Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 71

“You have no idea how vicious Myra is. She even approached me at that time and warned me to stay away from you!” A dark glimmer flashed in Lyla’s eyes as she wept with her head lowered. “Even if I was in the wrong, she still had no right to take away my child so ruthlessly…” By the end of her sentence, she was crying even more dramatically.

Just then, emotions were violently raging within Sean! Knowing he shouldn’t listen anymore, he closed his eyes and said, “Lyla, did you think I would miss you after you left and that I would still treat you well when you come back? Did you think saying a few words to me would make me give in, and we would carry on as before?”

“Why not?” She looked up, as if she was going to laugh. But in the end, she couldn’t stop the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. “Sean, I have always loved you deeply. There was never a moment where I have forgotten about you, and I refuse to believe that you have. The fact that you still came to the bar for me says it all!”

“This time, you thought wrong.” He loosened his tightly clenched fists. With a chilly voice, he said, “I only took you home out of goodwill. If anything happened to you and you only called me before it happened, I would probably find it disturbing. Besides, we used to be lovers. So, I’m only doing this as a small favor, not because I still have feelings for you. I married Myra because I love her. For the past two years, she was the only one by my side and never left! As for you, you’re nothing to me now!” Immediately after, he stormed out of the villa with a grim expression.

As he was about to reach the door, he stopped in his tracks. “You can stay in this villa for the time being, but I don’t like strangers staying at my place. You have one week to look for a place to stay, then get the hell out of here!”

With a loud bang, the door of the villa was slammed shut.

Watching him leave with no hesitation, Lyla couldn’t help but smash the phone that was on the nightstand as hard as she could.

If he really loved Myra, why has he been out partying and fooling around with different women for the past two years? If he didn’t have feelings for me, then why did he come to the bar and take me home? ‘Find it disturbing’? Sean Chase has never been the kind of man who would feel disturbed! He obviously still loves me, yet he keeps denying it! So, he loves Myra? We’ll see how much you really love that woman!

The corners of her mouth slowly curved up into a malicious smile.

Meanwhile, Sean sped all the way down the hill after leaving Fairhill Villa, during which he called Myra twice. However, both calls were rejected immediately without hesitation.

Remembering what Lyla said, he was in agony!

No! I don’t believe what Lyla said! She left me without hesitation back then. If Myra hadn’t been with me, I would have never been able to get through my breakup and the troubles the business was facing. Yet, she is thinking of coming back now… Does she think I’ll always be at her beck and call?

When a number came into his mind, Sean dialed it without a second thought.

However, it was rejected immediately as well.

At once, his face turned terribly sour. He kept calling the number over and over, until finally, Estelle picked it up irritably. “What do you want?”

“Myra moved out,” Sean suppressed his rage inside and snapped.

Hearing such a tone, Estelle was enraged. “Congratulations, Director Chase. You finally found out.”

As if he didn’t notice her sarcastic remark, he said bluntly, “Tell me where she’s staying now.”

That’s funny. Do you think I’ll tell you? Who do you think you are?” Surely, Estelle wasn’t going to be nice to Sean. “Let me tell you, Sean. Don’t assume that just because Lyla is back, you can go back to her and have your happily ever after. I’m not Myra, and I’m not as soft-hearted as she is. If you dare to hurt her, I will not spare you and that b*tch!” With that, she ended the call.
