After Myra said that, her face looked like it was about to burn from how red it was. She quickly sat upright in her seat and started the engine to depart.Meanwhile, the man who was on the receiving end of her affection glanced at a shady place in the rearview mirror and smiled with a profound look in his eyes.Sean’s car was still parked behind them.It was as if he had been possessed earlier. After getting into his car, he did not leave right away but drove to the school’s gate instead as though he was waiting for something.While he looked at the merry food stalls on the side of the street and the happy crowd of people, his eyes were out of focus for a long time.Did this place carry a lot of memories that he shared with Myra?The principal’s words kept circling around in his mind: ‘When it comes to certain people, don’t wait until they’re gone to feel regret. Myra deserves as much as you can give her. If another turning point comes around, you should hold on tight to it.’Do I sti
“Trying to hit on Myra?” Sean felt pain shooting up from his abdomen but couldn’t care less about it at the moment. His eyes were slightly reddened like a cornered beast’s. Looking at Tony, he sneered, “Just who is the one trying to hit on Myra here? If it wasn’t for you, Director Hart, the person accompanying her to the mall right now would be me!”“You?” Tony raised his long and slanted eyebrows slightly while flicking the ash off his cigarette. “Why don’t you tell me, Director Chase; just how many times have you ever accompanied her to the mall in the past two years? Or, should I say…” He took a drag on his cigarette, his eyes growing frosty. “How many times have you accompanied other women to the mall before?”Sean’s expression changed greatly. “This is between us as husband and wife. It is none of your business.”“Ex-husband and ex-wife.” Tony narrowed his eyes. A dark emotion flowed through his eyes as he spat out the words, “One that exists in name only.”For an instant, Sean f
Myra felt something warm budding in her heart. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand that was pretending to take stuff out of the small shopping cart and interlaced her fingers with his. Then, she softly said, “I’ll just order them online for her. You don’t need to put any of the stuff you like back.”Tony lifted his eyebrow at her and wryly said, “That’s not good, is it?”Looking at his insincere and sanctimonious attitude, she squeezed his fingers hard. I’ve never seen a more shameless man than this guy. At the same time, she exasperatedly said, “It doesn’t matter. We bought enough today anyway.”Only then did he seem satisfied. He twisted his hand out of her grip to hold her hand instead while pushing the shopping cart along as he continued onward. She watched as the corners of his mouth lifted into the faintest smile. It was hard for her to imagine his cold and indifferent appearance, and her heart softened even more.Finally, they pushed the shopping cart over to the cashier to chec
Not long after, the car arrived at a small residential area and stopped in front of a villa located in the deepest part of the area. The villa was not very large, but it was very exquisite. There was a small garden inside; various flowers and plants also trailed down from the second-floor balcony. There were white tiles, red brick walls, wooden fences, and even a small pond inside the garden. Beside the pond stood a cherry tree, giving the entire garden an idyllic feeling.A caretaker stood outside the villa. When he saw Tony’s car, he hurriedly came forward to take the keys from Tony and opened the garage door on the first floor. Upon returning the keys, he heard Tony’s indifferent voice saying, “Close the garage door behind you.”The caretaker seemed taken aback for a moment. However, he quickly nodded in response and left, not forgetting to close the garage door behind him.When Myra heard what Tony said to the caretaker, she immediately became vigilant and wanted to get out of the
Kris was way more intelligent than Sasha. She pretended not to know who Sebastian was at the start so that she could take her time and create a good impression on him. Although this trick might work on ordinary old men, Sebastian had seen all sorts of tricks in his life. Therefore, he simply glanced at her indifferently before turning back to continue ringing the doorbell.She couldn’t help feeling somewhat humiliated when she saw that he was ignoring her. She was about to say something. At that moment, he muttered under his breath after being ignored despite ringing the doorbell several times, “Strange; what is going on? I clearly saw them heading here. Why is nobody answering the door? Could it be that they didn’t come here?”He had left the clubhouse out of boredom today. Thus, he asked his driver to turn the car around and head to the mall instead. He suddenly had a craving for fish, especially the steamed fish Myra made the other day. As soon as his car entered the underground pa
My little grandson has always been rebellious and undisciplined. I shouldn’t have sent him to the United States back then. All he did there was learn a bunch of bad habits! It’s still broad daylight outside, how can he be so depraved?! Sebastian’s aged face turned even redder. He also became angrier. “If you don’t open the door, I will call Myra instead! She will surely open the door for me!”He acted as if he was going to call Myra with the phone in his hand. In reality, he was only friends with her on Facebook. He did not have her phone number. He had messaged her on Messenger, but she had yet to reply to him. He also called Tony’s number just now, but Tony’s phone had been turned off. If Kris had not mentioned that she saw Myra and Tony heading inside, I would have left a long time ago!At the mention of Myra’s name, Tony narrowed his eyes slightly. Meanwhile, Sebastian stared straight into Tony’s eyes. Their gazes collided and clashed like a lightning storm. After a long while, To
Admit it; you like this, don’t you?” Tony pulled his lips into a grimace. He turned around and headed into the living room, leaving behind the angry old man.“Only you like this! Your entire family likes it!” Sebastian finished speaking, only to realize that his statement included himself. Thus, his aged face was so furious that even more wrinkles appeared. Lisa is still the best. She doesn’t upset me like this. All of a sudden, he felt as if he had wasted an entire afternoon away when he could have had lunch with his wife instead. Why did I visit this stupid couple just to make myself angry? How stupid of me!While Myra was busying herself in the kitchen, Tony settled some company affairs with his laptop in the living room while Sebastian pretended to read the newspaper next to him. One hour later, lunch was served.Sebastian wasn’t sure if it was done on purpose. However, all of his favorite dishes were placed in front of him. Meanwhile, Tony only had a plate of plain spinach in fro
“Heh…” Tony chuckled softly. Even Cameron could hear the deep ridicule hidden within the laughter. Cameron clenched the phone tightly in his hands and asked, “Director Hart, what… is the purpose of your call today?”Tony flicked the ash off his cigarette and faintly replied, “Naturally, I’m here to give my future father-in-law a present. I heard that the Stark Group was trying to obtain the Elsinore Garden Project recently.”As if he didn’t know in the first place. Cameron’s eyes gleamed. “Director Hart, are you—”“I will hand over another 3% of the profits in the Elsinore Garden Project if you let Myra take the position of the Stark Group’s general manager and take charge of this project. What do you think?”Without waiting for Cameron to express his opinion, Tony addressed the person on the other end of the phone as ‘father-in-law’. Then, he said something about handing over the profits to the Stark Group on the condition that Myra took the position as the general manager of the com
