Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 552

The atmosphere was a little awkward, causing the smile on Heather’s face to appear a little unnatural,

but Myra merely took it that she was being shy. Completely unaware of the situation, Leon could

neither understand why Heather was smiling so unnaturally nor the deep meaning behind Myra’s smile.

“Are you here to pick out furniture, Myra?” Heather asked casually, trying her best to mask her

awkwardness.

Luckily, all of Myra’s attention was now on Leon. “I’m thinking of decorating the house,” she answered,

turning her eyes to Heather.

Now that she and Tony had moved back to his other house by themselves, Myra was rather free

staying at home and wanted to do something. She wanted to make the house more cozy, and while

she rubbed her unborn child in her womb, she had the idea to make the place a little more cute and

angelic. Since she already had the thought, she had to start working on it. In one of those rare times

when she would visit a furniture and bedding store, she unexpectedly bumped into Heather.

A little while after Heather returned to the country back then, this was the store she had dragged Myra

in. To Heather, this store had high-end custom-made pieces with rather good designs, so it was the first

store that popped into her mind when she wanted to buy furniture.

“It’s not always that you have such plans. Do you need my help?” Heather offered without thinking. A

heavy task such as decorating the house was not suitable for a pregnant woman, and since Heather

got to know about it, she just had to help out Myra a little.

“I haven’t picked out the furniture yet. Why don’t you help me with it?” Myra said, accepting her offer.

As she hadn’t figured out the relationship between Heather and Leon, it seemed like she would have to

disrupt their date a little longer.

Next to them, Leon, who wanted to interject into their conversation the whole time, couldn’t find the

opportunity at all as the women spoke one after the other. Meanwhile, Myra kept thinking of ways to

steer the conversation to Leon because Heather didn’t seem like she wanted to introduce him at all.

“Sure, then we’ll pick it out carefully for you.” For now, Heather had thrown her own issues to the back

of her head as Myra’s issue was more important.

Still, it was one thing to pick out the appropriate furniture because some had to be customized, and she

might not be able to buy everything she wanted.

From time to time, Leon would shoot glances at Heather so that she would formally introduce himself,

but she merely ignored him. However, Myra, who was purposely not looking at Leon, asked casually,

“Heather, aren’t you going to introduce the person beside you to me?”

Heather’s bizarre behavior only served to affirm Myra’s conclusion. At the same time, Leon’s spirits

lifted the moment he heard Myra specially mentioning himself.

Casting a glare at him, Heather found it surprising that Leon wasn’t up to his silly ways as he usually

did. Normally, he would have tried to make his existence known. I really gotta hand it to him for being

so serious now.

“He’s my junior in school, Leon, the stunning man with mixed heritage as well as my business partner,”

Heather said, formally introducing Leon even though it sounded overtly simple.

Looking at Leon thoughtfully, Myra recalled that Heather had mentioned her junior before. Oh. So he’s

the one. As the saying went, ‘seeing is believing.’ Back then, Heather merely mentioned him casually,

but they seemed especially well-matched for each other as she looked at the both of them now.

Leon came off as a very cheerful person, looking like the boy next door when he smiled, and his

beautiful appearance earned him a lot of attention. Until now, Myra always thought that Heather was so

stunning that everyone couldn’t help but steal a peek at her, but after seeing Leon today, she realized

that he was truly the person who would attract everyone’s eyes.

Such a bright and cheerful person complemented Heather rather well, and Myra had assumed them as

a couple. On the other hand, after hearing that Heather had introduced himself, Leon immediately said,

“I’m happy to finally meet you after hearing about you from Heather so often. You look like a very gentle

person, Myra.” At the end, he didn’t forget to throw in a compliment to please Myra.

Myra seemed a little awkward after being stared at by Leon, who didn’t quit his bad habit of

mesmerizing others with his eyes, and this made Heather furrow her brows.

“Don’t you have to buy bedding items, Leon? Don’t follow us around and waste your time,” she said,

not wanting Leon to stick with them.

Giving her an aggrieved look, he didn’t understand why she wanted to cast him aside as he replied,

“I’m not in a rush to get my stuff, so let’s shop together!” His insistence on sticking together with them

earned him a glare from Heather.

Even Myra chirped in a word for him, saying, “I’m almost done anyway, so you don’t have to go through

the trouble of shopping separately. You guys can help me to pick one out of two.”

Obviously, she was filled with interest about Leon, and Heather couldn’t do anything to stop it, but she

was worried that Leon might say something wrong in front of Myra. From the look in Myra’s eyes,

Heather already knew that she thought there was a complicated relationship between herself and Leon.

While Heather wanted to explain herself, after some thought, she figured there was no need to.

There was a benefit if Myra mistook her relationship with him. At least, Myra would stop asking her

about her complicated relationship with Matthias.

Still, she was worried that Leon didn’t know how to play along because he didn’t understand the looks

she was casting him. If something slipped out of him unexpectedly, Heather couldn’t promise that she

wouldn’t blow her top at him.

While chatting, they reached the store Myra was shopping from. The designs from this store pleased

Heather rather well, but the bedding items from this store were more adorable while she preferred

something with a simplistic and elegant design.

It was surprising for Heather that Myra decided on this store, and when she pictured Tony’s face

appearing in such a cute room, she thought that it seemed a little out of place. Her surprise doubled

when she saw the blueprint of the design because the furniture Myra had picked out were more cute

than she had imagined.

“Are you sure your husband will accept this style that you like?” Heather asked, thinking that Tony

wouldn’t be able to accept furniture like that, plus it looked a little too young in style.

Stroking her belly, Myra answered with a gentle smile, “I would like to decorate a baby’s room, and I

hope that the house will be a little more cute so that the child will like it.”

Glancing at her belly, Heather thought that there was still some time left until she gave birth. Plus, the

baby wouldn’t have any consciousness when it was still young. Until the time the child grew a little

awareness, it would be at least a little more than a year later. So, it seemed a little early for Myra to be

decorating now. “I think you’re doing this a little too early,” Heather advised. Moreover, she was

pregnant now and wasn’t suitable to be doing any renovation or decoration works.

Myra eyed her. Just when she was on a whim to do something, Heather’s words diminished her

enthusiasm greatly. On the other hand, Leon held a different opinion from Heather. “It’s not bad to

prepare early. The most important thing is to make it into a space that you like.”

Sure enough, he couldn’t change his habit of interrupting a conversation. In addition, he wouldn’t

consider anything else and would only focus on pleasing others.

“Then please help me to pick out which is better,” Myra asked enthusiastically. What she needed then

was agreement. Thus, Heather was cast aside at this time.

Looking at both of them helplessly, Heather thought, Indeed, any regular guy can’t be compared to

Leon when it comes to pleasing a girl. The entire time, he merely went along with Myra’s wishes

instead of sharing his opinions, and Myra was quickly done with picking out the furniture she wanted

with his help.

“Do you need me to help you pick out any furniture, Leon?” Myra offered politely. Since he had helped

her, she would like to help him out as well.

From the beginning, he was here to accompany Heather to pick out some bedding items and small

furniture, but he didn’t have anything that he wanted to buy. Earlier, he merely came up with an excuse

randomly because Heather wanted to cast him aside, but Myra took it for real. Therefore, he couldn’t

reject her offer and could only bite the bullet with a nod. With no retreat left, he decided to pick out

some things that Heather wanted and take it as helping her out.

While they were shopping, he would look at Heather occasionally and even ask her opinion. Myra with

her keen eyes noticed that the furniture he was shopping for were obviously for ladies, and she even

suspected if Heather was moving out to move in with him.

With a suspicious look, Myra observed from the side silently without much opinion to offer because he

only cared about Heather’s opinions. Meanwhile, Heather, too, knew that he was shopping for her, and

she decided to go with the flow for the things that she planned to buy.

After picking out a bunch of stuff, Leon secretly pulled the salesgirl to the side and told her the address

softly. As these things would be sent to Heather’s house, he didn’t want to say it loudly in Myra’s

presence.

After that, he passed his credit card to the salesgirl, and he felt his heart wrenched. After all, these

things weren’t cheap at all. Beside him, Heather seemed like she was watching a good show, which

made Myra even more confused as to how these two people got along with each other.

“Between you and your junior, are you guys really just simply—” Myra asked in a whisper.

Cutting her off, Heather said, “It’s a long story between us. I can tell you all about it slowly when there’s

time.” Today, Heather had her guards up against Myra, and fortunately, Myra didn’t ask her about

Matthias again.

Before Myra gave birth, Heather wouldn’t want her to meet Matthias at all, and even though she felt

that she still had a long way to go, she hoped that everything would go smoothly without a hitch.

“Why are you avoiding me on purpose recently?” Myra asked instead. Although there were sayings that

a pregnant woman’s brain would work much slower than usual, Myra’s instincts as a woman were still

very sharp.

Startled, Heather looked at her and replied, “I’m not avoiding you. I’ve just been really busy recently.”

Despite the fact that it sounded like a superficial reply and wasn’t able to diminish the confusion in

Myra’s eyes by one bit, there was nothing else Myra could say. In the end, Myra held back her tongue

because she understood that she would look like a whining woman if some things were said. “Come

and visit me in my new place when you’re free,” she said with a smile, keeping away her emotions as

though she didn’t say anything earlier.

“Sure,” Heather agreed readily. This was something that slipped her mind. Ever since Myra returned

from abroad with Tony, she hadn’t found a time to visit their place personally.

They had spent too much time at the furniture store, and Heather still had some business to attend to.

However, as Myra already noticed that she hadn’t visited her, Heather felt it was inappropriate for her to

walk away now. As for Leon, he made the decision by himself to invite them for afternoon tea, which

Myra quickly agreed to, and Heather thought that she shouldn’t hesitate much longer. Since

adjustments could be made for her matters, and it was such a coincidence to run into Myra today, she

decided to act willfully a little.

“I recently discovered a dessert store that serves pretty good sweets. I’ll bring you guys there,” Heather

said. Attentive toward food with the courage to give new things a try, she thought that this was one of

the ways she could discover more delicacies hidden in the streets and lanes.

As Leon wasn’t interested in dessert but the other two did, they immediately started a conversation by

themselves while he trod behind them with a bored look on his face. When they arrived, he went and

ordered a cup of hot tea and some snacks for himself. There was a marked difference in the tastes

between men and women, after all.

On the way, Myra received a call from Tony. “I’m leaving work early today. Are you home?” he asked

over the phone in his husky voice. Very seldom would he have the chance to knock off work this early,

and he was eager to see Myra.

“I’m hanging out with Heather now. Would you like to join us?” Today was a day that would only come

once in a thousand years with so many coincidences in a day. It was very common for Tony to be

working overtime, and he almost never left work this early.

“Send me the location and I’ll be there in a while.” The fact that she was with Heather didn’t surprise

him at all. Ever since Heather returned from abroad, Myra had been hanging out closely with her,

spending even more time with her than she did with Estelle.

Clearly, the relationship she shared with Heather was incomparable to others. Reuniting after having

separated for so long, they were so close that it was as though they had never been separated before.
