Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 580

A minute had passed since the call was answered, but no matter what Heather said, there was no response on Myra’s side. Heather suspected that Myra’s phone was having some issues, so she ended the call. After pondering for a bit, she decided to video-call Myra on Messenger.

Even after a while, however, Myra still did not pick up; perhaps she wasn’t even online. Feeling that something fishy was going on, Heather tried calling Myra’s number again.

This time, no one answered. Heather started to have a bad feeling about this. What is going on? She knitted her brows together. Someone answered the phone earlier, but why is there no answer now?

When she tried to call Myra again, the line was apparently busy. Heather stared at her phone in disbelief. The whole situation was rather unusual; she didn’t think it wasn’t just a simple phone bug anymore. Where on earth is Myra right now?

Heather put down her phone and fell into deep thought. I haven’t seen Myra for a few days. She hasn’t been active on her Instagram Stories lately, nor has she reached out to me. In any case, this silence is quite inconceivable.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Myra, she answered it immediately. On the other end of the call, Myra’s worn-out voice came through. “Heather.”

“Myra, are you unwell?” Heather felt that her voice didn’t sound right at all. Could something have happened?

“I’m doing great. Did you want to talk to me about something?” Her voice sounded extremely stiff. Heather’s intuition was telling her that Myra was hiding something from her.

“Myra, we agreed yesterday to meet up today. Do you have time now?” Heather thought that if she saw Myra, she would be able to figure out a thing or two. Seeing Myra this way, Heather was even more desperate to meet up with her now.

“Heather, something came up at the last minute, so I won’t be able to go out with you.” Myra refused gently. She was so excited about meeting up yesterday, but something suddenly came up today.

Heather was getting a strong feeling that something was wrong. It was apparent that Myra was, indeed, keeping her in the dark. “Are you at home now? What’s so urgent?” Heather wanted to confirm her location so she could go look for her.

“I’m outside. I’ll talk to you later.” Her voice sounded slightly flustered. Right after she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

After getting hung up on, Heather simply stared at her phone miserably. Myra did not tell her where she was, so she couldn’t go look for her. Regardless of what had happened to Myra, Heather wasn’t able to rush to her side. What exactly happened that Myra is keeping me completely out of it?

Thinking about it for a moment, Heather decided to give Tony a call. Perhaps he would know some things she didn’t.

After calling him a few times, however, she still couldn’t reach him. Putting her phone away dejectedly, she wondered, What are those two doing? They’re being so mysterious. Did they get into an argument with each other? Is this situation happening because they are in the middle of working things out at the moment?

Thus, Heather decided to go to Myra’s house. If she guessed right, then they would be at home now.

With that thought in mind, she quickly got moving. She didn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs, but she was especially worried because it had to do with Myra.

By the time she arrived at their new house, it was already noon. She pressed on the doorbell and was greeted by the Hart Family’s helper.

“Miss Langston, what brings you here?” The helper was familiar with Heather. She knew that Myra and Heather were really good friends.

“Where’s Mrs. Hart?” Heather asked while assuming that Myra was probably inside the house.

“Mrs. Hart is not home. May I know why you’re looking for her, Miss Langston?” The helper’s smile was a little unnatural. Hence, Heather tried to get some clues from her expression.

The helper became even more restless under Heather’s gaze. At the same time, Heather also felt like she was being impolite. Looking at the helper with a smile, Heather replied, “It’s nothing major. We agreed to spend the day together today. She should be back soon.”

She did her best to sound relaxed and ease the helper’s nerves. As much as she wanted to go inside to wait for Myra, the helper was standing in the way of the door without any intention of letting her in. It was strange because it wasn’t proper etiquette at all.

“When Mrs. Hart went out, she told me she would be back very late. So…” The helper was looking at Heather with a troubled expression. The tension felt awkward between them now.

Heather laughed it off nonchalantly. “Is that so? I guess she really has forgotten about our plans today.” Since she wasn’t able to enter the house, she might as well find a way out for herself.

Upon leaving the place, she heard the door shut tightly behind her. Turning around to look intently at the villa behind her, she felt like a pair of eyes was watching her from the window on the second floor.

After that, she left the place without looking back. Having been to Myra’s new house, she felt like things were even more suspicious now. Not only had Myra stammered over the phone, the helper was also acting abnormally. Additionally, she wasn’t able to reach Tony on the phone.

At the thought of that, she tried to call Tony once more but only heard a precise automated female voice come through the phone.
