Myra was puzzled. Did Sean come up with some new trick just to try to contact me? However, she decided to pick the call up after she heard what Sebastian said. “Hello?” She frowned as she spoke into the phone.
A light, breathing sound came from the other end of the line. It sounded as if the other person didn’t know what to say, or it could also be that the person was contemplating whether to say anything at all. For some reason, Myra felt an uneasy feeling in her chest. She somehow sensed that the other person wasn’t Sean.
“Hello? Who is this? Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Myra continued to speak on the phone, but the line was cut the moment she finished her sentence. She froze when her words were met with the beeping sound of the call being ended.
“Who was it?” Tony asked.
She shook her head as she stared at Tony and Sebastian confusedly. “I don’t know who it was. The person ended the call without saying anything.”
“That doesn’t make sense. She said that she wanted to speak to you earlier. Why would she end the call after she managed to contact you?” Sebastian shook his head before he shot the couple a glare. “You guys didn’t go around bullying someone else’s daughter, did you?”
“Do we look like we’d have the time to do such a thing?” Tony gave his grandfather a look of amusement.
To that, Sebastian scoffed before he headed off for the stairs. “What an odd thing to happen…” he mumbled as he left them.
Myra found the situation rather odd as well, but she didn’t overthink about it. She figured that the person would call her again if there were an emergency. On their way upstairs, both Tony and Myra received a call from Cameron; he had phoned one of them before the other. Both of them didn’t have to exchange words to know that neither one of them would pick the call up. They didn’t care if Cameron had actually met Sean that day; both Tony and Myra felt a strong sense of contempt for Cameron regardless. They figured that Cameron was trying to see if he could fish for any benefits from Sean before he returned to the both of them, but how could Cameron expect everyone to be so generous with him?
Just before Tony and Myra got into bed, Tony pressed a key into Myra’s palm. It was a vintage-looking key with complicated, jagged patterns that made it look exquisite. There was a light blue crystal dangling from the keyring, and the crystal looked gorgeous as it glowed under the light.
“What’s this?” Myra asked. Why is he giving me a key out of nowhere? She eyed the key for a while more and found herself liking it the more she looked at it. More importantly, she was glad to receive such a gift as it was rare for Tony to buy her any jewelry. However, she had been mistaken—the key was more than an accessory.
“I want to take you to a place tomorrow.” Tony simply smiled without giving her any explanation.
“You’re acting so mysteriously. Did you prepare some sort of surprise for me?” she asked in a playful tone. He simply beamed without saying anything else. “Did you actually prepare a surprise for me?” She was shocked by his silence.
“You seem really energetic today, huh? Why don’t we do some healthy, bedtime activities then?” He narrowed his eyes to give her a cheeky look, and she had a bad feeling about what he was about to do. As expected, he no longer waited for her reply, for he merely pinned her onto the bed before he flipped over and got on top of her.
His gaze darkened as his voice grew hoarse when he said, “Why don’t we roleplay a situation where a female robber troubles a meek schoolboy?”
