Tony’s eyes narrowed and he stopped walking up the stairs. Instead, he skirted around the coffee table and picked up Myra’s bag from the sofa before taking out her phone.
Although there was no caller ID, with Tony’s strong memory, he clearly knew who this number belonged to.
A frosty look flashed across his eyes. His thin lips twitched, then he swiped across the screen to answer the call and said blankly, “Hello?”
There was a strange silence on the other end. In an instant, the caller hung up.
A sardonic smile appeared on Tony’s face. He played with the phone for a while; his eyes were contemplative. Then, clutching the phone in his palm, he brought the bag of things upstairs to his bedroom.
Myra had already entered the bathroom, and the sound of water from inside was rather loud. Tony nonchalantly threw the bag onto the sofa in front of the bed, then fished out Myra’s phone and placed it on the bedside table before going to the next room to take a shower.
It was early autumn, so it was considerably hot during the day, but at night, it was quite chilly. At this moment, Myra was wrapped in a thin blanket, and it was almost as if she was going to fall off the other side of the bed.
Tony chuckled slightly. When he laughed, he saw Myra’s back stiffen.
He took a few steps forward. Tiny droplets of water were sliding down his body that was wrapped in only a bath towel, and his chest was firm.
Seeing as Myra wasn’t turning back, he twitched his eyebrows and climbed into bed.
Feeling the bed dip behind her, Myra became even more nervous. She pulled the thin blanket tightly around her, and she could hear her heart beating rapidly as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Eventually, the man behind her gradually scooted over and pulled her to his chest.
This time, he didn’t turn her over. Instead, he hugged her from behind and laid fiery kisses on her. Soon, his lips landed on the back of her neck.
Feeling the tremor of Myra’s body, Tony let out a low chuckle. “Did you dress like this on purpose? Hmm?”
Just now, after Myra came out of the bathroom, she searched around for a while but only managed to find Tony’s white shirt, so she had no choice but to put it on.
As she didn’t bring her clothes over, she could only dress this way for now. She was planning to go home tomorrow in the clothes she wore yesterday, so she would only change into them then.
But, lying there in his shirt made her feel very embarrassed, which was why she wrapped herself tightly with the blanket.Upon hearing Tony’s words, Myra’s ears turned extremely red. She was thankful that she had not turned around, so the man couldn’t see how much she was blushing.
She made an act of struggling a little, then pretended to be calm as she said, “Stop messing around. I want to sleep.”
“Myra, you’re always joking.” As Tony rubbed his chin on the woman’s shoulder, his hand inadvertently went to press something on the phone that was on the bedside table. Then, his hand grew restless.
He let out a deep laugh. “Myra, do you like it when I do this to you?”
“B-B*stard!” Myra hissed in a low voice.
Tony kissed her ear and chuckled. “I like doing this to you.”
After that, he stopped suppressing himself.
Myra was uncertain why he seemed to be inducing her to say certain things tonight, but she didn’t want to go against his wishes.
