Standing before love Strong heart
Everly came out of the study and came across the butler. He smiled at her, and she returned the smile, since she was polite to everyone in the family. In most cases, Everly would be a likable girl, but the Langstons only cared about an individual’s ability. Someone like Everly would never get their respect, for all she knew was study.Her parents had told her to learn from Heather, who was already financially independent when she was still a high schooler. Back then, Heather was already studying abroad and handling the family business there. On the other hand, Everly was just a normal undergraduate. She still had to rely on the family for money, and she couldn’t provide any help either. To make things worse, she chose to major in pure arts, which was useless to the family. All she did was paint, so her parents had given up on her.They didn’t blame their daughter though, since they couldn’t help their family either. Not to mention they were still living in the house because Robert was

Heather shot him a look, and he gave her the key. Nobody could stop her once she had decided on something. There was an imperial vibe about her that stopped anyone from giving her a refusal. Once she took the key, she waved the guard down. “Come back here for the key after an hour.”She didn’t get to swim right away though. Once the butler had settled Blake down, he came to see Heather. Right after the guard’s departure, he came up to her slowly. “Old Master Langston requests you in his study, Miss Heather.”Heather stopped opening the door. Grandpa wants me to see him at this hour? That’s weird. She couldn’t just yell at the butler, so she asked somewhat annoyedly, “Why is he calling me?”“I am not very sure. But you’ll find out once you see him.”The butler looked serious, so she looked at the key she was holding before handing it to him. “Give this back to the guard, and don’t follow me. I can see him by myself.” Frustrated that her swim was disturbed again, Heather went to the stu

Heather learned a few lessons from the heart to heart session. She knew Matthias didn’t understand women, but now she knew she didn’t understand men either. In the end, they were idiots when it came to relationships. They didn’t know how to love, so they ended up hurting each other.Heather had never walked a mile in Matthias’ shoes, so she kept denying his love for her. But if he didn’t love her, none of the mess would have happened. Heather was feeling much better when she came back to her room. She was only angry because Matthias was overly attentive of Everly. Before this, she said she was keeping him away from her cousin, but the truth was that she was actually jealous that he was checking out someone else.She tried her best to lie to herself, but to her surprise, she actually cared about Matthias more than she let on. When she got back to her room, Heather lay down on her bed and glanced at her phone, then she took it. A moment later, she realized Matthias had called her countl

Heather and Blake were having a quiet breakfast, as if the argument the night before never happened. The butler told Robert everything, but Robert decided to stay quiet. Even so, he was worried his grandchildren would fight again.That was the moment when Matthias barged in at the worst time possible. Everyone was still having breakfast, so they stared at him the moment he came in, and Heather frowned. Is this guy dumb? He came right after I said yes? She was slightly regretting her choice. Despite his uninvited presence, everyone turned their attention back to their breakfast, saying nothing about Matthias’ arrival. Perhaps they had agreed to the relationship between him and Heather.Robert was still welcoming as usual, so he asked Matthias to come over, but the guy only had eyes for Heather. He seemed oblivious about the fact that he came in at the wrong time, and to top it off, he looked as happy as a lark.What should I do with him? “You’re early, Matthias.” Robert pointed out the

The road was paved with glass, creating an illusion of walking on space. Also, the path was flanked by a starry sky, and Matthias seemed to have reverted to a childlike state. His eyes were gleaming happily while the stars were smiling down at him. Heather envied him for that, as it had been a long time since she last felt like a kid who got her wildest dream fulfilled.She wondered what her wildest dream was anyway. Every time she was asked that question, Heather would tell them about how she wanted to be a successful businessperson. But is that really what I like?“Feels like we’re walking in space, huh?” Matthias looked at her.Heather nodded with a smile. She didn’t want to snuff out the light in Matthias’ eyes, for dreams were something to be respected, and she respected everyone’s preference. The older she got, the vaguer her childhood dream was, but she knew she never wanted to be a filthy businessperson in the first place.“Look up there. It’s the planets.” He poked her gently

Even Heather—who was usually uninterested in space—got into character. She looked at Matthias, and he answered, “This is more interesting than I thought.”She nodded in assent. I seem to have underestimated modern tech. I totally didn’t expect simulations to be so realistic now.“Pardon me for my rude behavior earlier, dear guests. Do you have any questions for me?” the captain asked politely, unlike how he acted earlier.Matthias stared at the screen and asked, “Will we be landing on Kepler-452b?” That was the question he wanted answered the most.The serious captain finally cracked a smile. “Yes, we shall be landing on Kepler-452b.”Matthias looked at the captain up close. Since they were just simulated humans, they should be different from real humans. If he can smile, that means he has a real-life model somewhere. There were a lot of simulated humans around the deck, but most of them had a deadpan look on their face. The details were lacking, but obviously the creator had poured a

Matthias was getting really confused after getting played around by Heather. He never realized Heather was a picky eater until that point.“What about Thai then?” he asked.“Isn’t that Southeast Asian too?” she shot back.Oh d*mn. He was feeling awkward. I was in too much of a hurry. “What about spicy food?” he asked patiently.Heather only smiled, and it sent a chill down Matthias’ spine, for he had a feeling that he had done something wrong. A while later, Heather said, “You’ve eaten with me a few times before, but you don’t seem to notice my preferences.” She wanted to see how patient he would be with her, and if he would accept her unreasonable actions.He gazed at her with a look of resignation, since he never did notice the details. Thus, Matthias tried to think back on the times he shared a meal with her, but it didn’t help. All he could recall was that the first time they had a meal date was at a Western restaurant.Since that was his only lead, he decided to bet on it. “So, W

A waiter came over to clear the table after a while, and the hotpot was turned off before getting taken away. Heather looked at him in confusion, since clearing the table while the guests were still there was inappropriate.Before she could say anything, he answered, “They’ll change it into a mandarin pot later.” He could guess what she had in mind based on what she was doing.However, that didn’t cheer her up the slightest. She didn’t want to have any more hotpots, even if it was a mandarin pot, which would have one side of the pot with soup that wasn’t spicy. By now, she couldn’t work up an appetite, and she lost all interest in hotpots after the earlier experience. The spiciness still lingered in her mouth, and her stomach was still churning.“I have some important business to settle, so I might have to leave.” She tried to say goodbye in a roundabout manner as much as she could, but still, she was actually busy recently, for she needed to work on her company.Matthias wasn’t surpr

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
