Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 180

Kris was exasperated as she went to get her shoe back. When she walked back out again, Tony’s car was already gone.

She stomped her foot in anger but could only return to her car for the time being.

Tony gave Elliot a call upon leaving the Zion Club. Once the call was answered, his brows pulled together as he asked, “Can you look into Kris’ mother, Rachel Parker’s, pregnancy?”

Since Elliot had him on speaker, the other two people there also heard him. Philip chuckled, “I was wondering why you were dealing with that woman at the door. It looks like you were trying to get information.”

Tony had a blank expression. He did not want to play along with Kris initially, but since she walked up to him herself, he thought of taking the chance to ask some questions. As expected, there were some problems.

“From what I heard, Cameron’s current wife is pregnant with a boy. According to Cameron’s priorities and shrewdness, even if we don’t consider the gender of the baby, this pregnancy shouldn’t be fake,” Lucas interrupted from the side.

Tony also had the same thought in mind. Narrowing his eyes, a thought occurred to him and he went on, “Look into her recent diet and lifestyle. There must be some clues.”

By the time Myra looked up from her paperwork, it was already ten at night.

As she stretched her back, she felt a terrible ache around her waist area. Standing up, she walked toward the French windows and looked down at the busy streets below.

Bradfort City was incredibly beautiful at night. Brightened up with lights, the entire city looked much warmer compared to the rigidity and desolation during the day.

Her phone seemed to have vibrated earlier, but she was too absorbed at the time to look at it.

Grabbing her phone, she took a look at the message while drinking a cup of milk. It was from Tony who wanted to know if she was done with work yet.

He did not call her because he was worried that he would interrupt her, so he simply sent a text.

She felt her heart warm up and called him right back.

“Hello?”

When he heard her voice, he murmured, “Are you finally done with work now?”

“Yes.” She nodded. After she finished off the last bit of warm milk, she returned to her chair and started to pack up her things. “Are you… here to pick me up?”

“What do you think?” It was a short question that was filled with tenderness.

At that moment, she felt the exhaustion in her body melt away. Smiling, she quickly packed her things up and headed toward the elevator.

Inside the elevator, she even tidied herself up subconsciously.

When she walked out of Stark Tower, she saw him standing not too far away below.

She thought, He must be God’s favorite. Even though he was not doing anything and only leaning against the car with a subtle expression, he was able to make it look relaxed and elegant. He was wearing a white shirt with two buttons open at the top. The sleeve on his left arm was pulled up and he had a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. Amid the white cloud of smoke, his eyes looked even more deep and dark.

He seemed to have noticed her gaze. Lifting his head, he looked right at her and smiled when their eyes met. Shortly after, he put out the cigarette in his hand.

For some reason, her face started to turn red under his gaze. She walked up to him and asked bashfully, “Why didn’t you call me when you got here? You must have waited a long time.”

The text was sent half an hour ago. There were also three to four cigarette buds scattered on the ground.
