hollow look in her eyes.The frown on Heather’s brows deepened. How could a simple cave cause her to b
Standing before love Memories of school
It was on the day before the wedding that Heather heard from Myra that the best man was Lucas. The moment Heather heard that name, she knew that he was one of Tony’s bros. She tried to recall Lucas’s features, remembering that he didn’t talk much and seemed to be more mature.“So, what do you think?” Myra asked teasingly, “You did say you want a best man who is tall and handsome.” She jokingly reminded Heather of what she said before.Heather smiled in response, which in turn caused Myra to feel slightly curious about it. The two proceeded to sip their drinks in silence.Myra’s wedding was just around the corner, and Heather was glad to see that Myra looked comfortable and relaxed. Myra had slight pre-wedding anxiety before, so it was nice to see that she had adjusted herself.“I’m going to give you an amazing gift,” Heather said, grinning.Myra replied, “Then I will also give you a superb gift in return.”“Why not just give me a gold card?” Heather joked.Looking at the time, Myra re
Standing before love Candidate chosen
During this period, Heather looked at Myra from time to time. The atmosphere around the table was strange, giving her a sense of foreboding. The gaze that Myra returned was intriguing, as well—it made her feel uneasy.After lunch, as everyone sat around the table chatting, Heather glanced down at the time on her cell phone with a slight frown. Noting the movement, Myra realized that she could not keep Heather any longer, for lunch had already used up quite a bit of Heather’s time.Meanwhile, the clock read 2.00 PM. It was time for Heather to be at work. After dithering for a long moment, Heather decided to be direct and opened her mouth to tell Myra, “I have to go to work, so I’m taking my leave.”As it was, Heather rarely got to visit Hart Residence and had no wish to leave so hastily, but time did not permit her to linger. With a slight nod of her head, Myra responded, “Of course! Go on.” Of those at the table, she was the only one who could truly understand how busy Heather was.Fe
Standing before love A different kind of blind
Tony had assured Myra previously that Philip and Lucas would surely show up if Heather agreed to come over. As expected, the two of them reached a while later.While Philip and Lucas didn’t confirm their attendance in the group, Tilly and Elliot confirmed that they couldn’t make it. As Tilly was completely overwhelmed by her public affairs, it had been a while since she and Elliot were separated due to her work. Hence, it was normal that Elliot would go look for Tilly when he had free time.While Shawn was busy every day as the vice-mayor, he obviously wasn’t free during the noon, so Estelle was the only one who replied in the group.‘Wait for me. I’ll be here in a bit since I wouldn’t want to miss out on Myra’s food.’ After last night, she wasn’t as afraid of Heather any longer. Moreover, it wasn’t as if she had to spend time with Heather alone because everyone else would be there as well.Since Estelle was the only person left that hadn’t reached, it wasn’t appropriate for them to s
Standing before love Candidate for the best man
After a long moment, Myra replied faintly, “We can have only one best man. Who should we pick?” There would be a quandary if they really intended to match Heather with the best man.Then, the choice for best man would become complicated, as there were currently two candidates from which Myra and Tony had to choose the one most suited to Heather.“Well, from your point of view, who would suit Heather more—Philip or Lucas?” It wasn’t up to Tony to decide, since Myra knew Heather better, anyway.“It’s hard to say. They both have their merits,” Myra replied hesitantly, wondering if she should have them meet up once more before the wedding.It felt too improper for them only to have met under the flickering lights of Zion Club and the influence of alcohol. There was a possibility that in broad daylight, Heather could feel a different spark altogether with the two candidates.“We still need to see what Heather thinks,” Tony suggested meaningfully.“Let’s find a time to meet up tomorrow,” sh
Standing before love Gathering at Zion club
Prior to Tony and Myra’s wedding, Estelle, who was busy with her shootings overseas, rushed back. Not to mention, Tilly, who was on her annual holiday, canceled her holiday and came back as well. Immediately, Myra felt like Bradfort City had become lively again because it had been a long time since she met them.However, Tony, on the other hand, valued Myra over his friends and didn’t bother about them, as he was too busy spending time with her. After some discussion, they all decided to meet each other at Zion Club, and the Messenger group chat that went quiet for a long time became active again.Besides that, Myra also added Heather into the group. This was Heather’s first group chat on Messenger because she barely used it if it weren’t for Myra. The group got even more lively with her arrival while Tony warned the others as he figured that Heather was probably not used to lively chats like this. ‘You guys better behave well and don’t scare her away.’Unexpectedly, Heather replied,
Standing before love Dare to challenge
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?“Jobbery,” Evan said.It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group f
Standing before love A hopeless chauvinist
On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, h
Standing before love The wedding preparation
When the date of Myra’s wedding drew closer, Matthias seemed to have fallen into a trance.Heather had completely given up on him, for she always looked down on men like him. Seriously though, what is his point of showing his despondency like a drama queen?Finally, it was Evan who called her and begged her to pay a visit to Matthias’s place.“I’m super busy. I don’t have the time to do so,” she rejected emotionally. Even after listening to Evan describing Matthias’s desperate situation, she had nothing but disdain for him.At that point, Matthias was basically living in his wine cellar and gave up on running Locke Group. His behavior attracted complaints from the board of directors. Even Heather was shocked to find Matthias throwing a huge fit over Myra’s wedding. In her eyes, his action was utterly despicable.“Please tell him: He does not deserve love if he only acts out like a child. He needs to learn how to love someone right before he gets all dramatic over someone again,” she h
