A conversation between two people

The atmosphere was making them both feel bad. While Leon was uncomfortable with Heather not telling him everything, he could not even complain about it because he knew that he deserved it. He now slightly regretted his decision to accompany her here. He felt that she might be even more comfortable being alone and that his presence had made her feel confined. Meanwhile, Heather shifted her gaze elsewhere. In the past, she had been the most at ease when she was with him, but now, Leon’s figure was like a heavy stone that rested upon her heart. The barrier between them really ruined their friendship. Both of them hoped that Zayne could quickly walk out of the room to resolve the awkwardness between them while Leon constantly looked at the door. Without a phone in her hands, Heather could not even find something to pass the time. Looking at the huge television in the living room, the only remaining option for her to salvage the awkwardness hangin in the air was to switch the device on.

Mental health issues

As he was being mocked by Heather, Zayne innocently looked at her. Sure enough, those who quietly smile at others would not end up well. He cleared his throat and decided to regain his power. “If you are willing to be my assistant, it’s most welcomed,” he retorted since he would not lose to anyone in the realm of teasing.Heather shifted her gaze to Leon. “I’m afraid the assistant you are looking for is someone like Leon.” In an instant, he was pulled into the conversation again, even though he only wanted to be a bystander.He immediately clarified his position. Of course I have to stand on the same line as Heather! “I’m not interested in being your assistant, Zayne.”Zayne angrily eyed Leon. He could not believe that Leon had actually betrayed their ‘revolutionary friendship’.Since that was the case, he decided it was time for them to head home. “Anyway, we have already found out what we needed. You guys can leave now.” He was also exhausted at this hour and he would not allow the

If only we could hibernate

As the car was being steadily driven on the highway, Heather shifted sideways, as if she wanted to increase the distance between her and Leon. At the moment, she just wanted to be left alone.He helplessly looked at her. He knew that she was heterosexual, but he did not understand why Myra’s position in her heart could not be compared to anyone else. To be precise, she had cared more for Myra than Matthias.To Leon, his lover was the most important person, even more than his family or friends. Of course, he was referring to his lifelong romantic partner and not his past flings.However, Heather thought otherwise. At least to her, Matthias had not reached such an important role to her. In fact, deep within her, she still did not want to admit that he was her lover.“Drive slower. I want to take a look at the scenery outside,” she said as she looked outside the window. The lights glimmered outside, but she suddenly felt lost, as if she did not know where she was at the moment.Upon hear

A lazy afternoon

Heather stretched out her hand to touch the white dress and showed a satisfied smile. She liked the simple yet vintage design of the dress and she thought that Leon knew her well, after all. When he saw the smile on her face, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.“Do you like this dress, Heather?” he asked tentatively.She nodded. “I like it. You have a good taste, as always.” Leon’s sense of fashion was so good that she could bring him to pick out clothes for her.“Then change into it so we can see now,” he said excitedly. He could not wait to see her in this dress already.However, she did not want to put it on immediately as she thought her household clothes were more comfortable, so she murmured, “Nah, I’ll wear it when we are about to head out.”Her behavior made Leon suspect if her compliments just now were forced. After all, when girls saw a beautiful dress, they could not wait to try it on themselves.No matter how I look at it, her reaction doesn’t seem normal. She’s clearly pl

Coaxing Leon

In a daze, Heather fell asleep again. A nap in the afternoon was the best. She was sleeping so soundly that she no longer felt hungry. On the other hand, Leon was playing a video game in the room, feeling rather bored.It wasn’t until 4 PM that he remembered Heather hadn’t eaten until now. A moment later, he came to her door again but this time, he didn’t knock on the door. Instead, he kicked it open.Seeing that Heather was sleeping so peacefully, Leon walked over with dissatisfaction and patted her cheek with his hand.“Wake up,” Leon said while patting her cheek. It was rare to see Heather sleeping like this. Was this room that cozy to fall asleep in?Puzzled, Heather opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that a face was approaching her, she instinctively raised her head and was about to attack. However, Leon managed to dodge it.“It’s me, Heather! What are you doing?” Heather almost ruined his face with her punch. He knew very well how scary her fist was.“Why did you disturb my sleep

On the way to family dinner

After taking a long time to dress themselves up, Leon and Heather finally left the villa. As they walked, Heather noticed Leon’s resistance; he didn’t look comfortable at all.“You’re not going to war. Why are you so worried?” She teased him. Looking at his expression, Heather felt that he was exceptionally cute at this moment.Hearing her words, Leon replied with a faint smile. He didn’t know how to explain his complicated mood to Heather at this time. Most people wouldn’t understand his family’s situation, anyway.If there was a choice, he wouldn’t want to be born into such a family at all. Unfortunately, he had the family blood flowing within him and he had no way to deny his identity.“Don’t worry. I’m here.” Heather squeezed out a smile for him. She could feel his inner anxiety and she wanted to comfort him with a smile.“Heather, I still can’t change my way of addressing you.” Leon smiled at her faintly, pretending to be relaxed. There was no way he would show his fragile side i

Can I kiss you?

Suddenly, the car accelerated as Leon smiled slyly at Heather, “Hat, I think there aren’t many people who would hate you at first sight.”To him, Heather was different and no one could be compared to her. He strongly believed that no one would hate her with that charm of hers.“There are people everywhere that hate me at first sight.” Heather opposed Leon’s words. Due to her stunning appearance, other women would always hate her for her beauty.Leon continued to accelerate the car, going well over the speed limit. Yet, he wasn’t bothered by it at all. Although there were not many cars on the road, it was still dangerous for him to drive in such a manner.“Why are you suddenly speeding up? Are you rushing somewhere” Heather asked with a hint of mockery in her tone.Smiling, Leon didn’t answer her question. Instead, he continued accelerating his car. With her eyes slightly narrowed, she wondered if he was taking part in a car race.Looking at his determined profile, Heather didn’t know

She wouldn’t change

As one stepped forward, the other kept retreating. The spark of fire in Leon’s eyes was burning, but Heather naturally wouldn’t agree to something she disliked.However, he was pressing close to her at this moment, and just like that, the two of them maintained an ambiguous distance. It was Heather’s first time seeing Leon so anxious, and the atmosphere around them instantly became awkward.At such an odd family banquet, Heather felt helpless and alone. It was as if she and Leon were on an isolated island—no matter what they did, the others would pretend not to see.Unfortunately, she no longer had any space to back up and, at the same time that she was desperately trying to conceal the truth from the others, she was still trying to think about how to avoid Leon’s impulses. Using her forearms, she pressed up against his chest to block his approach. From what she could tell, he was not the least bit conscious of his actions at the moment, and twin embers of flame—ones of rage—leaped up

Dave was different

Having forgotten their surroundings, Leon and Heather were in their own world and were not quick to notice Dave’s approach.Thus, from their perspective, Dave’s appearance was rather sudden. Warily, Leon eyed his grandfather and tightened his grip around Heather. His cautious stance made his care for her obvious to outsiders.Holding onto a wine glass, Dave observed the pair with a neutral expression. Leon rarely cared about anything these days, and his actions only made the former more curious about Heather.From where she was standing, Heather couldn’t see Dave. Nonetheless, she could feel Leon suddenly stiffening and burying her face against his chest.The strange action made her suspicious and she tried to struggle out of his grip. However, he soon explained his actions. “Stop moving! My grandpa is here,” he said, wanting both to hold her and prevent her coming face to face with his grandfather.“Let go of me, then,” she whispered to him.“Trust me,” he answered instead, pressing

The banquet was harmonious

At the scene, Heather maintained her elegant smile. Even if it was a family banquet, she could not let down her guard. Fortunately, it was at least simpler than she anticipated and not as chaotic as Leon led her to believe.The person who was most unlike how she imagined him to be was Dave. He didn’t act at all like he was nobility, and she could only find it a good thing that Leon hadn’t handed her a few more pages of information, for it seemed like they were chock-full of his subjective biases.With a smile, she glanced at everyone. Under Dave’s warm-hearted influence, they no longer regarded her with hostility and all put on, at the very least, some measure of kindness.Despite seeing through them, Leon gave no indication he was aware of their pretense. Of course, Heather could see through them as well, but she was long used to such occasions and didn’t take any of it to heart.While they ate, the entire table was silent and devoid of any conversation. This also largely differed fr
