Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 164

Myra wept bitterly. She had wanted to give the Hart Family a good impression today. Unfortunately, the atmosphere today was probably ruined.

The veins on Tony’s forehead bulged. How could he not feel heartbroken at the sight of her crying so sadly? Thus, he hugged her tightly. His voice also became kinder. “Alright; alright. I’m sorry for kicking up a fuss over nothing. Don’t cry anymore, okay? If you don’t want to continue eating, we can leave. We’ll go home, okay?”

Now that his voice was much gentler than before, his deep and low voice gradually soothed the upset feelings in her heart. After a while, she gripped his white shirt tightly and opened her mouth to speak. At that moment, somebody pulled open the bathroom door from the outside without any warning.

When she touched the door handle just now, she had unlocked the lock. However, he had caught her and pulled her back before she could open the door. As the door opened at that moment, Tony lifted his eyes and annoyedly glanced in the direction of the door. He was greeted by the sight of Shawn studying the both of them with a stoic expression. “Grandpa wants you both to hurry up and join us for dinner. His exact words were: ‘What’s this with making the entire family wait for the two of them?!’.”

Upon hearing the door open, Myra had buried her miserable face in Tony’s chest without thinking. After hearing what Shawn said, her ears turned red and her body became extremely stiff in Tony’s arms.

Patting her on the back, Tony spoke to Shawn in a displeased manner. “Got it.” However, Shawn did not leave immediately. Thus, Tony narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is there anything else, Shawn?”

Shawn lifted his eyebrows in response and glanced at Myra, who seemed like she was trying to hide her head in the sand. His shrewd eyes met his younger brother’s gaze, and his lips curved upward suddenly. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to remind you that you should lower your voice if you care about your privacy.”

Those words made Myra’s body even more rigid. Many old buildings did not have good soundproofing. She had not thought about that just now and assumed that this place was no different from her home. Unfortunately, Shawn’s words clearly implied that everybody outside had heard the conversation between her and Tony just now. That’s not all… They probably even heard the sounds of Tony forcefully kissing me and the sounds of me struggling against him… They heard it all… She was so furious, anxious, and ashamed that her body began trembling slightly.

Tony understood how Myra felt at that moment. Hence, he shot a glare at Shawn, who simply shrugged in response before turning to leave. He did not forget to help them close the bathroom door again.

“Tony, look what you did…” As soon as the door closed, Myra pushed away from the man’s chest. She lowered her voice but couldn’t help complaining in embarrassment.

On the other hand, Tony leisurely hugged her around the waist. “What did I do?”

“You—” She moved to shove him away, However, he was holding her securely. With his other hand, he pressed his finger against his thin lips and whispered, “Shh. If you start yelling again, everybody outside will hear you.”

Seeing how he had her wrapped around his finger, she had the strongest urge to scratch his handsome face. Unfortunately, she did not want to continue behaving so unreasonably. She struggled in his arms. “I want to wash my face!”

He finally released her but closely followed behind her wherever she went. Thus, she viciously glared at him. He simply lifted an eyebrow at her and handed her a facial cleanser. “Grandma loves using this brand. You’ll have to manage with this.”

She hesitated slightly. She had on some light makeup today, but her makeup was ruined after that bout of weeping. In the end, she had no choice but to make do with the facial cleanser and wash her face. After washing her face, she accepted the clean towel that was handed to her. She smelled a familiar scent while wiping her face with the towel. It smelled very good. Turning her head to glance at the man next to her, she placed the towel back in place after she was done with it.
