Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 219

Rachel even started wiping tears away when she mentioned that Cameron had been missing Myra ever since the latter left. She even claimed that Cameron would prefer for her to move back home since she had divorced Sean.

At the mention of Sean, the three of them seemed to hate him with a vengeance. They started scolding him a good deal by claiming that he is ungrateful and short-sighted. They even proclaimed that he would live a short life, and that he is an indecent and good-for-nothing man. The trio were acting as if they bore a grudge on Myra’s behalf.

Myra merely listened to them without responding and her face was void of expression. In the end, the three of them quietened down, most probably because they felt awkward. Then, they started chatting about current company matters.

“Myra, Kris is still young so she is inexperienced in a lot of things. You should give her pointers in the company. You do not have to hold back if she makes a mistake at work—feel free to reprimand her.” Rachel served a bowl of soup to Myra’s right and she smiled at Myra sincerely. “If she has the audacity to talk back, just let me know and I will reprimand her immediately. Here—have some soup. I spent three hours preparing it because I was worried that it might not be flavorful enough. I think you’ll like it.”

Cameron observed from the side with a look of admiration. Rachel is not highly educated but she has always been gentle and virtuous, all the while knowing her place. I do not have to worry about matters at home at all. My eldest daughter, on the other hand, has been acting weird ever since her mother passed away. Right now, however, she has returned to the Stark Group to fight for the company…

Myra took note of Cameron’s expression and she glanced at Rachel’s gentle and warm expression.

How is it possible to just pretend to be gentle and warm?

Myra looked down to continue eating her food, ignoring the soup that Rachel served her.

Dinner was coming to an end when somebody rang the doorbell of the villa all of a sudden.

It was almost 8 PM and usually guests would inform beforehand if they were to show up at such a late hour.

Cameron and the three of them exchanged glances. In the end, Mrs. Fletcher went ahead to open the door.

They heard the noise of a car pulling up into the courtyard. Myra was familiar with the car’s engine sound and upon hearing that, her heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t smiled the moment she entered the Stark Residence but her lips finally curled slightly now, and there was a tinge of surprise in her expression too. She put down her utensils and walked toward the entryway.

Mrs. Fletcher was already running in and she anxiously announced to those at the dining room, “Master and Mrs. Stark, Miss Kris—there is a guest and he says that his surname is ‘Hart’.”

His surname is Hart?

Cameron’s gaze sparkled when he heard that. There aren’t many Harts who will pay a visit at this hour. Who else is there apart from Tony Hart from the Hart Group?

Cameron shifted his focus on Myra, who was now at the entryway. Looks like Myra has not failed me. I can’t believe that she managed to land Tony after divorcing Sean.

One couldn’t be sure if his gaze reflected his regrets or that he was mocking her. Soon, he followed after her to the entrance. After all, it didn’t matter who it was; as long as it was a Hart paying a visit to the Stark Residence, it must be a VIP.

On the other hand, Rachel and Kris, who were in the dining room, looked utterly upset.

Kris’ expression changed drastically so Rachel kicked her under the table. “We will act according to the circumstances. Hide your emotions well and stop letting the whole world know what you’re thinking!” Rachel hissed at her.

Kris went overboard by being nice to Myra earlier. Anyone with common sense could tell that the former was just pretending. However, Cameron was present so Rachel couldn’t remind Kris at that time.

Kris bit her lip. She wanted to say something but she thought of the man who had just arrived at the Stark Residence, and her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly thought of another idea so she kept her head bowed.

A black sports car stopped in the courtyard swiftly. After switching off the lights, a tall figure emerged from said car.

The man was tall and well-built, and he was wearing a black suit with his jacket unbuttoned. His face was void of expression and as the dim lights shone on his handsome face, it casted a shadow on the lower half of his face. Hence, it was almost impossible to read his expression.

He had a hand in his pocket when he walked toward the main entrance of the villa. It was obvious that he was moving casually but his aura was unmistakable. His cold and distant gaze, coupled with the assuredness due to his age and experience, reflected his calm and elegant nature.
