The situation has spiraled

At this moment, a fierce gaze was directed toward them, making Leon feel even less like staying. Since it happened every time the family gathered, he was sensing that his cousin would very soon come and cause trouble for him. There was no way this time would be an exception.Unfortunately, Heather failed to understand and only advised him patiently, “It doesn’t seem appropriate for us to leave so early. Why are you so eager to rush home?”“There are some things I can’t explain to you right here,” he answered uneasily. While he didn’t care if his cousin caused trouble for him alone, he didn’t want to drag her into things.The fact that his cousin had left him alone for so long this time was likely solely because of her presence. No doubt, the man was observing them for now so that he could attack them after he had a general understanding of her personality. Leon was loath to imagine what that man had to be thinking, for his cousin’s gaze was growing more and more unfriendly and even st

You saw through me

In the car on the way home, the silence left Leon swallowing his words multiple times. Heather’s expression was such that he dared not address her even though he could never have predicted how things would progress.“Send me back to the Langston Residence,” she told him. She didn’t wish to pour all of her frustrations on him because after all, he couldn’t entirely be blamed for the situation.Only because she spoke up first did he dare answer her. In the end, Leon worriedly told her, “All of this was my fault, Heather. I’ll fix it. Don’t take my grandpa’s words to heart.”He wanted to comfort her even though the empty words of reassurance made him feel guilty; after all, not everyone could change his grandfather’s mind.Seeing through him right away, she shot him a cold glance. “How are you going to fix it? You have no strength to oppose your grandfather’s might.” Right now, they were caught between a rock and a hard place.“The matter of our engagement concerns only us. It is no one

Silent changes

In the unhappy atmosphere, they ended their discussion. Leon knew this was Heather’s way of protecting herself; in fact, she had hurt him many times by acting just like this.For the last few minutes of the journey, they remained in silence and did not speak even as she exited the car. This time, he stayed in the driver’s seat throughout the entire process and did not get out to see her to the door.While Heather could hear the car idling behind her, she didn’t turn back. Only after he had driven and she had walked very far away from each other did she frailly look over her shoulder at the long, empty stretch of road.Resigned, she turned to face forward once again, thinking that she understood Leon so little now. Perhaps she never really knew him. After so long, she finally understood one thing, which was that the friends and family she surrounded herself with wouldn’t necessarily stay forever.Self-deprecatingly, she smiled, thinking about the fact that the people by her side were l

Roberts health deteriorated

The butler was never a good liar. At this moment, Heather halted her steps. This matter shouldn’t be rushed, so she went back to sit on the couch. Nevertheless, she felt flustered and uneasy because she had a hunch that a crisis was approaching the Langston Family due to Robert’s actions.“Sit down,” Heather ordered the butler.The butler took a seat across Heather. Seeing Heather’s serious look, the butler had an ominous feeling that he was about to be interrogated.“Was it Grandpa’s order to renovate the house?” Heather asked in an unsettled tone.The butler knew this wasn’t a simple matter when he heard Heather’s tone, and he didn’t know how to respond to Heather because no matter what he said, she would surely catch him tripping.“I know you won’t lie to me, so please tell me the truth.” Heather threw the butler a faint smile, one that was as cunning as a preying fox’s.“Miss Heather, it was indeed Old Master Langston’s order,” the butler replied honestly as he didn’t dare to bluf

Even health person

Separated only by a door, Heather leaned against it. She felt like all her energy was sucked out at once. Just as she said, she was not that fond of Matthias. When faced with a dilemma, she had abandoned him without hesitation.“Go away!” Robert spat the two words arduously. He didn’t want Heather to continue speaking. In addition, he didn’t want his health to affect Heather’s future.“Grandpa, I’d like to get married. Will you come and give me your blessing?” Heather had made up her mind. At this moment, she wasn’t asking for his consent; she was informing him about her plan.“Heather, who are you marrying?” Robert’s voice was tinged with anxiety. He didn’t know what Heather’s plan was, and he couldn’t allow her to mess around.“It’s someone whom you’ve met before, Grandpa. We’ve known each other for many years and we know each other well. He will bring me happiness.” Heather couldn’t think of another suitable candidate now. All she needed was someone whom she could marry.“Heather,

An emergency admission

Once the butler left, the servants were left leaderless. They stared at Heather, who was lying on the couch, looking resigned as they were at a loss of what to do. Worried about Heather’s condition, they stared at each other. What’s taking the ambulance so long?They glanced up the second floor, but the butler had already disappeared. Although Heather seldom showed herself in the Langston Residence, the servants deemed her an important person because she was the granddaughter whom Robert cared for the most after all.Robert was already in such a terrible condition, so the servants were worried that if something happened to Heather, Robert might vent his anger on them. As such, the servants were distressed about their circumstances. Robert’s temperament was rather unstable lately. Therefore, anything that had to do with Heather would make him blow up instantly.Meanwhile, the butler was already by Robert’s side. After the conversation with Heather, Robert couldn’t fall asleep at all ri

I want to marry you

The board members were left astounded as they watched Matthias disappear from their sight without any explanation. Such a situation had never occurred before.Lara gripped the ballpen tightly as she watched Matthias leave in a hurry. There was only one person in this world that could make Matthias be as flustered as he was now—that person was Heather.Lara’s hate for the woman named Heather was gradually increasing. She couldn’t understand what exactly was so good about Heather that could make Matthias behave this inferior. In fact, she might not abhor Heather that much if Heather and Matthias came out as a couple, but she had witnessed over and over again how mean Heather was to Matthias.No one could withstand the person of their dreams being fooled around as such by another woman. Lara thought Matthias was out of Heather’s league, and she was determined to teach Heather a lesson.In order to reach the hospital in the shortest time, Matthias dashed out and hailed a cab.

Affection in the ward

A gust of chilly wind blew into the ward. It seemed that the window wasn’t properly shut, and the wind had blown it open. Tugging on the blanket that she had on herself, Heather felt much more awake upon the stimulation of the cold wind.Aware of the cold, Leon instinctively walked toward the window and opened it wider. The wind crept into the curves of his neck and the strands of his baby hair near his forehead started to dance along with the wind. Not long after, he shut the windows tight.After bathing himself in the chilly wind, Leon felt more awake now. He then trotted back toward the hospital bed. At this moment, a dreamy blush flushed on Heather’s cheeks.“Leon, do you not know me well enough?” She was confident that he would comply; she knew that she was the more domineering one between them, after all.“Heather, stay in the hospital and don’t overthink.” At this point, he was unable to look at her straight in the eyes. Though he had fantasized about getting together with her

Love with caution

How was it possible that a man could be so good-looking? There were plenty of handsome and attractive men around Heather, but no one had attracted her the way Matthias did.Thinking that she might not be able to see this tender, attractive face of his in the future made her feel horrible. What a greedy woman she was; did she desire to own the whole world? Unfortunately, his world would have nothing to do with her soon. She didn’t have the guts to open her eyes wide as it would be harder to let him go after seeing him clearly.On the other hand, Matthias had been keeping her company by her bedside all this while. He had even turned off his phone so that he could take care of her without any distractions. Besides, he wouldn’t want any potential noise to disturb her.If it wasn’t fated that they met, it must be a sin. The strong wind was blowing outside the window. As she listened to the sound, she was getting more and more anxious. The weather outside sounded as bad as she felt right no

Awkwardness

The door was pushed open from the outside. At once, Matthias noticed the dark circles around Leon’s eyes as it was rare to see him in such a worn-out state.At this moment, the two men stared at each other, trying to guess the situation of their respective opponents. It seemed that both of them had already sensed that they were hiding secrets from each other. The thing was, those secrets were all related to Heather. Because of her, both Matthias and Leon weren’t themselves anymore. Wasn’t it weird that she had such a powerful effect?At times, Leon would wonder whether she was the woman of his dreams or a witch. Having thought about it for some time, all he could come up with was that he didn’t dare to imagine a life without her.“You’re here early today,” Leon said casually with a cheeky smile on his face.Matthias offered him a smile in response too, but his mood was hard to read. “I’ve been here all night.” It was like a declaration of ownership rights just for Leon to hear.With a
