Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 151

Cameron tried reaching Myra multiple times on the phone lately, but she did not answer a single one of his calls. It wasn’t that she did not want to return to the Stark Group, but she wanted to make a statement before she did.

Tony’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Myra. “Why do we have to wait for a bit before getting out of the car?”

For some reason, she felt rather guilty from the way he was looking at her. But the thought of Kris made her frown and lower her head. “I don’t want to be in the same elevator as that person.”

He looked back in the direction of the elevator. The doors had closed slowly, and the elevator was heading up.

Because he had done a thorough check on her before, he was aware of Kris’ identity and perhaps even some of the relatives on Myra’s paternal and maternal side of the family that she might not have known herself. Seeing the look on her face, something flickered across his eyes. He held her waist and left a reassuring kiss on her forehead. “Let’s wait for a bit before going up then.”

As soon as he said that, she snapped her head up and pressed, “Why don’t you go back to your apartment tonight?”

In an instant, the tender expression he had on his face a second ago turned dark. Tightening his arm around her thin waist, he seethed, “Myra, sometimes, I really just want to strangle you!”

She was clearly the one who made those flirtatious suggestions in the car earlier. ‘…you can do anything you want when we’re home…’

But now that they were at her apartment, she was telling him to just go home.

Feeling guilty, she cupped his face in her hands and kissed his cheeks. She coaxed, “Tony. Just this once, okay? That woman is my half-sister. I know her very well. If she goes up there and doesn’t see me, she’ll keep waiting until I show up.”

“What does that have to do with me going to your place?” He was not swayed by her coaxing and simply looked at her coldly. She said she didn’t want to be in the same elevator as that woman, but really, she’s just afraid of letting that woman see the both of us together!

A wave of anger was surging inside of him while his expression turned sour.

She felt apologetic now that he knew her intentions. When she went to grab his hand, he avoided her. Nonetheless, she learned to be as thick-skinned as he was and forcefully grabbed his hand without a second thought. “I don’t like the Stark Family. I still haven’t told you some things about my family, but I’ll tell you everything slowly, okay? For the time being, I just don’t want them to know that we’re together.”

He scoffed. “The main point here is you don’t want them to know about our relationship, right?” He turned and pushed her chin up harshly. Seeing how she was still looking at him with her big and clear eyes, he suddenly felt like tying her up and giving her a good beating.

“Myra, are you that ashamed of me?”

His tone was cold when he said that, but she felt her body stiffen slightly as she thought she heard a hint of hurt in his voice too.

Biting her lip, she clasped his unoccupied hand and pressed, “It’s not that. I actually want to introduce you to Mr. Engelhard as soon as I can. He’s someone I care about. But the Stark Family… Tony, I’m going back to the Stark Group soon. I just feel like it’s not appropriate to let them find out about our relationship now.”

“How is it inappropriate?” He asked with a subtle expression.

She did not know how to explain to him for a while. Taking a deep breath, she said, “I want to take back what is mine. I wanted to return to the Stark Group a long time ago, but at the time, I didn’t know I would end up with you. You were not part of my plans at the time, but now…”

Her explanation was rather disoriented because the truth was she did not know what to say either.

His eyes grew even more somber. “You don’t want me to interfere in your plans to return to the Stark Family?”
