Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 252

Tony raised his eyebrows. He kissed her on the lips then proceeded to pull off his necktie. “Does seeing her make you unhappy? We can just ask Curtis to take her back.”

Curtis was the Hart Family’s personal driver.

Tony did not have much patience on minor matters. Watching him yank his necktie off, Myra stepped in and helped him untie it. “Old Master Hart already said she could stay.” It wouldn’t be appropriate if they asked Gemma to leave now.

“Then we’ll leave.” He squeezed her hand as she was loosening his necktie and kissed her on the forehead. “We’ll go home if you don’t want to see her. Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart won’t mind.”

There was no limit to how much he spoiled her.

She felt touched by his words. Puffing her cheeks out, she shook her head and said, “Forget it. It’s just for one night. She won’t stay here permanently.”

He let go of her hand to let her finish loosening his necktie. “Don’t mind her. When Old Master Hart went to the United States, the Walton Family were the ones who welcomed him with open arms. It’s just out of courtesy. He knows where to draw the line.”

He was telling Myra that Sebastian was still on her side.

To be frank, if it was up to Tony, he wouldn’t be so courteous to Gemma. To him, there were only two types of people: his people and outsiders. He did not concern himself with outsiders, and Gemma was clearly an outsider to him. It was only on some occasions when it had to do with his family and their reputation that he put up with it, but it was also on the condition that Gemma did not cross the line.

Part of his displays of affection downstairs was intentional and part of it was to remind Gemma of Myra’s place in his life so she wouldn’t mess with her so easily.

Oftentimes, however, a man did not understand a woman’s heart.

While Tony went to take a shower in the bathroom, Myra was tidying up outside. She was suddenly reminded of the gifts they bought at the store today. Among the gifts, a few of the items belonged to her—the three pieces of lingerie that Tony bought for her at the lingerie store.

She quickly opened the room door and walked out. I can’t let anyone see them. It would be so awkward.

After closing the room door, she turned around and bumped into Gemma who had been standing there since who knew when.

Tony’s room was located at the end of the corridor on the second floor. It was rather out of the way and it was also a distance away from the other rooms, but the guest room Gemma was in happened to be right next to his.

Myra frowned slightly and was going to simply walk past Gemma.

Suddenly, Gemma took a step forward and blocked her from going any further.
