Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 228

“What’s wrong?” Myra did not miss the bruise at the corner of his eye. Once she lifted his head to take a closer look, her beautiful eyebrows knitted into a frown.

The corner of Henry’s right eye was bruised and it was obvious that someone had beat him up. Even though it was not something serious, it was too much for a kid to handle.

“Someone bullied you in school?”

Myra was sure that the bruise on Henry was not from a fall. Apart from that, teachers would not beat students up, so she presumed that Henry got into a fight with his classmates.

The boy avoided her glance and muttered, “I accidentally fell down during sports class today.”

Seeing that Myra was still staring at him fixedly, Henry grabbed her hand and forced a smile. “Let’s go, Myra. The mall isn’t far from here, so we’ll be there soon.”

However, Myra did not leave just because of his words. Instead, she pursed her lips and looked at Henry seriously. “You are not being honest with me, which makes me really unhappy.”

This was the first time Henry saw Myra being so serious and he choked slightly. “Myra—”

“Hmph! Aunt Elsie, he’s the one who knocked out my teeth! But the teacher said both of us were in the wrong, so she asked us to invite both our parents. Not only that, she also gave me a lecture! Aunt Elsie, you have to help me out here!”

Suddenly, an arrogant voice of a young boy rang out and interrupted Henry, whose expression changed immediately.

Following Henry’s gaze, Myra saw an adult and a young boy walking over to them, and she frowned again.

She did not know the young boy, but she knew the woman next to him whom he addressed as ‘Aunt Elsie’. Of course, she was none other than Elsie Foster.

After thinking back on what the boy had just said, Myra stood in front of Henry subconsciously as she faced the two people walking toward them.

Elsie was equally surprised to see Myra here, but she placed one of her hands on her hips while holding the boy with the other hand as she walked to Myra slowly. “Look who we have here—Miss Stark, it’s been a while.”

Elsie had an evil and mocking smile on her face.

It was all because of this b*tch that I got chased out by Sean from the Stark Group! However, I’ve had a stroke of luck after that. With some help, coupled with me being pregnant with Sean’s child, Eve treats me differently now. With the future successor of the Chase Group in my belly, even Eve has to be careful of my mood when she talks to me.

After remembering the grievances that she suffered from Myra and recalling what her nephew had just told her, the smile on Eve’s face grew wider as she caressed the little boy’s head. “Georgie, calm down. You have to forgive children who do not have their mom or dad. After all, no one is there to teach them manners, so it’s perfectly normal for them to grow up and become the scums of society.”

Upon hearing this, both Myra and Henry’s expressions changed immediately. In fact, Henry felt slightly guilty when he heard this because he knew that Myra’s mother had also passed away. He felt that it was his fault that she was being insulted along with him. Biting his lip, he held Myra’s hand and lifted his little face to look at her. “Myra, the injuries at the corner of my eye is due to the fight I had with him. He said that I’m a b*stard who doesn’t have a father, but I am happy enough to be with Mom!”

Seeing the firm look on his face, Myra merely caressed his head and she could guess what took place. Since Henry’s parents were divorced, there would surely be playful students in the school who provoked him deliberately. Henry was probably unable to help himself, so he got into a fight with them.

Myra then looked at Elsie calmly. “It’s just a fight between two kids. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far, Miss Foster?”

“Just a fight?” Elsie snorted out laughing. “How did a simple fight result in Georgie’s teeth falling out?”
