Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 134

Even so, it didn’t extinguish the anger in his heart. Although Sebastian knew that Sasha had deliberately exaggerated the facts in the morning to taint Myra’s reputation, after giving it careful thought, he figured that something fishy was going on. Not to mention, at the time, Myra had gotten together with his grandson before she had even divorced her ex-husband!

Myra stood silently beside the old man. Because the fish Sebastian brought was a crucian carp, there were a lot of bones. Seeing that he was eating with some difficulty, Myra hesitated, then went to take a clean plate and a set of cutlery.

Just as she was about to sit down, Sebastian fixed her with a fierce glare. “Why are you sitting down? Did I say you can sit down?”

Myra was a little embarrassed, so she just stood there while she picked up a huge piece of fish meat. When she did this, he glared at her once more, but she simply picked out the fish bones before placing the fish onto the plate in front of Sebastian. Then, she picked up another piece of fish and continued to pick out the fish bones.

As Sebastian took a glance at the fish in front of him, his expression eased without him noticing. Picking up the fish, he put it into his mouth and mumbled, “Don’t think this will make me change my opinion of you. Hmph!”

For some reason, a small part of Myra’s initial worries ebbed away. Some people looked kind but were wicked at heart, while some looked wicked but had a kind heart. Although the old man acted cold toward her, she always knew that he would not do anything to her. However, she wasn’t sure about what the old man was going to do about her relationship with Tony, so she was deeply worried.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Myra’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t stop her lips from curling up. Having heard the doorbell and seeing how excited the girl was, how could Sebastian not know who the person at the door was? He immediately let out a heavy grunt.

Myra tested the water as she said, “It seems like there’s a visitor…”

Sebastian answered in an enigmatic manner, “If you want to open the door, just do it. Why are you being so reserved? What a spoilsport!”

Used to Sebastian’s criticisms, Myra immediately set down the cutleries and trotted down the hallway. When passing by the floor-length mirror in the hallway, she subconsciously slowed down to glance at her reflection. She flattened her hair a little before walking to the security door and opening it.

As expected, the person outside was Tony. At this moment, he had a cigarette between his index and middle finger. When the door was opened, he took one last inhale, put out the cigarette, then threw it into the trash can beside him.

He wasn’t wearing a suit but was dressed only in a white shirt. His cuffs were slightly folded to reveal his strong forearms, and his tie was slightly loosened. Two of the shirt’s buttons were undone, and beneath his exquisite collarbone, the shirt couldn’t seem to conceal his protruding chest and abs.

Upon seeing a blushing Myra after the door was opened, Tony raised his eyebrows slightly and asked faintly, “Is the old man here?” With that, he walked in.

This was his first time coming to Myra’s house, but his actions made it seem like he had come here countless times before. Myra casually took out a pair of newly bought men’s slippers from the shoe cabinet on the side and placed them near his feet. Tony put them on like it was second nature. The pair worked with extreme coordination—as if they were a couple who had lived together for many years.

Sebastian, who was far away in the dining room, saw this and his heart felt congested again. He peered at the masculine slippers on his grandson’s feet, then at the pair of lady slippers he was wearing. The more he looked, the more he felt that Myra was a clueless person. Why didn’t she stop me when I took this pair of slippers just now?

“Hmph!” He immediately pushed aside the plate in front of him, suddenly finding the delicious fish tasteless.
