As soon as they got into the car, Myra turned around to ask Tony, who was focused on his driving, “You already knew that there were problems with Rachel’s pregnancy?”By the time they were done with all the drama, it was already 1 in the morning. The colorful neon lights shone around them, signaling that the nightlife in Bradfort City had just begun.Under the shadows cast by the neon lights outside, Tony’s handsome face looked seductive and alluring. His strong jawline and long eyebrows made him look strict when his eyes were narrowed, but his thin lips were arched into a half-smirk. “In the beginning, I didn’t know about it.”“When did you find out, then?” Myra fiddled with his right hand that was not on the steering wheel.Tony turned his hand over and held hers as he rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand. His eyes narrowing, he muttered, “When Kris stopped us and accused you.”Initially, Tony was not sure and he was merely guessing. Through the information Elliot provided him,
Last time around, because he believed some rumors from others, he mistakenly put Myra into jail. Not only did he change her jail’s location, he also did not treat her well. In the end, that incident almost made him lose his job.It was also during that time that he saw the man who had almost become a myth in Bradfort City treat Myra delicately. In the end, the all powerful Tony Hart had succumbed to love as well. However, Captain Fowler did not expect that Myra, who was a divorcee, would be able to successfully capture Tony’s heart. This time around, they came to the Stark Group because they knew what plans Thomas had for Myra that caused him to be in such a situation. If it weren’t for that, Captain Fowler had no plans to come here personally.Just as he promised, the three of them checked through the documents quickly, as though they were merely following the procedures.Half an hour later, Myra sent the three of them to the elevator.After they entered the elevator, Captain Fowler
“What’s wrong?” Myra did not miss the bruise at the corner of his eye. Once she lifted his head to take a closer look, her beautiful eyebrows knitted into a frown.The corner of Henry’s right eye was bruised and it was obvious that someone had beat him up. Even though it was not something serious, it was too much for a kid to handle.“Someone bullied you in school?”Myra was sure that the bruise on Henry was not from a fall. Apart from that, teachers would not beat students up, so she presumed that Henry got into a fight with his classmates.The boy avoided her glance and muttered, “I accidentally fell down during sports class today.”Seeing that Myra was still staring at him fixedly, Henry grabbed her hand and forced a smile. “Let’s go, Myra. The mall isn’t far from here, so we’ll be there soon.”However, Myra did not leave just because of his words. Instead, she pursed her lips and looked at Henry seriously. “You are not being honest with me, which makes me really unhappy.”This was
Elsie froze when she heard the whispers around her, most of which consisted of snide remarks.“Look at that homewrecker. I wonder how she can still parade around shamelessly!”“I’ve never seen a homewrecker who isn’t shameless. After all, one can’t steal another’s husband without first being thick-skinned, right?”“She does look like a sly homewrecker—and to think she was trying to intimidate others around her. She should get off her high horse and look at herself in the mirror!”Elsie stiffened. She looked around and saw that everyone was throwing scornful looks at her. The graceful and elegant front she’d put up earlier was as good as trashed, reduced to nothing.A fiery rage lit up her eyes as she marched forward, reaching out with her hand to push Henry, who had already stepped up. “What did you say, you little b*stard? You better watch that mouth of yours!”However, Myra gripped Elsie’s wrist before she could touch Henry. Elsie was shoved backward by Myra, who said coldly, “You s
There was a baby store across the boutique in which Myra and Henry were doing their shopping.It had taken some effort on Lyla’s part to convince Sean to come shopping with her for baby products. She was wearing a cotton maternity dress and a pair of flats; while her baby bump was only subtle to the untrained eye, the sales assistant could tell that she was definitely pregnant.“You know, Sean, the doctor told me that the baby is doing well. I think that means the baby will grow up to be a considerate and loving child.” When Lyla noticed that Sean was absent minded, she took his hand and placed it over her baby bump.Sean’s gaze finally flickered over to her stomach and his face softened at the mention of the child. When he saw that the sales assistant was looking at him, he looked at the crib that was propped up to one side. “We’ll take that one.”The sales assistant froze and Lyla grew awkward. She tugged on Sean’s arm once more and said softly, “Didn’t we say we wouldn’t be getting
When Sean saw that they did not have enough cash to make payment at the counter, he had instinctively taken out his card and handed it over the counter.He stared at the woman before him. She was dressed in her usual work attire and the plain outfit only flattered her figure instead of hiding it. He took in her features and realized how delicate they looked. It was as if he was truly seeing her for the first time and he found that she was almost as, if not more, attractive than Lyla. In fact, there was a serene beauty to her and she exuded a quiet sense of determination that was otherwise lost on Lyla.“You don’t have to draw such a harsh line between us, Myra,” Sean mused as his thin lips curved into a cold smile, although his gaze was impassive. “We were husband and wife, after all. I have no qualms about paying for these.”“We don’t care about whether you have qualms or not.” Myra frowned. She tried to bypass him, but she was blocked by him again. She wondered whether he was doing
“Myra wouldn’t stop complimenting you on our way here, Uncle Tony. She said that you’re very well-accomplished for your age and she complimented you for being handsome as well as kind! She also told me she likes you a lot and she doesn’t care about Sean at all! Mom told me that the reason why Myra blushes every time she sees you is because she’s head over heels for you…”Henry was rambling even as he ran away from them.“Come back here, you little rascal!” Myra bellowed after him. Her face felt like it was on fire from all the things he had said and she cursed inwardly, Ungrateful little brat. I can’t believe he’s doing this to me after he asked me to go shopping with him!“No!” Henry blinked at her with an impish grin on his face. “Just admit that you’re in love with my uncle, Myra! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about!”“Henry!” She gritted her teeth. She hadn’t realized how mischievous the boy could be and she wondered who had been filling his tender mind with all this nonsense.
“Are you trying to tell me that I’m not putting in enough work or effort, Myra?” Tony chuckled devilishly, causing Myra to flush immediately.“Keep your eyes on the road, Tony!” She snapped while growing flustered.He let out another low rumble of laughter, but other than the fact that he was holding her hand, he did not move to tease her any further.Before long, they pulled up outside Tony’s detached villa.Myra had mentioned that she liked it here and soon after that, both of them moved into the property.When they drove into the compound, a management caretaker informed Tony that he had a visitor.They hadn’t been bothered by it until they pulled up outside the villa and nearly knocked into a woman standing in the middle of the path. Myra was shocked and she let out a sharp gasp.Tony, on the other hand, frowned. He coaxed her and took the keys before he stepped out of the car to open the gate to the villa.He had only just walked away from the car when a figure hurtled toward him
