Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 610

Each question was more pointed than the previous. Matthias didn’t want to let her go, and he clearly

still had some slight resentment in his heart.

“Yes.” Heather didn’t want to continue being stubborn with him. In fact, she didn’t just miss him a little

bit—she missed him very much.

Matthias rejoiced in secret, for he never expected this to go so smoothly. After all, it wasn’t easy for

Heather to speak so honestly.

“Do you have any more questions? Why don’t you ask them all at once?” she asked calmly.

Just then, he remained silent for a while before he simply said, “I miss you a lot, and I really want to

see you.”

Heather’s heart fluttered. When it came to their relationship, Matthias had to take more initiative. There

were many things she wouldn’t say, whereas he would express his own feelings strongly.

When he didn’t get a response from her, he looked at his phone and thought that she was probably

feeling shy. He then comforted himself, When in a relationship, one would become cheesy indeed.

“You should get some sleep.” She didn’t know what to say to him, so she could only respond in such a

way.

“Okay.” He had heard many things that she wouldn’t normally say, and he was more than satisfied.

Although it wasn’t enough, he couldn’t be too greedy.

He had a lot of time, so there was no need to rush this moment. One day, they would break through the

barriers and finally be together—he was sure of this.

After hanging up, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Matthias had gotten the answer he wanted;

since she didn’t hate him because of that incident and had become more gentle toward him instead, it

couldn’t have gone any better.

Meanwhile, this phone call made Heather understand one thing—all her worries from before were

unnecessary. Matthias still liked her, and he wasn’t displeased because of that incident. It was good

news.

At the same time, both of them were afraid that the other would hate them. This was how relationships

were; nobody felt secured, and even their self-confidence would eat away little by little.

Needless to say, love was beautiful and tormenting at the same time. Since ancient times, everyone

was emotionally swayed because of love. Not even the greatest man could avoid it, let alone a simple

man and woman.

Since she couldn’t sleep, she gazed out of the window. It was a secluded area, and it was located

some distance away from the city. There weren’t any lights outside, and it was filled with silence.

Everyone had already gone to sleep by this hour, but she was the only one still wide awake.

Three more days, she thought to herself. In three days, she would appear in the public eye again.

Moreover, she knew there were many eyes watching her. She enjoyed the feeling of being in the

limelight when she was younger, but her preference for privacy had grown over the years.

She feared doing the wrong thing back then, but she had already grown out of it now. After all, humans

were prone to make mistakes, and she deeply regretted her actions whenever she made one. When

she was younger, she would always try to cover up her wrongdoings—just like the incident with Myra. If

she hadn’t been so selfish, she wondered what would have happened then.

Nonetheless, mistakes had been made. She decided that the first thing she would do when she

returned to Bradfort City was to go and apologize to Myra. No matter what, she had to apologize to her

friend.

While she was in Iceland, she never once forgot about it. Not only did she intend on apologizing to

Myra, she wanted to confess some things as well, including her complicated feelings for Matthias.

After all, Myra had the right to know about these things. Heather made up her mind that this was also a

kind of recognition of Matthias. No matter what happened after that, she hoped to try once more.

She had met the perfect match for her back then, but unfortunately, she didn’t make any effort and

easily gave up on the relationship that never got the chance to blossom. This time, she didn’t want to

be so cowardly any longer.

After going through so much, she realized that she was afraid of her feelings because of her family.

She didn’t believe in love, nor did she believe in herself.

If this went on, she might really end up being alone for the rest of her life. Instead, she was going to

pluck up the courage this time. After making such a difficult decision, she was determined and wanted

to only go forward no matter what the result was with no regrets.

She couldn’t sit alone until dawn while she was awake, so she thought of Leon, who was like a little

brother to her. These few years, Heather had asked for more than she could give him. In the future, she

was going to cherish the relationship between them more. Now, she treated him like family.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded. Leon, who was typing away on his keyboard, reluctantly

walked toward the door and pulled it open. He hated being interrupted when he was working, even if

the person was Heather.

“Am I bothering you?” Heather beamed. She was always smiling as of late, knowing full well that Leon

couldn’t resist her smile.

“Not at all,” he said in a resigned manner. He was angry just a moment ago, but now, he didn’t know

whether to laugh or cry. Nonetheless, it must be something important since Heather had come over in

the middle of the night.

“Leon, I’m surprised that you don’t have any wine here.” She was still smiling, and it made him feel

helpless. She is so cute in such an annoying way.

“I just moved in, and I haven’t got the chance to buy any wine yet,” he explained.

“I want to drink,” she said bluntly. She was in a good mood, and it would be even better if she could

have a few drinks.

“Where are you going to get alcohol at this hour?” He looked at her with annoyance written on his face.

She was giving him more problems again.

“At the 24-hour convenience store,” she suggested.

With a strange gaze, he looked at her. He knew she was picky, let alone when it came to alcohol. If it

wasn’t world-class alcohol, she simply wouldn’t care to enjoy it.

“Are you fine with that kind of alcohol?” he asked incredulously.

“It doesn’t matter!” she said playfully. This side of Heather was rare.

“Are you being possessed right now, Heather?” He stared at her inexplicably. He wasn’t familiar with

this side of her, and something didn’t feel right to him.

“Well, are you going to have a few drinks with me or not?” She graciously offered, knowing that he

wouldn’t refuse.

“I’m down if you are,” Leon said boldly. It was just a few drinks, and it wasn’t like he had never drank

before. Not to mention, he wasn’t as picky as she was.

“In that case, let’s go and buy some alcohol!” She grinned. Even if it was cheap alcohol, she just

wanted to drink and have a taste of it.

Since young, Heather never had any ordinary alcohol. For one, she didn’t drink casually even while

socializing. Even so, her counterparts never offered ordinary wine to her either. If she brought her own

alcohol to the gathering, it was undoubtedly good wine.

After doing the math, she realized she had spent a lot on alcohol these few years. She was really a real

spendthrift, but it was a good thing that she was equally good at earning money.

On the way there, Heather and Leon chatted casually. He wondered aloud and asked, “Heather, have

you ever had ordinary wine?” He was rather worried that she would be disgusted with the wine after

buying them.

“I don’t think so.” She thought carefully and realized that she hadn’t tried them before. Everyone knew

this, so they would never entertain her with just any wine. In fact, they all tried to give her the best

wines.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to get used to the taste later,” Leon said politely. However, he couldn’t find

a place that offered good wine at this hour.

Meanwhile, Heather knew exactly where to get them, and it wouldn’t be a problem to visit the place at

this hour. However, she was keeping her whereabouts a secret, and she shouldn’t be showing her face.

Hence, the idea was quickly dismissed.

“Am I that petulant?” She decided to make some changes. It was a small change that was seemingly

nothing to her.

“Heather, I’m surprised such words even came out of your mouth. Do you still remember that year I

was going through a breakup? I went for some drinks with you, and you were complaining about how

disgusting my wine was. Later on, you brought out your wine that you spent 800,000 on. We even

argued and ended up drinking our own wine.” He remembered this clearly. From then on, he never

offered ordinary wine to her. If he were to drink with her, he would certainly bring expensive wine.

“I don’t recall that.” She obviously did, but she was too stubborn to admit it.

“Fine. Since you’re so insistent, don’t waste a single drop of wine later,” he said in a threatening voice.

At once, she nodded; she was good to herself when it came to materialistic aspects. In fact, she was Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

too good to herself—spoiled rotten was actually an understatement. What she ate and wore were worth

a lot of money, and the only thing that can be compromised was perhaps the food she ate. She would

be fine as long as it was delicious and clean above anything else.

But in terms of drinking, even if it was a simple bottle of mineral water, she had to have the best kind.

Naturally, this wasn’t good if she wanted to live a normal life. If she continued to squander like this, she

could forget about being an ordinary person.

“Sure,” she responded without hesitation.

“Have you been through something I don’t know about?” he asked incredulously.

“I’m too spoiled sometimes, and I think I should change that.” She told him the truth.

Leon reached out and placed his hand on her forehead. “You’re not having a fever. Why are you talking

nonsense?”

She glared at him with a look of disgust. “We’re all ordinary people, so I should also pay attention to the

problem of wasting money,” she said in a serious manner.

“This isn’t in line with your beliefs, though. You always say that you can spend the money you earn

however you want,” he said excitedly.

After pausing for a moment, he added, “Not to mention, you’re not an ordinary person. You’re an

extraordinary woman—a successful, strong woman.”

When she heard this, Heather shook her head. “No. I’m just an ordinary person, so I should live an

ordinary life.” She wasn’t being pretentious. She had a feeling that she would lose all her shining glory

one day, and she would become the most ordinary person in this mundane world.

“Did Matthias say something to you?” Leon still refused to accept this. Heather had become so strange,

and it was making him panic.

“No, you’re overthinking it.” She didn’t know how to explain it to him. In fact, she didn’t know how to

explain that she was making changes from the smallest details.

“Okay. I’ll still support you in whatever you want to do.” He decided not to pursue the matter any further

and gave her a reassuring look.
