Standing before love The unbearable pain
Despite the complicated look in Myra’s eyes, she didn’t put out her hand immediately. “This document…”When she saw that Myra seemed unhappy, Olivia became nervous at once. She thought to herself, Would Myra think that I’ve gone too far by doing this? I sent the document over despite knowing that it was never mine and my mom’s in the first place; would she misunderstand me because of this? “I don’t mean anything else. Myra… Miss Stark…” Fearing that she might have addressed Myra in an overly familiar way, she addressed Myra in a more formal way despite her disappointment. Then, she held the document out further to Myra. “This isn’t mine and my mom’s in the first place—this is yours. I’m only bringing this to you in hopes that this might be of help to you…”As she noticed how the little girl’s face flushed and blanched by turns in trepidation, Myra felt sorry for her for a moment. After all, this girl and her mother were innocent. After looking at this document, she gave a sigh. “Just

Furthermore, Olivia was only a kid no more than 13 years old, so it was undeniable that Myra felt somewhat sorry for her.As he ignored the look of annoyance in Sebastian’s eyes, Tony took Myra into his arms and kissed her forehead. He then comforted her and said, “My Myra is very kind-hearted. Olivia is a good kid, so you’ll come to like this younger sister.”In truth, Tony also thought that Myra was severely lacking in familial affection. He wouldn’t expect that father of hers to show her a bit of familial affection, whereas both her mother and grandfather had passed away; besides, none of her mother’s relatives had ever come to her. Even though she looked tough on the outside, she was very vulnerable on the inside. She also longed for familial affection and her family’s company.“Well, I could tell that she’s nice.” Myra paused for a moment. “Did you bring her mother to Bradfort City?”“Yeah, I did.” Tony nodded. At the mention of this, his expression was slightly grave. “Her mothe

Cameron instantly looked hopping mad as he stared at the woman in front of him in disbelief. His Alicia used to be such a meek woman by his side, yet she became so steely only a few days after befriending Myra! “Don’t joke with me, Alicia. This matter is very serious. I—”“Does it look like I’m joking with you?” Alicia lifted the corners of her mouth while looking at the man in front of her; his face looked as though the sky had collapsed. “Today is Monday, President Stark. You have to go back to your company for a meeting, don’t you? As it happens, it appears that the Stark Group will be holding a shareholders’ meeting. Let’s see how many shares Myra can produce by then.”“You!” Cameron took a step back in shock as he felt he couldn’t understand the woman in front of him anymore. When he came to his senses, he suddenly pounced on Alicia. “You crazy woman! Are you trying to ruin me?! Is this how you repay me after how I’ve treated you in the past?!”Alicia was shocked after being sudd

Myra looked forward to the future, and she worked with the flowers as she pleased. Since she was a designer, she possessed some talent in this aspect.Time flew by as she worked with the flowers while letting her mind wander, and it didn’t take long before it was lunchtime. Thinking that it was boring to have lunch alone, she packed her lunch and brought it to the hospital, for she planned to have lunch with Alicia and Olivia.Alicia’s mental condition had improved a little, whereas Olivia was delighted about Myra’s arrival. Secretly, she was eager to be close to her sister. “Sorry for troubling you, Myra.” She was very courteous.Myra looked at Olivia with gratification; she even thoughtfully brought a nutritionally rich soup here since Alicia needed to build up her health. “You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. You have to take good care of yourself as well.” Seeing how thin and frail Olivia looked, she thought that Olivia needed some nourishment as well. Olivia is growing up

After the two of them had a brief discussion, Myra and Tony both changed into the casual clothes that the store had prepared beforehand. This was the first time Myra saw Tony in such clothing.“Focus. Don’t keep staring at me.” The corners of Tony’s lips lifted as he basked in Myra’s gaze.Her gaze had shifted to him; he looked oddly adorable dressed in such whimsical, youthful clothes with that face of his. Not only that, the tiny teddy bears printed on his shirt were just so cute. Myra wished to hug Tony, for it was rare to see him so adorable.As she retracted her gaze, Myra decided to listen attentively. They would need to start making the clothes later, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself.Meanwhile, Tony’s gaze swiveled to the side. Myra was dressed in a blouse like his shirt, and the teddy bear print brought out the youthfulness of her face. She was a gorgeous beauty with a nice smile.Lucia proceeded to carefully explain everything to them. She was a competent teacher, an

The next day, the sun was hanging high in the sky when Myra opened her eyes lazily. Tony was no longer with her in the room, but she took a sniff of the scent that he’d left behind on the comforter and smiled into the sheets contentedly.As she stretched, she reminded herself that it was a new day; any day with Tony by her side was worthy to look forward to.Time ticked by as Myra cleaned herself up just like always. She had woken up quite late today, and she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Old Master and Old Madam Hart downstairs.Moreover, Myra wanted nothing more than to bury herself in a hole when the two elders gave her a knowing smile.“Come, let’s eat—it’s getting late,” said the old lady as she smiled lovingly; she was getting more and more fond of this granddaughter-in-law of hers.Nonetheless, Myra liked living with the Harts—she could truly feel the warmth of a family in this household. Even though she was still feeling embarrassed, she didn’t want to drag on any lon

On the night of the banquet, Myra and Tony were dressed glamorously for the event—a sophisticated presentation was the best weapon on such occasions. The couple put on a solemn expression as they entered the venue. They knew that this invitation couldn’t be as simple as it seemed, so they had to be prepared to handle any situation seriously.Tony stole a glance at Myra who was beside him; she was wearing a turquoise dress which brought out her bright complexion wonderfully, making her look more beautiful than ever.Even though her waist wasn’t as slim as before, her current supple and full figure added a touch of womanly charm! The gown accentuated her elegant posture, and every move she made was filled with charisma befitting of a young mistress.Myra was able to recognize Matthias in the midst of the huge crowd after seeing his photo beforehand. She asked Tony in a low voice, “Should we go to him?”Tony was exchanging greetings with his fellow attendees, so he took a half-hearted gl

Just as Tony had predicted, halfway through the banquet, Matthias suddenly grabbed a microphone and the lively hall instantly fell so silent that only Matthias’s voice could be heard.“Thank you everyone for taking the time to attend my dinner banquet. I have been in Bradfort City for some time now, and I would like to thank you all for your care. I love this city and I am planning to move the Locke Group from Tasnia City to Bradfort City. I hope that we can continue to be great friends. I have lots to learn from all of you in the business world,” Matthias said tactfully in a humble tone. However, the cheeky smile on his face was an eyesore.After hearing Matthias’s speech, the crowd clapped loudly. Tony joined in, but he looked at Matthias with his eyebrows raised. Turns out that Matthias is planning to move the Locke Group to Bradfort City. That’s big news.On the way home, Myra and Tony sat in the backseat. Tony had drunk alcohol and couldn’t drive, so they called the Hart family’s

Standing before love Search for an answer
As Myra’s vision blurred, she fell into Heather’s arms, hearing the latter’s anxious voice calling her name.The sudden onset of pain was identical to the headache she had experienced before, but this time, it affected her whole body. Myra gripped her chest tightly, the pain threatening to cease her heartbeat. Without delay, Heather lifted her friend up.She then took Myra to the hospital in her car, but something peculiar happened. A short while after arriving at the hospital, Myra could feel that the pain had vanished.It was exactly like her headache last time, which left as suddenly as it came. Heather’s eyebrows creased in a frown as she wondered what was going on with Myra.“What did you see at the rockery?” Myra was staring in a particular direction when she fainted, but when Heather followed her gaze, she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.“A cave,” Myra answered with a hollow look in her eyes.The frown on Heather’s brows deepened. How could a simple cave cause her to b
Standing before love Memories of school
It was on the day before the wedding that Heather heard from Myra that the best man was Lucas. The moment Heather heard that name, she knew that he was one of Tony’s bros. She tried to recall Lucas’s features, remembering that he didn’t talk much and seemed to be more mature.“So, what do you think?” Myra asked teasingly, “You did say you want a best man who is tall and handsome.” She jokingly reminded Heather of what she said before.Heather smiled in response, which in turn caused Myra to feel slightly curious about it. The two proceeded to sip their drinks in silence.Myra’s wedding was just around the corner, and Heather was glad to see that Myra looked comfortable and relaxed. Myra had slight pre-wedding anxiety before, so it was nice to see that she had adjusted herself.“I’m going to give you an amazing gift,” Heather said, grinning.Myra replied, “Then I will also give you a superb gift in return.”“Why not just give me a gold card?” Heather joked.Looking at the time, Myra re
Standing before love Candidate chosen
During this period, Heather looked at Myra from time to time. The atmosphere around the table was strange, giving her a sense of foreboding. The gaze that Myra returned was intriguing, as well—it made her feel uneasy.After lunch, as everyone sat around the table chatting, Heather glanced down at the time on her cell phone with a slight frown. Noting the movement, Myra realized that she could not keep Heather any longer, for lunch had already used up quite a bit of Heather’s time.Meanwhile, the clock read 2.00 PM. It was time for Heather to be at work. After dithering for a long moment, Heather decided to be direct and opened her mouth to tell Myra, “I have to go to work, so I’m taking my leave.”As it was, Heather rarely got to visit Hart Residence and had no wish to leave so hastily, but time did not permit her to linger. With a slight nod of her head, Myra responded, “Of course! Go on.” Of those at the table, she was the only one who could truly understand how busy Heather was.Fe
Standing before love A different kind of blind
Tony had assured Myra previously that Philip and Lucas would surely show up if Heather agreed to come over. As expected, the two of them reached a while later.While Philip and Lucas didn’t confirm their attendance in the group, Tilly and Elliot confirmed that they couldn’t make it. As Tilly was completely overwhelmed by her public affairs, it had been a while since she and Elliot were separated due to her work. Hence, it was normal that Elliot would go look for Tilly when he had free time.While Shawn was busy every day as the vice-mayor, he obviously wasn’t free during the noon, so Estelle was the only one who replied in the group.‘Wait for me. I’ll be here in a bit since I wouldn’t want to miss out on Myra’s food.’ After last night, she wasn’t as afraid of Heather any longer. Moreover, it wasn’t as if she had to spend time with Heather alone because everyone else would be there as well.Since Estelle was the only person left that hadn’t reached, it wasn’t appropriate for them to s
Standing before love Candidate for the best man
After a long moment, Myra replied faintly, “We can have only one best man. Who should we pick?” There would be a quandary if they really intended to match Heather with the best man.Then, the choice for best man would become complicated, as there were currently two candidates from which Myra and Tony had to choose the one most suited to Heather.“Well, from your point of view, who would suit Heather more—Philip or Lucas?” It wasn’t up to Tony to decide, since Myra knew Heather better, anyway.“It’s hard to say. They both have their merits,” Myra replied hesitantly, wondering if she should have them meet up once more before the wedding.It felt too improper for them only to have met under the flickering lights of Zion Club and the influence of alcohol. There was a possibility that in broad daylight, Heather could feel a different spark altogether with the two candidates.“We still need to see what Heather thinks,” Tony suggested meaningfully.“Let’s find a time to meet up tomorrow,” sh
Standing before love Gathering at Zion club
Prior to Tony and Myra’s wedding, Estelle, who was busy with her shootings overseas, rushed back. Not to mention, Tilly, who was on her annual holiday, canceled her holiday and came back as well. Immediately, Myra felt like Bradfort City had become lively again because it had been a long time since she met them.However, Tony, on the other hand, valued Myra over his friends and didn’t bother about them, as he was too busy spending time with her. After some discussion, they all decided to meet each other at Zion Club, and the Messenger group chat that went quiet for a long time became active again.Besides that, Myra also added Heather into the group. This was Heather’s first group chat on Messenger because she barely used it if it weren’t for Myra. The group got even more lively with her arrival while Tony warned the others as he figured that Heather was probably not used to lively chats like this. ‘You guys better behave well and don’t scare her away.’Unexpectedly, Heather replied,
Standing before love Dare to challenge
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?“Jobbery,” Evan said.It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group f
Standing before love A hopeless chauvinist
On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, h
Standing before love The wedding preparation
When the date of Myra’s wedding drew closer, Matthias seemed to have fallen into a trance.Heather had completely given up on him, for she always looked down on men like him. Seriously though, what is his point of showing his despondency like a drama queen?Finally, it was Evan who called her and begged her to pay a visit to Matthias’s place.“I’m super busy. I don’t have the time to do so,” she rejected emotionally. Even after listening to Evan describing Matthias’s desperate situation, she had nothing but disdain for him.At that point, Matthias was basically living in his wine cellar and gave up on running Locke Group. His behavior attracted complaints from the board of directors. Even Heather was shocked to find Matthias throwing a huge fit over Myra’s wedding. In her eyes, his action was utterly despicable.“Please tell him: He does not deserve love if he only acts out like a child. He needs to learn how to love someone right before he gets all dramatic over someone again,” she h
