Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 674

Heather stretched out her hand to touch the white dress and showed a satisfied smile. She liked the

simple yet vintage design of the dress and she thought that Leon knew her well, after all. When he saw

the smile on her face, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Do you like this dress, Heather?” he asked tentatively.

She nodded. “I like it. You have a good taste, as always.” Leon’s sense of fashion was so good that she

could bring him to pick out clothes for her.

“Then change into it so we can see now,” he said excitedly. He could not wait to see her in this dress

already.

However, she did not want to put it on immediately as she thought her household clothes were more

comfortable, so she murmured, “Nah, I’ll wear it when we are about to head out.”

Her behavior made Leon suspect if her compliments just now were forced. After all, when girls saw a

beautiful dress, they could not wait to try it on themselves.

No matter how I look at it, her reaction doesn’t seem normal. She’s clearly placating me. Looking at the

white dress on the couch, Leon thought it was perfect no matter from which angle he looked at it. He

had begged the master designer for a long time to make this for him and this dress was one of its kind

in the world. As such, he did not expect that Heather would treat it this way.

Noticing the unhappy expression on his face, Heather realized that her reply just now had hurt him, so

she quickly thought about salvaging the situation. After all, she did not want to hurt him.

“Do you want me to wear it?” she asked tentatively.

Upon hearing that, Leon nodded vehemently. Of course I want to see you wear it! I can’t wait to see

you in this dress already!

“In that case, I’ll put it on for you to see even though I don’t feel like it,” she said in a helpless tone. In

the end, she did not forget to complain about it. “You know, casual clothes are the most comfortable to

wear at home.”

Leon looked at her in surprise. “Heather, you’ve changed. In the past, you thought that no matter where

you are—with other people or alone—you always want to look presentable.” He reminded her of

something she once said that was contradictory to her current statement.

“People change. It’s quite nice to have a different personality when I’m alone anyway. It seems cuter.”

With that, she smiled at him playfully.

He nodded in agreement. “You’re right. It’s better to be more casual in private. We are not celebrities

anyway. In the past, you cared too much about your image. When you are alone in your room, no one

is looking at you anyway. Why are you so well-dressed? Who are you going to show it to?”

When she heard his rant, her eyelids twitched. Finally, Leon blurted out his thoughts all this while.

“So this is actually how you saw me in the past.” She revealed an eerie smile that shocked Leon, to

which he thought to himself, I seemed to have said something wrong just now.

And so, he quickly denied and explained things to her. “I’m sorry, Heather. I think I might have

conveyed my meaning wrong. I just think that in the past you had too high expectations of yourself.

This is not an easy life to lead. I think your current life principles are better.”

With a cold smile on her face, she looked at Leon with murder with her eyes. “It seems like you don’t

agree with my precious life principles.”

Women would always find a way to twist the original intentions of others. In this instant, Leon was

suddenly at a loss for words. He had no idea how he could continue to clarify his thoughts, so he did

not want to explain it to her without much tact. It seemed like he had not learned his lesson yet.

“Since this is the case, I think it’s better for me to wear it when we are about to head outside.” After

finding an excuse for herself so that she would not have to wear it now, she walked upstairs

immediately.

The door shut from upstairs in a few seconds. Leon regretted his actions and was quite mad at himself

for speaking without thinking carefully about his choice of words. Looking at the white dress on the

couch, he felt like an utter idiot.

Heather continued to lay in bed. The afternoon passed lazily just like that, but she felt very comfortable

about it. I didn’t know that wasting time can be such a nice feeling, she thought as she smiled furtively

to herself on the bed.

The only plan for the rest of the day was the party in the evening. For now, she did not want to do

anything and just wanted to lay in bed quietly. She did not even have the energy to eat something.

She did not have much appetite lately and she always forgot that she was hungry. She seldom had

breakfast because after she was done with her work, it was already noon. Even though it had been a

lazy day for her, she still did not have any breakfast and it was too late for breakfast at this time

anyway.

It was time for lunch but Heather did not feel hungry at all. Usually, she would feel famished around 3

PM, when her stomach was completely empty.

However, Leon’s mealtimes were very regular. The food was delivered punctually during lunch hour.

After laying in bed shortly, Leon’s knocks on the door disturbed her again.

Upon hearing that, she refused to get out of bed as she grumbled to herself, Seems like I can’t have a

nap after all. The weather is so good for sleeping today!

“I don’t want to eat.” She felt like a rebellious child who refused to eat.

“Heather, you haven’t eaten anything for a long time now. Your stomach can’t take this.” In all honesty,

Leon had remembered her schedule for her. Not only was Heather’s schedule out of the norm, her

mealtimes were also very irregular.

“But I don’t have the appetite. Can I skip this meal?” She looked at Leon resentfully, who was standing

at the door. She did not even want to leave her cozy bed.

The weather became increasingly colder, as Heather felt that she could not leave the warm bed. Just

yesterday, she was thinking about hibernating. Unfortunately, she was a human, so she still had to get

up to work and carry out her life activities.

“Even though you have no appetite, you have to eat a little. I ordered some soup. You can drink those,

at the very least.” If Heather still refused to come out, he already planned to barge into her room

directly.

Fortunately, she finally opened the door of the room with displeasure on her face as she looked at

Leon. I was perfectly comfortable by myself, yet he forced me out of the room for a meal. Who would

be happy about that?

“What did you order?” She still refused to get out of the room and Leon had the sudden urge to drag

her out of the room immediately. However, she looked rather terrifying to him right now, so he did not

dare to take any actions.

“I have some comfort food.” Thinking that he ordered quite a variety of food, there must be something

that Heather liked.

“Fine,” she said in exasperation, although he had no interest in any of them whatsoever.

“Go to the living room. When you smell the aroma of the food, you will feel like eating after that.” He

continued to encourage her, as if she was a picky child.

“I hope so.” Heather also did not know the reason for not having any desires for food except for

mealtimes.

In fact, she was even slightly disgusted when she smelled the aroma of food in the living room. She

wondered if she had anorexia but her condition seemed to be quite different from that, so she did not

pay too much attention to it.

When she reached the living room again, Leon had already put the white dress away. The food smelled

nice but she did not feel hungry at all. Instead, she even frowned unconsciously.

“You really don’t have any appetite at all?” Looking at the irritated expression on her face, he thought,

That shouldn’t be the expression for seeing food at this time.

“Yeah, I’m not hungry at all. I’m not able to eat anything even if you ask me to.” She refused to eat with

him and would much rather watch him eat instead.

Touching his chin, Leon thought that it was not that good to force her to eat, so he just nodded

forcefully. “In that case, I’ll start eating first. If you are hungry, remember to tell me earlier so I can order

some food for you.”

She looked at him suddenly. “Food delivery?” I don’t want to eat that. “Is there no other food in the

fridge?” She would rather cook something herself.

“No,” Leon replied apologetically. He was not good at cooking so he would often order food delivery.

There were many restaurants that he had yet to try.

“It’s not healthy,” Heather said worriedly.

However, Leon started eating without even replying to her. Facing his careless attitude, she felt

exasperated.

“Nothing is healthy anyway,” he finally said after a while.

“At least homemade food is healthier than outside food.” Heather insisted on her thoughts.

He smiled. “Heather, you simply can’t predict how healthy you will be. There are so many accidents

that might happen in life, so it’s better to enjoy the moment.”

With that, Leon told her his life philosophy again. To him, enjoying the current moment was most

important to him right now.

“If everyone adopts your philosophy, the world will be in chaos.” She rolled her eyes at him. It’s better

for the world to have more normal people.

“Well, you can’t be sure about that. Perhaps we might be able to immediately achieve world peace

because of that,” he retaliated enthusiastically. He loved to squabble with Heather.

“Do you think it’s that easy to achieve world peace? You better eat your food quietly!” Yet, she was in

no mood to squabble with him. She missed her warm bed at this moment and thought that it was better This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

to be slightly lazy during the winter.

“Heather, you look anxious. What’s on your mind?” Leon did not know her true thoughts, but he thought

that she looked weird.

“I want to go back to my room,” she said coldly. She did not want to have such meaningless fights with

him in the living room.

“Off you go, then. Let me have my meal in peace,” he replied nonchalantly. Seeing his carefree

expression, Heather felt an urge to punch him in the face.

After the entire conversation, she finally found out that Leon did not need her company. She

immediately felt like an idiot. After that, she stood up and walked upstairs as she did not want to stay

here for another second longer.

When Leon saw her leaving, he smiled to himself like a fool. Heather’s behavior has been rather

abnormal recently. I have no idea why she likes to stay in the room so much. In the past, she loved

going outside and keeping herself busy. How did she become more of a home person now?

After opening the door of the guest room, she felt that the warm room was completely different from the

living room. She felt more cozy here compared to the empty living room that was cooler.

On the other hand, she found it weird that Matthias did not message her at all. She opened Messenger

a couple of times before closing it but there was no message from him at all, not even a simple ‘good

morning’ or ‘good night’.

It was rare for him to stop pestering her, yet she was not used to it. She hoped that he would send

some messages to her now, even if it was just small talk.

Because of her pride, Heather was unwilling to take the initiative to speak to him first. After thinking

about it, she felt that he had not even courted her properly.

Even an outsider could not tell what exactly had been going with her and Matthias, let alone herself,

who was in the relationship. She felt increasingly confused about this relationship. What do I like about

him and what does he like about me?
