Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 554

Myra was visibly disappointed to hear him say that. During the times they had spent together, Heather was never especially flirtatious with Leon. On the other hand, Leon seemed enthusiastic whenever he looked at Heather. Then again, when Myra carefully recollected Leon’s gaze toward Heather, she realized there wasn’t much real passion in his eyes.

Oh, Heather and her relationships! Forget about making progress with Philip, she can’t even do that with Lucas! Other than these two men, there were no other suitable men that Myra knew with the capabilities to fulfill her friend’s basic needs.

“Stop worrying about Heather’s love life. She may have plans for herself.” Tony stated firmly as he got even more determined that there were some feelings between Heather and Matthias.

Back when they bumped into Matthias in the spa, complication and frustration filled Heather’s eyes when she glared at him. To Tony, this gave their connection away.

On the other hand, back at the tea place, the way Heather looked at Leon was as if she was looking at a little brother, with not even a trace of intimacy between a man and a woman.

Presently, a pregnant Myra was undoubtedly foolishly adorable. Upon reaching the theater from the tea place successfully, Tony put down his umbrella.

As the private theater was on the fifth floor, they went in and looked for an elevator. While holding the umbrella with one hand, Tony grabbed Myra’s hand in the other, making them look especially lovey-dovey. Since returning from overseas, he was constantly occupied with work, leaving no time for her. Thankfully, he got to get off work early that day so naturally, the first thing he would want was some alone time with his wife.

Myra and Tony arrived at the quiet private theater and were warmly welcomed by the reception staff. As expected from a private theater, the ticket prices were sky-high. Because of her pregnancy, Myra shouldn’t be watching movies that were stress-inducing. Thus, they went for a romantic film.

Looking at her discontented expression, Tony tugged on her hand. When they were selecting a movie earlier, Myra insisted on watching a horror thriller, only to be instantly shot down by the man.

Due to the immense pressure from Tony, she could only pick a light-hearted, romance film, leaving her craving for a horror movie unfulfilled.

“Now, now, don’t be wilful,” Tony claimed in his usual tone that was gentle yet stern, effectively dismissing any further objection.

Soon, they entered the reserved room. In truth, the room was so spacious that it could contain two dozen people. Apart from the landscapes of exotic sceneries painted on the wall, the beds and couches made the room feel very much like a home theater.

Although the screen wasn’t as enormous as that of a cinema, it was certainly bigger than a typical home theater’s screen. At first sight, the room looked pretty classy while the viewing effects were as well up to the mark. Thanks to that, as well as Tony’s willingness to sit through a romance film with her, Myra stopped whining about her initial desire.

“Do you even like movies like this?” she questioned softly.

“I like anything you like,” he replied as he stared deeply into her eyes. As they were the only people in the dim room, he had a pulsating urge to kiss her.

“Eyes on the screen, please,” Myra blurted as she avoided his peck. Although they were in a private space, anywhere that wasn’t home to her was considered public. Hence, she couldn’t help but feel too embarrassed to make out with him.

“But I rather look at you,” Tony proceeded with his amorous talk, to which Myra responded by covering her face with her hands. Unlike his apathetic front, he was an entirely different man in private.

“You said you wanted to watch a movie with me, so watch it with me. Even our child is focused on it.” Immediately, Tony pulled Myra into his chest with a force so overbearing yet loving.

“I like cuddling during movies.” he murmured as he embraced her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head.

He squeezed her with his warm body from behind and his breath continuously brushed against her nose. Feeling as if she was completely wrapped in his embrace, Myra shook her head slightly. Meanwhile, Tony, who felt rather awkward placing his hand on her inflated abdomen, moved his hand upward.

“Stay still,” he urged, pretending to be all serious as his hand was nearing her “valuable” parts, which caused Myra to feel helpless.

“Mind your hands,” she retorted.

“You don’t like the top? Guess I’ll go down, then.” As he spoke with a devilish grin, his hand swiftly slid downward.

“Stop it!” Myra got even more defensive toward Tony, who was constantly coming up with ways to take advantage of her. I’d rather you go back up!

At that moment, there were many things Tony wanted and was willing to experience with Myra, including things that were perfectly normal.

As long as she was by his side, even the dullest little things would turn into rainbows and unicorns, and he did not mind whatever they did. Even just by thinking about the goals they could achieve in the world, Tony would get energetic, intensifying his inclination to walk alongside Myra in every path they took.

At the beginning, they would chatter about topics irrelevant to the movie. As they gradually got immersed in the film, they eventually stopped conversing and simply enjoyed the movie in silence.

Feeling relaxed, Myra snuggled into Tony’s familiarly warm and sturdy embrace, one that belonged solely to her.

In a flash, the movie was over. As the couple walked out of the theater, Myra was already fatigued so Tony could only cancel his plans for dinner.

After retrieving his car, he drove her home. Feeling sleepy, Myra yawned but she immediately covered her mouth as that would soil her grace.

“You’re getting significantly more sleep lately, aren’t you?” Tony laughingly quizzed, recalling how he would warily move around in the morning so as to avoid waking Myra up from her sleep.

“I can never get enough of it,” Myra answered with a pout.
