Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 302

There was only one thing on her mind—Sasha mentioned that Tony did not deliberately allow her to get her hands on the video, which caused a conflicted expression to appear in Myra’s eyes.

…

On that night, it was only at around 2:00 AM that Tony returned when Myra was sound asleep. However, she opened her eyes sleepily after feeling the other side of the bed slightly sinking. Even though she had waited for him for a short while, she ended up dozing off until he finished his shower and got into the bed.

With fresh water droplets on his body, he found that he had woken her up and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he spoke in a low voice, “I’m sorry I woke you up.”

Since Myra had been sleeping a lot for the night, she was no longer tired after seeing that Tony was back. She opened her eyes and looked at him. “How’s the apartment?”

He kissed her forehead. “Nothing much. It’s just a normal burglar who broke into your apartment to steal some stuff. He stole a few access cards from somewhere and pretended to be one of the residents there. I’ve changed the locks for you and asked people to clean it up. I’ve also reported this incident to the police and they will handle this case from now onward. You don’t have to worry.”

“Okay…” Myra was relieved to hear that, but her eyes squinted slightly.

Tony patted her back and asked nonchalantly, “Do you have any important documents like documents for the shares or the assets you own in the apartment?

“Initially, yes. But, I’ve already handed it to Mr. Engelhard to take care of them for me,” she replied, but her eyes were still narrowed. Since he had said it was an ordinary burglar, she did not worry much about it. The only valuable items in her apartment were jewellery and accessories, but she didn’t like them, so there weren’t a lot of them in the apartment. She just regarded losing those valuable items as a means to cancel her misfortunes.

However, she did not see that his eyes were curved into a handsome smile after he heaved a sigh of relief. Pinching her face, he said, “You are pretty generous to place all your valuable items with Mr. Engelhard.”

“He treats me like I’m his granddaughter. I trust him.” When Tony pinched Myra’s face, she opened her eyes and spoke to him seriously.

“Alright, alright.” Tony nodded profusely. As far as he was aware, he found out that Mr. Engelhard did not have any grandchildren and genuinely cared for Myra. Hence, Tony just turned a blind eye on the matter.

However, he did not tell her that from the surveillance footage, the burglar obviously had the keys to her apartment and no one knew where that man came from.

Tony quietly suppressed his emotions and tightly grabbed her hand. As he arched his eyebrows, he suddenly looked at Myra. “A while ago I didn’t take much notice of you, but now that I look at you, it seems that your cheeks have become chubbier.”

To a woman, such words definitely would raise an alert.

Myra immediately sat up from the bed. Her action had shocked Tony so much that he quickly got up and pressed her down. “Be careful.”

“No worries.” She stared into his eyes even though her head was slightly lowered. Then, she looked up at the man in front of her. “What about this? I fell asleep earlier, so my cheeks were squished together. Now, I look less chubby, don’t I?”

Myra knew that her face looked best from that angle, but she was unsure how she looked to him from his angle since he was taller than her. At that instant, she felt slightly depressed that Tony had recently pampered her so much that she felt her clothes becoming tighter.

Tony froze before smiling at her. He pinched her serious face in amusement again. “It’s fine even if you gained some weight. You will still be as pretty as before.”

The words ‘gained some weight’ had triggered her nerves. She quickly got up from bed and walked to the full length mirror in the bedroom.

Her reflection in the mirror still looked like someone slender. Even though she was in her pajamas, it was obvious that the word ‘fat’ had nothing to do with her. However, it was undeniable that she had gained some weight. The more she looked at her reflection, the more she thought that she was slightly chubby.
