A loving heart

As far as she could remember, Nikolai was always a bashful one; she had never seen him so fearless, but was that a good thing? Despite feeling a little touched, she thought that it wasn’t right for him to behave as such right now.Nikolai immediately hung up on her, and Lara didn’t know if she should leave or wait for him right now. She tried phoning him again but he didn’t pick up the call, and that made her somewhat anxious.The waiting process seemed like an eternity, and the minutes Lara spent waiting for him felt like years instead. Nikolai was still nowhere to be found, but looking for him wasn’t a choice since she was afraid she might miss him.Eventually, Lara headed to the elevator and waited for the man. If he were to look for her at the underground parking lot, he would have to reach there by the elevator. Hence, she patiently anticipated his arrival.The display indicated that the elevator had reached the third floor, which meant that it was only a matter of seconds before

He was not a loner

It had been a long time since Lara had been described as a little girl, but she didn’t let her reaction show. Nikolai probably had no idea that his casual remark was making her heart race like crazy.He had always been a dim little boy in Lara’s eyes; she knew that she was no match for Matthias, and she understood that there was a certain distance between her and Nikolai as well.All of a sudden, Lara felt a little miserable—was there no other man left for her in this world? Why did she have to waste her time on this pair of cousins? At that moment, Lara couldn’t help but criticize herself for her poor choices.“You’re the one who’s acting like a little boy, Nikolai. It feels like you’ll never grow up,” Lara replied. Her words stunned him momentarily, and he had the urge to refute her claims.“Are you saying that I’m still a child?” Nikolai seemed quite unhappy with her opinion, for he had clearly improved tremendously in the past few years. Thus, he was unsatisfied to hear that from

All will have a fresh start

The car sped along the highway. As it passed through a tunnel, Heather’s face appeared vaguely before Matthias’s eyes. Matthias hated such a hallucination, so he sped up the car and quickly passed through the tunnel. The lights inside made him feel very uncomfortable, and he felt sick as scenes about Heather kept popping up in his mind. He tried his best to shake off such a state of mind since there were many other things he needed to accomplish. Hence, he couldn’t be completely under Heather’s control since now wasn’t the right time to be wrapped up in a relationship.There wasn’t much distance left between Matthias and Caliph Nightclub after he passed through the tunnel, and he tried his best to recognize the signs around him as Caliph Nightclub was hidden among them. As his car slowly drove in, he found the nightclub with his sharp eyes. Then, he parked his car in front of it with a half-smile. Who would’ve thought this was such a place by looking from the outside? The place looked

I reject your resignation

As the cold breeze brushed against Lara, she shrunk her neck upon feeling the chilly sensation. When Nikolai saw that, he took off his coat and put it over her.“The weather’s so weird! Maybe we shouldn’t stay too long out here.” Having given up his coat, Nikolai was prone to the assault of the cold.“Yeah.” Although she was reluctant to leave, it wouldn’t be wise to stay out any longer.“If you like it here, we can come over anytime we want, Lara.” Nikolai saw her reluctance and smiled at the woman, offering to keep her company the next time they came.Since having company was indeed welcomed, Lara nodded her head in agreement, feeling Nikolai was getting more and more pleasant. Now that she had the opportunity to assiduously observe him, she realized that he was rather outstanding. In fact, she wondered why she had never seen him in such a light before.“Don’t stare at me like that. You’re making me self-conscious.” Nikolai got curious about what she was peering at and touched his o

A good chat

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Natalia could sense Matthias’ discomfort, and she began thinking about how she should ease the current awkwardness here upon seeing this.“Let’s sit down and have a good chat, Director Locke,” she then suggested, knowing that Matthias would not be leaving any time soon.When he noticed how Natalia voluntarily shifted the conversation away, the words that were stuck in his throat didn’t seem important anymore. Instantly, he let out a breath. He had no idea if Natalia had picked up on his thoughts, but he felt at ease right now.Matthias didn’t feel pressured around Natalia, and he didn’t need to think about filtering his words. In fact, he quite liked this carefree feeling. If love weighed people down, was there any real need to continue?“Okay,” Matthias immediately agreed. Things couldn’t get any better than this.Similarly, Natalia also hoped that he would stay a little longer. She knew that there was a KFC nearby which was on the cleaner side. T

I miss you

There weren’t many other people at the State Science Center at this hour. Meanwhile, it was also Natalia’s first time here. Back when Matthias had asked Heather out, he would always decide on places that she liked. With other women, he didn’t think too much about it.Natalia surveyed the place curiously. She was only in her early twenties after all, and since she was still a young woman, she had a strong sense of curiosity. Moreover, she felt that the place was extraordinarily fascinating since Matthias was the one who had asked her to come with him—this was probably how the mind of a person in love worked.“Do you find all of this boring?” Matthias turned to ask Natalia, to which she shook her head. She always ended up shy whenever she was with him, and it was to the extent that she didn’t dare to look Matthias in the eye.“It’s all very interesting.” Natalia didn’t forget to emphasize that.Matthias smiled since he was pleased to hear this. “As long as you’re having fun.” He had bee

On a trip to see the family

Heather put on a jacket and quietly got down from the bed. Then, she went up to the window and admired the moon outside. The full moon was bright and yellow tonight, and it almost seemed as though she could see Matthias’ face printed on it.The latter seemed to be everywhere she looked these days, and Heather felt like she could go crazy from these hallucinations. In fact, she had much better things to do, so why was her mind occupied by these romantic affairs instead?In Heather’s eyes, Matthias had the handsomest face which was incomparable to any man on earth—his good looks were precisely the type that could make her heart flutter.Sadly, she only felt deeply attached to him after she left. Could Matthias also be thinking about her right now? Was it the best decision for them to break up like this?It was already 2.00AM when Heather returned to her bed, and she still had to wake up early the next morning to drive. According to rumors, there was an incredible physician who dwelled i

The village by the hillside

The scenery outside was indeed quite beautiful, and Leon’s attention was shifted toward the view in an instant. Nonetheless, it wasn’t a good idea for him to admire the view whilst driving.Just then, the car plunged straight into a pothole. It wasn’t unusual for a narrow and muddy road on the hills to be filled with unmended pits and holes, though. Heather and Leon got down from the car, and it seemed like a jeep would’ve definitely been more suitable for this trip.“Thank you so much for your suggestion, Heather.” Leon made sarcastic remarks while the former stood by his side.Heather didn’t feel like responding at all. Without taking a look at Leon, she made a call on her phone immediately. Leon could only sulk in his own words when he realized that he was being completely ignored.After Heather put down her phone, he came up to her again. She glanced at him and said, “Someone will take care of this later.”Leon turned to Heather in confusion, for he wasn’t quite sure what she mean

A strategic plan was needed

The two of them shared uncomfortable looks, for they’d never faced a situation as awkward as this. What could they do now, though? Meanwhile, Heather noticed the old woman’s resentment toward them as well, so she pulled Leon to the side immediately. It seemed like they’d run into quite an ancient village today.“I don’t think we’re welcomed here, Leon.” Heather lowered her voice since she wasn’t sure if the villagers could understand them.Leon blinked a few times; he was unsure as well, but he had a feeling that the villagers were extremely unfriendly toward them. Leon tried to think of a way to solve the issue at hand, but he couldn’t come up with any good ideas even after racking his brains.“Do you have any solutions in mind?” Heather assumed that Leon had already found an answer, for his eyes were darting left and right.“No, but why don’t we go deeper inside?” Leon felt that it wouldn’t help to keep being surrounded by these groups of people, and it’d be better to continue the s

A long cabin with a spoon

Fortunately, no one knew Heather and Leon in this remote and backward place, so the latter felt less embarrassed. Sometimes, it was perhaps Heather’s manlike behavior that struck a chord with him.The boy went straight into the forest, but Heather smelled that strange fragrance before they entered. She frowned and didn’t feel like going in, but the boy turned around and seemed to have noticed her hesitation. He pointed in a direction and said to her, “Dr. Turner lives in the woods.”“Why doesn’t he stay with everyone else?” Heather was somewhat perplexed, for this Dr. Turner seemed quite reclusive.The boy shook his head. “Dr. Turner prefers to live in seclusion. If someone in the village falls ill, they’ll go to him.”The boy looked inconspicuous in front of Heather, but he didn’t seem like a boy that was easy to deal with since his words were very measured. “Okay,” Heather replied casually as her mind wandered. She wondered what methods she should use to convince Dr. Turner later.A
