Chapter 165
Standing Before Love
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. âWhat are you watching?â
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 wasnât injured. âYouâre finally back.â
He did not know if it was his imagination, but the way she said the word âfinallyâ seemed a little coy. He narrowed his eyes slightly. âDid you miss me?â
âI did.â 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 that she missed him so straightforwardly and boldly. Pulling her into his embrace, his voice became significantly hoarser. âGrandma wants us to stay over tonight.â
She was slightly taken aback. They want me to stay over at the Hart Residence tonight? It looks like they have accepted my relationship with Tony. Thatâs surprising; I thought I failed to leave a good impression on those two elders tonight. The corners of her mouth curved slightly. At the same time, she obediently snuggled deeper into his embrace. âIâll do as you wish.â
Her warm and soft body lay in his arms just like that. For a moment, he was completely stunnedâhe probably never expected for her to act so out of character. Lifting her chin suddenly, he made her clear eyes meet his gaze that was surging with an undercurrent of emotions. âWhy are you so obedient tonight?â
Her face flushed with a red glow upon hearing those words, and she turned her head away. âIf you donât like it, we can always go home.â Iâm only pretending to be calm. How can I possibly endure staring into his eyes for such a long time?
She only heard a deep and low voice reverberating in her ears. In the next moment, he pulled her entire body into his armsâshe was already sitting in his lap before she could react.
âTony, there are other people in the houseâ¦â She was terribly afraid that he might do something crazy right here and right now regardless of their surroundings. Therefore, her face turned bright scarlet. She also did not dare to speak loudly and could only whisper to the man in front of her.
âDid you know that Grandma did not prepare a guest room for you?â The man suddenly nibbled on her earlobe while speaking in a hoarse voice.
She didnât react immediately. By the time she came back to her senses, her body started to burn in response. On the other hand, he laughed instead. When he laughed, his chest vibrated slightly.
Moreover, his laughter was filled with a domineering and possessive aura.
She knew he said that to her on purpose. Still⦠even if Old Madam Hart prepared a room for meâ¦
based on Tonyâs temperament, I would still have to sleep in his room⦠Her cheeks became warm as she pushed him away. âIâll go and ask Mrs. Frye to see if she can prepare a room for me.â
âPrepare a room for you?â He clamped down tightly on her waist and squinted at her dangerously.
By this time, she was blushing so hard that her blush crept along the base of her neck. She no longer dared to look into his eyes. His eyes seemed to contain two little dancing fireballs that threatened to flare into a large fire at the slightest provocation. Feeling the danger emitting from him, she bit her lip and suddenly kissed him on his thin lips. âDonât cause any more trouble, okay? Letâs watch TV for a bit.
Your house is full of people. If you kick up another fuss, I wouldnât dare to come here with you again.â
Her kiss felt as if she was trying to ingratiate herself to the man in front of her and appease him. Thus, she was snuggling in his arms and playing coy like a docile little kitten. He had to admit that his heart was being soothed by the woman in front of him. I hate how Iâm always wrapped around her finger. But, even I have to admit that I quite enjoy this situation.
All of a sudden, he hugged her fiercely and lowered his head so that his thin lips met her pink lips. He kissed her like he was trying to dominate her, roughly licking and biting her lips. When she moaned softly, he immediately stuck his tongue into her mouth, fiercely making out with her without holding back. Soon, her office clothes were pulled down to her chest.
She didnât notice at the beginning. By the time she realized it, his thin lips were on her neck. Thus, she hurriedly shoved him away. âTony⦠We agreed to watch TV⦠What are you doingâ¦â
Although he was pushed away, his eyes were as dark with passion as they could be. âAre we really only watching TV?â
Her body was hot and soft. Feeling torn, she whispered, âYou⦠beast!â
Following that, she swiftly put on her clothes again. After being messed up three times today, her office lady outfit was in such a terrible condition that it could not get any worse. He even tore a button off the top just now. Therefore, it could no longer prevent her ample bosom from being exposed. At that moment, her disheveled uniform gave off a seductive vibe and made her figure even more alluring.
Tonyâs gaze darkened significantly. In a hoarse voice, he said, âGrandpa headed directly into his bedroom after leaving the study just now.â
Myra was aroused by the look in his eyes. Despite that, she forced herself to ask calmly, âSo?â
âGrandma and Grandpa generally do not leave their bedrooms at night. Serena and Henry donât have a habit of getting up at night either. As for Shawn, we can simply ignore him.â He looked straight into her eyes. His eyes were as deep as the sea. At the same time, it felt as if there was a vortex inside his eyes that was trying to pull her into them.
She suddenly felt parched and thirsty. Even so, she pushed him away. âDonât lean any closer. Itâs still so early. Why donât you watch some TV with me? Or, you can go and deal with work matters instead.â
She recalled that he was very busy recently. When he heard the last sentence she said, he immediately felt annoyed. I have only heard of women complaining that their husbands were so busy that they were being neglected. I have never heard of a woman like Myra, who would rather encourage her husband to work than let him spend some time with her.
Noticing that his mood immediately turned sour, she felt her heart melting slightly. Thus, she shook his arm slightly. âWhy donât you watch some variety shows with me? This episode is quite amusing.â After saying that, she added, âOkay?â
She was truly acting spoiled when she asked that last question. In the past, she had never tried acting spoiled in front of anybody before. Although her face was flushed in embarrassment after saying that, her clear and distinct eyes stared at him unblinkingly.
His eyes narrowed slightly. Turning his head, he glanced at the screen of the TV. A bunch of men and women were playing some sort of game together. Pursing his thin lips, he said, âThis isnât amusing at all.â
âLetâs watch something else then.â She stuffed the remote control into his hand. Her attitude indicated that she was asking him to switch channels.
Tony turned his head and glanced at her. Her eyes were filled with expectation. Seeing that, something flashed across his eyes. Then, he tossed the remote control on the coffee table. âI recall having several horror movie DVDs in my car. Iâll go and grab them. Letâs watch those.â
Myra wasnât bothered by his suggestion. Horror movies did not scare her, no matter how scary they were. After all, she often watched them with Estelle. Thus, anything was fine as long as they didnât return to their room too early. Still, she couldnât help thinking that something was up. Nodding, she suddenly thought of Meow. She caught Tonyâs arm and said, âI just remembered; where is Meow? Is it still in the car?!â
