Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 188

Myra felt something warm budding in her heart. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand that was pretending to take stuff out of the small shopping cart and interlaced her fingers with his. Then, she softly said, “I’ll just order them online for her. You don’t need to put any of the stuff you like back.”

Tony lifted his eyebrow at her and wryly said, “That’s not good, is it?”

Looking at his insincere and sanctimonious attitude, she squeezed his fingers hard. I’ve never seen a more shameless man than this guy. At the same time, she exasperatedly said, “It doesn’t matter. We bought enough today anyway.”

Only then did he seem satisfied. He twisted his hand out of her grip to hold her hand instead while pushing the shopping cart along as he continued onward. She watched as the corners of his mouth lifted into the faintest smile. It was hard for her to imagine his cold and indifferent appearance, and her heart softened even more.

Finally, they pushed the shopping cart over to the cashier to check out their items. He had always been an impatient man. Fortunately, not many people were at the cashier at the moment. Therefore, they didn’t need to wait for long before their turn came.

Behind them stood another couple that seemed to be university students. The couple was in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Even during such a short wait in line, they had already exchanged kisses at least three times.

Myra inadvertently glanced backward before turning forward again uncomfortably. She normally wasn’t bothered by stuff like this. It was probably because Tony was standing next to her right now that she felt embarrassed to witness such an intimate scene.

Tony glanced at her blushing cheeks. He seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye. Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he leaned close to her ears and whispered, “Myra, let’s make a bet.”

“Huh?” Her ear felt ticklish. Turning her head, her pink and tender lips happened to brush against his thin lips. The touch of softness that brushed across their lips seemed driven by an electric current that made his eyes darken immediately. When she saw his expression, she hurriedly moved away from him. She uncomfortably asked in a low voice, “What kind of bet?”

“You will suddenly call out my name while we are settling the bill later.” A trace of displeasure swept across his eyes when he saw her distancing herself from him. Thus, he pulled her back into his arms.

That posture happened to put her in a position where she could see the ambiguous gaze of the couple behind them. Hence, her face flushed redder than before. She speechlessly stood primly in his arms and glared at him. “Stop fooling around.”

“Will you accept the bet?” The man didn’t seem to notice the strange looks they were receiving from their surroundings; he was staring straight into her eyes.

She suddenly realized that bringing this shameless man to the supermarket with her was a huge mistake. Looking into his sudden scorching gaze, she felt her scalp tingling. “Sure; sure,” she perfunctorily replied while hastily pushing the man away.

This time around, he did not pull her back into his arms again. He simply whispered next to her, “If I win, we’ll go to my place today. Okay?”

She stiffened and glanced at him a little suspiciously. “Aren’t we living next to each other? Is there a difference?”

At the same time, a faint blush crept over her face. She had been sweating bullets, thinking that he was going to say something utterly shocking. Thus, she breathed a sigh of relief at his words.

Brushing her hair aside, he murmured, “Not your apartment; the place I used to live in.”

“Oh.” Is he talking about the apartment he used to live in? To be honest, it doesn’t matter where we go. I’ve already promised to spend the entire afternoon with him. It’s enough as long as there’s a kitchen to cook in. Thus, she nodded after briefly considering it. “Okay.”

A faint chill appeared at the corner of Tony’s lips, but Myra failed to notice it. She didn’t pay any attention to the words he said just now. Even if they had not made the bet, she would have gone there with him since he mentioned it. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about his temperament.

As she was paying, he handed a gold VIP card directly to the lady cashier. “Use this card.”

She wasn’t bothered by these details. When she saw the card being handed over, she immediately kept her purse. She was just about to pack up the things that had been scanned when she suddenly saw him casually grabbing a box of Okamoto Ultra-Thin Condoms that were placed next to the counter. He handed it to the lady cashier calmly. “Add this in too.”
