Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 123

Reflecting on her earlier actions and her words that he was well aware of, Myra’s face flushed red like the sunset.

“Tony Hart!” she growled in a low voice like an annoyed kitten.

When Tony’s cold eyes saw her face, a gentle look appeared in his eyes as he grabbed her hand, which she had planned to retract. After brushing the strands of hair that fell by her cheeks behind her ears, he asked in a slightly teasing tone, “Fangirling about me early in the morning?”

Myra’s face turned even redder as she turned her head. “I just think you are a fool.”

“How so? Do enlighten me.” She wondered whether Tony was merely pretending or if he really did not know as he smiled at her.

Myra was slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, but she clearly knew that they would have to overcome many obstacles if they wanted to be with each other—one example was the Hart Family.

“I’m already married and about to be a divorcee. Only you would want a woman like me. There are many excellent women in Bradfort City, but you only have eyes for me.” When Myra brought it up, it was impossible not to notice that she did not feel miserable.

If possible, every woman would like to look for their true love and happiness during their first try. However, life sometimes would not grant what one wished for and it would throw many tests and challenges.

Can we really overcome some of these challenges?

“Who said that I can’t fall for a divorced woman?” Tony’s eyes narrowed. Seeing that she was feeling sad about it while she still pretended to be nonchalant, he yanked her into his embrace. “Are you aware of the phrase—there is light at the end of the tunnel?”

Myra nodded blankly.

When Tony noticed her dumbfounded expression, he could not help but caress her head, making her hair messier than it was. “Don’t you think that you’ve had enough bad luck? It’s time to change it.”

When Myra heard his professional tone, she could not help but retort, “How do you know that my luck would change? What if the bad luck continues?”

“I know magic.” Tony arched his eyebrows. “It’s your turning point in life to meet me.”

She was initially shocked by what he said. After hearing those words from him, she was suddenly torn between amusement and sadness.

As Myra planned to rise up, Tony pulled her arm, causing her to directly fall into his embrace. In the next second, his thin lips had already enveloped around hers as he sucked on her lips a few times.

After seeing the hickeys from last night on her neck slowly fading, his eyes slightly narrowed again. Then, he pressed her down and produced a few more by nibbling on her neck before he released her.

When she sat up, she said gently after thinking about it, “I’m going to the Civil Affairs Bureau today.”

“You don’t want me to accompany you?” Tony seemed like he knew what she thought.

Myra tightly held the blankets underneath her as she shook her head. “Maybe not.” I don’t want to involve him in my personal affairs at such a time and I don’t want other people to look at him differently.

Tony was like a god to her, so she did not want him to be criticized by others.

He did not force her. Instead, he grabbed her hand and pinched her palms before he responded calmly, “After it’s done, call me. I’ll pick you up.”
