Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 620

Meanwhile, Tony was sitting upright in the living room of another villa in Bradfort City. Myra’s head was lowered, and the atmosphere between them was extremely tense. Tony had made a special effort to redecorate the entire living room lately to cheer Myra up. The chic Japanese-style decor was quite different from the previously affordable and luxurious European-style decor, and it gave the house an entirely new look.

There weren’t any servants in the living room. Tony sipped on the tea he held up before his eyes, and its bitter taste instantly overwhelmed his taste buds. On the other hand, Myra, who was lowering her head, had an unfathomable expression on her face. None of them spoke.

“Tony.” Myra looked up with a somber expression on her face.

Tony put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Myra in a daze. There was some distance between them, and this awkward distance seemed to mirror their current situation. A person’s trust could crumble in an instant sometimes.

“Why would you lie to me?” Myra questioned in anguish; she didn’t expect that even Tony would lie to her.

Tony’s mouth curved in a wry smile. He didn’t expect Myra to find out the truth in the end, and he didn’t know how to justify himself. “I really have no idea how I should explain this to you, Myra.” He felt very bad as well. There were too many factors involved, so he didn’t know how to explain this clearly to Myra.

The successive blows sapped Myra’s energy and spirit. How could a pregnant woman stand such a torment? She put her hand on her forehead as her head really hurt. Tony wanted to come up to her worriedly, but she stopped him. “Don’t come over, and don’t get so close to me,” she said angrily.

Tony stood in place as if he was suddenly paralyzed on the spot, and the expression on his face faded bit by bit. This matter dealt a huge blow to Myra, and Tony thought he could keep on hiding it from her. Unfortunately, nothing could be kept absolutely secret in this world. “Myra, forgive me, okay?” He pleaded for Myra’s forgiveness. How he wished he could rush to her side right now!

The loving tenderness that he enjoyed in the past had now become something he could only wish for. Tony regretted his actions, but there was no such thing in the world as a medicine for regret, nor could he correct what he had done wrong. Veins stood out on his hands as he clenched his fists and suppressed his emotions. Right now, he couldn’t do anything that might startle Myra. For the first time ever, he felt that the living room was so spacious that there was such a long distance between him and Myra.

Myra’s voice was neither loud nor low, but it chilled Tony to the bones. “My bottom line is that no cheating is allowed. I don’t care whether you did it out of good intentions or anything else, but I can’t accept your lies.”

Tony wished he could take a step forward, but he stood frozen on the spot since he didn’t dare to do anything that would displease Myra. “Can you listen to my explanation?” He had to explain this. Otherwise, Myra wouldn’t even want to look at him.

“No, I don’t want to. Can you disappear from my sight for the time being?” Myra didn’t want to see Tony right now. At the sight of him, she would recall his lies and Heather’s betrayal. She didn’t expect that the two people closest to her would actually do such a thing to her. She suddenly felt like a failure, and grief was written all over her face.

In the end, Tony stepped beyond the boundary. “Myra.” He rushed up to Myra regardless of everything.

Meanwhile, she immediately stood up. With a glum face and an unwelcoming expression, she dodged Tony’s outstretched hand unnoticeably and distanced herself away from him. “Don’t come over.” Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were full of grief.

Tony couldn’t touch Myra at all, and they seemed so near yet far away from each other. He took a few steps back on his own initiative. It seemed almost impossible to seek Myra’s forgiveness right now, so he kept his emotions under control as he couldn’t act on impulse again.

“I’m tired. I’m going back to my room first,” Myra said while going upstairs. As her eyes swept past Tony’s cheeks, it was clear from the look in her eyes that she didn’t want him to follow her.

Since he knew how to behave, Tony naturally didn’t go after her. He bit his lower lip hard as he had never been so disheartened before.

He looked up at Myra, who took each step with great difficulty as she walked upstairs. He was the one who had caused this situation right now. Why did I do such a thing back then? He blamed himself inwardly. He knew that Myra hated being lied to the most, yet he did precisely that. Furthermore, it wasn’t long ago that Myra learned what Heather had done to her, so this revelation came as a double whammy to her right now. Because of that, Tony really hated himself.

After leaving his home, he pulled open the car door; he needed to drive at this moment to calm himself down. As he sat in the driver’s seat, he felt as though he was cut off from the outside world. Upon hearing the sound of the car engine, he recalled what had happened not long ago.
