Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 516

All of a sudden, a person popped up in Heather’s mind—Caleb Moriarty. Is it possible that this has something to do with him? But there’s no reason for him to do such a thing since it will only degrade his status. Besides, why would he want to do that?

She dismissed the thought quickly but her phone chose that moment to ring. Not harboring any hope, she quickly opened the text.

‘Please don’t misunderstand. I’m here to protect you.’

Looking at the text, she furrowed her brows and for some inexplicable reason, she had the urge to kill this man because of his tone.

As she held back the rage inside her heart, she sent a text over. ‘I think that I’m already safe, so I don’t need anyone’s protection. If you continue to stalk me, I will call the police.’ This is the first time I’ve heard someone saying that he is stalking me in such a delightful manner. He is obviously spying on me, so how dare he say that it is for my protection?

‘If you think that calling the police will work, feel free to do so.’ The other party’s disdainful tone was obvious through the text message.

Heather looked at the text coldly and she replied after giving it some thought. ‘Since you are so confident with yourself, why don’t you tell me who you are?’

She only wanted to know who the person was. Through their conversation over text, she felt that the person was probably bluffing because the tone felt immature.

However, she didn’t receive any replies afterward, so she stared at her phone for a long while without moving. Instead, she noticed a notification from her Messenger. It turned out that Leon had sent a text to her a long time ago but she hadn’t noticed it thus far.

He now sent another text to her, so she opened her Messenger. When she opened the app to read his messages, she realized that he had sent a bunch of cute emojis to her except for one line of words. ‘Have you reached home yet?’

I almost forgot! When I said goodbye to him, I promised to text him the moment I got home, but I didn’t let him know till now.

‘I just got home’. She replied to him straight after.

On the other end, Leon looked at his phone, his expression confused. Did she walk back home? Why did she get back home so late?

Therefore, he thought that she had listened to his suggestion and went to find Matthias. ‘Did you go and find Matthias?’

‘Please use your brain.’ Heather immediately rolled her eyes as she grumbled to herself, He really has a rich imagination.

‘Then why did you get back home so late? Did you come across a pervert?’ He teased her.

Looking at the word ‘pervert’ in his text, she replied, ‘You’re right.’

The person who sent me the text is definitely the same person who followed me. After reading the person’s text, Heather was certain that he was a pervert.

However, Leon wasn’t worried at all as he had witnessed her explosive power before. ‘Did you beat him up?’

I’ve seen her fighting five strong men on her own. She is simply not an ordinary girl.

Even though Leon looked muscular, it was actually Heather who was protecting him. After that time, he completely fell in love with her. How could there be such an awesome girl in this world?

‘I didn’t see the person.’ Heather texted gloomily. If I find out who the person is, I’ll definitely give him a good beating. Somehow, I feel that I’m being fooled by someone.

After a series of strange events, she didn’t have a clue as to who the person was. She had mentally gone through all the possible suspects and in the end, she came up with a theory of her own.

‘Is there really such a pervert?’ Initially, Leon was a little sleepy but after listening to her, he suddenly became awake and he sent a video call request to her straight away.

Looking at the request, she considered whether to accept it or not. Leon has a talent for finding people. Maybe it will help if I talk to him.

After accepting his video call, Leon’s entire face immediately showed up on her screen. It’s such a Leon move to put his phone so close to his face.

“Heather, you can just tell me everything.” At the moment, he was only wearing a red muscle shirt, which made him look very inviting indeed.

Heather could tell that he was about to sleep by the looks of his outfit and occasional glimpses of his pants. When did he like to gossip this much? Doesn’t he usually sleep very early? Looks like he is all fired up as soon as he hears the pervert.

“Nothing much. Are you feeling bored lately?” Suddenly, she felt sorry for him. Leon has been in a mess lately while following me, and it stopped him from studying the various local business forces.

“Heather, you were the one who picked this place for me to stay,” he complained. There’s nothing at all in this remote place. There isn’t even a girl for me to flirt with.

“If you don’t like it, you can always move.” The reason she chose that place back then was because of its environment. Even though it was situated in a remote area, it was quite a peaceful community.

After considering it for a while, Leon shook his head. “There’s no need for that. Even though this place is really remote, it isn’t all that bad.”

Just like that, Heather discreetly changed the subject of their conversation and started chatting with him about the community there. When the both of them were beginning to feel sleepy, he finally remembered as to why he video called her in the first place.

“Heather, do you see me as your partner or your servant? I don’t like you ordering me to do things.” He did not bother to hide his displeasure.

Heather, on the other hand, didn’t consider his feelings at all as she only wanted to find the answers quickly, and this made Leon upset. As she felt a little sorry looking at him, she suddenly realized that he hated being woken up all of a sudden, so the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

“Of course we are partners. I apologize for my tone but I really need your help. Can you please help me trace a person? He is the pervert who stalked me today.” She quickly changed her attitude. At times like this, I should lower my ego. I can’t go head-to-head with him!

Upon hearing that, he calmed down a little while rubbing his head and asking in frustration, “Who is this pervert?”

After she sent the number to him, he found the owner of the number straight away as he squinted his eyes at the person’s dashing ID photo.

“These days, perverts come in all shapes and sizes,” he said while sending the person’s photo and information to her. However, after Heather took a look at the information, she realized that she might be heading in the wrong direction. She fell silent for a long while so he curiously asked, “What is it? Is it not this person?”

“No. It’s just that I think a college student wouldn’t be this capable. Also, I don’t know him at all, so there’s no reason for him to stalk me.” Heather was rather reasonable, so she wouldn’t simply accuse someone.

“How did you get this number?” As Leon looked at the number, he realized that it had been used for five to six years, which meant that it probably belonged to this boy. Therefore, she told him the entire strange encounter. After listening to her, he curled up his lips. “Looks like we have an expert on our hands. What a great move,” he praised. However, she couldn’t understand a word he was saying, so he came back to his senses and explained to her with a smile, “Someone used his phone number to send messages to you. However, he didn’t know about it because the person only used his number for an hour or two.”

“Does that mean we have nowhere to look?” she asked in a defeated tone.

At first, Leon nodded but then, he quickly shook his head. “It’s a bit tricky, but I can find the ID of the computer that was used to do this.”

“Can you help me then?” Heather did not hesitate to lower her pride as she really needed him for this.

Upon hearing that, Leon complained, “Please let me sleep first. I’m really tired.” I can’t do anything efficiently when I’m this exhausted!

“Alright. You can go to sleep now. I’m not in a rush.” Although Heather said that she was not in a rush, she was definitely anxious deep down.

After ending his video call with her, he fell asleep right away. However, on the other side, Heather still couldn’t move her eyes away from the boy in the photo. Even though Leon had explained everything to her, she couldn’t completely remove her suspicion of this boy.

On the surface, it seemed strange that an unfamiliar college boy would stalk her and order an uncle who was driving a Ferrari.

In the end, she gathered her thoughts. This really is a thrilling day with one strange event happening after another. Why do I have a feeling that my life is turning into a detective show?
