Chapter 582

Myra had woken up early in the morning. She remembered her meeting with Heather that day, so she didn’t go back to sleep and got up to get ready instead. She was up earlier than Tony this time. When Tony opened his eyes groggily, he saw Myra sitting in front of the vanity table.

“Morning.” He was fully awake now. Myra also turned to look in his direction.

When Myra woke up, she moved quietly so she wouldn’t disturb him. To her surprise, he was still woken up. She felt sorry that he had worked overtime last night, yet he didn’t manage to sleep in in the morning.

“You’re spacing out,” he remarked when she didn’t respond.

“Why do you wake up at the slightest noise?” It sounded like she was talking to herself.

It was warm inside their room. This house was built with a constant-temperature system, so the temperature inside the house was pleasant over the four seasons throughout the year. They only had to wear light clothing inside the house.

This warm temperature in the middle of winter would easily make anyone greedy for more sleep. Myra felt like her sleep duration had been increasing gradually. She slept so well sometimes that she wouldn’t even know when Tony had woken up or when he had left the house.

Even though she woke up early for the first time today, she also woke him up from his sleep. She felt like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing the apologetic and sad look on her face, Tony flipped over and got out of bed before he arrived at the vanity table and hugged her from behind. The reflection of his solid chest in the mirror made her face heat up. They had been together for so long now, but she still wasn’t able to withstand his charm.

“You’re all dolled up so early in the morning; where are you planning to sneak off behind my back?” Her reaction made him want to tease her even more.

“I’m not doing it behind your back. I just didn’t want to wake you up, although I still did,” she refuted immediately. It made him chuckle to see how serious she was.

“How can I sleep peacefully without you in my arms?” Lowering his head, he placed a kiss on her forehead. He loved seeing that adorable look on her face.

The weather report showed that the weather today would be nice. Since Myra was going out for the first time in a while, she was still thinking about what look she wanted to go for. Now that he was making a move on her, it made her forget about the style she had thought of earlier; now, she only felt like being nestled in his embrace.

“Leave with me later,” he said because he wanted to drive Myra himself.

“We’re not going in the same direction.” She was reasonable enough and didn’t want him to go out of his way for her.

Letting go of her, he lifted a hand and caressed her head. “As long as you don’t leave Bradfort City, we’ll always be going in the same direction.”

She fixed her hair in frustration. He messed up my hairstyle! But Tony did pay special attention and did not really use much force to ruin her hairstyle.

“Then promise me you’ll sleep a bit more.” She took the chance to make a deal with him.

It had only been four hours since he went to bed last night until he woke up. How is such a short sleep duration sufficient? She assumed that he was sound asleep and wouldn’t wake up at the slight noises, but she was mistaken.

“Only if you keep me company.” He also raised his own condition.

Looking at her face full of makeup in the mirror, she wondered, Would it be weird to go back to sleep now? She felt a bit hesitant as she considered his condition.

On the other hand, he didn’t give her time to consider and lifted her up in both arms straight away.

Being suspended in the air suddenly, she almost let out a shriek.

“Put me down.” She looked at him unhappily. Why is he so unconventional?

“Okay, I’ll put you down.” He put her down gently on the bed before pressing up against her.

He kept her wrapped under him, but he didn’t actually put his weight on her. Using his hands to support himself, he looked down at her with a cheeky grin on his face.

“Tony, don’t mess with me.” She looked at him in bewilderment. He looked like he was brimming with energy. I don’t understand how he’s still full of vitality when he’s only had four hours of sleep.

Getting down from on top of her, he lay down beside her and held her tightly in his arms. She didn’t have another choice but to lay in bed with him for a while. Since getting pregnant, she liked staying in bed anyway.

Regardless of where she was, being under the covers was still the most comfortable. As she closed her eyes, Tony placed a kiss on her cheek. Even though she was resting with her eyes closed, she still looked beautiful to him.

There wasn’t a single flaw about her. He was willing to grow old with her this way. No matter how busy he was each day, as long as he thought about how she was waiting for him at home, he would instantly be filled with strength and anticipation.

While they were being affectionate with each other in bed, the message alert tone on Myra’s phone went off. She opened her eyes, but Tony still had his closed and was holding her tightly.

Carefully bringing her phone over, she saw that she had received a strange text message. The timestamp above it was puzzling.

Why did I receive a text from over a decade ago? She felt spooked all of a sudden. Moreover, the content of the text message also gave her the creeps.

‘Do you still remember your childhood friend, Matt?’ At first glance, she assumed that it had been sent to the wrong person and did not think much of it.

When Tony moved in closer once more and pulled her into his arms, she simply put her phone aside.

Soon after, however, her phone started ringing again, and she immediately ended the call. Seeing the unknown number, she just treated it as a prank call.

She finally managed to get Tony back in bed again, so she didn’t want to bother him. She was hoping that he could get some sleep before going to work.

But as soon as she put her phone on silent, another text message arrived. A deep crease formed between her brows while she was reading the text. It looked like the sender of the text messages knew who she was.

In the end, Tony opened his eyes again. This time, it was because Myra got out of bed and went a distance away to answer a phone call. He mused, Who could be calling her this early in the morning? I heard noises from her phone earlier.

Because he wanted to take in all her facial expressions, he decided to sit up in bed. Her expressions kept changing, which instilled a sense of uneasiness in him.

Soon after, she ended the call. Looking at her phone, she deleted the text messages she had received earlier. At this moment, she noticed Tony with his eyes open wide and looking straight at her. In return, she gave him an apologetic smile.

I don’t think he can go back to sleep anymore since I kept waking him from sleep all morning. At the thought of that, she truly felt sorry for him.

“Who was that?” he asked with a fairly stern expression on his face.

Looking at his demeanor, she was worried that he would get an inkling. Hence, she smiled and said, “It was Heather. We made plans to go shopping together today.” She quickly made up an excuse.

After that, he didn’t think much of it. He knew yesterday that Myra and Heather had made plans to meet up today. He just didn’t think Heather would call so early in the morning.

Meanwhile, Myra also deleted the number of the unknown caller from earlier out of fear that Tony would sense that something was off. She was definitely not going to go shopping with Heather today and was still thinking about how to tell Tony about this.

“What time did you guys agree to meet?” Tony wondered whether he should get up and wash up so he could send her to their designated meeting place later.

After pondering for a moment, Myra said, “I’m not going to meet Heather today. Something came up.”

Upon hearing her words, he was slightly confused. She shouldn’t have anything going on. This is odd.

“What plans do you have?” He really didn’t know what other plans she could have today. He knew that she really cared about Heather. What could be more important than her plans with Heather?

“I want to go to the cemetery,” she said bluntly. That person had called her out to the cemetery.

Although it sounded absurd, she really wanted to go have a look.

That person had told her some things she didn’t know about. Some of the things sounded made-up, but she really wanted to know more.

For a long time now, Myra had a blurry image in her mind that kept showing up in her dreams lately, but whenever she woke up, she couldn’t remember it.

Regardless of what the other person’s motive was, they managed to stir up her curiosity. Even if she had to go to the cemetery, she wanted to find out for herself.

“Why would you want to go to the cemetery?” Tony was even more bewildered. Ever since Myra answered that phone call, she wasn’t acting normally anymore.

He was even starting to doubt whether that phone call was really from Heather. He wanted to look at Myra’s phone, but she was gripping it tightly in her hand. It didn’t seem possible to get her phone now.

“I want to go visit my mother.” Her statement was half true. She figured that while she was at the cemetery, she might as well visit her mother’s grave.

Since she got pregnant, she still hadn’t been to the cemetery to tell her late mother about the good news. If her mother knew, she would certainly be happy for Myra. All of a sudden, Myra longed for her mother very much.

At the same time, Tony did not make any more comments. If Myra changed her mind suddenly and wanted to go visit her mother’s grave, then cancelling her plans with Heather was also normal.

“I’ll take you there.” The cemetery was in the outskirts, so it would take some time to get there.

“No need. You should go in for work earlier. I’ll just ask the driver to take me there.” She refused his good intention because she did not want to take up his time.

“It’s okay. It’s on the way,” he said with a smile. Like he said earlier, as long as she didn’t go out of Bradfort City, they would always be going in the same direction.

“No, Tony. Don’t worry about me,” she said softly. She could only reject him gently. In any case, she wasn’t going to let Tony drive her there.

He looked at her in a perplexed manner. It put him in distress that she wasn’t letting him drive her, but arguing with her was not ideal either.

Seeing his hesitant demeanor, she returned to the bed and buried herself in his arms.

“Don’t worry. It’s all the same for the driver to send me there.” She was even using a coquettish tone.

He didn’t think it was right to keep persisting and just went along with her. “Don’t stay too long at the cemetery. The negative energy there is strong. Have the driver follow you.”

After she persuaded him, she waited for him to leave the house before asking the driver to take her to the cemetery. It was known to be inappropriate for pregnant women to go to the cemetery, but modern-

day people no longer had that many taboos.
