Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 309

Her sudden question was not to demand his reason for doing those actions to her, nor was she judging

the despicable means he had used.

Looking at the honesty in Myra’s eyes, the love in Tony’s eyes was almost overflowing. He caressed

her head as he replied, “I have never thought of hurting you. Trust me.”

With a pause, there was a slight exasperation in his tone. “I can’t control the process, though. Myra, all

you loved was Sean back then. I was so jealous that I was going insane and I just wanted to be with

you as soon as possible.”

Myra was both stubborn and strong. Even though the truth was staring at her in the face, she

stubbornly believed that Sean could understand her love toward him. However, Tony could not bear to

allow her to continue waiting with such stubbornness.

She felt slightly embarrassed when he mentioned that all she loved was Sean. It was true that she had

rejected all of Tony’s advances back then. At that moment, she was already thinking about leaving

Sean, but she could not find any appropriate timing to do so. Now that she thought about it, Tony had

been guiding her all the way until her outburst.

Feeling both annoyed and amused at the same time, Myra buried her head in his chest again after

seeing the sincerity on his face. Then, her muffled voice rang. “Tony, I really hate it when people lay

traps for me to walk into and use their carefully calculated tactics on me.”

Tony’s body stiffened. His arms that were wrapped around Myra slowly loosened, but she insisted on

placing his arms back to her waist. In that instant, his voice turned huskier. “Myra, I—”

“Hush,” she interrupted as she merely took deep breaths of his scent.

“Don’t speak and listen to me.” She released his hands and wrapped her arms around his waist instead

as she spoke in a low voice. “I have kind of guessed what has happened. The video that Gemma

released was taken by Sasha from the hotel after you implicitly agreed to it, right? You must also be Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

involved in the theft of confidential information regarding the Hilliville project. As for the pictures that

were taken of us being intimate with each other, I bet you gave them to Lyla yourself.”

With that, Myra pinched his waist with a great force, but her own fingers had turned numb instead.

Nevertheless, she insisted on pinching him until he grabbed her hand. Then, she continued to speak

sullenly, “At that time, you were also the one who bought half of Hilliville, didn’t you? I bet you have

some secret transaction with Lyla and you might have even done something private without her

knowledge. You wanted Sean to choose between me and the Chase Group.”

Back then, Tony had already guessed that Sean would abandon her without a second thought to

stabilize the Chase Group. Hence, Tony merely asked Captain Fowler to take care of Myra. However,

something went wrong in the process and she was thrown behind bars instead. After a while, he

managed to find out where she was and brought her to leave the place.

That day, Myra went to the Chase Residence to fulfill her promise to Eve. When Tony sent her there, he

asked whether she would hate him. Myra was dumbfounded by his question at that time, but after

experiencing everything after that, she finally understood why he had asked her that.

She took a deep breath while Tony continued to hug her tightly as he spoke in a low voice above her

head, “If you are angry with me…”

His voice was low and slow with a tinge of worry in it. Myra had never heard him speaking to anyone in

that tone. He had always been powerful and dominant with the natural vibe of a leader who could

create thunderstorms in the business world anytime he wanted.

Thinking back of what Tony had done to her, she understood that there was no conspiracy theory

involved.

Back then, she had nothing for him to be desperate about. After they became a couple, he would

suppress his dominant temper because she was unhappy about it and he would always shower her

with more love. No matter what had happened, he would always stand beside her.

Myra tightened her hold on his arms that were wrapped around her waist. “Yes, I’m angry with you!” It

would have been fake to say that she was not angry at all. After all, she felt as though she had been

tricked.

“However, after thinking about it, I feel that I’m not that angry toward you.” She deliberately paused

before she said her words out loud. When she felt his body stiffen, she was slightly amused. After all, I

should give him some kind of punishment and give myself a reward.

When Tony heard the later part of her sentence, his body became even stiffer as he was incredulous

that Myra would let him off the hook just like that.

His breathing was slightly stifled, but he stretched out with his hand and raised her chin. Unable to help

himself, he kissed her passionately for a long time before taking heavy breaths. Placing his forehead

against hers, he asked gently, “Are you sure you’re not angry with me?”

A faint blush appeared on Myra’s cheeks after being passionately kissed by Tony. She wanted to turn

away, but he did not allow her to do so. Hence, she could only look into his eyes helplessly. “If I knew

the truth back then, I might be furious, but now…”

She looked at his hand lifting her chin. The little diamond ring on his slender hand had a glimmer to it.

Then, she stretched out with her hand to grab his. “I’m calmer when I know this at this point in time.

Tony, I know that you didn’t mean to make me upset even though you did all those things. Of course, I

was miserable at that moment, but the time for me to be heartbroken became shorter if I had left

earlier. I understand your intentions and your… love. When I came to know all these things earlier, I

was slightly upset, but I’ve thought it through. It’s no use to be obsessed with the past. As long as I

know you will treat me well in the future, it’s enough.”

Myra tiptoed and kissed Tony’s lips. Looking into his eyes, she added gently, “If we had a fight over

this, it would fall exactly to the opponent’s plan, wouldn’t it?” That would be worse.

Tony carefully pulled Myra into his hug. He gently kissed her forehead with his thin lips before he

hugged her even tighter. “Indeed, I was involved in all those incidents and I don’t deny my selfishness.

Myra, I will not do that to you in the future. No matter what happens, no matter how serious it is, I will

always tell you. Alright?”

He subconsciously spoke his final sentence in a slow manner with a great amount of gentleness.

Myra felt a surge of warmth flowing through her heart. With her arms still wrapped around his neck, she

nodded.

Suddenly, she spoke in a low voice, “I have a present for your birthday, but I haven’t shown it to you

yet…”

Too many incidents had happened that day. Later that night, Tony went to her apartment to deal with

the burglary and it was quite late when he returned. Apart from that, she found out that she was

pregnant that night, so she gave up on the present.

After thinking about it, Myra felt that she still had to let him know.

Upon hearing her words, Tony arched his eyebrows.

He did not forget about the present she mentioned. However, if her present was the box in her room,

he had obviously looked through it. He thought that the reason why she did not reveal it was because

she was shy.

There was a smile on his face as he arched his eyebrow again. “You forgot to give it to me.”

Myra cleared her throat as her face blushed. “It’s not for you to wear anyway.”
