Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 392

Despite her impatience, Kris walked outside as she replied, “I got it, Mom!” She then thought to herself, What does she mean by saying that Hayden is my only bargaining chip? The tide will turn when I manage to carry on with Tony!

…

When Myra came out of the bathroom, she saw that her man had just finished taking a shower. With a bath towel wrapped around his waist, he sat on the edge of their bed and tinkered with his cell phone while baring his strong and sturdy upper body.

When she went over, she happened to hear the sound of a screenshot being taken. She lifted an eyebrow, walked up to him, and took a glance at his cell phone’s screen. “What are you doing?”

Tony froze slightly at that moment, but he quickly locked his cell phone in an unperturbed manner. Then, he held her in his arms and took a deep sniff of her neck. He said with a chuckle, “You smell so nice, honey.”

“Who were you texting just now?” Myra noticed from the fleeting glance earlier that Tony was chatting with someone, and he seemed to have texted the person that he would arrive in an hour. She kissed his chin and smelled the scent of aftershave—her favorite scent. As she wrapped her arms affectionately around his waist, she looked up and stared at him. “Are you going out? You just came back after finishing your work.”

“Who says that I’m going out?” Tony laughed. Holding Myra in his arms, he sat her on his lap, took the towel on the side of the bed and helped her dry her damp hair. “I’ll dry your hair for you.”

Myra had seen him texting the person about going out, but since he insisted otherwise, she decided to believe his story. After snuggling up in his arms obediently, she held out the hairdryer in her hand.

It was a hassle to tidy Myra’s wavy waist-length hair, but Tony did so with painstaking care. Seeing that she wanted to comb her hair after he finished blow-drying it, he took the comb from her and carefully helped to brush her hair out.

Myra was still thinking of what she saw just now even when she lay down. “Are you really not going out?” she asked. Then, she paused for a moment and continued, “Actually, you don’t have to care about me if you have something to do. I’ll wait at home until you come back.”

Tony laughed. He gave her a kiss on the forehead before taking her into his arms. “Do you really want me to go out that much?”

“No, I don’t want you to go out at such a late hour, of course. I’m just worried that I might keep you from something.” Myra felt incredibly relieved while nestling in Tony’s arms, for there was a scent around him that put her mind at rest.

“Nothing is more important than you.” Tony tightened his arms around her. “We’ve been busy all day long today, so let’s sleep.”

“Are you telling me to sleep so that you can go out after I fall asleep?” teased Myra, but as soon as she finished her sentence, she saw the danger in Tony’s eyes. She quickly closed her eyes and said, “I’m so tired and sleepy—I’m going to sleep.”

“Good girl…” Tony chuckled in a deep voice.

Myra was indeed tired after following Tony around the whole day, so she soon fell asleep while nestling in his arms. After she fell asleep, he took his cell phone while keeping an arm wrapped around her waist. Then, he sent someone the screenshot he had taken just now.
