Standing before love Fire off chest
Matthias attempted to chase after Ether moments later, but she was already far gone. With his pajamas on and a messy hair, he looked rather chaotic.After giving Evan a threatening glance, he then ordered, “Bring her back. She hasn’t even put her shoes on.” After all, Matthias felt that he was also at fault and could not just let Ether go without apologizing.However, Evan thought it was better not to chase after her. From his understanding of Matthias, the man didn’t like to owe anyone. Although he didn’t like being intimate with women, there was still a sense of chivalry in him.With Ether’s departure this time, it would make Matthias even more guilty. In other words, it would secure a follow-up meeting for the two of them.Evan was obviously reluctant to go after her, so he said to Matthias, “She’s far gone, sir. There’s no way we can catch up to her.”Since he didn’t want to go out the house with his pajamas on, he could only gaze at Evan and perturbedly uttered, “I really hate it

With that, Matthias watched as Lara turned around and left. Deep down, he knew Lara bore no ill intent and was well aware that she was being taken advantage of. However, he didn’t know why she would act this way and fall in love with him so painstakingly.There were many secrets he noticed yet didn’t know well about, but he chose not to look into it because the truth behind such things were often too trivial for him to put his mind into.When Nikolai saw Lara walking out of Matthias’ office with her face full of tears, he was instantly reminded of the time she had just started working for their boss.When he saw how her tears fell so profusely, he hurried over to comfort her, certain that Matthias must have rebuked her.“Did the president scold you, Lara?” Nikolai was clueless about what happened inside earlier, and he just wanted to cheer her up.“No, he didn’t.” Despite her attempt to hold back her tears, they wouldn’t stop dripping down. Perhaps she wasn’t as strong as she imagined

As far as she could remember, Nikolai was always a bashful one; she had never seen him so fearless, but was that a good thing? Despite feeling a little touched, she thought that it wasn’t right for him to behave as such right now.Nikolai immediately hung up on her, and Lara didn’t know if she should leave or wait for him right now. She tried phoning him again but he didn’t pick up the call, and that made her somewhat anxious.The waiting process seemed like an eternity, and the minutes Lara spent waiting for him felt like years instead. Nikolai was still nowhere to be found, but looking for him wasn’t a choice since she was afraid she might miss him.Eventually, Lara headed to the elevator and waited for the man. If he were to look for her at the underground parking lot, he would have to reach there by the elevator. Hence, she patiently anticipated his arrival.The display indicated that the elevator had reached the third floor, which meant that it was only a matter of seconds before

It had been a long time since Lara had been described as a little girl, but she didn’t let her reaction show. Nikolai probably had no idea that his casual remark was making her heart race like crazy.He had always been a dim little boy in Lara’s eyes; she knew that she was no match for Matthias, and she understood that there was a certain distance between her and Nikolai as well.All of a sudden, Lara felt a little miserable—was there no other man left for her in this world? Why did she have to waste her time on this pair of cousins? At that moment, Lara couldn’t help but criticize herself for her poor choices.“You’re the one who’s acting like a little boy, Nikolai. It feels like you’ll never grow up,” Lara replied. Her words stunned him momentarily, and he had the urge to refute her claims.“Are you saying that I’m still a child?” Nikolai seemed quite unhappy with her opinion, for he had clearly improved tremendously in the past few years. Thus, he was unsatisfied to hear that from

The car sped along the highway. As it passed through a tunnel, Heather’s face appeared vaguely before Matthias’s eyes. Matthias hated such a hallucination, so he sped up the car and quickly passed through the tunnel. The lights inside made him feel very uncomfortable, and he felt sick as scenes about Heather kept popping up in his mind. He tried his best to shake off such a state of mind since there were many other things he needed to accomplish. Hence, he couldn’t be completely under Heather’s control since now wasn’t the right time to be wrapped up in a relationship.There wasn’t much distance left between Matthias and Caliph Nightclub after he passed through the tunnel, and he tried his best to recognize the signs around him as Caliph Nightclub was hidden among them. As his car slowly drove in, he found the nightclub with his sharp eyes. Then, he parked his car in front of it with a half-smile. Who would’ve thought this was such a place by looking from the outside? The place looked

As the cold breeze brushed against Lara, she shrunk her neck upon feeling the chilly sensation. When Nikolai saw that, he took off his coat and put it over her.“The weather’s so weird! Maybe we shouldn’t stay too long out here.” Having given up his coat, Nikolai was prone to the assault of the cold.“Yeah.” Although she was reluctant to leave, it wouldn’t be wise to stay out any longer.“If you like it here, we can come over anytime we want, Lara.” Nikolai saw her reluctance and smiled at the woman, offering to keep her company the next time they came.Since having company was indeed welcomed, Lara nodded her head in agreement, feeling Nikolai was getting more and more pleasant. Now that she had the opportunity to assiduously observe him, she realized that he was rather outstanding. In fact, she wondered why she had never seen him in such a light before.“Don’t stare at me like that. You’re making me self-conscious.” Nikolai got curious about what she was peering at and touched his o

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Natalia could sense Matthias’ discomfort, and she began thinking about how she should ease the current awkwardness here upon seeing this.“Let’s sit down and have a good chat, Director Locke,” she then suggested, knowing that Matthias would not be leaving any time soon.When he noticed how Natalia voluntarily shifted the conversation away, the words that were stuck in his throat didn’t seem important anymore. Instantly, he let out a breath. He had no idea if Natalia had picked up on his thoughts, but he felt at ease right now.Matthias didn’t feel pressured around Natalia, and he didn’t need to think about filtering his words. In fact, he quite liked this carefree feeling. If love weighed people down, was there any real need to continue?“Okay,” Matthias immediately agreed. Things couldn’t get any better than this.Similarly, Natalia also hoped that he would stay a little longer. She knew that there was a KFC nearby which was on the cleaner side. T

There weren’t many other people at the State Science Center at this hour. Meanwhile, it was also Natalia’s first time here. Back when Matthias had asked Heather out, he would always decide on places that she liked. With other women, he didn’t think too much about it.Natalia surveyed the place curiously. She was only in her early twenties after all, and since she was still a young woman, she had a strong sense of curiosity. Moreover, she felt that the place was extraordinarily fascinating since Matthias was the one who had asked her to come with him—this was probably how the mind of a person in love worked.“Do you find all of this boring?” Matthias turned to ask Natalia, to which she shook her head. She always ended up shy whenever she was with him, and it was to the extent that she didn’t dare to look Matthias in the eye.“It’s all very interesting.” Natalia didn’t forget to emphasize that.Matthias smiled since he was pleased to hear this. “As long as you’re having fun.” He had bee

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
