Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 637

There were techniques for two people to mingle well with each other, but sadly, Heather and Matthias

knew none of it. It would sometimes be better if one of them could change the way that they spoke, but

they always ended up bickering with each other.

Before they could even have dinner, their moods were already unpleasant. They had already lost their

appetite by that moment and were now staring at each other in an awkward atmosphere.

“Send me home to the Langston Residence.” Heather wasn’t in the mood to eat and she didn’t want to

stay with him a minute longer.

Meanwhile, Matthias looked regretful as he realized that his tone was a little out of order earlier. Even if

she wasn’t a whiny girl, she would still be infuriated when he didn’t properly answer her question. “It’s

almost time for dinner. I’ll send you back after we have eaten something.” He tried to change her mind

so that she would stay.

“No.” She immediately rejected. After what had happened in the past two days, she didn’t have the

appetite to eat anything and sudden thoughts in her head didn’t help to improve her mood either.

Upon seeing her determination to leave, he didn’t continue to force her to stay, so he sent her home. At

least she lets me send her back home, which means she is not that angry with me.

Heather had remained silent on the journey, so Matthias tried to start a conversation with her. However,

all of his attempts were shot down by the frosty look of her face. Whenever her expression became

cold, it felt as though the temperature had instantly dropped—like the chill came from her body.

In his heart, he had regretted what he said earlier. I can’t believe I’m arguing with her because of Lara.

Looks like the tiny conflicts in life are inevitable.

“Heather.” As they were about to arrive at the Langston Residence, he couldn’t help but softly call her.

“Yes,” Heather flatly replied.

“Are you still angry at me?” Matthias asked worryingly. Compared to her frosty looks, he would rather

face her anger because he was terrified of her at the moment.

While looking outside the window with an emotionless face, she responded casually, “Why would I be?”

However, her reply had only fueled the anxiety inside his heart.

“Heather, I know that I was wrong. Please don’t be like this, okay?” He had no choice but to apologize

to her even if he didn’t think that he had done something wrong. There’s no wrong in apologizing to her.

However, Heather then turned around and revealed a cold smile as she immediately saw through

Matthias’ thoughts.

“You don’t need to apologize to me. You did nothing wrong. I was just being unreasonable,” she

murmured in a way that didn’t seem like she was an unreasonable person.

“Heather, I admit that I shouldn’t have spoken to you in that way. Please don’t be angry at me, alright?”

As he thought about it, he realized that his tone was different than usual when he spoke to her.

“Matthias, do you feel aggrieved when you are with me?” she suddenly asked. She felt that it was

unfair that the president of the Locke Group was so dejected in front of her all the time.

However, Matthias looked at her in confusion as he couldn’t understand her question. In fact, he never

felt aggrieved whenever he was together with her, but he sometimes just couldn’t understand why she

was angry at him.

“Forget about it. Your eyes have told me everything.” Heather rolled her eyes at him while calming

down a little inside her heart. Even though she knew that she shouldn’t be angry at him today, she still

took his love for granted.

At the moment, he wanted to look into a mirror to see what was happening with his eyes. Since he felt

that she wasn’t that angry anymore, it was a good thing.

“Just take the left turn ahead.” Heather noticed that Matthias was in a daze, so she kindly reminded

him.

His expression suddenly changed as he didn’t expect to reach her home this soon, so he regretted it a

little since he wanted to be with her for a while. At the same time, he was also frustrated at himself for

not taking the initiative to talk to her in the beginning. Why did I start to talk to her when we are almost

arriving at her house?

Therefore, he stopped the car all of a sudden and placed both his hands on the steering wheel. Then,

he turned toward Heather and stared at her in a way that made her want to just jump out of the car.

After that, Matthias approached her and kissed her lips. She didn’t expect the sudden kiss at all, but

she didn’t dislike it either. Instead, she felt especially secured when his aura completely engulfed her

body at that moment.

“Heather, whenever I look at you, I feel that I can’t bring myself to leave you.” She could see the

reluctance in his eyes.

“Stop fooling around,” Heather uttered softly. Her face was now slightly blushed as she didn’t know how

to respond to him.

Matthias still refused to start the car again and the distance between the two of them was so close that

they could practically hear the other person’s breath. When she heard his heavy breathing, she

suddenly had the urge to push him away and hug him at the same time, which was contradictory.

“Heather.” He placed his head on her shoulder while speaking in an extremely loving tone.

“Matthias, stop this.” Heather couldn’t hold on much longer.

“Heather, please don’t be mad at me. I know that I always say the wrong words and I can’t say anything

to please you.” Just like a naughty kid, he continued to murmur while reflecting on himself.

Therefore, Heather coaxed Matthias like a little child. “I don’t blame you.” Somehow, she felt that she

was slowly falling into his hands and was helpless to do anything about it.

“I’ve angered you.” He then spoke in a childish tone, which she found really repulsive.

When did he learn to speak like that? However, it was really effective on her even though she was

trying hard to resist it. “I’m going home.” She wanted to open the car door, but he had pressed her so

hard against the door that she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Don’t you want to stay with me?” Again, Matthias pretended to be pitiful, which softened Heather’s

heart.

In the past, she never believed that she would one day fall for this trap, but ever since she met him, she

felt that many things that seemed impossible in the past now had the possibility of becoming true.

“Matthias, please stop pretending to be pitiful. This isn’t how a man should act,” Heather snarled. He

really is hard to shake off. At the start, he promised to bring me home, but now, he had a sudden

change in mind. Even though she had scolded Matthias, he wasn’t embarrassed at all. Instead, he

smiled, which made her feel that he really had a thick skin. “Please stop acting like this; otherwise, I’ll

be really mad,” she added in a serious tone to convince him to stop messing around.

He immediately withdrew his hand that he placed on her waist. He was frightened by her stern attitude

and didn’t want to enrage her later on.

Then, he looked at his hand with disappointment while thinking about the warmth he felt moments ago.

Everytime I want to be intimate with her, I will always get ruthlessly rejected in the end. I really am a

failure.

“If you don’t drive me back, I’ll just walk home by myself.” Heather had planned to leave the car in

anger and walk back to the Langston Residence.

After listening to her, Matthias quickly responded, “Heather, please don’t be angry. I’ll start the car right

away.”

Upon seeing the smile of pleasure on his face, she halted her movement. Matthias is a stubborn

person, so I don’t want to argue with him any longer.

Quickly, the car took a left turn and drove a few hundred meters before it arrived at the Langston

Residence. Meanwhile, Heather looked straight ahead while Matthias, who was behind the wheel, kept

glancing at her.

Not long after that, the car slowly stopped outside the entrance of the Langston Residence. Then, he

immediately alighted from the car and ran to the other side to open the door for her.

While standing outside the door, she said to him, “You should head home now!” She never planned on

entering the house with him.

However, he revealed a mysterious smile. “Don’t you want to invite me in for a cup of tea?”

What a corny idea, she sneered inside her heart.

“I think what you need now is dinner.” Heather then glanced at his belly and raised her brows.

“No. All I need right now is you.” Matthias began to talk in a sweet way again, as if he hadn’t confessed

to her moments ago in the car that he didn’t know how to please her with words.

Even though his words were sweeter than sugar, she glared at him in disgust. Why do I have a feeling

that he is becoming more unserious? Most people become more serious when they are in love, but

why does it feel as though he is resembling more like a playboy? He must have learned it from Evan! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The more Heather looked at him, the more she felt that he was aspiring to become a second Evan.

Therefore, she blinked her eyes in disgust while considering whether to invite Matthias in.

“Heather, aren’t you going in?” he urged as he had already decided to enter with her.

In the end, she didn’t want to embarrass him, so she agreed to let him in. Immediately, his face was

filled with joy as he stood next to her like a perfect couple.

When they entered the living room, Heather’s phone rang. Today was so comfortable for her that she

almost forgot that Myra was now being held to ransom.

“Miss Heather.” Heather’s expression immediately changed while her heart was being hung by a

thread. How could I not recognize this voice? He is the kidnapper who has been contacting me for the

past two days.

“I’m here.” With Matthias beside her, she couldn’t reveal too much to him, so she remained unfazed on

the surface.

However, he could see that she was acting strangely, so he nervously stared at her while guessing who

had called her.

“Miss Heather, you are acting bolder lately. Do you still remember our promise?” The kidnapper spoke

in a teasing and disdainful tone.

“What do you mean?” Heather asked flatly without revealing her emotions, but it only made Matthias

even more curious about who the person was on the other end of the phone.

“Miss Heather, shouldn’t I be the one asking you this question? I wonder what your intention is by

bringing Director Locke into your home.” The kidnapper’s tone became more sarcastic, which she

wasn’t pleased with.

“So what?” Heather couldn’t speak much since Matthias was next to her.

“Why don’t I send you another video so that you can see how Mrs. Hart is doing at the moment?” The

kidnapper threatened her, causing her to immediately feel a thump in her heart. She was afraid that she

would see the image that she feared the most.
