Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 9

Sean pressed his lips together tightly and he did not answer her.

Myra’s heart sank, even though her face was stoic. She then turned and went upstairs without saying anything.

It could have been due to the time she spent in the cold water, which caused her to run a temperature that night. For the first half of the night, she dreamt a lot—one was about the moment she met Sean and how she watched as he acted lovey-dovey with another woman. Then, she finally settled down with him and they were married. The final scene was at their wedding.

Exhaustion was visible on Sean’s face while his bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred as he coldly demanded, “Say it again—have you ever wronged me?!”

Myra clenched her fist and she forced herself to shake her head.

Sean’s expression instantly became gloomy. “Alright. Just as you wished.”

His hatred appeared again in her dream, which finally woke her up with a start.

She sat on the bed, hugging the blanket while panting heavily. The clock showed that it was 4:00AM in the morning, but she could no longer fall asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, there was a layer of dark circles under her eyes, which could barely be concealed even with the thick layer of foundation.

Sean was having breakfast at the dining table downstairs while Eve, who sat at one side, was nagging.

Her nags were none other than to ask him to return home earlier every night as it would be lonely for Myra to stay at home alone.

Sean, who would usually interrupt her with impatience, did not do so today; he even replied to her that he understood her words when he saw Myra coming down the stairs, which was an extremely uncommon behavior.

The delighted Eve turned and saw Myra standing at the landing; she then waved at the latter with a grin. “Myra, come over and have breakfast.” Apparently, she thought that her son had finally realized what he had been missing.
