Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 165

When Tony came downstairs, he saw Myra sitting on the sofa in the living room alone. She was busy enjoying some fruits. He had been in a bad mood ever since he came out of the study. However, his spirits lifted after he came downstairs and sat beside her. Settling down next to her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed the side of her face. His deep and low voice sounded and lingered in her ears. “What are you watching?”

A variety show was playing on the TV, and she had a faint smile hanging from the corner of her lips when he embraced her. She carefully looked him up and down, seeming to breathe out a sigh of relief upon seeing that he wasn’t injured. “You’re finally back.”

He did not know if it was his imagination, but the way she said the word ‘finally’ seemed a little coy. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Did you miss me?”

“I did.” She nodded without hesitation.

His breath hitched at her words. She was the type to feel shy easily, so it was the first time she admitted that she missed him so straightforwardly and boldly. Pulling her into his embrace, his voice became significantly hoarser. “Grandma wants us to stay over tonight.”

She was slightly taken aback. They want me to stay over at the Hart Residence tonight? It looks like they have accepted my relationship with Tony. That’s surprising; I thought I failed to leave a good impression on those two elders tonight. The corners of her mouth curved slightly. At the same time, she obediently snuggled deeper into his embrace. “I’ll do as you wish.”

Her warm and soft body lay in his arms just like that. For a moment, he was completely stunned—he probably never expected for her to act so out of character. Lifting her chin suddenly, he made her clear eyes meet his gaze that was surging with an undercurrent of emotions. “Why are you so obedient tonight?”

Her face flushed with a red glow upon hearing those words, and she turned her head away. “If you don’t like it, we can always go home.” I’m only pretending to be calm. How can I possibly endure staring into his eyes for such a long time?

She only heard a deep and low voice reverberating in her ears. In the next moment, he pulled her entire body into his arms—she was already sitting in his lap before she could react.

“Tony, there are other people in the house…” She was terribly afraid that he might do something crazy right here and right now regardless of their surroundings. Therefore, her face turned bright scarlet. She also did not dare to speak loudly and could only whisper to the man in front of her.

“Did you know that Grandma did not prepare a guest room for you?” The man suddenly nibbled on her earlobe while speaking in a hoarse voice.

She didn’t react immediately. By the time she came back to her senses, her body started to burn in response. On the other hand, he laughed instead. When he laughed, his chest vibrated slightly. Moreover, his laughter was filled with a domineering and possessive aura.

She knew he said that to her on purpose. Still… even if Old Madam Hart prepared a room for me… based on Tony’s temperament, I would still have to sleep in his room… Her cheeks became warm as she pushed him away. “I’ll go and ask Mrs. Frye to see if she can prepare a room for me.”

“Prepare a room for you?” He clamped down tightly on her waist and squinted at her dangerously.

By this time, she was blushing so hard that her blush crept along the base of her neck. She no longer dared to look into his eyes. His eyes seemed to contain two little dancing fireballs that threatened to flare into a large fire at the slightest provocation. Feeling the danger emitting from him, she bit her lip and suddenly kissed him on his thin lips. “Don’t cause any more trouble, okay? Let’s watch TV for a bit. Your house is full of people. If you kick up another fuss, I wouldn’t dare to come here with you again.”

Her kiss felt as if she was trying to ingratiate herself to the man in front of her and appease him. Thus, she was snuggling in his arms and playing coy like a docile little kitten. He had to admit that his heart was being soothed by the woman in front of him. I hate how I’m always wrapped around her finger. But, even I have to admit that I quite enjoy this situation.
