Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)
Chapter 675

In a daze, Heather fell asleep again. A nap in the afternoon was the best. She was sleeping so soundly that she no longer felt hungry. On the other hand, Leon was playing a video game in the room, feeling rather bored.

It wasn't until 4 PM that he remembered Heather hadn't eaten until now. A moment later, he came to her door again but this time, he didn't knock on the door. Instead, he kicked it open.

Seeing that Heather was sleeping so peacefully, Leon walked over with dissatisfaction and patted her cheek with his hand.

"Wake up," Leon said while patting her cheek. It was rare to see Heather sleeping like this. Was this room that cozy to fall asleep in?

Puzzled, Heather opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that a face was approaching her, she instinctively raised her head and was about to attack. However, Leon managed to dodge it.

"It's me, Heather! What are you doing?" Heather almost ruined his face with her punch. He knew very well how scary her fist was.

"Why did you disturb my sleep? Those who wake me up from my sleep deserve to die." Heather expressed her dissatisfaction like a problematic teenager.

Helplessly, Leon asked, "Why are you behaving like a child today?" To him, Heather was totally different from her usual self today.

"Don't disturb my sleep," she said with a darkened expression. For some reason, she felt that she was not getting enough sleep and she was always dreaming.

"It's already 4 PM, so we have to start preparing for the family dinner." Leon looked at the childish Heather, not knowing what to do.

"It's only 4 PM. Let me sleep in for a little while." Heather mumbled tiredly.

"It's already 4 PM!" Leon wondered if she only had her focus on 4 PM' and ignored the rest of his words.

Heather grunted and calmly got up from the bed. "Wait... What? It's 4 PM?" She widened her eyes out of the sudden and asked in disbelief.

"Are you hungry?" Leon was still concerned about her.

"Not really." She had so much sleep that she didn't feel hungry at all.

"I ordered some food for you. Have a bite or so. Besides, how can you sleep with your makeup on?" Even Leon was surprised when he said the last sentence.

"Right, I forgot to remove my makeup. Why should I apply makeup again, then?" Heather quickly got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. Fortunately, her makeup was not smudged. "Heather, you used to be a goddess in my heart, but now you're drifting further away from that image." Leon was at a loss for words as he wondered if she was trying to ruin her image in front of him. "Shut up!" She then gave Leon a death stare. Thinking about the upcoming family dinner, she could feel her head throbbing.

"Ha! Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about this." Leon flashed a silly smile at Heather and received a glare in return.

"Are you ready?" She noticed that he had changed into his casual outfit. Indeed, he couldn't stay handsome for a long time.

"I'll be done once I change into my tuxedo. I guess you need more time to prepare yourself?" After all, Leon didn't need to put on any makeup since he had such a fine-looking face. Scanning him from head to toe, Heather had an idea that popped up in her mind. Since it was still early for the family dinner...

"Hey, let me put on some makeup for you." Heather smiled slyly at him. She was well aware of Leon's pretty face. So, if she could help him make it a little better, wouldn't he be the most good-looking man in the world?

Instantly, Leon waved his hand. "There's no need for that. Why do I need to put on makeup when I'm a man?" It wasn't the first time he had rejected this suggestion.

"Leon, a family dinner is an important occasion, so you should put on some makeup to make yourself look better." Heather continued to coax him. But of course, Leon wasn't that easy to bluff.

"No, no. It's better for men to be rough-faced." Leon didn't sound convincing at all when he said this. After all, his face was so exquisite that no one could replace any flaws in it.

"Your face is so exquisite that you have blurred the boundaries between men and women. You're just as pretty as a fairy. Let me make you more enchanting with my skillful hands." Heather continued with the aim of convincing Leon to agree to her suggestion today.

"No way! I'm not going to a beauty pageant. It's better to be natural." Leon refused Heather's request. He felt that his face was perfect enough and he didn't need any touch-up done to it.

"Are you going to agree to it or not?" Heather started to be unreasonable. Since he wouldn't agree to it when she talked nicely, she would have to do it the other way then. "No way!" Leon wouldn't give in. There was no way he would compromise so easily.

"Leon, I'm not going to the family dinner until you say yes." At such a critical moment, there was a need for her to threaten him a little. As expected, Leon was stunned by her words. "Heather, you promised me, so you can't go back on your words." Leon didn't believe that Heather would go back on her words for this reason. That would be too childish of her!

"Well, I can go to that dinner with you, but I can't guarantee that I'll do what I'm supposed to do," Heather said lightly. It wasn't easy for her to have such an opportunity. Of course, she had to let him agree to her words obediently.

"Heather, are you reneging on your promise to me?" Annoyed, Leon stared at her. He could even feel his blood pressure rising unknowingly. How could she do this to him at this crucial moment?

"Nope, you can't. So, are you going to say yes or not?" Heather continued to threaten him as she had to get Leon to agree to her request.

As much as Leon knew that Heather would not do something like that, he still agreed to it to make her happy. At this time, he just wanted to try his best to please her.

"Fine, you can do whatever you want." At last, Leon still gave in. Anyway, he had had makeup on him when he was a child so now, it didn't matter anymore. He was just going to think of it as a makeup session before his choir performance in school.

"What a good boy!" Heather flashed a bright smile, thinking it was quite a good feeling to have a little fun in her ordinary days.

Pulling Leon to the mirror, she let him sit at the dressing table. Leon, on the other hand, still felt it was a little too feminine for him to put on makeup. After all, he was a real man!

"Look at yourself in the mirror." Heather wanted him to admire his pre-makeup face a little longer.

"Heather, I've seen this face for more than thousands or even millions of times, so there's nothing much for me to see." He rejected, feeling that it was too strange to stare himself into the mirror.

"Your face is going to change in a bit, so you'd better take this time and appreciate it before it is gone." Without fail, Heather could always be so ostentatious while giving a reason.

"Okay, I'm looking at it now." Leon felt that Heather was trying to fool him. He had seen her before and after makeup; there wasn't much difference at all. So, he thought that even if he put on makeup, he wouldn't look too different from his usual self.

"Your face is so exquisite. I wonder what you will look like with makeup." Heather smiled slyly. Applying makeup to men was different from that of women. The difference between men's pre and post makeup look was less significant.

In other words, Leon might not be able to tell the difference later on. Looking at his eyebrows, Heather wondered whether she should trim them, but they were in such good shape that she didn't know where to start. She was afraid that she was going to ruin them.

So, she asked tentatively, "Leon, do you want to change your eyebrows?"

Shocked, Leon widened his eyes in horror. "I think my eyebrows look fine. Why should I change them?"

Upon hearing that, Heather quickly calmed him a smile. "What I mean is that do you need to change the shape of your eyebrows?" She rephrased her sentence.

"Let me think about it." Leon looked at himself in the mirror carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see the need to retouch anything at all.

"I can get you a more delicate eyebrow shape." Heather flashed the most beautiful smile. Without looking into the mirror, she already knew how fake she looked at this moment.

Instantly, Leon was frightened by her smile. Something was definitely not right with that smile. He shook his head in a hurry. "I prefer masculine eyebrows. I think my eyebrows look fine as they are," he muttered, gently rejecting her offer.

"In that case, let me give you thicker eyebrows." Heather thought that since she couldn't trim his eyebrows, she would make them look a little thicker then.

"Won't that be a little too weird?" Leon felt that his eyebrows were just right. If Heather were to work on them, she might accidentally ruin them instead.

"Why don't we give it a try?" Unable to suppress her excitement, Heather was eager to try out her skills on his face. She really wanted to see what he would look like after putting on makeup.

Although Leon was an absolutely gorgeous man and there was nothing to improve on his face, it would still be nice to see some changes on his face.

In the end, he gave in to her request. "Alright, as long as you're happy." If that was what Heather wanted, he had no complaints at all. At least, he escaped getting his eyebrows trimmed.

Soon, Heather started her project on Leon's face. As the eyebrow pencil worked wonder under her hand, she slightly thickened his eyebrows before looking at them with satisfaction. It didn't seem bad at all. Although they no longer had the enchanting feeling from before, he indeed looked a little more masculine right now.

"Take a look at your masculine eyebrows," Heather said with confidence.

With a fake smile, Leon nodded. "Not bad, but it doesn't seem to match my face." He was naturally born with a less masculine facial shape and such eyebrows didn't seem to match his features.

"It's okay. I'll make you look masculine as a whole." Heather believed in her skills. She was absolutely sure that Leon would definitely be satisfied with her masterpiece.

His lips were slightly pink. No matter how Heather looked at it, she felt that it wasn't masculine enough. With lipstick in her hand, she wanted to change the color of his lips.

As soon as Leon saw her with the lipstick, he waved his hand in a hurry. There was no way he would compromise with putting on lipstick.

"I don't want that thing on me. It feels awkward." Leon refused with all his might as his face flushed red.

"It's okay. I'll help you." Heather smiled like a wolf in sheep's clothing, making Leon feel a chill go down his spine.

"Don't worry. I won't apply it directly. I will use a lip brush instead." She said while taking out a lip brush. Fortunately, she had all her makeup tools with her.

Yet, Leon still felt awkward. The concept of putting on lipstick was unacceptable to him and it had subverted his views and values of the world too. "Relax! This color will make you look more manly." Heather calmed him down. On the other hand, Leon was so nervous that even his body was tense. "How do I eat with lipstick on?" He couldn't imagine what would happen later on. It would be too embarrassing if his lipstick was stained on the tableware.

"Of course I've thought about this issue, which is why I put on a smudge-proof lipstick for you. Don't worry!" The way she comforted Leon was as if she was abducting a child. "Are you sure?" Leon asked doubtfully.

"You can try it out." Heather took out a napkin as she said. "Try kissing this napkin and see if it fades." She continued with a smile.

Looking at the napkin in her hand, Leon pushed it away, "My lips are reserved to kiss beautiful girls," He exclaimed arrogantly.

"Since you have no more questions, then we'll continue with what we were doing. You have to trust my skills. I'll definitely reform a brand new you." Heather said proudly with the corners of her lips quirked up. Seeing how happy she was from the reflection of the mirror, Leon felt better too. If she enjoyed the process of putting on makeup for him, then all his sacrifices were worth it!
