annoyance at the car in front of her. The more upset someone was, the more likely they would be to run into negative situations. She was reminded of Murphy’s Law—life wasn’t a TV show, where the next turn would bring about a change for the better.In reality, the next turn would often bring about even more troubling matters. She didn’t have much luck today and had a feeling of misfortune in her gut. The car in front of me is definitely a new driver. Despite wanting to overtake the car, she failed to do so over several attempts. It felt as though the car in front of her was against her. In a moment of anger, she wanted to confront the person ahead. I’d never seen someone drive like this before. For her personal safety, however, she just followed slowly behind the car. Driving in the city center was always frustrating; all the cars were jam-packed together on the road with sounds of car horns blaring one after the other.Suddenly, a thought struck Heather—she didn’t want to go home anym

A mysterious phone call

Myra had woken up early in the morning. She remembered her meeting with Heather that day, so she didn’t go back to sleep and got up to get ready instead. She was up earlier than Tony this time. When Tony opened his eyes groggily, he saw Myra sitting in front of the vanity table.“Morning.” He was fully awake now. Myra also turned to look in his direction.When Myra woke up, she moved quietly so she wouldn’t disturb him. To her surprise, he was still woken up. She felt sorry that he had worked overtime last night, yet he didn’t manage to sleep in in the morning.“You’re spacing out,” he remarked when she didn’t respond.“Why do you wake up at the slightest noise?” It sounded like she was talking to herself.It was warm inside their room. This house was built with a constant-temperature system, so the temperature inside the house was pleasant over the four seasons throughout the year. They only had to wear light clothing inside the house.This warm temperature in the middle of winter wo

The mention of picnic

On the road, Myra kept thinking about the name ‘Matt’. It sounded very familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.“Matt? Matthias Locke?” she mumbled to herself, as though she had thought of someone, but she felt like she was spewing nonsense.At the time, she did not think that going to the cemetery was a wrong decision. She preferred to hear some things from the relevant person themselves and not someone else’s retelling of it, especially since she couldn’t be certain whether that person was telling the truth or not.The suburbs were a bit colder than the city center, especially at the cemetery, where the spooky dampness in the air was a lot heavier. Getting out of the car, Myra made sure to put on a thick coat. Tony was right in telling her to put on more layers earlier.She first went to her mother’s grave, where that person would be meeting her. Even though Tony exhorted to her that the driver must follow her, she still did not let the driver follow her to

An insecure beginning

There was light rain outside. This year’s winter was particularly rainy—even more so than summer.Heather only liked to watch the snow during winter, as opposed to feeling the heavy rain.Opening the window, Heather was still thinking about the strange things that happened yesterday. Up till now, Myra hadn’t called her yet.She didn’t even reply to Heather’s message on Messenger. Resting her cheek on her hands, Heather recalled Myra’s tone on the phone yesterday.Occasionally, the rain would splash onto Heather’s face, freezing her to the bones, so she closed the window. This kind of weather wasn’t suitable to have the window open.The raindrops slid down Heather’s cheeks, but she didn’t care at all and appeared dispirited.Previously, she had vowed to Leon to postpone the opening time to a later date in order to investigate the explosion.A few days had passed, yet Heather hadn’t started the investigation. Deep down, she feared that she had already agreed with Leon’s statement.She o

Like the way your eyes

The more people said that, the more untrustworthy they were. Nikolai narrowed his eyes at Matthias, as if the latter had dug a trap and was just waiting for him to jump in.“Nikolai, I’ll never put you in a difficult situation.” Matthias gave him an affectionate smile. This was truly an old-fashioned approach.“Sir, please cut to the chase.” Nikolai didn’t want to continue going around in circles, so he took the risk despite knowing the dangers.Seeing that Nikolai had such awareness, Matthias smiled with satisfaction and began to explain what he wanted him to investigate.Nikolai’s expression turned unpleasant. So, this is what he meant by simple? He felt that he had been scammed by his cousin once again.Matthias solemnly patted Nikolai on the shoulder. “You don’t have to come to the office these few days. Just take care of the things I told you to do.”Having left no room for Nikolai to escape, Matthias curled his lips slightly when he saw how annoyed and amused the former looked.

Change starts now

Heather didn’t want to continue arguing, nor did she want to bother with him anymore. Just now, her mind must have been so muddled for her to say she missed him.Why do men always fail to understand what women say? Heather felt like she was on a different bandwidth with Matthias. It wasn’t easy for her to start feeling sentimental, yet Matthias’ behavior was completely different from what she had imagined.Having gotten no response from Heather, Matthias looked at his phone in distress. She was actually ignoring him.This was something Matthias strongly disliked, because it showed that Heather truly didn’t care about him.Matthias hurriedly dialed her number, but after several rings, she still didn’t pick up.At such times, he would usually accept his fate and stop calling, as Heather wouldn’t answer his calls anyway. However, he had gotten the wrong idea this time. He figured that she was just waiting for his call, hoping that he would be more persistent, and only then would she pick

Don’t guess

Heather watched in relief as Everly gave a slight nod. Given her current lack of experience, it was considered not bad for her to have such an understanding of the matter.Seeing how happy Everly was when she left reminded Heather of her past self. At that time, she also had such simple and pure longing.Back then, she probably didn’t think that she could become such a person. After being confused for so long, it seemed like she could see the future in a glance.When she saw others being constantly on the move with their lives, Heather felt an inexplicable sense of envy, as she felt that it was a wonderful thing to have goals and ideals.When she first returned to Bradfort City, she had a clear goal in mind, but now, she was getting more and more confused. Am I really going to continue down this path?Suddenly, her phone rang at this untimely moment. Heather thought it was Myra calling, so she quickly retrieved her phone, but the caller turned out to be Matthias.She didn’t expect tha

Confrontation

Initially, he thought that Heather had never been to the Aoki Book Bar. He didn’t expect that she had been there before, which meant that his surprise had failed.Matthias was even more frustrated. Trying to surprise her was such a difficult task.“Seems like my guess is right.” A small smile appeared on Heather’s face, as she enjoyed seeing the surprised look in Matthias’ eyes.“Yeah,” Matthias mumbled bleakly, looking apathetic.“Aren’t you curious about how I made the right guess?” Heather, on the other hand, was delighted and wanted to tease him.“I’m curious.” Matthias didn’t want to lie to Heather, so he figured he might as well be frank.“I haven’t been to the Aoki Book Bar, but it has quite a reputation, so it’s normal that I’ve heard of it. This road happens to be the only way to get there, which is why I figured there’s a high chance we’re going to the Aoki Book Bar,” Heather explained, feeling quite pleased with herself. When she was with Matthias, everything became more in

She is being hostile

Who would’ve thought that one could also encounter something like this at a book bar? Matthias couldn’t recall the appearance of that girl at all. Was the ordinary-looking girl really so special like what Heather said?Seeing the doubt in Matthias’s eyes, Heather could tell that he doubted her words, but she didn’t want to explain any further—it would naturally become clearer when they met afterward.“Isn’t that ‘Fables and Fairy Tales’?” Matthias pointed to the book on the shelf and said with a faint smile. Heather only cared about what happened before, and forgot to take the book that was just right beside her.Immediately, he picked it up. He raised the book and began going through it; he seemed to be in a good mood, completely putting what happened earlier at the back of his mind.“Bring it to me,” Heather demanded, stretching her hand out. How could he read the book all by himself knowing that it’s what I want? This is not fair, she thought.“Don’t be stingy. Let me take a look f

Leon is in trouble again

Belrose Avenue was a remote commercial area. Heather and Matthias would usually never visit such a place if it weren’t for Leon today—and how Leon even found this place was a mystery.Fortunately for Matthias, the drive was smooth, and there were no traffic jams along the way. On the way here, Matthias didn’t care at all whether the road was congested—he drove extremely fast, and Heather didn’t stop his dangerous driving at all. The two of them paired together was a threat to the other drivers on the road; someone should really talk some sense into them about this.However, Heather and Matthias weren’t ordinary people that one could just tell what to do. Perhaps it was because they’d never gotten into any serious accidents, but they’d become more and more reckless on the road; whoever was in the car with them would have their hearts in their throats.On the other end, Leon had been urging Heather on Messenger to the point she had lost her patience, but he still refused to tell her wha
