Caleb interest

The meal had made everyone in the Langston Family quite nervous. Upon seeing Robert’s attitude toward Caleb, everyone was doubting Caleb’s position.Because Robert did not introduce Caleb to the Langston Family and Caleb did not make his position clear, the rest of the family members did not know how they should treat him.On the other hand, even though Heather knew his high-ranking position, she was quite indifferent as it was nothing to her and she had no interest in the military. After all, not only was she a talented businesswoman, she also liked entrepreneurs more than military men.An outstanding entrepreneur would warrant second glances from her, but sometimes she also wondered why she had her eyes on entrepreneurs. It was as if she had decided that she wanted her future husband to be involved in business.After the lunch, Caleb showed no signs of leaving, but Heather wanted to look for an excuse to return to her room. However, his occasional glances at her made her swallow her

Misunderstandings

After walking out of the study, Robert asked Heather to do something that she enjoyed. She thought about the date with Matthias and wanted to seek an answer from Robert’s eyes, but she could only see exhaustion, so she left him alone.She had no idea what came to her in the morning until she canceled her date with Matthias. If she could turn back time, she should have merely postponed it. Feeling troubled, she opened her Messenger and clicked on his chat bubble even though she had no idea how to explain it to him.‘Do you have time to meet me now?’She quickly finished typing a simple reply, but she did not send it out.After thinking about it, Heather deleted the message, thinking that it was perhaps not that appropriate to be so direct with him. Looking at the message she sent in the morning, she did not feel too happy about it.‘It’s the Lantern Festival today and I have some family business to attend to. Why don’t we meet another day?’She slightly regretted her decision to send t

Investigating Caleb

Heather pushed open the windows and turned around to smile at Leon as she inhaled the fragrant scent of the flowers in the air. “ Leon, have you heard of Caleb Moriarty?” Perhaps Leon knows something about him, she thought to herself.However, Leon stared at her with a confused expression. In all honesty, he couldn’t quite recall this person at all, so he asked rather perplexedly, “Is he from Bradfort City?”Heather shook her head in reply. “Could you help me look into this man? He’s a general from Leisfeld.”Surprised, Leon wondered, How did she get involved with someone from Leisfeld? He furrowed his brows and placed his cell phone aside.“Why are you asking me to investigate this person out of the blue?” he asked, needing a plausible reason from her.Heather, on the other hand, said resignedly, “Today, he paid us a visit and mentioned our arranged marriage…” She couldn’t quite bring herself to mention the rest of it. Obviously, no one would be able to accept this sudden appearance

The rementioned past

A wonderful fragrance came from the cooking in the kitchen, and Leon sniffed the air curiously. All of a sudden, he lost all of his motivation for work and his stomach rumbled in protest. However, he pulled a face as he stared at his computer screen filled with words and codes; his work was unfinished so for now, he couldn’t enjoy the fragrant meal.And so, he continued to tap away furiously on his keyboard. He felt like he was a machine doing everything mechanically. In fact, the job of a hacker was glorified by everyone but in all honesty, the work required a huge amount of patience.Meanwhile, Heather prepared a whole meal in just a short time and she eyed her accomplishments with a pleased look. All in all, she had finished preparing everything earlier than expected. However, Leon hadn’t completed his work yet. As such, she quietly made her way to stand behind him.She saw herself tip-toeing over to him and found her antics quite comical. As for Leon, his focused look during work

Being targeted

As Heather walked out of the apartment, the cold breeze hit her face and it brought upon a wave of coldness. However, she couldn’t stop thinking of Leon’s words; he actually made a lot of sense. Perhaps making use of Matthias is the most logical decision right now. However, the thought of having to become entangled with Matthias once again deterred her from making this move. As far as things were right now, Caleb hadn’t made his move just yet.She didn’t go to her car immediately after walking out of the housing compound; instead, she decided to take a walk around the area. Normally, she felt better after taking a walk when she was in a bad mood and presently, she enjoyed being out on this bitterly cold night.There was a drop in temperature on this cool, fall night and it slowly seeped into her. The cold air flowed through her jacket so she quickly wrapped herself up tightly. Today, she was dressed quite thinly and the bone-chilling cold air on such a night reawakened her senses, mak

A series of unexpected event

All of a sudden, a person popped up in Heather’s mind—Caleb Moriarty. Is it possible that this has something to do with him? But there’s no reason for him to do such a thing since it will only degrade his status. Besides, why would he want to do that?She dismissed the thought quickly but her phone chose that moment to ring. Not harboring any hope, she quickly opened the text.‘Please don’t misunderstand. I’m here to protect you.’Looking at the text, she furrowed her brows and for some inexplicable reason, she had the urge to kill this man because of his tone.As she held back the rage inside her heart, she sent a text over. ‘I think that I’m already safe, so I don’t need anyone’s protection. If you continue to stalk me, I will call the police.’ This is the first time I’ve heard someone saying that he is stalking me in such a delightful manner. He is obviously spying on me, so how dare he say that it is for my protection?‘If you think that calling the police will work, feel free to

The Langson warm welcome

The next morning, Heather woke up on the couch. She tried to open her sleepy eyes but her entire body was aching. I can’t believe I fell asleep on the couch! After getting up, she loosened up her neck uncomfortably before quickly taking a bath.She came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, and her eyes were bright as she dried her wet hair. Then, a knock was heard on the door, so she quickly opened it and saw the butler standing outside.“What’s the matter?” Usually, the butler would follow Robert around to serve him, so the former would rarely see to others in the Langston Residence.“We have a guest outside. He is your friend, Miss Heather.”At the moment, Heather was still wearing her pajamas and her hair was wet. She tried to guess who it was and she wondered, Who would visit us this early in the morning?Looking at the butler’s mysterious expression, she slowly muttered, “I’ll change my clothes and be right there.” After that, she closed the door straight away but at the very l

Giving his quest privileged

Robert always wanted to find a chance for Heather and Matthias to be alone together, but her hostility toward the latter didn’t seem to be easing. Even though Robert was already showing dissatisfaction toward her attitude, she showed no signs of stopping.“Grandpa, I’m really hungry. When are we having lunch?” she asked none too gently.Robert looked at the time. “Wait for another 40 minutes.” Our family usually has our meals very punctually and she should know what time we are having lunch, so why did she ask me this question?“Looks like it’s about time for lunch. Director Locke, should you be heading back now?” By the looks of it, Heather wanted to drive Matthias away from the house, but he didn’t seem to mind it and he still had a warm smile on his face.Seeing the young man rendered speechless after Heather’s awkward response, Robert quickly provided a platform for him to step down. “Director Locke, why don’t you stay and have lunch with us?”Matthias immediately looked at him wi

I don’t have the slightest idea

There was only silence all the way to the art gallery and Matthias didn’t answer Heather’s question. Am I doing this because I hate her? Or is it because I’m exacting my revenge? At first, this was actually the reason why he did it but at some point, he began to look at her differently.After the car stopped, she got out of the car straight away without even waiting for him to open the door for her. Looking at her retreating figure, Matthias had many emotions surging within him but he didn’t know what to say.There were many times he wanted to tell her outright that he had fallen in love with her, but the moment the words reached the tip of his tongue, he couldn’t spit them out.After all this time, he had never confessed his love to anyone since his confession toward Myra had totally failed back then. He had always been waiting for a chance to say the words that he was preparing for a long time. Should I be more fancy like on television or more straightforward and simple?“Heather!”

The tennis match

At the tennis court, Heather had changed into her tennis outfit and it brought out an adorable, preppy charm to her appearance. It was as if she had a Midas touch that allowed her to turn even the plainest of clothes into chic attire.The tennis outfit flattered her silhouette and accentuated her curves. Matthias, on the other hand, had had to change into his tennis outfit as well, and his day-to-day appearance might mislead one to overlook his lean, muscular build.He had spent a better part of the last few years training to fill up his frame, so it went without saying that he boasted a well-built physique, with a body fat ratio that was rigorously maintained at 10 percent. His towering height gave the impression that he was neither strong nor athletic, but the truth was such that he packed a punch stronger than that of a world boxing champion.Presently, he saw that Heather was poised to serve the ball. He tightened his grip on his tennis racket, trying to feel and familiarize himse
