Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 587

Heather watched in relief as Everly gave a slight nod. Given her current lack of experience, it was

considered not bad for her to have such an understanding of the matter.

Seeing how happy Everly was when she left reminded Heather of her past self. At that time, she also

had such simple and pure longing.

Back then, she probably didn’t think that she could become such a person. After being confused for so

long, it seemed like she could see the future in a glance.

When she saw others being constantly on the move with their lives, Heather felt an inexplicable sense

of envy, as she felt that it was a wonderful thing to have goals and ideals.

When she first returned to Bradfort City, she had a clear goal in mind, but now, she was getting more

and more confused. Am I really going to continue down this path?

Suddenly, her phone rang at this untimely moment. Heather thought it was Myra calling, so she quickly

retrieved her phone, but the caller turned out to be Matthias.

She didn’t expect that he would be so stubborn. Seeing that Heather didn’t answer his calls, he sent

her a message.

‘I’m in front of the Langston Residence’s entrance. Are you sure you don’t want to come out and see

me?’ Matthias came because he couldn’t be at ease. Heather’s ‘I miss you’ made him soft and filled his

heart with affection, so he couldn’t wait to see her.

Irritated, Heather pulled open the curtains, wanting to see if she could see Matthias. However, she

forgot that this was the second floor, so she couldn’t see the entrance.

It seemed that she had to go down. Matthias always had a way to enter the Langston Residence, so

she figured she might as well let him in on her own.

When Heather went to meet Matthias, she was wearing her simplest and most comfortable clothes,

and she was barefaced. Today, she wasn’t in any particular mood, so she didn’t put on any exquisite

makeup.

Waiting quietly outside the door, Matthias leaned against the car. Then, he saw his sweetheart

approaching, with only a door between them.

“Why didn’t you just come in?” Heather asked through the door.

“I was waiting for you. Just one glance at you is enough.” Matthias didn’t plan to enter the Langston

Residence. Every time he went in, he would bring Heather trouble, so it was better for him not to go in.

“You’re nuts,” Heather muttered disdainfully, when in fact, she felt quite happy. Matthias finally knew

how to be considerate of her, as him not going in would indeed make things less difficult for her.

The Langston Family had already come to the tacit agreement that Heather was dating Matthias.

Although Heather might have such plans in the future, she wasn’t currently dating him, so she didn’t

want others to gossip.

“So, you’re really inviting me in?” Matthias decided to tease Heather.

“Don’t. I’ll come out,” Heather answered with a smile. She couldn’t possibly be so heartless. Besides,

this was real life, not a drama, so why should they talk with the door between them?

To Matthias, this was an unexpected joy. After opening the door, Heather walked toward him. They

were only a few steps away, but he seemed to be using up a lifetime’s worth of his tender gaze to

enclose every inch of Heather’s body.

“You look like you were going to gobble me up,” Heather joked. Today, Matthias was looking at her with

a strange look, so she wondered what he was thinking about.

“Yeah, I want to eat you. I can’t wait to swallow you whole.” Matthias longed to spend his entire life with

her. This feeling was getting increasingly stronger, so how was he supposed to restrain himself?

“Hmph!” Heather grunted and didn’t respond to him. It seems like Matthias is being insatiable again.

This guy is really…

“Heather, since you’re already out here, why don’t we go for a spin?” Matthias realized that he had

turned into a hooligan after he saw Heather. At first, he just wanted to take one glance, but now, he was

greedy and wanted her attention to last a little longer.

“I’m not dressed for that. I’m afraid tomorrow’s headline would be, ‘The President of the Locke Group

Meets His New Lover in Secret’.” A faint smile appeared on Heather’s face, and she was seemingly

amused with herself.

Matthias smiled as well. “That’s quite a good headline.” He never knew that Heather had such a

humorous side.

“Women don’t go out without makeup,” Heather continued, her expression serious.

“You look good without makeup. No matter what, you’re always the most attractive one.” Matthias

turned on his complimenting mode as he just wanted to praise Heather. At the same time, he was

proud of his taste for choosing such an attractive woman.

“Forget it! Myra said that I look like I’m eighteen without makeup.” Heather patted her face playfully.

Although it was a joke, she did look relatively young without makeup and wasn’t exactly imposing.

Many times, Heather would inadvertently mention Myra. It seemed like Myra currently occupied a

unique position in her heart.

Matthias believed that he had a long way to go, and he didn’t know when he would be able to surpass

Myra’s position in Heather’s heart.

“Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there. If you’re worried about being followed by reporters, then

we’ll just go for a spin. We don’t need to get out of the car.” Matthias was reluctant to leave Heather. He

kept his eyes glued to her, refusing to avert his gaze for even a moment.

“That’s boring. I don’t like going for drives. Not to mention, it’s windy today. I’d get blown silly.”

Heather’s hair was dancing in the wind. Holding onto the ends of her hair, she laughed like a teenage

girl.

“You just keep on refusing me. Do you not want to spend time with me?” In order to avoid suspicion,

Matthias maintained a distance with Heather. After all, they were at the entrance of the Langston

Residence, so they couldn’t be too intimate. Otherwise, Heather would definitely be unhappy.

“You have to give me a reason that will arouse my interest. Otherwise, don’t try to trick me into going

out.” Heather raised an eyebrow and gave Matthias a wide grin. Looking at him greatly improved her

mood.

Heather was unaware of these subtle changes. Little did she know, her heart had started to sway, and

she was also somewhat reluctant to let Matthias leave.

That was why she was so willing to chat with Matthias in front of the Langston Residence, as well as

why she was so interested in his suggestion to go out for a drive.

If at this moment, Heather had on makeup, she wouldn’t hesitate to get into the passenger seat of

Matthias’ car.

With no makeup on, Heather truly didn’t feel like going out. She didn’t want the media to expose her

bare face. After all, the media had been keeping a tight watch on her and Matthias.

“I’m a little stupid, so I can’t think of anything that will pique your interest,” Matthias replied after giving it

some thought. His various reasons didn’t manage to get her interested in the past, so he didn’t know

what other excuses he could use.

“I’ll go back in, then.” Heather was truly speechless. He was really clueless when it came to

relationships, and the way he pursued her was old-fashioned and clumsy.

“Do you remember the tea house we went to?” Matthias finally thought of a good place to go to, and

thought that perhaps Heather would be willing to go.

“I won’t agree to it. I don’t want people I know seeing me without makeup.” Heather called Matthias a

fool in her mind. Of all places, he had to think of that tea house. He’s really so stupid.

“I see.” Matthias inwardly chided himself for being so foolish. How could I forget about it? How had it

not occurred to me yet that Heather didn’t want to go out because she didn’t have on any makeup?

“Then, I’ll bring you to a book bar,” Matthias said. He had been to a book bar before, and the

environment was rather decent. Moreover, he figured that Heather liked to read.

“You want to bring me to a book bar?” Heather asked with a smile. Only Matthias would think of a place

like that! To have a date at a book bar, there would be pretty much no communication except for

reading, as it was such a quiet place.

“Do you not want to?” Matthias peered apprehensively at her, hoping that she wouldn’t refuse.

“It’s not that.” Slightly raising her eyebrows, she took one step closer to Matthias.

“That’s a yes, then.” Matthias finally smiled. To put it simply, Heather was really hard to please, so it

was unexpected that a book bar had caught her attention.

“If they don’t have the type of books I read, I’ll leave immediately.” Heather didn’t forget to threaten him

so as to give him a little pressure.

“Don’t worry. I have faith in that book bar,” Matthias answered, full of confidence. At this moment,

coaxing her into the car was more important.

“There’s another condition.” Before getting into the car, Heather stopped short, then turned to look at

Matthias. The two of them were so close that it was as if they were going to be in each other’s arms in

the next second.

“Hmm?” Matthias stared curiously at her, not knowing what condition Heather was going to propose.

“No one can take pictures of me without makeup. You can make sure of that, right, Director Locke?”

Heather was seemingly giving Matthias a challenge, but she believed that with his abilities, this matter

should be easy to handle.

“I promise you. I won’t let anyone take pictures of how amazing you look now.” Matthias didn’t forget to

tease her while giving her an answer. All he wanted was to use every pleasant word there was to

describe her.

“You’ve been quite the sweet talker lately. Evan must’ve taught you.” Matthias’ sweet words were

somewhat deliberate, and his demeanor wasn’t exactly calm when he complimented her, so she was

certain that Matthias had learned all this from Evan.

“You don’t like it?” Matthias thought that she would.

“There’s no woman who doesn’t like hearing nice things,” Heather stated as she got into the passenger

seat. Just as she sat down, she continued, “And I’m no exception.”

Hearing this, Matthias figured that Heather was praising him in disguise, and only then did he turn back

in his seat with satisfaction.

What a good day. Heather had become so gentle, so Matthias hoped that everything would go well

later and that Heather would continue being in this state. Matthias looked profoundly at Heather,

completely unable to focus his eyes elsewhere.

Heather turned his face away. “I’m not what you’re supposed to be looking at. Drive properly.”

Taking in his boyish appearance, Heather felt an indescribable sense of fondness. At this moment, she

wanted nothing more than to snuggle in his arms.

Surprised by her own thoughts, she felt that she was getting greedier, so much so that she actually

wanted to take her relationship with Matthias one step further.

Heather didn’t understand what was going on with her. This wasn’t like her at all. Is this what it feels

like for my heart to flutter?

She studied Matthias, wanting to engrave his current look in her mind. At present, she felt extremely

lucky to have met him.

“What books do you usually read?” Matthias cut to the chase, since they had never talked about this NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

before.

“Take a guess.” Heather wasn’t going to tell him directly.

Matthias couldn’t understand why girls liked to say that. If it were someone else, he would’ve shot the

person a glare, but the person in question now was Heather.

Since Matthias was silent for a long time, Heather said, “You’re taking me to the Aoki Book Bar, right?”
