Chapter 512
After walking out of the study, Robert asked Heather to do something that she enjoyed. She thought
about the date with Matthias and wanted to seek an answer from Robert’s eyes, but she could only see
exhaustion, so she left him alone.
She had no idea what came to her in the morning until she canceled her date with Matthias. If she
could turn back time, she should have merely postponed it. Feeling troubled, she opened her
Messenger and clicked on his chat bubble even though she had no idea how to exin it to him.
‘Do you have time to meet me now?’
She quickly finished typing a simple reply, but she did not send it out.
After thinking about it, Heather deleted the message, thinking that it was perhaps not that appropriate
to be so direct with him. Looking at the message she sent in the morning, she did not feel too happy
about it.
‘It’s the Lantern Festival today and I have some family business to attend to. Why don’t we meet
another day?’
She slightly regretted her decision to send the message. Why did I ask him to reschedule to another
day? I can make it for the date, but everything is in a mess now.
Apart from that, Heather still had not received a reply from him up until now. It made her feel even more
ufortable because she had been so worried about Caleb’s arrival that she forgot to take note of
that.
Judging from his character, Matthias would not ignore her message. Since he still had not replied to her
message, she was afraid that he could be furious with her.
However, she had no idea that he immediately drove to the Langston Residence because of his
disappointment. Yet, he was shamelessly turned down. When he returned to his ce and saw the
message again, he felt even more furious and deleted his previous chat history with Heather to avoid
being troubled by it.
While Heather was still hesitating, Matthias felt resentful as he thought about the possibility of
continuing to like her. Evan kept reassuring him, but Matthias did not cheer up whatsoever as if what he
experienced was a great blow.
“Why don’t you try sending her a message? Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding.” Upon hearing what
Matthias experienced at the Langston Residence, Evan advised as such. After all, he had no idea why
Matthias was so resentful about it.
“It can’t be a misunderstanding. It’s just like what you told me earlier—women are unpredictable. She
was just trying to calm me down yesterday, but she has no intention to meet me in person,” Matthias
confidently predicted. This time around, he looked like he was about to throw in the towel.
“You just have to keep trying. You can’t give up at this point.” Upon seeing Matthias’ fury, Evan gave
some words of encouragement for the fear that Matthias would do something rash.
“Perhaps it was a mistake to court Heather.” As he soaked his entire body in the spa, he held a wine
ss in his hands and gulped its entire contents.
“You must believe in your own judgement. It’s a difficult thing to court a girl and such problems are to
be expected.” Evan started to give positive advice again. To him, it was not a big deal, but the incident
had started to hurt Matthias’ pride.
“She directly knocked her car into mine yesterday, so her hatred toward me must have reached the
peak. I don’t think it’s possible for us to continue anymore.” Matthias insisted on his thoughts. Once he
recalled that incident, he felt the pain stabbing in his heart. Just how much does she hate me, seeing
her attempt to kill both of us together?
At that, Evan had no idea how to continue to motivate him anymore. Indeed, even Evan did not expect
that Heather would do such a thing.
He had not met such a ‘passionate’ woman who would risk her own life to reject her admirers.
However, there could be a problem with the way Matthias had conveyed his feelings.
“What exactly happenedst night? No matter how much she dislikes you, I don’t think it would reach
the extent of running her car into yours. She’s going to risk her life to reject you?” Evan asked rather
gleefully. As soon as he imagined that situation, he could not hold back fromughing out loud. After
all, it was quite a vivid imagination and the situation was ratherical as well.
Matthias clenched the wine ss in his hands with a savage expression on his face. Evan had indeed
triggered him this time around.
Hence, Evan quickly stopped smiling and changed his tone to a more serious one. “I think your
perception might be too rigid. Before you could even confess your feelings to her, she has already
knocked into your car, so it can’t be considered as her rejecting you.” This exnation seemed pretty
logical and he thought his deduction made sense.
However, Matthias shot Evan a re. The more Evan spoke, the more it seemed peculiar. “What you
mean to say is that she already wants to knock me down before I can even confess my feelings to her.
If I really confess to her, will she run me over with a tanker instead?”
Matthias’ sudden question immediately made Evan break into fits ofughter. Is this one of his cold
jokes? As Matthias’ words had painted a vivid imagery, Evan could not help butugh out loud as he
imagined Heather running him over in a tanker.
Matthias was so angry that he threw his wine ss at Evan. “What’s so funny about it?” Apanying
his words was the sound of ss breaking into pieces.
Even though it did not hurt Evan, hisughter immediately froze. If I continue tough, Matthias might
go berserk and even slice me apart with his knife.
“Calm down. I promise I will be serious this time,” he said defeatedly as he was worried that Matthias
would throw the wine bottle at him next.
“Miss Langston said that she is going to postpone the date to another time. That shows that you still
have a chance. Perhaps something cropped up at the Langston Family today. Didn’t you think about
this?” In Evan’s opinion, Matthias had already lost his cool. Not only was he irritable and violent, his
thoughts were quite illogical as well.
“Something cropped up?” Matthias had indeed not considered this possibility. “What could have
happened to them?” he asked in confusion, but he was already thinking about it.
“Are you asking me to wait for her update?” He ignored his question about the Langston Family
because all that mattered to him was Heather herself.
“It’s better if you take the initiative. Why don’t you ask her about the date she wants to postpone it to?
Surely, there must be a fixed time!” Evan continued to convince Matthias after he found out that
Matthias was an idiot when it came to courting girls.
“Impossible. I will not talk to her anymore,” Matthias spoke angrily. He had already personally looked
for her, but he was coldly rejected. That had hurt his pride and he felt that it was impossible for him to
take the initiative again. I haven’t stooped this low.
“My dear director, it’s not the time to throw tantrums. You have to be more thick-skinned and patient

when you are courting girls.” Evan started to slowly convince him again.
“It’s impossible this time around. Since she has already said that she wants to postpone it, she has to
to ask her?” When Matthias became stubborn, he would not listen to any advice from anyone else.
“If you want to continue with your stubborn thinking, I have no other suggestions for you. Just don’t
regret your decision in the future,” Evan spoke in a slightly threatening tone.
“I’ve already invested different feelings and effort for her on top of being immensely patient and thick-
skinned. If this is still not enough, I guess we are just not a good match for each other. No one is to
me if we can’t get together in the end.” Even though Matthias seemed reasonable, it was possible
that what he said was just all words. After all, it was highly unlikely that he was not disappointed and
could easily ept the fact that he could not be with Heather.
“Yes, that’s a great way of putting it. I’m d that you can think of it this way. After all, it’s not a big deal
if you can’t be with Miss Langston. There are many girls who fancy you.” Evan smiled as he tried to
motivate Matthias again.
Matthias merely raised an eyebrow. After the conversation with Evan, he felt better and his anger was
almost abated.
However, in the end, he refused to message her first. This time around, he waited for her toe to
him. If she really did not want to meet him, it showed that they were not meant for each other.
Sometimes, one would need the reply from the other party in a rtionship—just like Matthias and his
stubbornness at this moment. However, Heather was also quite conflicted. After she walked out of the
Langston Residence, she had no idea where else she could head to.
After she walked around, she decided to visit Leon. Even though she had informed Matthias that they
would rain check their date to another time, it didn’t mean that they needed to meet today.
Now that she was having mixed feelings, she guessed that she would end up having a fight with
Matthias if they met now. Hence, it was better for her to speak to Leo at this moment. At the very least,
he would try to cheer her up instead of giving her more troubles like Matthias.
More importantly, she wanted Leon to investigate the background of a specific person for her as she
was quite worried. It was better to understand the opponent in order to win the battle.
After she arrived at his apartment, she saw him lying on the couch without caring about his image as
he was having fun on a mobile game.
“It’s impolite for you to barge into my ce without even knocking,” Leonined. Whenever he
was free, he would y a game that he had just downloaded.
Heather had the spare key to his apartment, so that she could easily visit him. However, it was indeed
too abrupt. She ought to have at least knocked so that he was mentally prepared for a visitor.
“I will definitely remember to knock the next time around.” She sat down opposite him. Upon seeing his
“You wouldn’t havee if you didn’t have a favor to ask. Shoot away. What do you want?” Leon knew
that Heather had a favor to ask of him after he nced at her.
“The data that you gave me was extremely useful, so I’m here to thank you. See, I’ve even brought you
a present to show my appreciation.” Heather pointed at a bag of fresh vegetables on a table not far
away from them.
“Wow, you really are cooking a meal for me!” he said with excitement as he jumped up from the couch
and paused the game.
“Look at how excited you are. It’s just a meal. I can even make a few more meals for you.” Upon seeing
her wide smile, Leon was immediately vignt.
“Sure enough, you have something to ask from me. I was just wondering why you would quickly carry
out your promise.” He was already familiar with her tactics.
Heather continued her wide beam. After all, it was always better to ask for help with a smile on her
face. However, her smile had made Leon slightly fearful. After a while, he waved his hands and spoke
seriously, “If you have something to tell me, shoot away. Don’t keep smiling like this. You are only
scaring me.”
Upon hearing Leon’s words, Heather immediately retracted her smile and spoke to him with a straight
face. “I just wanted to ask you to look a person up for me.” He felt quite amused after seeing how
quickly she had changed her attitude.
“You want me to do another background check for you?” Leon did not like to be a hacker, so he looked
at her with a frown on his face.
“Please? Can you please help me out?” Heather looked at him with her wide eyes and broke all her
rules by acting cute. He could only obediently listen to her instructions after being at the receiving end
of such a powerful ‘attack’ from her.
“So, where is the guy from this time around?” Leon asked in exasperation. Sooner orter, I would
probablynd into heaps of troubles because of her!
