Chapter 257
At the time, Tony did not know what those feelings were.
Knowing that she was the granddaughter of Old Master Stark, he unintentionally formed a business
rtionship with Old Master Stark butter found his actions to be too immature. At the same time, his
business overseas was starting to improve. It was the busiest time for him, so he couldn’t get distracted
by some feelings that he was unable to figure out.
He was a smart man, but sometimes, he was still a bit slow-witted.
By the time he figured everything out, Myra was already deeply in love with another man. Soon after
that, the news of her marriage was released.
In that dark night, an emotion flickered across his ck eyes.
For some reason, Myra did not like seeing him with that expression. Leaning across suddenly, she
ced a kiss on his cheek. “Two people who are meant to be will always end up together.”
No matter how tangled up she was with Sean, at the end of the day, she was not meant to be with him.
Meanwhile, she and Tony had been so far away and spent a long time apart from each other, but they
still ended up together. There are just some things that have already been predetermined, she thought.
Certainly, she still did not know how much Tony went through just so they could walk on the same path.
Meanwhile, it was probably the kiss that eased his mood. Grabbing her hand tightly, he asked, “Are you
hungry?”
She felt her stomach. “I wasn’t before, but now that you mention it, I think I am a little hungry.”
“Do you want to eat seafood tonight?”
He knew that she was especially fond of seafood and strong-vored foods. She was the kind of
person who found the food to be nd if it was not spicy.
In contrast, Tony did not like seafood. The food he ate was mostly light and simple. At first, Myra did not
know about this because he always brought her to eat seafood and ordered strong-vored foods. She
assumed that it fit his tastes too. A few times after that, she noticed that he would barely eat anything
and was always busy removing shells for her.
She shook her head. “My body feels a bit heatytely. Why don’t we go home and make some congee
and side dishes?”
A gentle smile shed across his eyes. Squeezing her hand, he replied, “Okay.”
Before she could say anything else, her phone started to ring. Taking a look at it, she was taken aback
to see that it was Estelle, whom she had not heard from in a while, and proceeded to answer right
away.
As soon as she picked up, she heard Estelle wailing over the phone. “Myra! Myra! Are we best
friends?”
“Of course. What happened?” Even though she did not know the situation with Estelle, it seemed like
she was trying to escape from something.
“If we’re best friends, then hurry over to No. 18 Vi on Sun Avenue!”
Estelle spoke very quickly. Myra could even hear a man’s sweet and familiar voice beside her. “Is that
man your target tonight?”
“Ah! Stoping closer to me, Shawn! I made it clear to you that it’s over between us! We can marry
whoever we want. Anything I do is none of your business either! If you’re smart, then let me go at once
or I will report you for kidnapping!”
“Estelle, you’re drunk.”
“Shawn, you monster. What the h*ll are you doing? Whether I’m drunk or not has nothing to do with you
in the first ce. Myra is going to be here soon!”
Looking at the man in front of her with his eyes narrowed sharply, Estelle regretted for the thousandth
time for provoking this demon.
If she had known that the consequence of her provocation was being unable to escape from his hold,
she wouldn’t have seduced him even if she got beaten to death.
“Help me, Myra! Come here quickly. If you don’t save me, I’m going to get killed! Shawn is a
psychopath. He will torture me to death!” Estelle wanted to continue wailing when suddenly, the man in
front of her took her phone away.
“Miss Stark, is Tony beside you?”
Myra was puzzled and answered without thinking, “Yes.”
“Can you hand the phone over to him?”
She immediately handed Tony the phone. “It’s Deputy Mayor Hart.”
At that moment, she had clearly forgotten that Estelle was the one who called her.
Hearing the voice over the phone, Estelle, who had her phone taken away from her, only wanted to cry.
“Give me my phone back, Shawn!”
“Behave yourself!” He held both her hands down with one hand while he held the phone steadily in the
other as he talked to Tony.
Myra looked on nervously at the two men talking to each other on the phone.
In the beginning, Myra did not support the idea of Estelle seducing Shawn. He was not the kind of man
that she had experience with. If Estelle was not sincere, she would only be digging her own grave. At
the time, however, Myra was unable to salvage her own marriage, and she did not think that Estelle
would actually seduce Shawn. Thus, this situation was truly giving her a headache.
Does she not like Shawn? If she really doesn’t like him, then she would’ve called her brother, Charles,
instead. But if she does like him, then why is she trying to escape from him all the time? Myra frowned.
She did not know what Shawn said to Tony over the phone, but Tony only gave him a brief response
before ending the call.
“Should we go over to Shawn’s ce to check things out?” she asked knowing that the address Estelle
reported earlier was Shawn’s ce.
Casting a side nce at her, Tony did not slow down the car and simply said, “We agreed to make
home-cooked food tonight. Is Estelle that important?”
Isn’t she? Myra wondered. Upon seeing the serious look on Tony’s face, she did not blurt that question
out. To Tony, other people’s business was just not important.
“Will things end badly?” She tried to keep it in, but she still couldn’t eventually.
Seeing how uneasy she looked, he let out a sigh. If I don’t make this clear to her, she is going to be
restless tonight.
“Shawn wants to take Estelle back to the Hart Residence and finalize their engagement,” he said.
s, quite frankly, Tony did not think that Shawn would choose to marry that woman.
When he saw that Myra was dumbfounded, he went on, “Don’t you know your friend’s personality?
How much longer is she going to keep fooling around for?”
Myra was not speaking at all now.
Estelle did like to fool around. Whenever she had a target, she would say that he was her final one. It
was obvious, however, that she was still having the time of her life fooling around. Her temper was also
a great concern to Charles. He set up countless blind dates for her in the past, but she blew each one
of them off. They did not expect her to start going on those blind dates as she was told after meeting
Shawn. I… I don’t know how to exin it either.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Between the lines, however, Myra could see that Estelle did have some feelings for Shawn. While Myra
was still deep in thought, Tony was already holding her hand. “Shawn won’t mess around. You don’t
have to worry.”
That made her feel a whole lot more at ease.
Even if she did not quite understand Shawn, she still trusted Tony.
Nevertheless, a man’s definition of not messing around might vary from that of a woman’s.
…
In Shawn’s vi, after he finally let Estelle go, she was already drained of all energy; she did not even
have the strength to lift a finger.
On the other hand, the man who had more than enough to eat and drink was in high spirits.
The thought of the doctor and nurse game she was forced to y with himst night made her face
turn bright red. She only despised herself for not severing his manhood into pieces earlier.
“Get up, Shawn!” She had to gasp for air between each sentence. Nudging the man on top of her, she
muttered, “You’re too heavy.”
He lifted his handsome face and looked straight at her.
The faint rays of moonlight seeped in from outside. As he was looking at her, he narrowed his eyes
slightly. He gave off a piercing gaze except there was also a hint of idleness in them—perhaps due to
beingpletely stuffed. Lowering his head, he ced a kiss on her forehead. “Stop fussing now, love.
Do you want it again?”
