Standing before love Valentine’s Day
Relief washed over Heather when she finally left the company. When she realized there would be plenty of other occasions that would require her to put on a mask, she couldn’t help but feel a little deflated.On the other hand, Matthias seemed relatively unfazed, as if what happened was nothing at all. When Heather stole glances at him, she noticed he seemed rather cute. She couldn’t help but be reminded of how he looked when he was a teenager, during which he seemed malnourished. After a few years, he had become a man with a sturdy build, and it gave her an odd feeling that she couldn’t explain. It was as if he had become an entirely different person altogether.“What would you like to eat?” Matthias inquired in a gentlemanly manner.“Thai cuisine,” Heather replied offhandedly. After a morning’s work, she didn’t have much appetite.Then, she followed behind Matthias without a care in where they were actually going. He seemed familiar with the place. In fact, he might be even more fami

Tony stood tall and proud as the breeze blew his bangs. His handsome features were warm and alluring. When he turned slightly to face Myra, he was wearing a refreshing smile that was as stunning as the gods from ancient myths.“Before we go on our world trip, you have to marry me.” Tony was wearing that look when he stared into Myra’s eyes, which she found irresistible.They had been engaged for a while, so they had been thinking of marriage. To be more precise, Myra was planning to hold the ceremony after she gave birth to the baby. When she observed her belly, she noticed it was bulging slightly, so she was worried she might not look good in a wedding dress.Upon noticing her hesitation, Tony arched his brow. Things don’t seem to be progressing as smoothly as expected.“Tony, I won’t look good in a wedding dress now.” Myra was visibly dejected. If she didn’t get held up by matters pertaining to Stark Group, she wouldn’t mind getting married sooner.“You definitely will. Myra, you lo

Compared to Tony’s immaculate preparations, Matthias could only soldier on. In order to ask Heather out during Valentine’s Day, he had to prepare a special gift. While hanging around in a shop, he wondered what Heather might like.Myra would know that best. Bored, Matthias scanned through the array of gifts in front of him. Even though the colorful items were pleasing to the eye, he wasn’t sure if Heather would like them.The shop owner was a middle-aged woman. Aware of Matthias’ distress, she took it on herself to make an inquiry. “Sir, you must have come in search of a gift for your girlfriend!” The fact that she got it right at first glance was proof of her shrewdness.Meanwhile, Matthias kept a straight face while nodding stiffly. It was his first time ever doing something like this, so he was uncomfortable with it. All the while, he was all tensed up as if he were dealing with a dire task.“Here we have all kinds of gifts. What does your girlfriend like?” The lady pressed on, as

Matthias chose and sent the flowers out during his break time, so he assumed that the flowers would have reached Heather’s office by then. I’m sure most women wouldn’t say no to flowers. It might be a rather traditional gift, but I believe it’s customary to gift flowers to one’s girlfriend during celebrations like this.Heather had been kept busy the whole day. She was finishing up her work when a young man arrived at her office with a parcel in his arms. The young man broke into a smile when Heather held the door open for him. He was always polite to his customers, but he was especially friendly that day when he saw how pretty his female customer was. “Hello. This is a gift for you. I’ll need you to sign this,” he uttered politely.She simply took a glance at the rectangular-shaped parcel that was still in his arms without showing any intention of taking it from him. He began to feel rather awkward under her scrutiny, and he couldn’t seem to tell what was going on in her mind. “Who s

Matthias felt oddly ashamed of himself as he lowered his cutleries. He watched helplessly as Nikolai stormed off. It seems like Nikolai really treats Heather differently. I’ve always thought that he didn’t know anything about romantic relationships, but I guess that was just because he hadn’t met the right person at the right time. It worries me to see him so deeply infatuated with Heather though. Who would have thought that it would be love at first sight for Nikolai?He reminds me of how I had felt when I first fell in love with Myra after seeing her gentle and warm smile. Love is such an unpredictable thing. Who knows if he’ll spend the rest of his life longing for a girl, or if he’ll be able to get over his feelings before that?Heather lowered her cutleries when she saw how worried Matthias seemed. Any spark of romance that they shared a while ago was completely gone after Nikolai’s sudden appearance. They both exchanged glances with one another, and neither of them looked like t

While there were some who were sad, others were happy. On the night of Valentine’s Day, Myra and Tony spent the entire night clinging together, whispering sweet nothings to each other. They had been through so many twists and turns, and it had been a long time since they last enjoyed such a peaceful moment. As they immersed themselves in this moment, they held each other, embracing the beauty of it.“I want Heather to be my maid of honor,” Myra suggested.Taking in the smell of her, Tony appeared intoxicated, and he tightened his hand on her chest. He hugged her tightly, as though he had the whole world in his arms, and he began to smell the scent from her hair again.“Mmh,” he murmured softly. Right now, he would agree to anything she said.“Knock it off.” She moaned for a bit while his hands started to stray around her body. This guy is always fooling around! she thought, feeling somewhat annoyed.“There’s no rush about the wedding. Let’s not speak about the details today. Let’s spe
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Standing before love The maid of honor
For the entire day, Myra didn’t care much about Tony because he pulled a prank on her early in the morning. This time, Tony had pushed it a little too far though, for they almost ended up in a roleplay this morning, and Myra looked like an aggrieved little wife.Still, Tony couldn’t figure out why she was so mad. He merely pretended to be asleep and made her touch a spot which she thought to be very sensitive, but he didn’t expect that she would jump out of bed in a huff. Even after he repented within himself, he still couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps, he didn’t understand that she was mad because she thought that she finally got the chance to sneak up on him, but everything was actually under his control.Later in Stark Group’s office, Myra was busy with work. The company was now on track, unaffected by the change of ownership. Cameron’s whereabouts were unknown, and he might pose a danger in the future, but she wouldn’t exterminate him since everything was on track now, and she was s

Noticing how quickly they were picking things up, Sharon decided to teach them another form of flower arrangement. Both of them were agreeable and paid full attention to her class with enthusiasm.The two girls who were chatting away happily earlier were now quiet all of a sudden. Flower arrangement was something which could cultivate a person’s temper and calm down a troubled heart.Occasionally, both of them would exchange looks at each other, but they were mainly focused on the work in their hands as they followed the instructions diligently and appeared to be doing a very good job. Heather seemed to be more gifted, and even Myra was a little ashamed. Still, they both enjoyed the process very much and looked like they were in high spirits.When they were finished with their work, a satisfied smile spread on their faces. Myra turned to look at Heather, and they both let out a small breath. One should focus fully in order to get something done well.“That’s all for today. Both of you

Standing before love A conversation
At Bradfort City, news about Heather and Matthias was spreading fast and wide. The next morning, Robert called for Heather to have a talk in the study.Blake seemed so delighted that Heather even suspected he was the one behind the articles. Otherwise, Matthias and her wouldn’t have been the target of gossip when it was Myra and Tony who got married.In the study, Robert didn’t look too happy, so Heather didn’t even dare to breathe too loud. She felt a little guilty since she had denied having any romantic relationship with Matthias, which had caused Robert to disregard the flirtatious relationship between her and Matthias for a long time.But now, the news was spreading all over the town. Not only were people talking about their private lives, but also Locke Group and Langston Group. Since Langston Group was getting affected now, there was no way Robert was going to turn a blind eye.Just then, he angrily flung the newspaper to Heather. “Look at this article. Are you still going to d
Standing before love A special vacation
While browsing through the article, Matthias stopped at a certain page and stared at the picture on it with deadpan eyes. He was astonished that the reporters even managed to get their hands on such a picture and he wondered how long they had been secretly following them. Something fishy was definitely going on.While gazing at Evan, he tapped on the table with one hand. “Find out who this reporter is.” His instincts were telling him that there was something odd about this reporter. Perhaps by starting here, he could figure out why Heather and him were being targeted.Glancing at Matthias’s stern face, Evan asked rather worriedly, “You think this has something to do with the Locke Family.” As expected from Matthias’ confidant, Evan immediately guessed his thoughts.“This isn’t the first time the Locke Family has done something like this, and you know this,” Matthias said profoundly. He was very well aware of the Locke Family’s tricks, but he never expected they had a large enough netw
Standing before love Something fishy is going on
When Heather saw the news reports about her and Matthias, she immediately lost her appetite for breakfast.She stood up under the others’ gazes and forced a smile at Robert. “I’m done with breakfast. There are some matters to be attended to in the company, so I shall leave first.”With that, Heather left the Langston Residence and sped all the way to vent out her displeasure. Now that an agreement had been established between her and Matthias, she couldn’t actually retort the reports because according to their agreement, there was no issue about the content reported.However, by publishing this kind of news together with Myra’s wedding reports, it was like indirectly informing Myra about the ambiguous relationship between Heather and Myra.Heather was worried that Myra would instinctively connect the dots before she could confess to her.Fortunately, Myra had gone for her honeymoon trip, otherwise she would have confronted her about this matter. Nevertheless, the honeymoon trip would

Shawn couldn’t stay on any longer. Then, he retracted his furious glare and waved at Tilly.“Over here.” Tilly looked at Shawn timidly. He was wearing a fierce expression a second ago, but was calling her over now.After hesitating for a while, Tilly still went forward while staring nervously at Shawn. She wondered if she had annoyed him just now, and he didn’t seem to be pleased either when she took a close look at him. As such, Tilly regretted coming to look for Estelle.Shawn pushed Estelle into Tilly’s arms. “She’s drunk. Please look after her on my behalf. I have some urgent matters to attend to,” Shawn said while turning around elegantly.Tilly nodded instinctively. It was only after Shawn had left did she smell the alcohol in Estelle’s breath.Fortunately, Estelle was already exhausted, otherwise she would surely chase after Shawn. At this moment, Estelle was just weak. Tilly asked in resignation, “Estelle, how much did you actually drink?”“I wanna drink more.” Estelle giggled
Standing before love Not everyone has the luck
It was a busy day, where some people were happy while some were sad. Myra and Tony were a perfect match, and those who were skeptical about this couple finally stopped commenting on them.Tony was worried that Myra would be exhausted, so he sent her back to the lounge to get some rest. After all, it was inadvisable for pregnant women to stand for too long. Myra was indeed exhausted too, so she listened to Tony’s advice. Originally, Tony wanted to ask Heather to keep Myra accompanied, but Myra stopped him from doing so.“Look at them. They seem to be getting along pretty well, so let’s not disturb them,” Myra said while pointing at Heather and Lucas, who were standing not too far away from them. Tony didn’t want to spoil his brother’s good time either, so he restrained from calling Heather along.When Heather realized Myra and Tony had disappeared, the couple were already having a sweet time in the lounge. Noticing Heather was gazing around, Lucas asked casually, “Are you looking for s
Standing before love Legally wedded
Tony sped all the way to the well-decorated church that seemed matrimonious. It had been completely arranged to Myra’s liking. He was willing to do anything for her, and he’d always provide her with the best.Guests started to flock to the church as Tony welcomed the guests at the entrance. Meanwhile, Myra was waiting for the wedding to begin in a quieter area.Heather was keeping Myra company. At this moment, Myra seemed anxious as she held onto Heather’s hand tightly.“Take a deep breath. I’ve never seen you so anxious before.” Heather tried to calm Myra down.“Heather, there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to convey.” As Myra and Heather locked eyes, Heather bent down to match Myra’s eye-level. They looked like a pair of sisters.“You can take your time.” Heather’s smile was so influential.Myra quieted down for a moment as she went into deep thought, but she still couldn’t find the right words. She ended up looking at Heather nervously, making Heather wonder if she would
Standing before love The wedding had to be the best
The Hart Residence was bustling with people. Elliot and Tilly arrived in the same car, while the door of another car opened to reveal Shawn, who then held the door open for Estelle.The third car had stopped, and Philip came out of it. At that moment, all of Myra and Tony’s friends had arrived. When they were in the living room, Serena warmly received them while Henry smiled happily. He was overjoyed that his Uncle Tony was finally getting married.Everyone went upstairs, and the men and women went to different rooms. According to local customs, the bride and bridesmaid would lock themselves in the bride’s room, while the groom and the groomsmen had to complete a series of challenges set by the bridesmaids in order to be let into the room to pick up the bride before proceeding with the wedding ceremony. Estelle and Tilly went straight to Myra’s room. Pushing open the door, Estelle was astonished that the one who was talking and laughing with Myra was none other than Heather.Time had
Standing before love Wedding day
At night, Matthias wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep; Heather was also tossing and turning in her bed. Meanwhile, Myra and Tony were having pillow talk, and before they knew it, it was dawn. They weren’t supposed to spend the night together the day before the wedding, but they were unwilling to leave each other’s side. As such, they disregarded the tradition.After changing into a suit, Tony spent most of his time in front of the mirror early in the morning. Meanwhile, in another room, a makeup artist was putting on bridal makeup for Myra. According to local customs, the groom was supposed to pick up the bride at her home, but due to certain circumstances, Myra was going to be ‘picked up’ from the next room. On another note, Tony had spent the past few days decorating their new home—a villa he had just bought.Myra hadn’t seen the new villa nor did she know where it was since Tony wanted to surprise her. After they got married, they were going to move out and live in their own ho
Standing before love The bad news
Heather was actually not surprised upon hearing this answer. How could she forget that she first encountered Matthias at the man-made hill too? Heather wore a spurious smile. It seemed like Myra had gone through the pains because of Matthias.“You have a good memory.” Heather lowered her head so Matthias couldn’t see her eyes nor the complicated emotions in them and took a bite of food.Matthias smiled and remained silent. Not only did he remember the incident clearly, but he even felt like it happened yesterday. His memory was so vivid that he could clearly recall Heather’s expression at that time.“You asked me out today just to ask about this matter?” Matthias asked in disappointment. After beating around the bush, it turned out that Heather’s motive was to ask this simple question.Heather did not respond to Matthias. Her aim had already been achieved and she didn’t intend to explain to Matthias. Seeing Heather ignoring his question, Matthias roughly understood that it was true th
