Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 162

Myra straightened out her clothes. However, their vigorous exercise just now had long since caused her tidy office lady outfit to become a crumpled mess. Moreover, she even felt her legs giving out from under her when she got out of the car. Thus, she desperately steadied herself so as not to embarrass herself in front of the two men. Nodding at Sebastian and Shawn in a slightly awkward manner, she said, “Old Master Hart, Deputy Mayor Hart. I’m sorry for dropping by so suddenly.”

Sebastian noticed her slightly reddened eyes, then he glanced at his grandson’s stiff back. After that, a difficult expression surfaced on his face. He more or less guessed what had happened and immediately glared at his grandson fiercely. “Myra was still in the car! Why did you just walk off all alone?!”

At that moment, he completely forgot about his dissatisfaction toward Myra and began verbally attacking Tony instead. He couldn’t help thinking, How can this man be so ignorant of what’s good and bad when he finally found a woman that could tolerate his nasty temper after being single for so many years?! It was a good thing that he was single for so many years!

Tony’s gaze was empty. Under the light of the floral lamp, his eyes were cold and distant. “I forgot.”

Myra tightly clenched her fists that were hanging by her sides and nodded at the two men again. “I apologize for the sudden visit. I’d better visit you again on another date. I’m sorry, Old Master Hart, Deputy Mayor Hart.”

Then, she turned to leave. Behind her, Tony’s expression darkened even more.

Shawn glanced at Tony’s expression and shook his head before calling out to Myra. “Miss Stark, why don’t you come inside since you’re already here? The housekeeper made a lot of your favorite dishes tonight. It’s all because Tony called us in advance to prepare them for you.”

Myra paused in the middle of turning around. She glanced at the man standing not too far away only to see his gloomy expression. Tony frowningly turned to Shawn and said, “You talk too much!”

After that, he immediately turned around and headed toward the villa. Following his departure, a child’s innocent laughter rang out from inside the villa. It could be heard from afar. “Has Myra arrived?! Where is she?! Where is she?!”

Soon, Henry ran over to Myra. “Myra! You came after all! I thought Uncle Shawn was lying to me!”

The bridge of his nose was beaded with sweat from running. Looking at his shining eyes flashing with excitement and joy at the sight of her, she felt the grievances in her heart easing considerably. She bent down and used a tissue to wipe the sweat off his nose. “Why did you run so quickly?”

“Because I was afraid you might leave!” He grabbed her hand and led her inside. “Let’s go! Mrs. Frye just served the dishes on the table. Hehe; you have to sit next to me during dinner tonight.”

Although she was being dragged inside by Henry, she turned to look back at Sebastian. Sebastian seemed a little stunned at how affectionate his great-grandson was toward her. Seeing her questioning look, he glared at her. “What? Do you think there’s poison in our food? Why are you so unwilling to eat when we’ve already invited you over for dinner?”

Thus, she hurriedly swallowed the words that had been on the tip of her tongue and helplessly walked toward the villa. As soon as she entered the villa, she was greeted by the sight of Lisa and Serena standing not too far from the entrance. She walked over and nodded at Lisa. “Old Madam Hart.”

Pausing slightly when she saw Serena, she called out, “Hi, Serena.”

When Serena first heard that Myra had gotten together with Tony after her divorce, she had not been very surprised. And now, she had a gentle expression on her face as she looked at Myra. “Come in.”

As for Lisa, she simply nodded her head at Myra quietly. Meanwhile, Serena didn’t stop her son despite seeing that he was clinging very closely to Myra. She simply thought that Myra’s unnatural expression was due to her fear of Lisa, who rarely displayed her emotions. Thus, she secretly whispered, “Don’t worry. Grandma has always been like this. To be honest, she likes you a lot.”

Myra was a little taken aback by those words. She did not remember having any contact with Lisa before.
