Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 654

Listening to Matthias’ voice, Heather closed her eyes in enjoyment. Throughout the journey, there

weren’t many cars along the way. A moment later, she opened her eyes again and his voice was still

sounding from the other end of the line.

“Can you stay on the line?” Heather murmured, suddenly reluctant to hang up as she wanted to keep

talking to him.

Matthias was surprised at her request and he was taken aback for a moment before responding, “Of

course.”

The topics of their conversation were random as they immersed themselves in each other’s voices. At

this moment, Matthias had slowed down his driving speed because he had to divide his attention into

chatting with Heather.

“Was Singapore that fun?” he asked curiously as he listened to Heather’s story about the country. Truth

was, it sounded pretty interesting.

“Yes. You’ll definitely like that place,” Heather said with a smile, as if Matthais was right in front of her.

“Let’s visit Singapore together when we have the chance, then.” Although Matthias had been to

Singapore many times, it was always because of business affairs. Hearing her words, he really wanted

to travel with her.

“Sure. Let’s go to the casino together and win some big bucks!” Heather’s mood got even better.

Talking to Matthias could help her forget about those worries for the time being.

And so, the two of them kept the conversation going until their phones were about to run out of battery.

Fortunately for them, they would be meeting each other in ten minutes.

After parking his car, Matthias got down from it. Heather, too, would be arriving anytime soon. Right

now, he was like a young and impulsive boy who had a foolish smile tugging at the corners of his

mouth as he waited excitedly to meet his beloved girlfriend.

Soon, Heather also got out of her car. The two of them were still talking on the phone and she asked,

“Are you in the mini garden already?”

“Yes, I’m waiting for you at the heart of the mini garden.” How much he wished he could teleport to her

side at this moment. He couldn’t wait to hold her in his arms and look at her pretty face right.

Heather looked around her with a smile, seeing that the streets were still full of people at this time. It

was no wonder that many outsiders that came to Bradfort City would always drop by the pedestrian

zone at night just to feel its liveliness.

As she walked along the way, many people casted their gaze at her. She was always so stunning.

Although there might be many pretty faces in the world, it was rare to come across a person as

gorgeous as her.

Standing in the crowd, Matthias was exceptionally outstanding with his tall figure. Even from a far

distance, Heather could see him walking back and forth in place. Watching his movements, she flashed

a bright smile.

Heather planned to walk up to his side quietly, so she carefully hid among the crowd for fear that

Matthias would notice her. As she silently walked up and stopped behind him, she smiled triumphantly

for her success.

However, the very next second, he turned around and murmured, “Hat, you’re getting more naughty by

the day.” In reality, Matthias had noticed her a long time ago, yet he didn’t call out to her. Watching her

mischievous behavior, he found it very interesting.

“Hmph! You’re no fun at all.” Heather expressed her dissatisfaction at him being too alert of his

surroundings.

“There’s nothing much I can do about that. It’s my instinct.” Matthias was trained to be like this long

ago. It was too difficult for him not to notice even the most trivial moments.

Refusing to continue this topic, Heather asked, “Matty, how can you be so fast? It should take around

forty to fifty minutes for you to arrive here from your villa. How is it that you’re even faster than me?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Heather thought that this didn’t make sense at all. Matthias had always been one step ahead of her

and it was making her frustrated. It was as if she was always coming late on purpose.

“Because I don’t dawdle like you,” he teased her. He seemed to have become bolder now, for he even

dared to make fun of her at this time.

Heather looked at him, dissatisfied. How dare he make fun of me? Turning around, she faced him with

her back. He is always going against my words and getting on her nerves!

“Are you angry?” Matthias leaned over and looked at her puffed cheeks, thinking that Heather was the

cutest person in the world.

“I’m not that petty.” She glanced at him contemptuously. Of course, she wouldn’t get angry just because

of this.

Reaching out, Matthias gently ruffled her hair. He missed the feeling of it, but Heather didn’t like this

action of his at all.

“Don’t touch my hair,” she said in an angry tone. Matthias is really trying to ruffle my feathers, huh?

“Then what about this?” He got closer to her and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Instantly, Heather pushed him away, “There are so many people around. Do you want to see us in the

headlines tomorrow?” A flush immediately crept up her face as she grumbled to herself, Matthias is

indeed too daring!

“We’re officially in a relationship, so there’s no big deal with us being in the headlines at all. Could it be

that you’re secretly seeing other men behind my back?” Matthias asked nonchalantly, not embarrassed

in the least.

“Who’s in a relationship with you? Please mind your words!” Heather muttered, thinking that Matthias

was pushing his luck as she had not yet agreed to be his girlfriend. It seems that he is really trying to

get on my nerves!

“Of course I’m talking about you! Aren’t we a couple? Didn’t we even talk about our marriage already?”

Matthias answered confidently. The more they talked, the more nonsense he was spewing.

“When did we even talk about marriage?” Heather gazed at him speechlessly, probably because she

had never seen such a shameless man other than Matthias.

Upon hearing that, he smiled and poked her dimple with his finger as he said, “Why are you getting

nervous? Should I visit your parents tomorrow and ask for your hand?” he murmured, continuing to

tease her.

“No! You’d better behave yourself!” Heather warned him. Matthias’ nonsense was getting out of hand

and if he continued talking, he might even come to the topic of their future child.

“Alright, alright. But before I behave myself, give me a hug.” Matthias then took her into his arms and

hugged her tightly. With her in his embrace, he was the happiest man in the world at this moment.

Heather was not used to being affectionate in public so she ordered, “Let go!” What if the others look in

our direction? That would be so embarrassing!

On the contrary, not only did Matthias not let go, he even tightened his hug as he murmured, “No.”

“Why are you behaving more and more like a rascal these days?” Heather glanced at him

contemptuously. He was the president of the Locke Group but he had now degenerated into a

gangster.

“I’m only a rascal when I’m with you.” Matthias smiled contentedly. To him, being able to hold Heather

in his arms was the happiest thing in the world. Therefore, he was reluctant to let go, for he wanted to

continue enjoying her tenderness.

“This is the pedestrian zone,” Heather reminded him, as she really didn’t want to see herself in the

news tomorrow. The paparazzi had yet to give up chasing after them.

In the end, Matthias reluctantly loosened his hold and murmured, “Heather, I miss you so much. It’s

been too torturing for me to resist the urge to look for you.” Truth was, he had lost count of the times

where he wanted to call Heather.

“Stop it. We’re not acting in a drama right now.” Heather laughed mockingly to herself. Love was a

common thing, yet it could turn even the most prestigious person into a commoner.

Casually, Matthias held her hand in his as he said, “Let’s go shopping.” At this time, the night market

had started operating on the streets. He had never visited a night market before and he guessed it

should be the same for Heather as well, so he wanted to go on a shopping spree with her. In his

opinion, girls tended to like the word ‘shopping’.

“Shopping?” Heather thought her ears were playing tricks on her. For a man like Matthias to invite her

to go shopping had certainly caught her off guard. “Only the night market is operating at this hour,

though. Are you sure you want to go there?”

Evan once told Matthias that girls liked shopping, so the latter planned to make use of what he had

learned. He strongly believed that Heather would be impressed with his plan.

“The night market is also a great choice.” Matthias had no idea what a night market was, as he

naturally wouldn’t understand the life of the commoners.

The night market was lively and it was even more crowded than the pedestrian zone during the day.

There were rows of stalls along both sides of the night market that sold all kinds of things.

“Alright then. Let’s go to the night market.” Heather, however, was different from Matthias. She knew

what a night market was like.

It was a place where they sold a large amount of counterfeit items. Those well-known brands could be

seen everywhere in a night market. It was just that they were fake and the prices were so low that it

was beyond her imagination.

Seeing that Heather accepted his invitation, Matthias smiled triumphantly. Now that his first step had

succeeded, he had to work even harder to please her from now on. Evan told him that all Matthias had

to remember was to buy everything that she took a fancy to when they were shopping.

In the end, there was nothing he could buy for her in the night market. After all, how could he buy those

cheap things for her?

As they walked down the market, Matthias was looking at those stalls with widened eyes. Be it the

clothes, shoes, or even the accessories… They were all too cheap.

Admiring the expression on his face, Heather smiled secretly as she thought to herself, He’s too cute!

Gradually, she, too, immersed herself into the night market. Some of the accessories were really cute,

despite the rough workmanship.

Looking at the phone lanyard in her hand, Heather thought that the grinning little monster on it was too

adorable. The next second, the owner of the stall offered it at a price of 20. It was so cheap that it didn’t

seem premium at all.

Matthias, who was standing off to one side, was hesitant to pay for Heather. Twenty was too little. If it

were two thousand, he would pay for it without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Heather was thinking about whether to make the purchase or not, and she was still thinking

if she should bargain with the seller. After all, the people next to her seemed happy while bargaining for

a lower price. Therefore, she wanted to experience this kind of simple happiness too.

Puzzled, the seller looked at the dazzling couple in front of him. They were dressed in luxurious brands

and one could tell that they were not ordinary people. To the seller, it was beyond incredible that they

would actually stop by his booth to buy some accessories.

“Sir, is this little thing worth twenty? Did you jack up the price?” At last, Heather decided to put aside

her image and bargain with the seller. She really wanted to feel the joy of bargaining.

Usually, everything that she bought was from luxurious brands and there was no room for bargaining at

all. Today, she had finally come across the opportunity, so she had to experience it herself. It seemed

that one would feel a sense of accomplishment if they made a successful bargain.

Upon hearing her words, the seller and Matthias were stunned. Never did the former expect that such a

wealthy person would bargain with him.

On the other hand, Matthias was even more shocked that his jaw dropped. Heather was a person who

would casually spend two hundred thousand in the blink of an eye, but she was now bargaining for an

item that was worth a mere twenty. Suddenly, he couldn’t help but have the urge to record this historic

moment.
