Myra hesitated. Serena, who was next to her, took the box and stuffed it directly into her hands. “My grandma’s giving it to you, so just keep it. You don’t need to be shy.”
Myra nodded and opened the box. Inside was an emerald bangle that was glittering and translucent. It was beautiful.
Surprised, she looked at Lisa. The old lady’s face was blank. “Have a good future with Tony.”
Holding the box, Myra’s heart eased and her features softened. “Thank you, Old Madam Hart.”
Lisa gave a brief nod, then turned and walked upstairs.
Myra left the Hart Residence with Henry’s driver.
The driver blabbed, “I wonder who was smoking outside the residence last night. There are cigarette butts all over there… Tsk, tsk…”
Myra didn’t think too much about it.
Henry was chattering while asking her to come back to the Hart Residence again next time.
“Myra, my mom said that you’re going to marry my uncle. Is that true?” Henry asked suddenly.
Myra was startled. A blush crept up her face as she patted his head. “It’s not decided yet.”
“But, my mom said you’ve already accepted Great-grandma’s gift!” Henry stared eagerly at Myra. “If you’ve accepted it, you can’t return it.”
Although his uncle wasn’t very sensible sometimes and would make him angry, if Myra married his uncle, he would get to play with her often in the future.
Thinking of the red velvet box in her bag, Myra felt a faint sense of joy, but the driver was seated in front. She didn’t feel comfortable discussing this matter under such circumstances.
She changed the subject. “Henry, do you have a good relationship with your uncle?”
When Henry heard this question, he coughed and sat upright. “Most of the time… we get along quite well.”
When they had dinner last night, however, he didn’t like Tony much.
Myra couldn’t help but feel a little amused when she saw how cheeky he was. “Your uncle must’ve made you unhappy recently.”
She remembered that the child had told her before that he liked his uncle, but there was some reservation in the way he said it just now.
Henry pouted. “Great-grandpa said that Uncle Tony has a bad temper, so I won’t be calculating with him.”
As she thought of the man’s temper, Myra had to admit that it was bad. Sometimes, he had such a short fuse that it made her want to give him a vicious beating.
The two of them chatted all the way, and soon, they reached the entrance of Henry’s elementary school. He begged Myra to return to the Hart Residence until she agreed, then he turned and entered the school, not forgetting to turn around and wave enthusiastically at Myra.
“Miss Stark, I’ve never seen Young Master Hart take such a liking to someone before,” the driver said casually while smiling. “It seems like you’re quite good with children.”
Myra returned a warm smile. “Henry is a cute boy.”
More importantly, the first time she saw him, she felt sorry for the little boy.
The driver didn’t say much else, and not long after, Myra arrived at the entrance of the Stark Group.
“Wow, look! That’s the current director of the Hart Group—Director Tony Hart!”
After walking into the Stark Group’s building and stepping out of the elevator, Myra heard the excited chatter of several employees next to her.
“Tsk, tsk. When I saw him in magazines, I already found him tragically handsome. I didn’t expect that he would look even more handsome in real life!”
“Oh, my god. Please give me a man as superb as him. I’m willing to give up ten years of my life for someone like him!”
