Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 63

She inhaled sharply and instantly checked her body. Upon seeing that she was still wearing the gown that she wore at the banquet, she abruptly felt relieved. My body has not been touched by anyone…

Myra rose from the bed and felt dizzy due to her large movements. Hence, she had to clutch the blanket for some time before she finally managed to exit the room.

When she reached the first floor, most of the guests in the hall had left.

She took out her phone but did not find any messages or missed calls from Sean. So, she directly dialed the number which she had memorized, yet nobody picked up her call even after the phone had been ringing for a long time.

Myra’s hand trembled but she forced herself to make another call.

This time, the phone on the other end of the line was switched off.

When she recalled the woman she saw earlier, she suddenly realized why Sean didn’t fall in love with her.

Lyla was just like a devil in his heart—though he hated her to the bones, she still had a place in his heart. Now that she has returned, what will Sean do?

“Excuse me! I have some large items here! Watch out!”

Myra gazed at the floor with her reddened eyes and blurred vision, and when she finally returned to her senses, a waiter was dashing in her direction while pushing a cart with wooden planks in it.

“Careful!” A low, sensual voice echoed in her ear. The next instant, the stiff Myra was taken into a man’s embrace.

“Director Hart…” When the waiter saw that he nearly hit Tony, his expression changed and he immediately apologized. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I didn’t notice you guys just now!”

Frowning, Tony waved at him and the waiter instantly pushed the cart away.

Myra was taken into an embrace that carried the scent of mint and tobacco, as well as a faint fragrance of red wine. In a daze, she found the embrace slightly familiar, which made her subconsciously mumble, “Sean…”

Tony’s expression fell and his hands that were holding the woman in his arms became incredibly stiff. After a while, he gently pushed her away while saying impassively, “Miss Stark, please try to stand steadily.”

Myra gradually returned to her senses when she was pushed away from the warm embrace but for some reason, she suddenly lost all her strength and slowly slumped onto the floor.

A pair of strong arms reached out in resignation and Tony took her back into his arms.

Her petite nose bumped into his firm chest, which made her nose feel sore. Suddenly, she could no longer hold herself back and grabbed on his firm arms hard, tears rolling uncontrollably from the corner of her eyes. “I’m sorry. It was an accident… I… suddenly couldn’t stand steadily…”

She had never lost her composure in front of others this way before. Unexpectedly, the first time she did so was before Tony.

Tony silently watched as tears involuntarily streamed down her face, the sight of it breaking his heart. After a while, Myra heard a quiet sigh from above her head and the very next moment, she was carried in the man’s arms.

“Please don’t mind me… I…” She wiped away her tears. Although there were not many people on the first floor now, there were still a handful of people who saw him carrying her in his arms.

Tony’s expression was stern and he cast her an impassive glance, but he did not put her down.

His embrace is not the same as Sean’s—it’s not freezing and full of despair, but rather warm instead.
