Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 528

By the time Myra opened her eyes, it was already past 9 in the morning. The moment she tilted her head aside, she could see Tony lying on the bed in his clothes, but because his upper body was leaning against the headboard, she could only look up at him while he looked at her from above.

“You look so scary staring at me like that.” These were the first words she uttered as soon as she woke up. Immediately, Tony smiled as he knew that his face looked very stern when it was emotionless.

“Since you are awake, it’s time to get up. I’m taking you out for breakfast.” In fact, he had been staring at her like a fool for a while now.

“Did I miss the plane?” She spoke as she rubbed her eyes, sounding a little distressed.

“The plane will depart in two hours. We still have time,” he replied to her directly. Before we went to sleep yesterday, I did ask her to get up early to catch the plane, but she probably didn’t know that the departure time isn’t actually that early.

“I thought the plane would be leaving at 8 or 9.” The moment she opened her eyes, the first thing she had thought of was that they had missed the plane. Although she knew that they were definitely late since she woke up by herself this morning, she didn’t take Tony’s consideration into account.

“You’ve become dumber since your pregnancy. I think I should watch after you more closely. Otherwise, someone might just abduct you,” he said teasingly.

“Hey, I’m not dumb at all,” she refuted. Of course, she had also noticed that her intelligence was actually deteriorating.

After a while, she slowly got out of bed, and Tony followed her. Seeing how blurry she looked after waking up, he was afraid that she would collapse on the floor at any time.

“Be careful.” He carefully reminded her from behind. Previously, I never realized that she can be such a sleepy head. Now, it’s becoming more and more obvious to me.

While brushing her teeth in a daze, Myra looked as though she had not woken up from her sleep even though she had already slept for more than 8 hours. Hence, he supported her from the back and asked tenderly, “Do you need me to help you brush your teeth?”

Finally, she came back to her senses and shook her head. “Nope.” Then, Tony placed his chin on her shoulder while leaning forward, which made his body look especially crooked.

“You’re so heavy.” In reality, he didn’t put much weight on her, but she wasn’t used to his posture, so she shrugged her shoulders while complaining.

Therefore, he lifted his chin and wanted to continue ‘harassing’ her, but resignedly, she pushed him out and said firmly, “Stop wasting time. Let me brush my teeth in peace.”

After being pushed out, Tony tidied his clothes and reverted back to his serious self as if nothing had happened. Sometimes, Myra would wonder if she was hallucinating since it was rare to see Tony’s flippant side, hence why she couldn’t help but doubt herself.

Quickly, she cleaned herself up, and when she was done, more than 30 minutes had passed. She thought, Looks like I don’t need to rush anymore. There’s plenty of time for us to catch the plane.

Meanwhile, Tony had called for room service, so a knock on the door was heard right on time. After opening the door, the waiter came in with a set of rich and nutritious breakfast he had ordered for Myra.

After the waiter left, Tony pushed the breakfast to Myra, who had a good appetite recently. “How punctual of you,” she remarked with a smile.

“Well, that’s because I’m smart,” he boasted.

“I’m so hungry. I’ll start eating now.” Even if she wasn’t hungry, the child inside her belly would still need to consume nutrients whenever it was time.

“You should eat more.” As for Tony, he wished that he could make her round and chubby so that he would feel more comfortable hugging her during his sleep.

“I can’t finish all of this.” Every day, he would prepare breakfast for her that was enough to feed four people, which was very wasteful.

Heather is also another wasteful person. I admit that on this part, she and Tony are really alike. After so many years, I’m still unable to correct this problem of hers, so I probably won’t be able to correct his too.

When they finished their breakfast and exited the hotel, she suddenly felt a chill even though the weather here was much warmer than that in Bradfort City. However, the temperature had dropped on this day, and Tony regretted not preparing some thicker clothes for her when they went shopping the day before.

“Are you cold?” While holding her waist, he tried to give her some warmth.

“Not really. It won’t be cold once we get in the car and head to the airport.” Looking at his distressed expression, she was a little touched. He does look after me really well. I’m so lucky to be loved by him. Deep down in her heart, she believed that the two of them would never be separated again. When she reminisced about everything they had been through, she couldn’t figure out why she had fallen in love with him, but at the same time, she was attracted by his every aspect.

When they arrived at the airport, the two of them went into a lounge while Tony looked around vigilantly. After all, he already had the stalker’s face deeply imprinted in his mind, thus he wanted to see whether the latter was among the crowd.

As for Myra, she remained relaxed with the situation. Then, he whispered next to her ear, “Don’t worry. Even if the person is still following us, we need to act naturally.”

This time around, he was extremely alert toward the stalker as he couldn’t allow someone to follow them unnoticeably yet again. After scanning through the crowd, he couldn’t see any sign of the stalker. Instead, he found out that the people who were secretly protecting them were boarding the same plane as them.

Having bought first-class tickets, the two were led to the first-class cabin while those who were on their side were placed in the economy-class cabin. Since they were protecting the couple in secret, they couldn’t make themselves stand out.
