Am unconscious change

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-11 23:43:49

On Matthias’ way home, Heather initiated a call to keep him company—something she rarely did. With her usual dull tone, she chatted with him about whatever came to mind and before they realized it, Matthias had already reached home.

When he entertained her with a joke Lara once told him, he could hear her subtle chuckle. Then, she stopped her giggle to inquire, “Are you home yet?” All along, she was sitting at her study desk, reading a book while chattering with Matthias.

“Yup. Just got to park real quick.” Having much left to say to Heather, Matthias was reluctant to end the call as hearing her voice made him feel like she was right beside him. Swiftly, he parked the car into the garage and grabbed his phone as he got out of the car. Unexpectedly, Heather didn’t hang up on him. What a pleasant surprise! he thought to himself. However, given the pile of mess they had gone through that night, nothing else could intrigue him anymore.

“Heather,” he ecstatically called out. There were onl

    Boom! The penetrating thunderclap shocked Heather awake. Hearing the wind howling, she immediately got out of bed to close the windows as the thunderstorm neared.The peace of yesterday had now turned into a heavy downpour. How spontaneous of the weather! Seeing that winter came early and how it rained more than usual, Heather couldn’t tell if it was her fault for getting too comfortable with the climate overseas or it was the weather which was being rather unpredictable.All at once, Heather, who disliked rain and abhorred thunderstorms, closed the window, effectively blocking the piercing thunder outside. The thunder went on for quite some time but it still hadn’t rained, and only a massive billow of grey clouds was seen filling up the sky.Upon seeing that, Heather thought to herself, This rain’s going to take years. Seems like I’m not going out today. Suddenly, she had an epiphany and dialed Leon’s number.Missing the first call, Leon reluctantly accepted the second. Hearing Heath

  • Standing before love    Heart to hart

    Since there was no point in discussing it further, the duo naturally stopped talking. However, Robert’s attitude had given Heather an immense assurance. Knowing that her grandfather chose to side with her, she no longer saw any point to worry.After exiting the study, Heather pulled out her phone that had been buzzing and opened up her Messenger, only to be greeted by Leon’s swarming texts. Unexpectedly, the last one grabbed her attention. ‘You’ll need my help with Paige.’Reading the obvious blackmail, she helplessly typed out a reply. Never would she have expected Leon to be this reactive.‘Thanks for the help.’ Since it was not much of a threat, she didn’t mind accepting his help.Reading her response, Leon subconsciously frowned as he realized he was, as expected, no match of hers. Firmly believing that his family was indeed responsible for the explosion, he was unwilling to compromise by letting the matter affect the start up of their business.‘I think it’s better that I head ov

  • Standing before love    The pact between them

    The air was tense as Tony would never have expected Heather to bring forth such a matter. At the very least, it wasn’t one for them to deal with privately.Since it involved two families, he couldn’t make decisions on his own. However, Heather wasn’t one to be irrational either, so what on earth made her do such a thing?“So this is the work you wished to speak to me about?” Since the relationship between Langstons and the Hart family had been hostile for the longest time, it would only continue that way. Knowing that, Tony couldn’t see the discussion going anywhere.Disappointed, Heather frowned at Tony as his attitude made it apparent that the Hart family had no intention to reconcile with the Langstons, and the grudges they held against each other would not dissolve merely because of the Moriartys’ interference.“I’ve heard that the Moriartys have been working with the Locke Group in secret. Given how long they have hidden in the dark, there’s no way the Langston family is their so

  • Standing before love    Heathers lone plan

    Skeptical about Heather’s words, Leon stared at her suspiciously while giving her a mischievous grin, feeling happy to see her in the hotel.“Did you sleep well?” Heather changed the topic because she thought it was a hassle to attempt to clear his doubts.Leon looked out of the window with his eyes squinted, and the dark circles under his eyes became more apparent. Truth was, Heather had already noticed this but she deliberately quizzed him despite knowing his restlessness. Seeing him so fatigued, she continued to mock him, “Seems like you didn’t get enough sleep yesterday. Serves you right for being so stubborn about changing rooms.”Much to her surprise, Leon remained silent. After a while, he blurted discontentedly, “You came to persuade me to delay the opening.” He didn’t wish to delay the launch of their company and he thought that Heather was being impulsive.“You’re in over your head. I’ve already made that decision, so there’s no need to persuade you.” Being the lone wolf she

    Before Matthias’ arrival, Leon connected his laptop to the satellite and found out Heather’s whereabouts. It had been a long while yet she was still on the roads, reluctant to head home.Accordingly, Leon attempted to call her, only to find out that she had turned her phone off. No wonder! He revealed a helpless grin as he mused, She’s so persistent!Looks like his actions had hurt her. Since he was unable to support his friend into doing the wrong things, he could only think of righting her wrongs.Even now, Leon was trying to prove that point with his actions—baiting Matthias to see how concerned he was about Heather.If Matthias chose to be smart and strategic in this case, that would prove he hadn’t fallen deep enough for her. Back when Leon was all in for Heather, the Langstons used her as bait to lure him home. Although he considered himself sharp-witted, he didn’t contemplate too much back then and eventually fell for such ridiculous excuses. Perhaps he was blinded by love!Now

    After exiting Violeast Hotel, Matthias stormed into the rain. As he was too focused on finding Heather, he forgot to bring an umbrella. Given how on edge he was right now, he couldn’t feel a thing despite the cold raindrops falling upon his skin.“Please be safe, Heather,” he mumbled repetitively.“Achoo!” Heather, who was driving, sneezed before grabbing a sheet of paper towel to rub her nose. Am I coming down with a cold?Although the weather had been freezing since early in the morning, Heather didn’t feel at all chilly, as her mind was completely focused on the issue at hand. Thus, she merely wore thin layers of clothes when she left home.

    It was a heavy downpour out there. Heather, who had no makeup on, was sitting opposite Matthias. It stirred something within him that he wanted to capture and keep this beautiful moment to himself. A shutter sound could be heard and he took a photograph of her while she was drinking her coffee. However, she lifted her head the next second and snatched his phone away from him.He felt a little frustrated that he had forgotten to turn off the shutter sound, and now Heather had deleted the photo without a second thought. She then glanced at him coldly, her expression unkind. “Don’t simply take photos of me.” To Heather, she was looking like a mess now, so how could she let anybody photograph her in such a state? She fixed her fierce gaze at him, as though he had done something unforgivable.“You look too pretty so I couldn’t help it,” Matthias replied with utmost sincerity. Heather’s aura seemed weaker than usual when she did not put on any makeup, and she looked more adorable now when s

Truth was, she understood the profound meaning behind his words but it was just that she dared not delve deeper into it.And so, she took the initiative and avoided discussing it further as she murmured, “Grandpa, let’s not talk about this matter anymore.” When she was young, she would wonder about the reason why she could not get the rights of inheritance with her strong capabilities. However, as of now, she no longer cared about it anymore.“So tell me—where have you been today?” Robert asked unreservedly.

  • Standing before love    A war of words

    The tea house had a good sound insulation effect as the roaring sound of the machinery not far from here could not be heard. Sitting in the tea house made them feel as though they were in another space, isolating them from the noise out there.The aroma of the tea wafted around the room, which teased Matthias’ olfactory. He knew that Heather was a person who liked to enjoy life and he thought that it wouldn’t be boring in the future when he was together with her. While he was deep in thought, anticipating his future with her, she remained quiet as she flipped through the documents.At this moment, he remembered some of his old memories. They had once sat by the lakeside while enjoying the breeze and at that time, he would secretly peek at her. It was something that even Myra had taken notice of—when he was with her, he would feel comfortable, but if Heather was there together with them, he would feel nervous.Although it was a memory from some time ago, he could still recall his nervo

  • Standing before love    The Locke group

    On the phone, Matthias did not feel a sense of displeasure from Heather, and both of them tacitly remained silent about what happened yesterday. It was a brand new day and a new beginning; yesterday had already passed. He had improved a lot in dealing with relationships.“What is your decision about the date, Miss Langston?” Since she did not reject him at once, she would very likely agree to his offer. Therefore, he certainly should take advantage of this situation to persuade until she nodded.“Well, I’m afraid that Director Locke is doing this for his private reasons under the disguise of business matters,” replied Heather in a teasing manner. This was not the first time he had done such a thing and it used to happen very often. Therefore, in her eyes, he was like a person with previous convictions.Upon hearing her words, he smiled while looking resigned, as he was unable to continue with what she said. By using the name of official business matters for his private interests, he h

    Once one opened up the soft spot of their heart, a lot of stories would unfold accordingly. Besides, some new changes would also lead to a big difference in a person. Matthias’ words were still circling around her ears but as she was hearing his voice, she gradually started to feel sleepy. Even if it was just himself, he could also talk eloquently.After a long moment, Matthias did not get any response from Heather so he asked, “Heather, are you listening?”She had fallen asleep while she was breathing steadily, and her phone was also slid to the side. She did not respond to him at all and it was as though Matthias was talking to the air.Right at this moment, he wondered if he had upset her again to get such a consequence, so he hurriedly reflected on himself.“Heather, have I said something to irritate you? Are you angry with me right now?” This is all he could think of at the moment. Well, he wouldn’t have thought that Heather had actually fallen asleep, because this was the first
