Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 117

Currently, Tony seemed confused about something, and he wasn’t his usual confident, assertive self. Besides, his expression was pretty grim.

Myra noticed that he had mentioned her name, which was an unusual thing for him to do. Normally, he would avoid referring to her by her name.

“Why do you say so?” Myra questioned. She couldn’t control her curiosity.

The sunlight shone in through the open window on Tony’s side. As such, the golden rays shone over his head and hit his face, casting shadows from certain angles. He looked quite stern with his piercing gaze and well-sculpted face that was paired with his impassive expression.

Noticing that Myra had turned around to look at him, Tony raised his eyelids slightly and pursed his lips before asking, “Are you sure you don’t want to get together with me?” As for her question, he completely disregarded it.

She felt her heart racing. Before she could say a word, he reached out for her and pulled her into a tight embrace. She felt comfortable and at ease at being enveloped in his hug. At the same time, he whispered gently to her, “You don’t have to give me an answer right away. If you’re going to reject me, then I’d rather not have an answer.”

At this point, Myra could feel her eyes welling up with tears. She was also fully aware that the invisible wall she erected around her heart was gradually breaking apart, piece by piece.

“I…” She took a deep breath and tried to come up with the words to say. Eventually, she ended up with a slightly agape mouth and maintained her silence.

With a sigh, Tony released his grip on her and said, “You should get going then.”

Upon hearing his words, Myra stiffened. Then, she gradually extracted herself from his embrace and got out of his car.

For a split second, she was tempted to yell out to him. She wanted him to know that if he was keen, she would be more than willing to get together with him once the divorce was finalized.

However, she knew that this wasn’t the best option.

Myra clenched her fist tightly and purposely turned her back on him. Without a backward glance, she made her way toward Chase Residence.

Staring at her from behind, Tony had a complicated look on his face as his eyes darkened.

Before this, his hostile behavior and sense of urgency was quite apparent as he anxiously waited for the outcome of his plan. However, last night, he suddenly had some doubts about his decision.

For example, he wasn’t sure whether Myra would loathe him or not once she realized the truth.

This was the first time Tony had ever felt so perturbed. Meanwhile, he grimaced as he kept his sight on Myra’s retreating back.

Before coming here on this day, Myra had already prepared her identification card and documents necessary for the divorce procedure. Truthfully, she intended to get everything sorted and finalized within the day.

However, at this moment, she was unable to express her intentions explicitly.

In the meantime, Eve tried her best to appear upbeat while Sean remained silent and brooding next to her.

Throughout the dinner, Myra kept being reminded of the things that happened in the past.

For example, she recalled the first time she met Sean, the memories of her harboring a crush on him, her struggles to decide whether to accept his proposal or not, and finally, his indifference toward her for the past two years. All those memories flooded her thoughts.

Until now, she couldn’t quite remove this single memory out of her head. She was bothered by how he treated her as soon as Lyla reappeared in their lives. He was in such a hurry to get divorced with her and then marry Lyla.

Sure enough, there was really no point in competing against his first love. How could she even compare? Lyla and him shared such an unforgettable relationship that was etched deep in his memories; those lingering memories would always be present in his mind.

It was right at this moment that she realized she was finally able to let go and whatever that happened was no longer her concern; perhaps it was because she finally accepted that everything had ended between her and Sean. Losing him was probably a blessing, because from now onward, she would no longer be subjected to his apparent presumption of her role in causing Lyla’s miscarriage.

Suddenly, Myra lifted her wine glass and proposed a toast to Sean. “Despite what happened between us, I can honestly say that I’ve never had anything to do with Lyla’s miscarriage. Perhaps there was proof of sabotage, but all I can say is that it had nothing to do with me. At this point, there’s really no need for me to lie about this.”
