Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 87

“Do you genuinely love me? Do you love me all this while?” Sean suddenly lowered his head and stared fixedly at the lady before him. His voice was soft, but it had many feelings mixed in it. “Were you really forced to leave me against your will back then?! Do you really have no relationship with other men?!”

Sean threw several questions in a row as though he was wagering his life on them.

Lyra clutched the clothes on his chest with tears in her eyes. “I have always loved you and nobody else. I was forced to leave you against my will back then, and I… have no relationship with other men!” she answered. Suppressing the inexplicable misgivings within her with all her might, she turned her head away and bit her lip upon seeing that Sean had noticed her crying. “Actually, I shouldn’t have returned to the country. You married Myra, and your mom likes her and dislikes me… I… I…”

With his warm fingers, Sean wiped the tears on her cheeks, which seemed to scald his heart. Over the years, he had been tossing and turning restlessly without getting a good sleep. He hated Lyla, yet he couldn’t run away from the fact that he still loved this woman…

Now that the cat was out of the bag, what else could he be discontented with?

Sean looked at the charming and teary little face before him as the longing he had at his young age was fulfilled at last. Lyla is the woman I truly love! She suffered a lot as well back then; not only was she forced by my mom to leave Bratfort City, but she also lost our baby…

“Don’t leave again…” He suddenly planted a tender kiss on her face before taking her into his arms. Then, he pleaded in a husky voice, “Don’t leave me again, Lyla.”

At this moment, Lyla’s mouth finally curved in a triumphant smile. I just know that Sean can’t escape from my grasp, be it two years ago and two years later! With this thought in mind, the pent-up anger that she had harbored for two years was vented at last.

Meanwhile, the four men had been drinking their coffee calmly nearby.

Elliot truly felt very sorry for Myra after watching the scenes unfold. He sighed inwardly while thinking to himself, This is so unexpected. Myra looks like a smart and capable woman in the workplace, but she is often thrown into unfavorable situations in her marriage. Not only that, but she even ends up having her husband stolen by another woman.

He sneaked a look at Tony, who had been drinking coffee with a totally unperturbed expression from start to finish. Tony did take a glance back when things were starting to heat up, but honestly, he looked as if he didn’t care about the woman at all.

Just then, Tony’s coffee cup suddenly fell onto the saucer with a clatter, causing coffee to splash out and splatter onto Elliot’s cuff by accident. Elliot’s expression changed subtly; he immediately stopped disguising his furtive glance and looked grovelingly at Tony. “Tony, shall we leave now that we’ve finished drinking our coffee?”

“Uh-huh,” Tony stood up and uttered before stepping outside right away.

When Elliot finally came to his senses, he looked at the couple, who were still locked in a happy embrace by the window, but there was no longer any sign of Tony at the door. “Wait a minute… Could Tony have gone chasing after women? Could the woman be… Myra?”

Myra knew that she wasn’t fit for driving in her current state. After leaving the cafe, she walked a distance ahead until she could no longer see the cafe; only then did she stretch out her hand and wave to the taxis on the street with a vacant expression.

She felt as though she had just had a nightmare, in which she was finally frank with Sean and quickly ended this marriage.

Soon, a silver-gray sports car quietly drove up to her.

The silver-gray color looks familiar. I suppose this car probably belongs to someone I know, thought Myra to herself. After closing her eyes, she clenched the fists at her sides, bent down, and got into the car.
