When Tony came downstairs, he saw Myra sitting on the sofa in the living room alone. She was busy enjoying some fruits. He had been in a bad mood ever since he came out of the study. However, his spirits lifted after he came downstairs and sat beside her. Settling down next to her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed the side of her face. His deep and low voice sounded and lingered in her ears. “What are you watching?”A variety show was playing on the TV, and she had a faint smile hanging from the corner of her lips when he embraced her. She carefully looked him up and down, seeming to breathe out a sigh of relief upon seeing that he wasn’t injured. “You’re finally back.”He did not know if it was his imagination, but the way she said the word ‘finally’ seemed a little coy. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Did you miss me?”“I did.” She nodded without hesitation.His breath hitched at her words. She was the type to feel shy easily, so it was the first time she admitted
Tony glanced at her with a faint smile. “Now you remember about it.”Myra had forgotten all about Meow after their conflict today. Thus, she squirmed with embarrassment. Meanwhile, he was already heading out the door. “Relax; Mrs. Frye has already let it out into the garden outside. You don’t need to worry about it.”Upon hearing that, she finally felt relieved.Tony soon returned with a bag in his hands. That bag seemed rather familiar for some reason, but Myra could not place where she had seen it before.His figure was tall and broad. He had gone for a smoke when he went outside and returned with a cigarette casually held between his fingers. He was still wearing the white shirt and black pants that he wore during the day. Although he had his sleeves rolled up in a casual, at-home look, he still looked extremely handsome. She watched him walking over. Looking into his slightly narrowed eyes, she felt her heart rate increasing and hurriedly shifted her gaze away to look at the TV in
Tony’s eyes narrowed and he stopped walking up the stairs. Instead, he skirted around the coffee table and picked up Myra’s bag from the sofa before taking out her phone.Although there was no caller ID, with Tony’s strong memory, he clearly knew who this number belonged to.A frosty look flashed across his eyes. His thin lips twitched, then he swiped across the screen to answer the call and said blankly, “Hello?”There was a strange silence on the other end. In an instant, the caller hung up.A sardonic smile appeared on Tony’s face. He played with the phone for a while; his eyes were contemplative. Then, clutching the phone in his palm, he brought the bag of things upstairs to his bedroom.Myra had already entered the bathroom, and the sound of water from inside was rather loud. Tony nonchalantly threw the bag onto the sofa in front of the bed, then fished out Myra’s phone and placed it on the bedside table before going to the next room to take a shower.It was early autumn, so it w
Throwing down another cigarette butt, Sean suddenly thought back to when Myra had just gotten married to him.At that time, she wasn’t as desolate as she was later on. Every day, she would face him with the positivity of a newlywed wife. When he got up in the morning, she would personally make breakfast for him; when he came back in the evening, she would hurry to greet him and help him get his coat. She would remember his birthday, and she would remember that he had a history of stomach issues. She would remember that he liked eating bland food, remember all the things he liked and disliked, and remember all the little things about him, even if he never slept with her or never ate a single meal she cooked.Now that he thought about it, in order to see Myra in despair, he didn’t know how many things he had done to agonize her.And at that time, did he really make Myra miserable because she had gotten in the way of him and Lyla’s child?Could it be that he had deliberately acted that w
Myra hesitated. Serena, who was next to her, took the box and stuffed it directly into her hands. “My grandma’s giving it to you, so just keep it. You don’t need to be shy.”Myra nodded and opened the box. Inside was an emerald bangle that was glittering and translucent. It was beautiful.Surprised, she looked at Lisa. The old lady’s face was blank. “Have a good future with Tony.”Holding the box, Myra’s heart eased and her features softened. “Thank you, Old Madam Hart.”Lisa gave a brief nod, then turned and walked upstairs.Myra left the Hart Residence with Henry’s driver.The driver blabbed, “I wonder who was smoking outside the residence last night. There are cigarette butts all over there… Tsk, tsk…”Myra didn’t think too much about it.Henry was chattering while asking her to come back to the Hart Residence again next time.“Myra, my mom said that you’re going to marry my uncle. Is that true?” Henry asked suddenly.Myra was startled. A blush crept up her face as she patted his h
Myra’s heart fluttered. Tony’s smile contained too many emotions, and it confused Myra for a while. What does he mean by that? Is he upset because I want to draw a line between us in front of Kris?Myra spread the first draft on the coffee table in front of the man. As she tucked the hair that had fallen out of place behind her ears, she asked tenderly, “How about a cup of black coffee?”During the time they had spent together, Myra noticed that when he was working, he had the habit of drinking black coffee.Tony saw Myra looking straight at him, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his sharp eyes. He became even more irritable. Placing the cigarette back on his thin lips, he turned to look at the drawings on the table, then answered curtly, “Sure.”His cold response stunned Myra, but it made Kris smile. “Sis, please hurry up and bring a cup of black coffee. Don’t leave our distinguished guest waiting for too long.”Having said that, her beautiful eyes fixed Myra with an icy stare.My
Kris was bewildered, and a hint of surprise surfaced in her heart. She looked at the unsmiling but extremely captivating man in front of her. The thought of him coming alone to find her struck her mind. Now, he was agreeing to her invitation. Could it be that he’s… actually into me?Without waiting for her, Tony had already stepped forward with his pair of long legs and was walking out.Kris hurried to catch up. When passing by Myra, she didn’t forget to slam hard into her shoulder while saying delightedly, “Tsk. Don’t waste your time. I’m telling you; this man is mine! Myra, I know you’re also interested in him, but you should take a look at your current identity. I advise you not to waste your effort anymore!”After speaking, she caught up with the man in front, and the two of them walked toward the elevator together.Myra slowly turned around. At the elevator, the two of them seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions became more easy-going. Myra could see that the
This meal was probably one that Kris had spent the most thought on.Yet, somehow, Tony’s expression was sour from the very beginning. Ever since they entered the private room, Kris’ advances had been repeatedly turned down.“Director Hart, I heard that you love playing golf. I quite like it too. My father was the one who taught me. I wonder if we can play together soon.”Kris tried to remain calm as she expressed her status in the Stark Family in hopes of giving herself extra credit.When she ate, she acted even more elegant than usual.Tony took out a cigarette and lit it before casting her a glance. “I’ve been busy lately.”Kris’ body went slightly stiff, but she quickly recovered with a laugh. “That’s normal. Since you’re busy, we’ll talk about it again in the future when you’re free. By the way, Director Hart, how high of a chance does the Stark Group have of cooperating with the Hart Group on the Elsinore Garden Project?”The fact that Tony came to the Stark Group to personally m
