Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 302

There was only one thing on her mind—Sasha mentioned that Tony did not deliberately allow her to get

her hands on the video, which caused a conflicted expression to appear in Myra’s eyes.

…

On that night, it was only at around 2:00 AM that Tony returned when Myra was sound asleep.

However, she opened her eyes sleepily after feeling the other side of the bed slightly sinking. Even

though she had waited for him for a short while, she ended up dozing off until he finished his shower

and got into the bed.

With fresh water droplets on his body, he found that he had woken her up and pulled her into his

embrace. Then, he spoke in a low voice, “I’m sorry I woke you up.”

Since Myra had been sleeping a lot for the night, she was no longer tired after seeing that Tony was

back. She opened her eyes and looked at him. “How’s the apartment?”

He kissed her forehead. “Nothing much. It’s just a normal burglar who broke into your apartment to

steal some stuff. He stole a few access cards from somewhere and pretended to be one of the

residents there. I’ve changed the locks for you and asked people to clean it up. I’ve also reported this

incident to the police and they will handle this case from now onward. You don’t have to worry.”

“Okay…” Myra was relieved to hear that, but her eyes squinted slightly.

Tony patted her back and asked nonchalantly, “Do you have any important documents like documents

for the shares or the assets you own in the apartment?

“Initially, yes. But, I’ve already handed it to Mr. Engelhard to take care of them for me,” she replied, but

her eyes were still narrowed. Since he had said it was an ordinary burglar, she did not worry much

about it. The only valuable items in her apartment were jewellery and accessories, but she didn’t like

them, so there weren’t a lot of them in the apartment. She just regarded losing those valuable items as

a means to cancel her misfortunes.

However, she did not see that his eyes were curved into a handsome smile after he heaved a sigh of

relief. Pinching her face, he said, “You are pretty generous to place all your valuable items with Mr.

Engelhard.”

“He treats me like I’m his granddaughter. I trust him.” When Tony pinched Myra’s face, she opened her

eyes and spoke to him seriously.

“Alright, alright.” Tony nodded profusely. As far as he was aware, he found out that Mr. Engelhard did

not have any grandchildren and genuinely cared for Myra. Hence, Tony just turned a blind eye on the

matter.

However, he did not tell her that from the surveillance footage, the burglar obviously had the keys to

her apartment and no one knew where that man came from.

Tony quietly suppressed his emotions and tightly grabbed her hand. As he arched his eyebrows, he

suddenly looked at Myra. “A while ago I didn’t take much notice of you, but now that I look at you, it

seems that your cheeks have become chubbier.”

To a woman, such words definitely would raise an alert.

Myra immediately sat up from the bed. Her action had shocked Tony so much that he quickly got up

and pressed her down. “Be careful.”

“No worries.” She stared into his eyes even though her head was slightly lowered. Then, she looked up

at the man in front of her. “What about this? I fell asleep earlier, so my cheeks were squished together.

Now, I look less chubby, don’t I?”

Myra knew that her face looked best from that angle, but she was unsure how she looked to him from

his angle since he was taller than her. At that instant, she felt slightly depressed that Tony had recently

pampered her so much that she felt her clothes becoming tighter.

Tony froze before smiling at her. He pinched her serious face in amusement again. “It’s fine even if you

gained some weight. You will still be as pretty as before.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The words ‘gained some weight’ had triggered her nerves. She quickly got up from bed and walked to

the full length mirror in the bedroom.

Her reflection in the mirror still looked like someone slender. Even though she was in her pajamas, it

was obvious that the word ‘fat’ had nothing to do with her. However, it was undeniable that she had

gained some weight. The more she looked at her reflection, the more she thought that she was slightly

chubby.

Tony looked at her resentful expression in speechlessness. Unable to help himself, he gently laughed

and walked over to hug her. In the mirror, his reflection had also hugged her and he placed his chin on

her head, revealing a tint of laziness on his handsome face. “You are now pregnant, so it’s normal to

gain some weight. If you don’t gain some weight, Mr. Engelhard is probably going to blame me.”

When he was helping Myra sort out the issues earlier, Mr. Engelhard had called him and asked about a

few matters. Before hanging up, he reminded Tony again to take good care of her.

Upon hearing Tony’s words, she remembered that during the later stages of pregnancy, women would

become fat and some could become ugly. With a resentful expression on her face, she looked at the

man in front of her. “It’s common that men cheat on their pregnant wives.”

With that, she remembered Cameron and felt a wave of disgust within her.

Tony raised his eyebrows. “Do you think I’m someone like this?” If I wanted some other women, I

wouldn’t have clung to Myra so tightly at my current age.

Myra had deliberately said that. After hearing his reply, she pinched her own waist again. Compared to

her previous figure, there was more flesh on her waist, so she gently snorted, “I’ve already lost my

figure. If you dare to cheat on me, I will go to the Hart Residence and complain to Old Master Hart!”

No matter what, there was still someone supporting her back at the Hart Residence.

Nevertheless, she knew that Tony would not do such a thing to her.

Tony’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He gravely turned Myra’s head to face him and kissed her fiercely

with a hint of punishment. He bit on her lips heavily and started to suck at her sweet flavor. It was only

when both her face and ears had turned red that he released her. Right after that, he swept her off her

feet and said, “Apart from you, I have no interest in other women.”

With that, he kissed her cheeks. Seeing the way she shyly lay on his chest, he felt a sense of

satisfaction and spoke gently, “It’s getting late now. Let’s go to bed.”

After a pause, Myra replied, “Okay.” She found a comfortable position on the bed and fell asleep again.

She had spent the entire weekend resting at home.

During that period, both Sebastian and Lisa went to visit her and they also brought the soup made by

the cooks in the Hart Residence.

After resting for two days, Myra still went to the Stark Group on Monday.

Firstly, she was worried about the company. Apart from that, if she was away, she was worried that

Cameron and Kris could destroy the currently profitable business. Thinking that she would not work too

hard, it should be fine if she took care of herself.

Tony sent her to the company entrance.

It was obvious that the media had already announced her pregnancy—when she exited the car, many

employees looked at her multiple times as they whispered among themselves.

Myra did not care about this and bade farewell to Tony before walking directly into the company.

When she arrived at the elevator, everyone seemed to be aware of her physical condition. During the

peak hours in the morning, the elevator usually would be packed with many people until it was difficult

to breathe. However, after Myra had entered, everyone stood outside in unison to wait for the next

elevator.

Kris, however, walked in as usual.

After the door was closed, she sarcastically looked at Myra. “Congrats, sis. Your position has changed

overnight.”

Myra did not reply to her. In fact, she did not even look at Kris. At this moment, her head was lowered

as she was fumbling with a book about pregnancy in her bag. Philip had sent the book to her over the

weekend, saying that she would not have known what to take note of during her pregnancy since it’s

her first time. That was the reason why he sent a book dedicated to pregnancy to her.
