Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 591



Chapter 591

Refusing to discuss this matter any further, Heather only left it at that. In her eyes, seeing Matthias

going all out trying to explain and change the topic only made it seem as if he was trying to cover

something up, and Heather was definitely not in the mood to dig into it. Even though she didn’t say

anything, she was worried about Leon’s safety. Although it didn’t seem like too big of a deal to Leon,

and he had repeatedly emphasized he was safe, she wasn’t buying it.

“Do you have any idea how to find Leon?” Matthias could tell that Heather was worried about Leon, and

to eliminate her worries, she must find Leon and see to it that he was safe with her own eyes.

“Leon is good at counter-reconnaissance. Since he can avoid the tracking of the other party, then we

won’t be able to find him easily as well. It’ll be hard to look for his hideout.” Heather knew Leon well

enough to know that it would be useless to track him down.

“You can’t find him doesn’t mean I can’t,” Matthias said mysteriously; it seemed that he already had an

idea, which piqued Heather’s curiosity.

“What do you mean?” Heather asked. It seemed that she had indeed underestimated Matthias’

strength; the hidden power of the Locke family was indeed amazing.

“Give me two hours. I will give you an explanation as soon as possible,” Matthias uttered confidently.

This time around, he had finally decided to utilize the power of his family. For Heather, Matthias was

willing to do anything impulsively.

“Alright, then. I will trust you just this once. After finding Leon, you only need to tell me whether he is

really safe. I don’t care about the rest.” Heather only wanted to confirm Leon’s safety—that was all.

“Aren’t you going to see him?” This was a bit unexpected for Matthias. He thought she would at least

want to see Leon safe with her own eyes. Now that he heard what she said, it seemed that her cool-

headedness remained after all.

“I know I will expose his location if I go to see him. I’m not that impulsive,” Heather replied casually. Life

was not a drama where silly female leads could get out of whatever trouble they caused from being

impulsive. Most of the time in real life, one must think before they act.

The two further discussed and decided to proceed with the plan. What Heather was more concerned

about now was the skills and power that Matthias possessed. She was more than glad for him to

demonstrate the strength of the Locke family in front of her.

Ultimately, the parts that even Leon couldn’t find out about the Lockes could only be discovered by

Heather herself. Therefore, before they could find out about Leon’s safety, Heather planned to stay with

Matthias every step of the way and watch him operate with her own eyes.

However, it was all Heather’s wishful thinking. Unforeseen issues always happened at the worst time

possible; Myra finally replied to Heather on Messenger.

After receiving the notification, Heather stared at her Messenger interface for a long time—Myra asked

her to meet at her house. Heather was troubled. Leon’s safety is uncertain, and now this with Myra?

Everything happened altogether all of a sudden, and it was starting to become overwhelming to her.

What a pity, she thought. I wanted to witness how Matthias worked to find out the real power the

Lockes hold in Bratfort city. But now, such a good opportunity might just slip through my fingers.

After weighing carefully, Heather agreed to meet with Myra, but she didn’t plan to tell Matthias that she

would be meeting Myra, so she simply looked for another reason to get off.

As soon as she looked up, she immediately saw the coffee shop she visited frequently. “Stop at the

coffee shop in front. I have an appointment with someone,” she told Matthias.

Hearing that, Matthias’ eyes were filled with doubts. She was clearly worried about Leon a while ago,

so why would she make an appointment with someone? he thought. She knew that he would get

suspicious, but she didn’t want to explain further because she knew that the more she explained, the

more loopholes there’d be.

“Are you going to meet Myra?” At this point of time, Matthias knew she would turn down whatever

appointment with anyone else except Myra.

“Please help me to continue the investigation, rectify the situation, and tell me all about it. Right now, I

have business affairs to deal with, and I don’t want any delay.” Heather used her business affairs as an

excuse.

As the two of them talked, the car drove to the front of the coffee shop, but Matthias had to confirm one

last thing before he stopped the car.

“Can I go with you?” Obviously not buying Heather’s ‘business affairs’ excuse, he wanted to tag along

with her.

“It’s about business. So it’s not so convenient for you to come.” Heather rejected Matthias right away,

and the car stopped right then.

Seeing how Heather got out of the car calmly, Matthias already had an answer in his heart. Heather’s

last answer exposed her—the usual her would’ve just rejected him without any explanation.

After Heather left the car, Matthias dialed a number on his phone, and when the person on the other

line answered, he said, “I need you to check one more thing—who Heather Langston is meeting with

later.”

After he ended the call, Matthias thought to himself, She was negligent this time. Since I can find out

about Leon’s safety, there is nothing I can’t find out. Heather, you shouldn’t have lied to me this time.

In fact, apart from Myra, Matthias couldn’t think of anyone else that she would meet right now. Besides,

Heather would definitely not mention anything about Myra in front of him.

Heather didn’t want Matthias to have any contact with Myra anymore. Even Tony was very sensitive

about this. However, it seemed that they had all underestimated Myra’s endurance.

In other words, they deemed pregnant women as too fragile. Thinking of the phone call Myra gave him

earlier, she had already noticed something, and it would be no good for anyone to keep it a secret.

Matthias subconsciously became worried about the friendship between Heather and Myra. He hated

Heather before for separating him and Myra, but now, he was worried for Heather, and the hate he had NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

for her had disappeared without a trace. He knew that only love could make people do things that didn’t

make sense.

Heather, on the other hand, entered the cafe under Matthias’ gaze. She ordered a cup of coffee and sat

by the window. In fact, she was waiting for Matthias to leave—the view from her seat allowed her to see

everything.

Soon, Matthias drove away, and Heather’s coffee was served. She did not rush out immediately, but

tasted the coffee instead—this was to make sure Matthias wouldn’t turn back to check on her again.

With that in mind, she gulped down half of her coffee into her stomach, and it instantly warmed her up,

making her feel so much better. Only after making sure that Matthias had really left did Heather leave

the cafe slowly. Gracefully, Heather walked up to the car, which she had initially booked and was

waiting by the front door.

When she got out of the shop, Heather took a second look around and didn’t see Matthias’ car. After

all, an eye-catching luxury car like his wasn’t hard to miss.

When she made her way to the luxury car she had ordered, she opened the door and got in. The owner

of the car was a stranger, since Heather simply used an e-hailing service to book it. She immediately

slipped into the back seat and greeted the driver with a simple hum.

With Heather’s good-looking face, even strangers couldn’t resist her charm—they’d always go out of

their way to strike up a conversation or even flirt with her.

“Can you drive faster, please? I’m in a hurry,” Heather said in a commanding tone; she didn’t like

talkative drivers.

Hearing Heather’s words, the driver sped up, but she didn’t say a word after that. Seeing her ice-cold

expression, the driver stopped talking at once.

As a matter of fact, Heather’s coldness was even capable of making one feel that the surrounding

temperature had dipped several degrees. It was only natural that the person who striked up the

conversation would not pursue it any further.

Half an hour later, Heather arrived at Myra’s house. After mustering up her courage, she rang the

doorbell. Moments later, the door opened—it was Myra who was standing behind it.

The two looked at each other, and then quickly shifted their eyes away—there was an inexplicable

awkwardness between them.

“Come in.” Myra still couldn’t bring herself to be cold to Heather, so she invited Heather into her house.

As she did that, she couldn’t help but wonder that, if what the woman told her was true, how should she

face Heather?

“You… I…” Heather didn’t know where to start, and her stutter was something that Myra was

unaccustomed to.

However, this had also in a way reflected one thing—Heather felt guilty. Heather used countless lies to

twist what happened, causing her to not know how to face Myra now.

“You should know what I want to talk to you about,” Myra said coldly. She couldn’t forgive Heather for

what she did.

“So you know.” A straightforward person shouldn’t beat around the bush. Heather didn’t want to

continue lying to Myra; after all, her lies were enough for her to destroy and discredit their friendship.

“Well, the thing that saddens me the most is not your deception to me from the very beginning, but the

fact that you still don’t want to be honest with me even now. I’ve heard the so-called truth from the

others. So? Were you planning on keeping all these to yourself for the rest of your life?” Myra struggled

for a long time before saying all of these. She knew that she couldn’t simply let it pass—she had to talk

to Heather about this no matter what.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say except ‘I’m sorry’.” Regret washed over Heather’s face. Whatever

happened, happened, and she knew there was no way for her to recover their friendship.

“I don’t need your apology. You let me down. Can you tell me… whether your friendship with me is real

or fake? And here I thought you were the last person in this world who would use and deceive me.

You’ve betrayed my trust in you,” Myra said very calmly. All the restlessness she had had already been

digested by her alone.

Just how much hardship and even self-reflection had Myra gone through in her heart for her to state all

of these lightly?

“Will you ever forgive me?” Heather had also imagined such a situation multiple times in her head.

Perhaps Myra would never forgive her.

“I want to hear your reasons. Please tell me honestly—what happened in the past?” Myra said calmly.

As soon as Heather heard that, she thought, She must have been extremely disappointed to be so

calm. Heather knew that she had broken Myra’s heart cruelly. She hated herself and regretted her

wrong step back then.

“I did something wrong once, and everything else followed. I was too selfish then, which caused this

situation today.” Heather reflected on herself deeply, but she couldn’t bring herself to remember why

she was so despicable to the point it ruined the innocence of two people.

“I don’t want to hear your confession now. For so many years, you have had countless chances to be

honest with me; why did you choose to lie to me until now?” Myra looked at Heather’s face and couldn’t

bring herself to hate her. But as she thought of what Heather did to her, she just couldn’t find it in

herself to forgive her.

“Are you hiding anything else from me? What good is it for you to deceive me? Does playing with me in

the palm of your hand make you happy? Perhaps you even feel proud.” Myra’s emotions were exposed

little by little, and the calmness she was trying to maintain was crumbling away.

“No. It’s nothing like that. At the time, I just wanted you to be good to me, and never to others. So when

you introduced Matthias to me, I hated him. What did he do to deserve your attention?” Heather had to

admit that she wasn’t thinking healthily at the time—she was holding onto Myra as if her life depended

on her. If she could, she would hold Myra so firmly in her hand that no one else could even take a peek

at her.

“I can’t remember the past—no matter what kind of relationship I had with Matthias at the time, it was in

the past. Now that I have Tony, my life is filled with him and only him. You made mistakes in your youth,

and I can definitely forgive that. But why didn’t you confess to me even after Matthias reappeared?

Have you ever really treated me as your friend at all?” The only thing Myra cared about was the fact

that Heather lied to her. Moreover, these lies continued on for so many years when there were so many

opportunities for her to come clean, but Heather chose to continue to hide it—this was simply

unforgivable!
