Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 552

The atmosphere was a little awkward, causing the smile on Heather’s face to appear a little unnatural, but Myra merely took it that she was being shy. Completely unaware of the situation, Leon could neither understand why Heather was smiling so unnaturally nor the deep meaning behind Myra’s smile.

“Are you here to pick out furniture, Myra?” Heather asked casually, trying her best to mask her awkwardness.

Luckily, all of Myra’s attention was now on Leon. “I’m thinking of decorating the house,” she answered, turning her eyes to Heather.

Now that she and Tony had moved back to his other house by themselves, Myra was rather free staying at home and wanted to do something. She wanted to make the house more cozy, and while she rubbed her unborn child in her womb, she had the idea to make the place a little more cute and angelic. Since she already had the thought, she had to start working on it. In one of those rare times when she would visit a furniture and bedding store, she unexpectedly bumped into Heather.

A little while after Heather returned to the country back then, this was the store she had dragged Myra in. To Heather, this store had high-end custom-made pieces with rather good designs, so it was the first store that popped into her mind when she wanted to buy furniture.

“It’s not always that you have such plans. Do you need my help?” Heather offered without thinking. A heavy task such as decorating the house was not suitable for a pregnant woman, and since Heather got to know about it, she just had to help out Myra a little.

“I haven’t picked out the furniture yet. Why don’t you help me with it?” Myra said, accepting her offer. As she hadn’t figured out the relationship between Heather and Leon, it seemed like she would have to disrupt their date a little longer.

Next to them, Leon, who wanted to interject into their conversation the whole time, couldn’t find the opportunity at all as the women spoke one after the other. Meanwhile, Myra kept thinking of ways to steer the conversation to Leon because Heather didn’t seem like she wanted to introduce him at all.

“Sure, then we’ll pick it out carefully for you.” For now, Heather had thrown her own issues to the back of her head as Myra’s issue was more important.

Still, it was one thing to pick out the appropriate furniture because some had to be customized, and she might not be able to buy everything she wanted.

From time to time, Leon would shoot glances at Heather so that she would formally introduce himself, but she merely ignored him. However, Myra, who was purposely not looking at Leon, asked casually, “Heather, aren’t you going to introduce the person beside you to me?”

Heather’s bizarre behavior only served to affirm Myra’s conclusion. At the same time, Leon’s spirits lifted the moment he heard Myra specially mentioning himself.

Casting a glare at him, Heather found it surprising that Leon wasn’t up to his silly ways as he usually did. Normally, he would have tried to make his existence known. I really gotta hand it to him for being so serious now.

“He’s my junior in school, Leon, the stunning man with mixed heritage as well as my business partner,” Heather said, formally introducing Leon even though it sounded overtly simple.

Looking at Leon thoughtfully, Myra recalled that Heather had mentioned her junior before. Oh. So he’s the one. As the saying went, ‘seeing is believing.’ Back then, Heather merely mentioned him casually, but they seemed especially well-matched for each other as she looked at the both of them now.

Leon came off as a very cheerful person, looking like the boy next door when he smiled, and his beautiful appearance earned him a lot of attention. Until now, Myra always thought that Heather was so stunning that everyone couldn’t help but steal a peek at her, but after seeing Leon today, she realized that he was truly the person who would attract everyone’s eyes.

Such a bright and cheerful person complemented Heather rather well, and Myra had assumed them as a couple. On the other hand, after hearing that Heather had introduced himself, Leon immediately said, “I’m happy to finally meet you after hearing about you from Heather so often. You look like a very gentle person, Myra.” At the end, he didn’t forget to throw in a compliment to please Myra.

Myra seemed a little awkward after being stared at by Leon, who didn’t quit his bad habit of mesmerizing others with his eyes, and this made Heather furrow her brows.

“Don’t you have to buy bedding items, Leon? Don’t follow us around and waste your time,” she said, not wanting Leon to stick with them.

Giving her an aggrieved look, he didn’t understand why she wanted to cast him aside as he replied, “I’m not in a rush to get my stuff, so let’s shop together!” His insistence on sticking together with them earned him a glare from Heather.

Even Myra chirped in a word for him, saying, “I’m almost done anyway, so you don’t have to go through the trouble of shopping separately. You guys can help me to pick one out of two.”

Obviously, she was filled with interest about Leon, and Heather couldn’t do anything to stop it, but she was worried that Leon might say something wrong in front of Myra. From the look in Myra’s eyes, Heather already knew that she thought there was a complicated relationship between herself and Leon. While Heather wanted to explain herself, after some thought, she figured there was no need to.

There was a benefit if Myra mistook her relationship with him. At least, Myra would stop asking her about her complicated relationship with Matthias.

Still, she was worried that Leon didn’t know how to play along because he didn’t understand the looks she was casting him. If something slipped out of him unexpectedly, Heather couldn’t promise that she wouldn’t blow her top at him.

While chatting, they reached the store Myra was shopping from. The designs from this store pleased Heather rather well, but the bedding items from this store were more adorable while she preferred something with a simplistic and elegant design.

It was surprising for Heather that Myra decided on this store, and when she pictured Tony’s face appearing in such a cute room, she thought that it seemed a little out of place. Her surprise doubled when she saw the blueprint of the design because the furniture Myra had picked out were more cute than she had imagined.
