Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 343

Hayden patted Kris on the back lightly. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling better now?”

Kris shook her head. Looking up, she caught sight of her own reflection in the mirror. Currently, there was a dazed look on her face as she realized that this had happened on and off recently. Initially, she had assumed that she was just slightly under the weather so she didn’t pay much attention to it. However, this time, it suddenly hit her that it had been more than two months since she had had her period.

Just then, she felt goosebumps all over and she pushed Hayden aside to make her way into the bedroom.

He ran after her frantically. “Kris, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let’s go to the hospital right away!”

Kris took a few steps forward in a hurry but as soon as she noticed that Hayden was right at her heels, she stopped in her tracks all of a sudden. And so, Hayden waited in front of her expectantly. She smiled forcefully at him as she muttered, “I’m fine. I think I must have eaten something bad. Why don’t you have breakfast first? I’ll freshen up in the bedroom and I won’t take too long.”

Hayden sighed in relief. “Alright; but I’ll wait for you to have breakfast together.”

At the moment, Kris didn’t have the energy to deal with Hayden despite his tenderness. She turned her back on him and walked toward the bedroom, not forgetting to shut the door behind her. At that instance when she shut the door, she missed the look of contemplation that flashed across the eyes of the man standing close by.

Kris shut the door and immediately rummaged in the drawer where she usually kept her contraceptive pill before she took one out of the packaging and immediately swallowed it. She would usually take preventative measures each time after having intercourse. Naturally, she never forgot to take it each time she was with Gideon because she didn’t want to get pregnant with his child. As for Hayden, he was a considerate lover so he would always remind her every time. However, she bit on her lower lip and she couldn’t quite control her uneasiness now.

After breakfast, Hayden sent Kris to work. Just before turning into the intersection to her office, she requested for him to stop the car at the pharmacy nearby. She told him that she wanted to get some gastric medication but instead, she discreetly bought a pregnancy test kit.

Hayden remained in the same spot after dropping her off at work. He then made his way back to the pharmacy that she had visited earlier and spoke to the woman who served her. “Excuse me, may I know what sort of medication did that pretty lady with waist-length hair, who visited ten minutes ago, bought?

…

Recently, Myra had completely stopped going to work. She had ongoing morning sickness and her baby was quite a fussy one. As such, her troubles with sleeping and eating were quite evident from her sunken, hollow cheeks.

Sebastian and Lisa both felt quite pained to see her suffer. Hence, both of them insisted that Myra stay at the Hart Residence for the time being so that they could take care of her.

As for Tony, he was quite busy recently and his left arm was almost fully recovered. In order to spend more time with Myra, he would usually leave for work late in the morning and come home early in the evening. However, he remained busy with work at home; there were files full of documents on the coffee table and the surrounding carpet on the ground. Leo was always going in and out of the place too. He had also jokingly mentioned to Myra that this current arrangement was too taxing for him and he had insisted on a pay raise.

Myra was mainly at home nowadays and she hardly left the house. Perhaps because of her morning sickness, she couldn’t quite stand the smell inside the car. Every morning after waking up, she would take a walk in the garden with Lisa. After having lunch, she would then take a short nap in the afternoon and after she woke up, she would normally be with Sebastian as they busied themselves with floral arrangements. All in all, her days were usually quite laid-back.

Occasionally, Myra would get phone calls from a couple of unlisted numbers on her cell phone. Normally, she would just ignore them and leave them ringing, or she would just turn her phone on silent. Whoever it was, she never answered the phone. As for her work at the Stark Group, Tilly would occasionally ring her for work-related issues. That happened quite rarely because Myra was on maternity leave right now so with Tilly being her personal assistant, the latter didn’t have much work to do. All she had to do was to follow up on the projects on hand.

To Myra’s surprise, the Walton Family seemed to be lying low lately or to be more specific, Gemma seemed to be keeping a low profile. However, word out there was that she seemed to have realized that she was permanently disfigured and there was a low chance for her to regain her old looks. Based on her personality from before, it was inevitable that she would create a huge scene but surprisingly, she was quite well-behaved recently and kept to herself.
