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 Proposals
(Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayne’s eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driver’s appearance.“You’re finally here, Jason!” Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.“Zayne Lee.” With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. “Stop acting. I know you’re not injured.”Zayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.“Congratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.” It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari
Standing before love Weird things happened
Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to
Standing before love A waiting game
Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges
Standing before love The patient should be given the most respect
The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didn’t want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthias’ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, “President Locke, I heard you’ve been keeping a woman recently.”Matthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leon’s actually mad because of this. Matthias couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leon’s eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.“You actually believed those rumors?” Matthias said justly. He didn’t intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.“I’ve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.” If it wasn’t that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldn’t be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like he’s really concerned about Heather’s matters—he’s still bothered about these thi
Standing before love An intense atmosphere
Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a try—only now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldn’t solve.When a driver finally accep
Standing before love A sudden accident
Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthias’ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both men’s expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui
Standing before love Someone who creates problems
Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasn’t someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldn’t have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasn’t sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didn’t know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand information—the venue in the clip was where the Locke Group’s board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldn’t get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldn’t bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being
Standing before love Two unfortunates
At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, “It’s his personal affairs. Why should I care?”When he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.“What’s your plan today?” As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!“Other than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l
Standing before love Start a disastrous day
In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
