Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 250

Gemma gritted her teeth viciously when she saw the tacit understanding between the whole family.

I did not expect the Hart Family to like that woman so much. It’s not just Serena and her child! That

woman even has Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart wrapped around her finger.

I, on the other hand, feel like a total outsider! Before Tony arrived home, everybody treated me

courteously but they were mostly just going through the motions. However, once that woman arrived

with Tony, no one seemed even bothered to pretend anymore. I even noticed that Serena gave me a

cold look earlier!

Gemma had never been treated in such a way in her life.

“Old Master Hart, do you remember the incident that happened in the United States three years ago

when you were there? Tony was so busy that he forgot to pick you up and I was the one who found you

at the airport. My parents and grandparents blamed me for not taking good care of you, Old Master

Hart. If you and Old Madam Hart were to visit the States again, I will ensure that you two have the best

time in the world!” Gemma plastered a smile on her face once more while she looked at the two elders

of the Hart Family.

Lisa remained indifferent and she merely nodded calmly. Gemma was not discouraged because she

knew Lisa’s temper well. However, Sebastian merely responded in kind after she suggested that. “We’ll

see; that’s in the future.”

He seemed even colder and more distant now compared to earlier. Tonight, I specifically requested

Tony to invite Myra back home to the Hart Residence for dinner. However, Gemma showed up out of

the blue. In the beginning, I treated her courteously but after what happened earlier, I’m rather upset

with Gemma now.

After all, Sebastian might complain about Myra out loud, but he was very protective of her.

Gemma scowled slightly when she heard that, while Serena smiled warmly. “Tony has Miss Stark now.

In the future, if Grandpa and Grandma do not have anyone to keep them company in the United States,

I’m sure that Miss Stark would be more than willing to accompany them. I doubt they would trouble you,

Miss Walton. I heard that the Walton Family is moving back to Bradfort City recently, so how could we

possibly expect you to fly all the way to the United States, Miss Walton?”

Serena’s tone was gentle—she claimed that she did not want to trouble Gemma, but it was obvious

that she was hinting that the latter was merely an outsider. Even if they had to trouble someone, they

would rather trouble their family, which was Myra.

Gemma’s expression soured straight away but Lisa announced lightly, “Let’s eat.”

Gemma stopped herself from speaking just in time when she heard Lisa. She was unhappy to be

treated in such a way by the Hart Family, but she could not possibly go against Lisa.

Just as drama broiled underneath the surface, things were rather relaxed in the bathroom.

Myra washed her hands once she entered the bathroom.

However, just as she turned on the tap water, she heard footsteps following her into the washroom.

Then, she heard the door close and the click of the lock.

Myra’s heart skipped a beat because she knew that Tony wasn’t a gentleman, nor a decent one at that.

He’s locking the door when we should just be washing hands…

She immediately washed away the soap bubbles on her hands, but a figure pressed against her just

when she was turning around.

Myra took a couple steps back hastily but the man in front of her didn’t give up. He moved two steps

forward to force her against the basin.

Her face flushed red and her large eyes widened when she met Tony’s deep and teasing gaze. Myra

suddenly felt embarrassed and she shoved him away. “Tony, stop fooling around. Everybody is waiting This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

for us to have dinner!”

After the previou experience, it could be confirmed that the washroom was indeed not soundproof. She

did not want anyone outside to listen to their conversation.

Tony glanced at Myra, who was blushing, and he suddenly lowered his head. He chuckled quietly as he

murmured, “Myra, look at yourself. You are so scared, as if I’m about to devour you.”

Myra flushed an even deeper red after he teased her.

I believe this is his goal by putting me in this position while facing a dangerous man like himself!

“Well, in that case, you should wash your hands straight away. Why are you giving me that look?”

“That’s because you’re pretty, Myra,” Tony cocked a brow at her.

Although she knew that Tony was just making a casual comment, Myra couldn’t help but feel a sense of

sweetness deep down. Nevertheless, she kept a stern expression. “Quickly now; I’m hungr—!”

Before she could complete her sentence, Tony kissed her lips hard.

Later, he released her and he went ahead to turn on the tap water to wash his hands, acting as if

nothing happened between the two of them.

Myra was astounded and she regarded Tony’s serious side profile. He had a handsome face and a

chiseled jawline. In fact, he seemed as if he was the extraordinary work of the Gods, but Myra couldn’t

help but grit her teeth in frustration.

Kris has just left and Gemma pops out now. This man in front of me truly has the ability to attract

women!

“If you continue glaring at me, the whole bathroom is about to turn green.” She heard a deep rumbling

chuckle. Myra snapped back to reality, and she saw Tony’s dark and beautiful eyes staring at her from

the reflection of the mirror. His eyes were twinkling with a smile.

Her cheeks flushed red again and she glared at him stubbornly. Then, she opened the bathroom door

to leave straight away.

Tony caught up to her effortlessly and he put his arm around her waist. He moved his thin lips close to

her ear as he murmured, “She isn’t as pretty as you are.”

Myra knew clearly that he was referring to Gemma.

“You’re such a smooth talker!” Myra refuted him, but she was secretly delighted.

“Fine; in that case, you aren’t as pretty as she is, indeed.” Tony’s calm voice sounded almost like a

hooligan. In public, Myra had always assumed that he was a very serious and old-fashioned person.

Who would have expected him to act like a rascal in a shameless way?

Myra pursed her lips when she heard him. She tried untangling herself from his grip but Tony held her

waist even tighter as he laughed quietly. “However, I am in love with you.”

Myra felt as if fireworks went off in her heart. She kept a stern expression but her eyes twinkled in

delight.

Tony laughed when he saw the happiness reflected in her large and clear eyes. Then, he caressed

Myra’s head gently.

Well, she got one thing right—I’m 35 years old and she’s 24. No matter what, she is like a child in front

of me at times.

Gemma almost lost her mind to anger when she saw the two of them approaching while interacting

intimately. This was especially true when she saw Tony’s openly loving gaze for Myra.

I know how picky he is!

He would never let strange women approach him, nor would he get too close with women in general. In

fact, he has never had a female secretary before. He even put up a wall to stop women from getting

closer to him!

He has never paid attention to me either, even if I am the younger sister of his closest work partner. In

the past, I used to think that he’s just being himself and that he’s ruthless to women in general. I

thought that he would not sweet talk women like other men, nor would he get involved with them.

However, that was what made me attracted to him.

I did not expect to find out today that he is merely cruel to ‘other women’. It seems that he is capable of

gazing at a woman with such tenderness and love in his eyes.
