Do you know?

Hearing that, Heather forced a smile. Of course, she wouldn’t buy Leon’s words—he must have been dawdling out there.“This is too much! She wouldn’t be able to finish it.” Matthias was disturbed hearing Leon’s words. Since when is he so good at pleasing Heather?Leon grinned. “It’s okay to waste. Just throw it away if you can’t finish it.”Seeing Leon’s cheeky face, Matthias suspected Leon and Heather were keeping something from him as he felt the atmosphere between the two had changed.Initially, Heather was feeling a little hungry, but she had instantly lost her appetite when she saw Leon bring in so much food.“I’m already full just by seeing these,” Heather said in a disgusted manner.Leon feigned a sad look. Any other girl would be touched but only Heather would take his kind intention for granted.“Have some porridge.” Matthias took a bowl of porridge. Porridge would be more suitable for Heather because it was friendly to one’s stomach.However, Heather shook her head. “I don’t

Leon actually rejected Heather

Matthias felt disappointed after hearing Heather’s question. It turned out that to Heather, his love for her wasn’t genuine. Since Heather thought of him as such, there was nothing else he would like to say either.“Heather, it seems that I’ve overestimated myself,” Matthias said with a cold smile. He had overestimated Heather’s feelings toward him.Should he have known that Heather’s feelings toward him were merely mediocre, he wouldn’t have kept having wishful thoughts. Staring at Heather, Matthias felt like he barely knew her.Heather remained silent as she could perceive the disappointment in Matthias’ gaze. In fact, she was extremely disappointed in herself too. She felt as if she had been messing up her own life since a long time ago.“If you insist that Leon will be able to bring you happiness, I wish you all the best in the future.” Matthias solemnly gave up. Since Heather had already driven him into a corner, there was no point for him to continue persisting anymore.There wa

Addicted to being a backup

Not knowing what Heather was up to this time, Leon looked at her doubtfully and had a hunch that she was up to no good. Heather didn’t want to continue hiding things from Leon, so she told him the whole story while he stared at her in a daze as he listened to her explanation.“Heather, I can’t believe you’ll actually do such a thing.” Leon couldn’t understand her at all. Despite the close relationship between Heather and Robert, she shouldn’t use her marriage as a means to fulfill her filial obligations.“I don’t want Grandpa to die with regrets.” Heather thought about the past. Although she had contributed a lot to the Langstons, what Robert had given her was even more.The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. Robert was already on the brink of death, and yet she hadn’t properly repaid his kindness.“Heather, since you care for your grandfather so much, why don’t you go and find some renowned doctors? Maybe some of them will be able to save him.” Leon just couldn’t co

I have no interest in the video

Having gone through the check-up, Heather and Leon returned to the hospital room. They could do nothing else but wait for the laboratory report, and the boredom that ensued led them both to start scrolling through their respective phones. Heather, in particular, did not look like she had come to terms with being a patient.“Hey, since you’re bored, why don’t you join me for a round of video games?” Leon suggested in an effort to persuade Heather to play video games.“I don’t like League of Legends,” she replied. She had never shown much interest in the video games he played.“No, no, we aren’t playing League of Legends; we’re playing Honor of Kings. Are you interested?” Leon quipped cheerily, as he had recently become a fan of Honor of Kings.Heather narrowed her eyes at him. She truly had little to no interest in video games, but it seemed as though he was rather persistent, so she decided to try her hand at a round or two for the fun of it. In reality, he was angling to pull her int

Emotional outlet

It took one look from Matthias to send Nikolai running. There was always a murderous gleam in his eyes whenever he was in one of his moods. If looks could kill, then Matthias could be a mercenary if he weren’t already a businessman.Now that he was left alone in his office once more, Matthias dived back into work. He knew that Nikolai and Lara only wanted to make sure he was alright, but he simply could not be bothered with their kindness right now.His heart twisted bitterly at the thought of Heather becoming someone else’s woman. He was sure that he was on par with, if not better, than the likes of Leon, so why did she choose to be with the latter instead?He knew that it was not in Heather’s nature to be impulsive, which meant she had put a lot of thought into this before finally making a decision. This only added more weight to Matthias’ mind, and the more he dwelled on this, the worse he felt. He couldn’t come to terms with the fact that she had fallen for someone else.It had on

Getting a drunk by choice

The already fidgety Matthias became even more fretful when he saw the sight, as he didn’t have this kind of fetish. Gazing at the ladies, whose skin had reddened from the coldness, he wondered who had come up with this idea. Nevertheless, he didn’t have the heart to chase them away, as he wasn’t so stone-hearted.“Evan, I need an explanation from you.” Matthias stared at him with a dark expression. He wanted to know why Evan took him here.While enjoying the company of a beautiful lady, Evan replied to him, “It’s all made-to-order. Just like playing a game, you can choose whoever you prefer to play poker with you. Since you’ve said you want to get drunk, I’ve told them to prepare a box of wine for us. There are all sorts of flavors, so I’m sure you’ll be happy with it.” Evan flashed a grin at him.After he finished speaking, someone was heard knocking on the door from outside. Evan looked at the door and uttered, “Come in.”Following that, a burly man stepped into the room with a box

She’s ether, not Heather

In order to prevent Matthias from doing anything embarrassing, Evan quickly lugged him away. Meanwhile, Ether appeared reluctant to see him go. Seeing that, Evan was displeased, as he didn’t expect that Matthias could win her heart so easily. He had heard that Ether was an icy beauty, and she had hardly taken a liking to any man. Therefore, it had never crossed his mind that she’d fall for Matthias.Unfortunately, she was Ether, and not Heather, after all. Matthias loved Heather and no one else. Evan shot a pitiful glance at Ether, who had just lost her love crush. At that instant, he recalled the woman he had fallen in love with at first glance in the past. The person who fell in love first in any relationship was destined to get hurt. Love was the unfairest thing in this world, as it wasn’t an exchange of equal values. Perhaps one might think that they had given all they had, but to the other party, it was nothing more than trouble.Evan supported Matthias’ weight with difficulty. A

Be Heather

Ether contained her anxiety and muttered, “Matthias.”Matthias heard a woman calling for him in a confused state. He couldn’t tell who it was, yet he hoped it was Heather. For some reason, he still had some sense of rationality despite being intoxicated. In fact, he had a feeling that the person calling his name wasn’t the woman he loved. After all, Matthias still remembered that Heather was currently at the hospital. He desperately wanted to visit her, but he had no courage to do so.After fumbling around for a bit, Ether eventually got to Matthias. In the dark room, she felt the need to take the initiative this time to do what she once desired to.When Matthias previously walked away from her, she thought that was the end for the both of them. From then on, she regretted being a coward and for not taking the opportunity when they were both alone.“It’s me, Ether.” Nonetheless, she couldn’t bring herself to lie since she was Ether and not Heather. At that moment, she was truly enviou

Fire off chest

Matthias attempted to chase after Ether moments later, but she was already far gone. With his pajamas on and a messy hair, he looked rather chaotic.After giving Evan a threatening glance, he then ordered, “Bring her back. She hasn’t even put her shoes on.” After all, Matthias felt that he was also at fault and could not just let Ether go without apologizing.However, Evan thought it was better not to chase after her. From his understanding of Matthias, the man didn’t like to owe anyone. Although he didn’t like being intimate with women, there was still a sense of chivalry in him.With Ether’s departure this time, it would make Matthias even more guilty. In other words, it would secure a follow-up meeting for the two of them.Evan was obviously reluctant to go after her, so he said to Matthias, “She’s far gone, sir. There’s no way we can catch up to her.”Since he didn’t want to go out the house with his pajamas on, he could only gaze at Evan and perturbedly uttered, “I really hate it

Nikolai, you dumbass

With that, Matthias watched as Lara turned around and left. Deep down, he knew Lara bore no ill intent and was well aware that she was being taken advantage of. However, he didn’t know why she would act this way and fall in love with him so painstakingly.There were many secrets he noticed yet didn’t know well about, but he chose not to look into it because the truth behind such things were often too trivial for him to put his mind into.When Nikolai saw Lara walking out of Matthias’ office with her face full of tears, he was instantly reminded of the time she had just started working for their boss.When he saw how her tears fell so profusely, he hurried over to comfort her, certain that Matthias must have rebuked her.“Did the president scold you, Lara?” Nikolai was clueless about what happened inside earlier, and he just wanted to cheer her up.“No, he didn’t.” Despite her attempt to hold back her tears, they wouldn’t stop dripping down. Perhaps she wasn’t as strong as she imagined
