Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 138

Myra had no choice but to take a bath in the bathroom in her bedroom. After taking the longest bath she had ever taken, she finally got out of the bathtub.

Then, she slowly blew her hair dry. Initially, Myra was wearing a bathrobe, but when she remembered that there was a man in the house, she changed into her loungewear.

In front of the mirror, one of her hands unexpectedly reached for a bottle of perfume that had never been used before. When she snapped back to her senses, she placed down the bottle of perfume, but her ears had already turned extremely red.

When she opened the bedroom door, she was still in a daze, and her cheeks were rosy from the heat in the bathroom.

Outside, Tony was watching TV and looking bored. Upon seeing her step out of the room, his eyebrows lifted and a teasing look appeared in his eyes. “I thought you fell asleep in the bathtub.”

As his gaze swept over her, Myra didn’t know what to do with her hands and feet. Pretending to be calm, she walked toward the sofa, then sat down on the other sofa before saying, “Didn’t you say that you have something to tell me?”

“Why are you sitting so far away? Come here.” Tony narrowed his eyes at her, somewhat displeased that she had placed such a distance between them.

Biting on her lip, Myra walked over, then sat down on the other end of the sofa where he was sitting. She took a sip out of the glass of water that was in front of her, trying to conceal her embarrassment.

“Speak.”

Tony chuckled. He was playing with an unlit cigarette in his hand, but now, he threw down the cigarette, got up, and walked toward Myra.

He was tall and imposing, and he wore a bathrobe after taking his shower.

At this moment, the neckline of the bathrobe was slightly open, revealing his strong and muscular chest. His domineering aura was so strong that it was hard to ignore him.

Myra averted her gaze in a panic. When she looked up, she met Tony’s darkened eyes.

“Afraid of me? Hmm?” His voice contained some kind of charm, and in the quiet living room at night, it evoked a sense of numbness that burned away her rationality.

Myra stammered, “M-Mr. Hart, if you have something to say, just say it. Didn’t you say there was something you needed to tell me?”

“Tony.” The man’s deep and pitch-black eyes narrowed, and his tone was undeniably certain.

Myra swallowed and repeated in a low voice, “Tony…”

Her ears were utterly red, and she was blushing hard. She resembled a rabbit that was going to be slaughtered.

Tony studied the woman. Ever since he saw the box today, he had been thinking about what would happen tonight. A cluster of flames ignited in his eyes as spoke in a low and hoarse voice. “I’m going to the United States for a business trip tomorrow. I’ll come back in a week at least, or half a month at most.”

The sudden news made Myra pause for a second. “You’re going on a business trip…” No wonder there’s a suitcase next to him…

“Okay.” A kiss came crashing down hard on her lips.

The first two times, the timing was wrong. But tonight, he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Tony…” Myra’s eyes grew moist in an instant.

Tony let out a low laugh. “Deliberately drinking water from the cup I was using… Myra, you little sprite!”

“I didn’t…” Hearing his accusation, Myra closed her eyes shamefully and denied it.
