Myra straightened out her clothes. However, their vigorous exercise just now had long since caused her tidy office lady outfit to become a crumpled mess. Moreover, she even felt her legs giving out from under her when she got out of the car. Thus, she desperately steadied herself so as not to embarrass herself in front of the two men. Nodding at Sebastian and Shawn in a slightly awkward manner, she said, “Old Master Hart, Deputy Mayor Hart. I’m sorry for dropping by so suddenly.”Sebastian noticed her slightly reddened eyes, then he glanced at his grandson’s stiff back. After that, a difficult expression surfaced on his face. He more or less guessed what had happened and immediately glared at his grandson fiercely. “Myra was still in the car! Why did you just walk off all alone?!”At that moment, he completely forgot about his dissatisfaction toward Myra and began verbally attacking Tony instead. He couldn’t help thinking, How can this man be so ignorant of what’s good and bad when he
Myra’s face was blushing crimson—she felt extremely embarrassed. Thus, she quietly started eating and did not look at the man next to her again.Soon, Henry became energized again and began to pile various dishes on Myra’s plate. “Myra, this sweet and sour pork is delicious. Here; have some. Also, my mother told me that this collagen soup is very good for your skin and beauty. Here; I’ll get you a bowl of it. Myra, this is tasty! The pineapple fried rice that Mrs. Frye makes is the best in the world! Come; I’ll get you some!”Only Henry’s cheerful chatter could be heard at the dining table. It was also precisely because Myra had him next to her that she breathed a small sigh of relief. Otherwise, she didn’t know how long the awkward atmosphere at the dining table would last.She picked up the bowl of collagen soup in front of her. Just as she was about to take a mouthful, she suddenly felt a dry and hot hand placing itself over her thigh. Tony is up to his old tricks again. Due to the
Myra wept bitterly. She had wanted to give the Hart Family a good impression today. Unfortunately, the atmosphere today was probably ruined.The veins on Tony’s forehead bulged. How could he not feel heartbroken at the sight of her crying so sadly? Thus, he hugged her tightly. His voice also became kinder. “Alright; alright. I’m sorry for kicking up a fuss over nothing. Don’t cry anymore, okay? If you don’t want to continue eating, we can leave. We’ll go home, okay?”Now that his voice was much gentler than before, his deep and low voice gradually soothed the upset feelings in her heart. After a while, she gripped his white shirt tightly and opened her mouth to speak. At that moment, somebody pulled open the bathroom door from the outside without any warning.When she touched the door handle just now, she had unlocked the lock. However, he had caught her and pulled her back before she could open the door. As the door opened at that moment, Tony lifted his eyes and annoyedly glanced in
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
