Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 331

There had not been much to glean from what Elsie had said, but she knew that the entire incident had something to do with Kris and probably Gemma as well.

She felt uneasy as she returned to Tony’s suite and upon entering, she saw that he was eating his meal with one hand.

Although he was injured and seated on the bedside while spooning mouthfuls of food with one hand, he looked graceful nonetheless.

Myra felt the knot in her stomach untangle at the sight of him doing so. She sauntered over and took the spoon and the bowl from him before she brought a mouthful of porridge to his thin lips.

Tony raised his brow at her action. “I thought I was supposed to eat it on my own.”

She rolled her eyes at him. “At the speed you’re eating, the porridge would be cold by the time you manage to finish it.”

He flashed the barest hint of a smile as he mused, “You never mean what you say, Myra. I know you care about me. You don’t have to come up with an excuse just so you can run back here and feed me, you know.”

A blushing Myra unceremoniously shoved a spoonful of porridge into his mouth and snapped, “Shut up and eat your porridge.”

A low chuckle escaped Tony and a glint of amusement flashed in his obsidian eyes.

After they were done with the meal, they decided to take a late evening stroll. It was inevitable that they had to pass Gemma’s suite in order to get to the elevators and as they took in the burly bodyguards stationed outside her room, they could also hear her manic screams from behind the door. It sounded as though she was on the phone as she demanded to be released from the room, but it was clear that her request had been met with harsh rejection.

Seeing that Myra’s expression had grown grim, Tony reached out to clasp her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

They entered one of the elevators and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator made several stops along the way and as people came and went, she took care to shield him, afraid that someone could jostle against or bump into the cast on his arm.

He only smiled at her defensive stance and tightened his grip on her hand.

For all the time they had spent together, it seemed as though they had never once taken a stroll with their hands intertwined. They made their way to the hospital gardens and treated the evening walk as light exercise. She clearly enjoyed herself, judging from the smile on her face that remained in place throughout the entire stroll.

Occasionally, a few passers-by would notice them and observe their obvious chemistry with admiration and envy. Myra had never thought that her relationship with Tony would come so naturally and there was a synergy between them that was akin to that of an old married couple, although they had only been dating for less than half a year.

When she abruptly came to a stop, she rose on her tiptoes. Under the man’s quizzical gaze, she reached up to pull him down by the nape and placed a kiss on his cheek. Then, she blushed as she looked away from him.

Tony’s eyes brightened at her gesture as he teased, “Did you do that on purpose?”

He had no qualms about saying such things in public.

Upon hearing that, Myra felt her heart begin to race and she began to chide herself for acting like a lovesick idiot. It was no wonder that she found herself subjected to his merciless teasing all the time.

She was about to march forward when Tony intentionally tripped her. He caught her by the waist just as she stumbled before he bent down to press his lips against her pink ones.

Myra’s eyes widened momentarily as she met the endless ocean that was his dark gaze. She could see the warmth and the fierce love he had for her in his eyes.
