Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 141

Nonetheless, Conan had an ax to grind. He wanted Tony to get together with Myra. No matter if it was for Myra’s sake, or the things she was about to face in the future, to be with him would be the greatest benefit she could gain.

There was a gentle smile at the corners of Myra’s mouth. “He’s very kind to me. I know he treats me sincerely. And he’s also… the man that I want…”

When she uttered the last sentence, her voice softened, and her face blushed. Secretly, she glanced at Conan. When she saw that he wasn’t making fun of her, she went on, “If I choose the wrong one again this time, I won’t regret it…”

“You’ve grown up, Myra.” Conan let out a sigh.

Conan’s words still echoed in Myra’s ears when she left the Ritz Carlton. ‘Are you sure, Myra? Don’t you want that kid from the Hart Family to help you? You must know that with his help, you can achieve double the result with half the effort. You can even take back what’s yours from the Stark Group. It’s nothing more than a meeting for a project. You mustn’t underestimate his abilities. Even I’m afraid to do business with him.’

Walking with her head down, Myra fell deep in her thoughts. She didn’t want to get Tony involved in the feud between her and the Stark Family.

She loved him, and she cherished him. However, she didn’t want to rely on him too much at a time like this. For one thing, she didn’t want to leave a bad impression on the Hart Family. She was afraid that they would think that she got together with him because she needed his help to take back what belonged to her from the Stark Family. Second, she had a personal reason: Tony was too outstanding and powerful. Sometimes, he gave her a sense of panic. She was afraid that she couldn’t hold on to him. For that reason, she didn’t want to rely on him like a clinging vine. She wanted to become stronger so that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Moreover, he deserved a better version of herself.

A hint of a gentle smile found its way across the corners of Myra’s mouth. It was only a morning apart from him, yet she found herself missing the man who was sometimes cold, sometimes gentle, sometimes sexy, and sometimes domineering.

As soon as Myra came out of the Ritz Carlton, the valet handed her her car key. Just as she was about to get into her car, a shadow quickly cast over her. Myra looked up and saw Lyla, who came when she wasn’t paying attention and blocked her way.

“Let’s talk, Myra.” Lyla’s delicate face shone radiantly under the midday sun. She was so attractive, but her gaze was unfriendly. She was staring at Myra alertly and unhappily.

Myra narrowed her eyes. The smile at the corners of her mouth quickly faded and was replaced by an indifference curve. “I don’t think there’s anything we need to talk about, Miss Fisher.”

At this moment, Lyla was no longer the same sweet and obedient Lyla in front of Sean and Eve. She gritted her teeth and scoffed, “I know what you’re thinking, Myra. You want to take Sean away from me to take revenge, right? You deliberately told Eve and Sean about the bargaining chip you have because you want them to regret their decision and come back for you! But, did you forget how they treated you back then? If you’re brilliant enough, you should stay away from them after the divorce and never go back!”

Lyla acted as if she was saying that for Myra’s own good. Nevertheless, Myra only laughed at her words. “So, you came here on purpose to remind me for my own good?” Soon after she said that, she pulled open the door of her sports car and got in. It was as if she didn’t take Lyla’s words to heart.

Immediately, Lyla’s expression changed. “I know you hate me for what I did to you back then! But, did I not help you too? Why do you still want to stay in the Chase Family with that kind of family?”
