Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 153

Myra stood in the doorway, blocking the door as she coldly stared at Kris. “Kris, you should be thankful that I don’t have a recording of what you said to me in the past. Otherwise, the things that I can get for myself won’t stop at just those.”

Slamming the door shut with a loud ‘Bang!’, she leaned her back against the security door and turned a deaf ear to Kris’ frustrated voice outside. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling as if she had managed to vent some of her anger. I will probably be forced to fight a long, drawn-out war from now on. But, I have something more important to take care of right now.

Taking out her phone, she immediately dialed Tony’s number. Although she called him three times in a row, her calls went unanswered. He must be angry.

Thus, she smiled bitterly and sent him a text message instead. ‘Tony, have you fallen asleep?’

As expected, the message was completely ignored even though she knew very well that he wasn’t the type to go to bed so early. She felt rather restless as she waited in the living room. When Meow realized that she was home, it quickly ran out of the bedroom and sprawled across her body, trying its best to be affectionate with her.

Unfortunately, Myra didn’t have her usual enthusiasm at the moment. Maybe it was due to the long-term cold war she had with Sean, as well as his refusal to reciprocate her feelings, which left her at a loss for what to do—she didn’t know how to coax the angry man next door at the moment. However, she knew that she could not allow the cold war to continue.

After that, she waited in her apartment for a while longer, listlessly teasing Meow for a bit. Once she was certain that Kris had left, she finally came out of her apartment and walked over to the door of the apartment unit next door. She was about to ring the doorbell when she suddenly realized that the door was open! Seemingly thinking about something, the corners of her mouth curved upward. She boldly pushed the door open and walked inside, not forgetting to close the door behind her.

It was very quiet inside the apartment. She could tell that Tony had renovated the entire apartment again recently. It was in a style that he liked. Moreover, the entire apartment was very clean. As she walked into the entranceway, she discovered a pair of female slippers. The slippers had two cats printed on them, making them look very delicate and adorable.

Her heart immediately softened at the sight. She quickly changed into the slippers and continued inward. When she arrived in the living room, she saw a plastic bag and a box sitting in front of the sofa. The plastic bag was the same one she had brought back from the supermarket the other day. Similarly, the box looked very familiar too! That’s the box Estelle asked her friend to deliver to me! Tony said he got rid of it. It turns out that he simply placed it next door!

She eyed the box and blushed slightly for some inexplicable reason.

“Tony—” she shouted upstairs.

The apartment was a duplex. Since she didn’t see him downstairs, he had to be upstairs. Hence, she went upstairs to look for him. She soon heard the sound of the shower coming from the bedroom. Barging into the bedroom, she suddenly realized that he was probably taking a shower inside.

The blush on her face deepened, and she abruptly recalled what he said to her yesterday. It had seemed like a joke at the time… ‘I won’t mind if you change into something from there tonight.’ At the time, I assumed that he had gotten rid of the box. So, I was wondering what was there for me to wear. But now… She suddenly had a daring idea. By the time she came back to her senses, she had already gone downstairs and was holding the box in her arms. Then, she hurriedly returned to her apartment as if she had never been next door.

After taking a shower, she stared at the lace outfit in front of her in a daze. This is nothing but two pieces of fabric… How am I supposed to wear this? She blushed crimson and took a deep breath before tossing aside the dirty thoughts in her head just now.
