Chapter 189
Standing Before Love
Not long after, the car arrived at a small residential area and stopped in front of a villa located in the deepest part of the area. The villa was not very large, but it was very exquisite. There was a small garden inside; various flowers and plants also trailed down from the second-floor balcony. There were white tiles, red brick walls, wooden fences, and even a small pond inside the garden. Beside the pond stood a cherry tree, giving the entire garden an idyllic feeling.
A caretaker stood outside the villa. When he saw Tonyâs car, he hurriedly came forward to take the keys from Tony and opened the garage door on the first floor. Upon returning the keys, he heard Tonyâs indifferent voice saying, âClose the garage door behind you.â
The caretaker seemed taken aback for a moment. However, he quickly nodded in response and left, not forgetting to close the garage door behind him.
When Myra heard what Tony said to the caretaker, she immediately became vigilant and wanted to get out of the car. Unfortunately, his long and slender hand was faster than hers. At the same time, the car locked with a âclickâ and she found herself caught by the scorching hands of the man next to her.
Her sports car was not spacious. Even if he leaned his seat back, she felt uncomfortable lying on his body. However, it was hard for her to ignore his intentions when his burning gaze was staring right at her.
âTony, we havenât had lunch yetââ She helplessly glanced down at the manâs nether region. In such a short time, she could already feel the changes occurring on his lower body. I seriously hate how energetic he is. Then, she suddenly recalled that she had yet to receive an answer to her question that came up during the car ride. She instantly lost all interest and wanted to get up, but the man caught her by the waist and pressed her closer to his body.
âDidnât you promise to spend the afternoon with me?â The manâs low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears.
His warm breath tickled the area around her ear. Her body stiffened slightly in response, and her face burned crimson all of a sudden. âYes, but not the way that you have in mind!â This man!
He laughed softly, and his laughter was bewitching. âThen, why donât you tell me⦠what âwayâ do I have in mind?â
His hand was already reaching toward the hem of her blouse and sliding up her slim waist⦠Her face flushed with blood. Biting her lip and turning her head away, she decided not to say another word.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, he raised his eyebrows at her and kissed her on the forehead. Then, he hugged her tighter as if he was trying to merge her body with his. When he saw that she was not responding to his advances even after a long time passed, he helplessly kissed her on the lips and said in a hoarse voice, âIâve never had any girlfriends before. And now, you are my only one.â
âHmph.â She turned her head to glare at him. âYouâre just saying that to comfort me.â Studying the eyes of the man that was dark with desire at that moment, she bit her lip. âItâs impossible that youâve never had a girlfriend beforeâ¦â
âWhy is it impossible?â His voice was incredibly hoarse. All of a sudden, he grabbed her right hand with his left and led it toward his crotch. âIn the beginning, I was immersed in my career. After that, I got older and wasnât bothered anymore. I wonât have a reaction here if it isnât the right person for me.â
She could feel the hard and hot sensation of his member under her fingers. She didnât know whether it was what he said to her or his shameless behavior that made her face flush crimson. At the same time, her body became slightly limp.
âThat woman that called you todayââ Myra started speaking when she abruptly realized that the womanâs voice she heard today sounded rather familiar. I think I heard it not too long ago⦠Then, the realization hit her. I remember now; that voice⦠Isnât that the woman I heard through the phone when I was on a call with Tony during his business trip to the United States? That woman was calledâ¦
Gemma Walton. Thatâs right; itâs her! She felt humiliated and annoyed. Doesnât that mean I was feeling jealous for no reason?
Tony watched as the expression of the woman in front of him changed again and again. The desire in his eyes burned stronger, and his thin lips covered hers fiercely. âI like seeing you jealous.â
Tonyâs voice sounded even deeper than usual in the silence that was occasionally broken by Myraâs moans. Myra felt an uncomfortable feeling expanding in her lower body. After that, her head went blank with confusion, and she couldnât think about anything else anymoreâ¦
Outside the villa, a black Lamborghini was quietly parked in the sun. However, the heat could not be felt at all. A red sports car silently approached and stopped next to it. Kris quickly got out of the car and looked at the man inside the sports car next to her, a flash of surprise flitting through her eyes. Walking over to the car door amorously, she knocked on Seanâs car window.
The car window rolled down to reveal a cold but handsome face.
Seeing that it was indeed Sean, Kris couldnât help glancing at the villa beside her. She knew that Tony owned that villa. Moreover, somebody had informed her that Tony had parked his car here today. More importantly, Myra was with him too. Myra is inside. Is Sean here for Tony? Or, is he here for Myra? Heâs probably here for Myra.
Kris knew that Sean and Myra were divorced. Seeing how he was behaving, she secretly felt jealous of Myra for having men hanging all over her. I wonder what kind of spell Sean is under. Despite divorcing Myra, he still seems reluctant to let her go.
âDirector Chase, what a coincidence. I canât believe we ran into each other here.â
She had a good impression of Sean back then. It was a pity that the man was utterly disinterested in her at the time. Since she didnât want to be given the cold shoulder, she had not bothered approaching him. Besides, she honestly couldnât care less for the Chase Groupâs situation at the time. Rather, one couldnât find any other wealthy young mistress in Bradfort University that was as stupid as Myra, who would be interested in Sean.
Still, not being interested in him doesnât mean I didnât have a good impression of him. Kris was the type of woman that especially liked having all the menâs attention on her. She enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight. Therefore, she couldnât help showcasing her charm in front of this handsome man even though she couldnât care less about him.
However, Sean simply glanced at her indifferently before frowning and rolling the window up again.
After that, the sports car quickly turned around and left swiftly.
She was rendered speechless. It was bad enough that Tony had ignored her. She did not expect to be ignored by Sean too. Thus, her expression turned ugly instantly.
âHe is nothing but a divorced man. Did he think I was actually interested in him?â She angrily spat out those words before heading toward the villa next to her.
Just as she reached the gates of the villa, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom swiftly stopped in front of the gate. She narrowed her eyes slightly at the sight of the car.
Soon, the door of the car opened and an old man came out of the car. The old man looked to be in his eighties, but he still seemed to be very vigorous. His stern face was expressionless, and the beard on his chin shook slightly. He clasped his hands behind his back, looking energetic and serious.
After the old man got out of the car, he waved dismissively at the driver inside the car. Then, the driver immediately started the engine and drove away. Meanwhile, the old man stepped forward and pressed the doorbell in front of the gate. Nobody inside came to answer the door. Frowning, the old man pursed his lips and consecutively pressed the doorbell thrice. Unfortunately, the response was the sameâ
nobody came to answer the door.
Kris felt her heart rate increasing. She was certain that this man was Sebastian Hart, the one who currently wielded authority over the Hart Family; he was a renowned businessman in Bradfort City back in his time. In other words, he was none other than Tonyâs grandfather!
The words her father had told her immediately surfaced in her mind; he claimed that the two elders of the Hart Family were fond of well-behaved girls. She originally wanted to go and visit those two elders today. However, she couldnât sit still after receiving news about Tony and rushed over here instead.
âExcuse me, sirâ¦â Kris swiftly formulated the words in her mind while putting on a sensible and considerate act. âAre you here to see Director Hart too?â
