Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 246

It was silent on the other end of the line and there were only sounds of labored breathing and some static noise. Myra frowned slightly and she repeated herself, “Hello, may I know who is on the line? How can I help you?” However, she was greeted with the same silence.

She waited for a long time—it was so long that she assumed it was a prank call. Just as she was about to hang up, a hoarse male voice spoke. “Myra, I want to see you.”

Myra was very familiar with this man’s voice—it was one that she had heard more than a thousand times in her dreams. However, listening to his voice now no longer had the same effect as the past, where her heart used to race. She scowled deeply and muttered, “I have nothing to say to you.”

Sean must have known that she was about to hang up on him because he sounded anxious and urgent when he said, “Myra, Tony is not a good person. He has been plotting for a long time to be together with you. You have to believe me!” I am sure that the man isn’t as devoted to Myra as he presents himself to be. He must have an ulterior motive, but I just can’t seem to find concrete proof at the moment! Well, there’s the Hilliville project. However, it might not just be that project because there might be other things that we are not aware of!

“Sean, I am truly curious as to why you’re telling me this.” Myra struggled to hide her anger and unhappiness. She laughed mirthlessly and she retorted, “What’s the matter? Do you feel that you’ve lost your manly dignity since I am not suffering after leaving you? Are you unhappy because I am doing well in life? Will you be happy only if I miss you to death and pester you every day after leaving you? Let me tell you this, Sean—I am not a cheap woman!” Myra was bewildered by Sean’s sudden phone call.

He remained silent after listening to Myra, but he did not deny her claims.

In the beginning, I was mocking Myra in my heart when I saw how she just couldn’t wait to divorce me at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I thought that she was just pretending to appear unrestrained and natural, and I assumed that she was just trying to hold onto her last shred of dignity. I was so sure that she would come crawling back to me in the end. However, I did not expect her to end up with Tony Hart.

After learning that Tony and Myra had become a couple, Sean felt that it was unacceptable. She is my wife! How could she be together with that man? She told me that she is in love with me and me only, so why is she smiling so happily with that man?

Sean gripped his cell phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. “Myra, we were once husband and wife—I would never lie to you. One day, you will understand that I am doing it for your sake, whereas that man has been plotting to be together with you. He’s only going to hurt you!”

“That’s enough, Sean.” Myra could no not hide her frosty tone anymore. “Have you ever treated me right? If you haven’t, please do not claim that you are doing this for my sake after our divorce. You claim that another man has been deliberately plotting since he treats me well. Why don’t you try recalling how you treated me in the past? Since we’re divorced, you should stop switching phone numbers to contact me. I honestly do not know you well anymore, and I am not interested in having an outsider criticize my private life. Also, you should mind your current wife if you have the time.”

Myra recalled Lyla coming right in front of Tony and herself in the afternoon. She was asking Tony for help and I was rather upset. Why is the couple showing up constantly in my life ever since I’ve divorced Sean?

“Myra, you will regret it!” Sean’s expression changed drastically and he squinted at the heavy traffic outside of his car window. “I even heard that Tony used to have a woman in the United States and she’s back here looking for him. Myra, how well do you know Tony? You do not know how cruel this man is. He disregarded his best friend, who had fought and struggled with him, for his selfish interests by dissolving the company and in the end, he only distributed 10% of the shares to his close friend. He is the Devil, who will utterly destroy someone and one day, you will—”
