Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 146

After she finished talking, she lifted the bag again and walked back to her apartment. The light in Sean’s eyes had dimmed and a wave of slight anger filled his chest. Without thinking, he pulled Myra back by her hand. “Who are you seeing now?”

Why else would she speak to me this way?

At this moment, the two of them did not notice the black Maybach that was driving toward them in the sunset.

Myra grew furious when he held her back. She seethed, “Even if I am seeing someone, what does it have to do with you?” The moment she saw the look on his face, her gaze turned bizarre. “Sean, don’t tell me you’re bothered that I’m with another man now? Don’t forget that we got divorced a long time ago. You have no control over who I choose to be with!”

His expression was dark, and his eyes lit up with fury. But, seeing the calm expression on her face, he suppressed his anger and scoffed. “After all, we were married once. I just wanted to remind you of your status, Myra. You have to be wary of any man that approaches you; either he doesn’t know that you’re a divorcee or he knows that marrying you will bring him wealth.”

In an instant, her body began to tremble with anger. She had to try with all her might to suppress the rage in her chest and stop herself from flinging the items in the bag at him. She jeered, “Well, I apologize for the disappointment, but the man I’m with now already knows that I’m divorced, and he doesn’t care about my paltry fortune. Sean Chase, not all men are as malicious as you are. You sent me to prison in your place. How audacious of you to show up in front of me now and give me this invitation?”

His expression turned even worse.

While he looked at her gloomily, he also wondered why he had reacted that way. It seemed like he was a little jealous because she had found another man right after she divorced him. That awareness made him lose control over himself.

“You’re already with another man!” He had a faint scowl on his face. “I knew you seemed too indifferent when we got a divorce! Who knew you were already with someone else? How can you be so cheap, Myra?”

“I’m cheap?” She was about to go mad. Various past events resurfaced in her mind; from having her dignity trampled on by them to being framed. She glared at him with a chilly expression that she never had before. “Well, I guess I stalked you for all those years because I’m cheap. I am truly sorry. I will live a more dignified life from now on and stay far, far away from you!”

She emphasized the word ‘far’ several times as if she was worried it would be insufficient to express her meaning. After hearing her words, Sean’s expression changed. He was just about to say something when her phone suddenly began to ring.

The incoming call was from ‘Hubby’.

After Tony left last time, Myra realized that his name on her phone had changed, but she did not correct it.

The anger that was boiling in her chest dissipated immediately as soon as she saw his number. Instead, she felt a slight sense of misery and answered the call without a second thought.

“Hello?”

“Where are you now?” Tony’s voice came through the phone. He had probably been smoking because his voice sounded fuzzy.

Biting her lip, she replied, “I’m downstairs in the apartment.”

He paused for a while, then said, “Turn around.”
