A difficult problem

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-22 19:12:24

It’s hard to talk about? Myra’s heart sank, because Heather never described anything that way. She shot Heather a look, telling her to keep talking.

“How does it feel to love someone?” Heather asked after much hesitation. She didn’t know how it felt to love someone, nor did she know how to fall for someone.

Myra shot her a look of surprise. “You have a crush?” That was the only reason for that question; at least, that was the only one she could think of.

Heather shook her head. “No. But I don’t dislike him either. It’s a weird feeling.” Heather looked confused, because even she couldn’t understand the relationship between her and Matthias.

Myra stared at her in disbelief. At that moment, she needed Heather to be completely honest with her, or she wouldn’t be able to give her any good advice. “Why’d you ask that question then?” Myra wasn’t about to be fooled. Obviously, she could see that Heather was going through something special in her life, and she could think of nothing else but r

    She’s hesitating again. Guess I have to ramp up the intensity. It wasn’t every day Heather would talk about her relationship problems, so Myra wanted to teach her everything at once. “You’re still hiding something from me?” Myra asked sternly. She had to do that, or Heather wouldn’t cave in.“It happened back in school.” Heather struggled for a moment before finally deciding to come clean. It had been her little secret for too long, and she never told anyone about it. Now that she looked back on it, Heather thought it was a sweet memory, even though the relationship didn’t end well. It did bud, though.She and that young man were two proud individuals. It was the first time Heather came across someone who was so similar that she felt like he was her other half. It was then she started falling for him.Back then, she had just begun studying abroad in Italy, so everything was new and unfamiliar to her. The good thing was that she finally broke free of her family, and back then, she stil

    When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However, she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way. Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure because she could not let Heather continue so.While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra.

  • Standing before love    Finding someone

    The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of

    Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.With a cold huff, Heathe

    Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter

  • Standing before love    No need to do this

    Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe

    In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,

    As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and

    Love could make a woman grow overnight, but it could also change them drastically. Everly could feel her greed overwhelming her after she fell for Caleb. Eventually, she thought it was okay to use Heather as leverage if it meant she could get in touch with Caleb. Everly had been waiting for Caleb’s visit, but he never came. Instead, Matthias showed up.In that case, she wanted to match Matthias up with Heather, since the only way to make Caleb give up on Heather was to get a boyfriend for her. But what Everly didn’t know was that men would never give up on a woman—unless they lost their love for her.It was the first time Robert realized that Everly was no longer the young girl she once was. And then he made the same mistake as Heather—Robert thought Everly was falling for Matthias. But no matter what Everly had in mind, Heather and Robert would not let it go on. Subsequently, Heather and Robert exchanged glances.Robert didn’t let Matthias stay after dinner, as he asked Heather to se

    Since Matthias wanted to please Robert, he had no reason to refuse Robert’s offer to stay. Heather grinned at Matthias, since it would be interesting to see how Matthias would act with the Langstons around during dinner.When they came back down, the living room was already wrecked by the kids. They pulled no punches because Robert wasn’t around to control them. The sight shocked Matthias, who had never seen how destructive kids could be, but Heather was already used to it. On the other hand, Robert was dangerously quiet. These kids are getting rowdier. Didn’t see that during my kids’ time. How unbecoming.The kids immediately quieted down when they saw Robert. Heather had a strict upbringing, but the kids were nothing but spoiled brats. Robert was ashamed that Matthias had to see that, but he pretended that nothing had happened, while Heather shot a look at the kids, and they started shivering. I see Heather holds some sway on them, huh?The kids were also scared of Robert, so they q

    It was early in the afternoon. Rays of sunshine shone through the drawn shades, dimly lighting up the study room. The atmosphere at the Langstons was quite lively with the noises of children playing with each other in the lounge. While it was fortunate to be surrounded by so many younger generations, Robert somehow felt that something was amiss.They entered the room and then silently shut the door behind them. Meanwhile, Matthias directed his gaze at Heather, and his eyes blurred together just then. After that, Robert switched on the light and the whole room immediately became illuminated, thereupon Heather’s face appeared clearly in front of Matthias.“Take a seat.” Robert made himself comfortable on a chaise as he invited them to sit, his hands carrying the information provided by Matthias. The former put on his reading glasses because the words on the paper were just too tiny for him to decipher. As for Heather, she casually took a seat on a bronze-colored wooden chair, and to her

    The sound of cars honking from the back brought Heather back to her senses. Meanwhile, Matthias’s voice rang out from the phone next to her ear. It was quite fortunate that he had the patience of a saint and had not hung up the call despite her long silence.Recently, she had become indecisive and found it very hard to say ‘no’. She was no longer as resolute and firm as before. Just then, Matthias sensed her hesitation and cleared his throat. Since she’s not going to respond, then I’d better back off.“If you don’t want to help, I’ll try to find a way by myself.” He had no intention of making things difficult for her. After all, she had always been against the idea of him looking for Myra.After remaining quiet for a long while, she finally replied, “Do you really have to talk things through with Myra? She’s pregnant now, and I don’t want this to affect her pregnancy.” Hearing this, he could tell that she was full of concern for Myra.Although he was not surprised at all by her answer

    This was a sensational piece of news related to the Moriarty Family, and Heather immediately jumped up in excitement upon realizing it. She hastily flicked through the information held in her hands once again while wondering how come she had missed this point as she was quite certain that she had not missed any details before this.“There’s no point in going through that again because that clause isn’t in there.” Leon pointed to his head to indicate that he had already stored all the important information in his mind. He reckoned it was better to be straightforward about this to her.“What other important information do you have? Why don’t you reveal it all in one go?” Heather had no patience to deal with the element of suspense he was trying to create. She wanted to know more, there and then, because the Moriartys had evoked a sense of danger in her.“The Lockes and the Moriartys took hold of Bradfort City, one after the other, and their relationship spans in a complicated pattern li

    In an instant, the atmosphere changed and Paige’s face flushed pink. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she had been influenced by Leon and provided an irrelevant answer. In fact, she had actually made a presentation deck about the proposal for their business start-up, but she had forgotten to bring it along when she came in a hurry.Besides, Paige was not used to discussing serious matters in such a carefree environment. Just as she was about to respond to Heather after recalling the content in her presentation deck, the latter dropped the topic and glanced at her watch before saying to the former, “ It’s almost time. I will send you back to your office.” This time, they had set their meeting during Paige’s lunch break, so they did not have much time left.When Paige was about to present her points, Heather’s sudden reminder caused all that she was about to say to get stuck in her throat. Although she did not like disappointing her boss, she did not even have the

    Sunlight poured into the room, casting long shadows that overlapped one another on the floor. The three of them were quiet for a moment and the atmosphere was a little awkward.“Let’s find a place to sit,” Heather said to Paige next to her, ignoring Leon.After choosing a spot next to the window, she directly went to take a seat while Paige followed her from behind. Leon fiddled with his hair and the corner of his lips curved upward into a resigned smile before he quickly went after them.As Paige sat down next to Heather, Leon took a seat opposite them. For the whole time, his eyes were intermittently glancing at Paige. Heather took in his behaviors and met his gaze in the course, so she was pretty clear of his intention.He had always been interested in beautiful women, especially mature ones. Paige carried the temperament of a mature lady from her head to toe, but what was more uncommon was the sense of abstinence on her.Naturally, a playboy like him could not resist the charm of

    Hours after hours went by; three solid hours had passed before Myra woke up. The hot spring resort operated 24/7, so nobody woke her up. They patiently waited for her to wake up on her own instead.When Myra woke up, she did not remember what had happened before this. All she recalled was that she had bumped into Matthias at the hot spring resort, and everything else that happened after seemed to have faded from her memories. Nevertheless, she simply assumed that her memories were hazy because she was too tired.This was, in fact, good news to both Heather and Tony. It would be for the best that Myra did not remember any of it. At this moment, the awkward atmosphere instantly disappeared and the three of them were back to laughing and chatting around.Although there were still some hard feelings between Heather and Tony, they did not show it in front of Myra. As both of them were good actors, they easily concealed it from her.Myra beamed at them, causing them to ignore the flash of u

    They were in a standoff. As Tony didn’t want to continue to waste his time with Heather here, he gently carried the asleep Myra into his arms. Heather quickly took a towel and covered her with it. Judging from her actions, it was obvious that she really cared for Myra, so she probably had her reasons for hiding the truth from them.Heather seemed natural under Tony’s firm gaze. Since she was able to say aloud in front of Matthias that she shouldn’t be held fully responsible for the incident that happened years ago, there was no need for her to feel guilty toward Myra.She watched as Tony left with Myra. Their initially wonderful trip at the hot spring resort had been ruined, and the culprit was none other than Matthias. She intended to go and look for him, but the latter beat her to it.It had been strange for Heather to stay at the pregnant women’s zone to begin with, but Matthias’ appearance made things worse. It was fortunate that there were no other pregnant women present at that
