Chapter 199


    Sebastian’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.


    As Sean noticed that, his face took on a ghastly expression.


    He had been having someplicated feelings toward Myra recently. As such, after hearing L’s


    words, he jumped to the conclusion and med Myra for everything, as usual. I’m so used to doing this

    —no matter what happens, I always assume that Myra’s the one who made a mistake. I’ve actually…


    never given her a chance to exin her side of the story; plus, I’ve never really trusted her words at all.


    Instantly, Sean’s expression darkened as he came to this realization.


    As for Myra, she was astounded by Sebastian’s words. Soon after that, she felt a burst of warmth from


    deep inside her heart and it grew inside her.


    Sebastian may look impassive with his pursed-up lips, but I know that this is all just an appearance he


    puts up in front of me. Although he constantly acts as if he dislikes me, he alwayses to my defense


    when necessary. Grandpa used to be the one who stood up for me when he was alive. Ever since he


    passed away, besides Tony, no one else has had such faith in me.


    “Well, there is a way to prove today’s incident,” Sebastianmented, a nonchnt look on his face


    as he crossed his arms behind his back. He shot a look at L, who was currently held in Sean’s


    embrace. L immediately tightened her grip on Sean’s shirt in response. Soon after that, she heard


    Sebastian murmur coldly, “However, I reckon someone might not want the truth toe to light. If


    that’s the case, do you still insist on a fair trial for the woman in your arms, Chase boy?”


    Sebastian had previously referred to Sean as Mr. Chase, but once he changed to addressing thetter


    as Chase boy, he had reduced Sean’s status by a few generations.


    At this point, Sean’s expression turned ugly as he heard the way Sebastian addressed him.


    Meanwhile, L remained silent as she trembled in Sean’s arms.


    It finally dawned on Sean that things might not be as he thought but frankly, he would rather be


    unaware of it. After a short pause, he turned around without another word and exited the building with


    L in his arms.


    The skies were clear and soft sunlight shone on the fountain outside the Stark Group, forming a tiny,


    colorful rainbow that was refracted from the water droplets.


    Sean’s expression was impassive as he walked out of the building, and it was as if he was unaffected.


    Despite that, L was rather anxious as she could clearly feel his tight grip on her hands, and she felt


    like her bones would shatter due to his force.


    “Sean…” L raised her head out of his arms as tears streamed down her face. Her tone was rather


    pitiful and full of grievance. “Do you believe Myra’s words? Do you think that I’m the one…” Her


    expression was clearly dejected as she continued, “I had just realized what Old Master Hart was


    implying. He basically wanted to look at the footage of the security camera. I’m not afraid of that but I


    just didn’t want you to go against him. After all, he’s the chairman of the Hart Group and we can’t afford


    to offend him…”


    L gave the impression that she was mainly acting in Sean’s best interests as she held onto his shirt


    tightly. “However, today… It was such a close call and our baby… I nearly lost our child again…”


    As soon as she mentioned this, L’s tears became uncontroble as she aired all her grievances.


    All of a sudden, Sean lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. There was a sh of


    unexinable emotion in his gaze and after some time, he calmly asked, “Earlier on, did you use


    Myra of pursuing me?”


    L met his calm gaze and she couldn’t control her apprehension. She bit hard on her lower lip as she


    looked at him in disbelief. “You… You’d rather trust Myra’s words than mine? Have you forgotten that


    she was the one who caused the death of our unborn child?”


    Besides feeling shocked, L was more saddened by his reaction. As such, she hastily tried to get out


    of his embrace.


    However, Sean remained unmoving. This time, he didn’t try to stop her or appease her feelings, and


    watched on as she stood on her own.


    L’s initial intention was just to put on an act and she didn’t expect Sean to actually let go of her. As


    such, the fear in her heart grew tremendously.


    The reason I came to see Myra was because Kris had mentioned that Myra was pursuing Sean.


    Obviously, I didn’t mention that in front of Myra. However, I was upset about this and wanted her to look


    bad in front of all her staff. This was the best way to ruin her reputation and at the same time show


    Sean her true colors! Despite this, the situation went out of hand and didn’t go ording to n. In


    fact, Myra no longer has any feelings toward Sean, not to mention that Old Master Hart arrived and


    interrupted us.


    All of a sudden, L couldn’t help but to grab hold of Sean’s hand as she asked, “Sean, can you be


    frank with me? You haven’t developed feelings for Myra, have you?”


    Myra and Sean had been married for the past two years and led a life together all this while. Their daily


    interactions for the past two years could potentially lead to him developing feelings toward Myra,


    despite his apparent loathing of her.


    Although L asked the question, she didn’t allow Sean to say a word. She looked at his


    expressionless face and shook her head. “No, no… Don’t answer my question. I know I’m being


    insecure here. I know you love me and soon, our baby will be born. We’ll definitely have a fulfilling and


    happy life as we raise our child together.”


    L looked quite vulnerable right now with her tear-stained face. Coupled with the fact that her makeup


    was all smudged, she was quite a sight at the moment. Sean then thought to himself, I know she came


    to see Myra because she felt quite insecure, which makes any offending words she said to Myra


    understandable. The doctor who spoke to me in his office this morning had mentioned that L is in


    quite a weak state. To top it off, she had a miscarriage once, thus I need to take care of both her


    physical and mental well-being. It’s crucial for a pregnantdy to be well-rested and content. It hurts to


    see her in such a saddened state.


    I realize she’s quite uneasy, especially after the huge fight she had with Mom yesterday. Perhaps


    Mom’s words about what Myra had said angered L to the point of fainting. As such, she must have


    earlier. Moreover, Myra’s currently building up her rtionship with the Hart Family so clearly, they


    would never stand on our side.


    Besides, Myra is not as calm as she portrayed herself to be—she has a scheming side to her.


    Otherwise, how would she be able to win the hearts of everyone in the Hart Family in such a short


    time? Judging by her interaction with Sebastian, Myra must be very close to him. In fact, the sk he


    handed to her had chicken soup in it. Sean knew this because the scent wafted toward him when


    Sebastian handed it to Myra.


    His expression clouded over and he gave a light sigh. Right now, L was in a state of trepidation and


    dejectedness, so he pulled her into his arms and hugged her. “Of course; our baby and us will definitely


    live a fulfilling and happy life together.”


    L has my best interests at heart and she’s carrying my child. On the contrary, Myra is a wicked


    woman and she was closely entangled with Tony even before our divorce. How is it possible for me to


    have feelings for Myra, then? I never had any feelings for her right from the start. Even if I did, it must


    be out of habit only. I’m just used to our married life.


    L wept tears of joy as she murmured, “Sean, I knew it… I know you’re still in love with me…”


    As soon as Sean heard L’s words, a wave of emotion hit him. It was as if there was a deep voice


    deep down trying to override his previous thoughts, but he didn’t quite want to contemte it because


    he was afraid of the consequences. He feared that he would fall into an abyss the moment he figured


    things out.


    “Enough of that, silly girl. I’ll send you back to the hospital and I promise I’lle over tonight. I can


    send you home as well if you don’t want to stay in the hospital. Mom admitted that she acted on


    impulse yesterday, so can you forgive her? After all, she’s already quite old,” Sean exined


    everything to L in a low voice.


    Upon hearing that, L thought to herself, I’m not quite convinced by Sean’s words but I’ll let it go this


    time. I think he must be used to having Myra in his life or he could have had something to discuss with


    her, which is why he went to see her. I know that his exnation is his way of giving me an out.


    Besides, there’s no way I’m going to leave Sean because he’s myst resort.


    “I want to go home.” L meekly nodded her head at Sean as she said, “Yesterday, I was too


    impetuous as well. From now on, I’ll try my best to build up a good rtionship with Mom. Rest


    assured; I won’t put you in a difficult position.”
