Chapter 96 Why Were You Standing Here At Midnight

She thought things would work out as she expected. But it seemed that everything was back to the first place. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

These days, Heidy and Hearst hadn't reached an agreement. Unless they met by chance, they wouldn't meet each other. As the doctor pronounced the result of Gavin's disease, Hearst still remained indifferent to Heidy. They were like strangers to each other. Heidy was heartbroken when she saw that everything had changed.

In the club, Heidy sat on the sofa with a glass of water in her hand. She looked ahead silently. At the moment, Jessica and Tony were playing the game. And Heidy just watched them from a distance and did not take part in it. She wanted to drink and get drunk, but she had to keep drinking water because of her pregnancy. Thinking of this, Heidy felt herself so pathetic.

Jessica turned to her and put her arms around Heidy's neck. She smiled and said, "Heidy, don't think about it anymore. They should be happy as they seldom had the chance to go out today. You can think about those unhappy things later."

Heidy smiled bitterly and spoke in a melancholy tone, "I wish I could think about it later, but I just can't control my mind. I guess that's why I'm destined to live such a miserable life."

Jessica patted Heidy on her head and said, "You're asking for trouble. Never mind. Hugh will make you feel better." After saying that, she winked at Hugh and continued to play the game with Tony.

Hugh sat opposite her and calmly looked at her worried face. He raised the glass and said calmly, "Every time you have something on your mind, it's because of that person. Since you're so miserable, how about letting it go?"

Hearing him, she was lost in thought. She slowly looked up at the man opposite, shook her head and said, "No."

He looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why? Since you are not happy, why are you insist on being with him? If it goes on like this, you will end up getting hurt."

Looking at the transparent liquid in the cup, Heidy slowly leaned back and did not speak. Being silent for a moment, Heidy smiled and said, "Even if everyone looks down on me, I will stick to it, because this is my choice. Since I have made my choice, I have to bear the consequence."

Hugh was surprised by her answer. He didn't expect that she would say something like that. Thinking of this, Hugh could not help but have a bit of admiration for Heidy. "Do you really love him?" Hugh slowly asked.

The emotionless man emerged in her mind. With a smile on her face, she said slowly, "Yes, I love him."

Hugh didn't say anything. He just stared at somewhere. Hearst's face emerged in his head. With his eyes narrowed, he gripped the cup more tightly. "Are you sure he can make you happy? Maybe he's just a frivolous man who likes to fool around with other people's feelings," Hugh said calmly.

Hearing this, Heidy looked at him and shook her head, "No. although I have known him for only a short time, I can feel it. At least, in the face of love, he is serious."

Hugh didn't answer. He just shook the wine in the glass and said with a smile, "Maybe he is hiding himself so well that you can't see his heart. I advise you to let him go, Ms. Heidy. Forced marriage didn't mean happiness. I don't think he is a responsible man. He seldom cares about you after you are pregnant."

Heidy lowered her head and said nothing. She smiled bitterly when she thought of Gavin. She really didn't want to turn the situation into a deadlock because of Gavin. Thinking of this, she felt sad. Heidy didn't say anything, but raised her head and drank quietly.

Hugh didn't say much. He changed the topic, simply chatted with her and drank with her. But when he saw her gloomy face, Hugh couldn't help but frown. Thinking about talking about Hearst, Hugh's eyes became darker.

After leaving the club, Heidy planned to go home directly. But she suddenly remembered the conversation with Hugh. She said she had to hold on. If the tension kept going on like this, she didn't know how this relationship would end. Thinking of this, she grasped the steering wheel tightly and drove to another direction.

She kept driving fast all the way. Half an hour later, she came to Hearst's villa. She rang the doorbell and a servant came to open the door. The servant was surprised to see her. "Mrs. Heidy, you're back."

Instead of entering her room, Heidy smiled and asked, "is Hearst at home?"

"No, he isn't home yet. You can get inside and wait for him," the servant gave way and said with a smile.

Heidy shook her head and replied calmly, "No, thanks. I'll wait here." Then she turned around and faced the gate. The summer night was a little hot. Standing at the door, she waited quietly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Hearst's car arrived at the house. As soon as she saw him, she stood up and looked at him with great expectation.

Hearst and Annie were standing side by side. Seeing her, Annie said unhappily, "What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."

Ignoring what she said, Heidy moved her eyes on Hearst and said seriously, "I want to talk to you, Hearst."

Hearst walked up to her side and replied, "We have nothing to talk about." After that, he walked towards the gate.

Seeing this, Heidy turned around quickly. When he was about to enter the door, she shouted, "I have to talk to you today. I will wait for you here, when you want to talk to me."

Holding the doorknob tightly for a few seconds, Hearst said coldly, "Do whatever you want." Then, he walked away without looking back.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Heidy felt something heavy in her heart. She took a deep breath with a firm look on her face. "No matter what, I will wait for you. I will never give up easily," said Heidy quietly.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, when Hearst came out of the bathroom after a shower. He wanted to go to bed directly, but he couldn't help thinking of what just happened. The next second, his legs were out of control and he went to the balcony of the next room. He poked his head out and saw Heidy standing at the door, waiting quietly. Seeing this, Hearst frowned.

Standing where he had been for a while, Hearst finally made his mind clear. Then he turned around and walked towards his bedroom. Hearst told himself not to be softhearted. There were still many issues remained to be solved between him and Heidy

Time passed by in seconds. Heidy looked down at her toes in silence. Gradually, the originally hot night became cold, and she felt a little chill. But she would never give up so easily.

She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was already past midnight. She rubbed her hands and continued to walk around in order not to be too bored. "Hearst, let's see if I means nothing to you," murmured Heidy softly.

On the other side, in the study, Hearst was sitting at his desk, reading files, unable to concentrate on his work. When he looked at the clock on the wall, it was nearly one o'clock in the morning. Then he frowned. No car horns came from downstairs, indicating that she was still there. But it was also because of this that he could not help but become annoyed.

Putting down his pen, Hearst scratch his hair with his hands and said in a hoarse voice, "You idiot! How long on earth do you want to keep standing?" But he didn't know the answer to this question.

Then he continued to sit in the study, but he was in no mood to deal with the company's affairs. He kept thinking of Heidy and imagined her expression at the moment.

He stood up and started to walk towards the next bedroom. Secretly standing on the balcony, he could see her shadow being dragged long under the street lamp. Her thin figure seemed to be swallowed by the darkness. Seeing this, Hearst frowned more tightly.

He stood there, hesitating for a long time. He wanted to walk downstairs, but he tried to control his impulse to do so, and both of their fists were clenched tightly. Just when he was struggling in his mind, a sneeze came and he opened his eyes. Seeing that, Hearst couldn't restrain himself anymore. He got up quickly and ran out of the door.

Annie happened to walk to the door and saw him going downstairs in a hurry. She asked with his eyes wide opened, "Hearst?"

However, Hearst didn't hear her and left as fast as a gust of wind. Annie stood still with astonishment in her eyes. When she saw his action, she knew that he was looking for. Thinking of this, Annie bit her lips.

Downstairs, Heidy lowered her head and held herself in her arms coldly. She wanted to jump a little to get some extra warmth, but she was worried that it would hurt the fetus. When she was thinking about

a better idea to keep warm, the door was pushed open from outside heavily. She quickly looked in the direction of the light. With a smile on her lips, she said, "Hearst."

With a livid face, Hearst came up to her quickly and scolded, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know you are pregnant and need to be taken care of? Why are you standing here in the middle of the night?"

Seeing that he could not breathe steadily, she speculated that he must have run all the way down. Looking at his sullen face, Heidy smiled and said, "If I didn't do that, would you come out to see me?"
