Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 509

Under the bright moonlight, Bradfort City was illuminated with the festive decorations. The Hart Family was also undeniably quite busy. Apart from Myra and Tony, everyone else including Tony’s eldest brother were home for the Lantern Festival.

Shawn had received Tony’s message when he was at the dinner table. When Tony found out about the stalker, he immediately sent the person’s information to Shawn. Since the family was having a great time around the dinner table, Shawn did not want to interfere with the great atmosphere and remained silent about the matter.

Only Shawn and Sebastian were initially the ones to have known about the matter. Since others were in the dark, Shawn had to find another time to speak to Sebastian about this.

However, things became increasingly complicated. Before this, all the possible reasons that were hypothesized by Ben and Shawn for Tony and Myra being stalked were refuted. After all, all they could think of was their business enemies. However, a normal businessman had no power to hire such a stalker. Hence, it seemed like the incident was related to a government official, but Shawn proclaimed that he did not make any enemies.

Apart from that, it did not make sense to stalk Tony if the mastermind was targeting Shawn himself. No matter what, the explanation did not make any sense. Thinking about this, Shawn did not eat much for dinner.

The Hart Family had moved the table to their garden tonight so that they could enjoy dinner while looking at the moon at the same time. When Shawn raised his head to look at the moon, he was worried about Tony and Myra’s safety, especially the pregnant Myra.

Hence, he insisted for Tony to quickly return to Bradfort City. At least no one dared to do anything to them here and he believed that he had the ability to protect them.

However, Tony insisted on his own beliefs and refused to listen to Shawn to return to Bradfort City. Instead, he was firm on carrying out his original plan. Sebastian also hoped that Tony could quickly return because the Hart Group had not been performing well and he was even waiting for Tony to be back to take control of the situation.

Nevertheless, Tony’s reason was also logical—since the stalker’s intentions were unclear and did not harm them, he was worried that the stalker would discover something if he and Myra suddenly changed their plans. It would be worse if the person decided to hurt them after that.

No matter what, it was a rather complicated problem that made Shawn unable to enjoy the Lantern Festival in peace. In fact, he was quite envious of the people who were oblivious to the incident—at least they were able to laugh joyfully. He had a feeling that the opponent was aiming at the Hart Family, but he had no idea why the said person had decided to start with Tony.

There was another possibility that the Hart Family had been targeted a while ago, but they had not noticed it. It could have been a coincidence that Tony found out about it at this moment. As a result, Shawn had been quite careful these days and even Sebastian took extra note of the surroundings around the Hart Residence. To them, it seemed like something was always off somewhere.

Because of this, Tony was not in a rush to return. It was possible that the Hart Family was the target of their opponent and he could flexibly adapt to the situation now that he was abroad, but his options were limited if he returned.

He had his concerns surrounding this matter and had clearly addressed it with Shawn. Meanwhile, Shawn was trying to check and identify any suspicious characters around him.

While everyone had their focus on Tony and Myra, they had no clue that danger was slowly inching closer toward them. Heather thought that it was caused by some enemies that the Hart Family made, but none of them knew that the Hart Family was about to suffer from even more misfortunes.

Everything started on the afternoon of the Lantern Festival when Heather had a disagreement with Robert. Since he looked terrible, she did not dare to disobey him any further, no matter how stubborn she was.

Hence, she agreed to his request and rejected the date with Matthias. When he saw the message from her, he felt he had descended to hell from heaven.

Perhaps Evan was right wherein women were unpredictable. Without any elaboration, Heather had merely sent Matthias a simple sentence—‘Can’t make it during the Lantern Festival.’

She did not even make it clear whether they were going to postpone the date to sometime after the Lantern Festival; she merely said that she could not make it on this day. Without even thinking about it, he wore his sweater and immediately drove straight to the Langston Family. After all, he was quite resentful that she had canceled their date just like that.

However, Heather had already foreseen this happening. When Matthias arrived at the Langston Family, he was blocked by the servants outside, who did not even give him the opportunity to enter the house.

“Director Locke, the Langston Family has no plans to see any guests today. Please head home today.” The servants repeated the exact words that Robert used when Matthias arrived the day before as Robert could tell that something was wrong.

In the morning, she was arguing with Robert to head out today. He guessed that she wanted to meet Matthias for a date, so he did not allow Matthias to enter their residence.

She had no idea that he came to her place to look for her wheras he left in annoyance, thinking that she had deliberately asked the servants to give him a hard time.

To Matthias, Heather had broken her promise and was merely placating him the day before. It was a humiliation he had never experienced up until now, so his face was as dark as charcoal on his way back. Why did I insist on going to the Langston Family? I bet Heather is laughing at me now. Great. Since she dared to turn around and slam into my car yesterday, I should understand that she has no feelings for me.

He felt that he had failed miserably. When he finally summoned his courage to start all over with Heather, she already hated him. He had never felt such desperation in his entire life.

On the other hand, he also felt despair toward Myra as he had no opportunity to fight for her heart. When he faced Heather, she would give him a blow no matter what he attempted.
