Chapter 149
Standing Before Love
Myra eventually lost her temper and flung the bag at him. âIâm not changing into anything!â she fumed.
After she shrugged him off, she ran straight toward the car in front of her. During this time, however, she did not think of taking a cab back home.
Being considerate and tolerant was necessary in a relationship. Both she and Tony already lacked both of those traits, but they were still able to learn how to love each other.
By the time she arrived at the car, she still had to wait for Tony to get there.
He walked toward her at a steady pace and shot an eyebrow up at her before unlocking the doors.
Without a second thought, she got into the car.
After he got into the car and locked the doors, he suddenly pressed up against her.
Looking straight into her flustered eyes, he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
âDonât be mad anymore, okay?â
She felt like she was an even bigger hypocrite now. Just because he said those words, the grievances in her heart simply washed away. Biting her lip out of frustration, she turned away from him.
Tony turned her face back toward him and kissed her eyes. âWho told you to let me spot you with that fellow when I had come rushing back to see you? It made me upset.â
âYouâre upset? What about me?â She pushed him away slightly. Looking at him with her big, clear eyes that were filled with despair, she retorted, âWhen you flirted with women at social gatherings, I didnât say anything about it. When I called you the other day, I ended up hearing a girl at your house. Donât you know how miserable I felt? Not to mention, you⦠claimed that you liked me as though you donât have another woman, but the truth is you have a crush on a woman that youâve never told me about!â
He felt sorry just seeing the accusing look in her eyes. After giving her a peck, he shook his head obliviously. âIâve never flirted with other women at social gatherings before. Thatâs slander. As for the night you called, the person who came to look for me was Gemma, the Young Lady of the Walton Family. She was able to find my address because of her brotherâs connections, but nothing is going on between us. The crushâ¦â His eyes sank when he got to that point, and his voice also became slightly raspy. âItâs true; I do have a crush on a woman.â
Myraâs body stiffened, and her eyes filled with disbelief.
Without waiting for her response, he let out a low chuckle and said, âI have a crush, but isnât she my girlfriend now? Myra, if you insist on being jealous of yourself, I canât stop you either.â
There was a tear still hanging on her eyelash. Upon hearing his words, she blinked and the tear rolled down.
He wiped away the tear with a kiss then proceeded to kiss her lips.
When she started to run out of breath in his arms, he finally let go. Biting her lip one last time, he knew that she was back to herself after hearing her wince in pain.
Before this, she used the first two issues to keep scores with him in order to build up her argument, but his answer to her last accusation caught her by surprise. He admitted to having a crush, but that woman⦠is me?
She quivered. Biting her lip, she looked at the man in front of her and asked, âAre⦠you telling me the truth?â
Hearing her suspicious tone, he narrowed his eyes and a dangerous light flashed across them. âYou donât believe me?â
âI-I believe you now!â she blurted.
She pushed him away. Since they were at such a close distance, his manly scent surrounded her and made it impossible for her to think straight. She also forgot to ask when he had started to develop feelings for her if she was really the woman he had a crush on.
In a calm demeanor, he sat back in the driverâs seat to start the engine and leave the place.
But he was just⦠She cursed at him again, You devil!
After they drove off, a woman slowly snuck out from behind a car.
The woman had an exquisite appearance and was wearing makeup that was perfect for her. At this moment, however, her expression looked tense and hideous. Sasha was just passing by the area, but she could never have imagined that Tony and Myra were really dating. I thought he was only joking, but he even came out shopping with her and let her use his wallet! His credit card!
A wave of anguish and anger washed over her. Without any hesitation, she took out her phone and made a call. As soon as the person picked up, she exploded, âSean! I told you before that Myra is not a simple woman, but you didnât believe me. Just a minute ago, I saw her and Director Hart from the Hart Group shopping together!â
She thought, Myra must have used some shameful tactics to get Tony into her hands. The thought aggravated her.
Sean was already in a terrible mood, but his face sank when Sasha delivered the news to him. He scoffed. âShe wants to ruin herself now. What does that have to do with me?â
As he was saying that, his frustration continued to build up inside. He floored the gas pedal and quickly brought the car speed up to a hundred and twenty.
Sasha chewed on her lip. Well, she and Sean are divorced now. Thereâs nothing much he can do about her.
After thinking for a moment, she accused, âShe was the one who stole our companyâs designs back then, but I donât know what sort of deal she made with Tony for him to attack our Hay Group. Sean, I just think youâre so much better. Women like her are the worst!â
Sean was angry. Yes, itâs not worth it to get caught up again with someone like Myra. I have Lyla, and my life is getting better. Why do I have to care about whether Tony eventually abandons her or not?
He was certain that Tony would leave her. After all, how could a man like him accept Myra? Even if he did, would the Hart Family be able to accept a divorced daughter-in-law?
Letting out a final scoff, he hung up on the call.
Myra looked at Tony as he focused on driving. Eventually, she said in a small voice, âEverything ended between Sean and me right after the divorce.â
