Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 185

The person who ran over was a female university student. She had a sweet appearance and was

petite. Feeling shy, she bit down on her lower lip with her clean white teeth and stole a glance at the

side. A few students in the dormitory had their fists up in the air to show their support and

encouragement, but it only made her feel more bashful. Clenching her hands, she looked up at Tony

with a blushed face. “Mister, can I ask—”

Before she finished, he took a puff of smoke and walked right past her without any emotion on his face

as though he was not mindful of her at all.

When the girl realized that she was blatantly ignored, she couldn’t help but look at her friends and

chuckle. She turned around and watched Tony’s back as he left. A look of fascination flickered across

her eyes.

Tony took a puff of smoke and still had the same expression on his face.

This maidenhair path led to the front gate of the school which was not too far away now.

As he looked in the direction of the gate, a feminine figure immediately came into his view.

Myra liked to dress in office-lady outfits which consisted of a neat little suit and a pencil skirt. If other

women dress the same way, they would probably look rather stiff. But when Myra dresses this way, it

complements her figure even more, he thought. In his eyes, he only saw Myra. Therefore, anything

other women wore did not look good to him. She had become a beautiful scene outside Bradfort

University just by standing in front of her white sports car. At the side, several male students were

going in and out to steal curious glances at her.

Tony narrowed his eyes. Putting out his cigarette, he carelessly threw it into a trash can and started

walking toward the woman who was looking at him from a distance away.

With a soft smile on her face, Myra took a few steps toward him as he approached her. Since she had

just found out about Hilliville, her heart was still filled with joy. She couldn’t stop herself from going up to

him and wrapping her arms around his thin waist while disregarding the crowd of people that was

passing by the area. Burying her small face in his chest, she said, “Today, Cameron told me he is going

to give me a villa.”

Seeing the delight on her face, he was able to guess what had happened. He was undoubtedly pleased

that she hugged him first and proceeded to pull her waist in toward him. “Did you agree?”

His kiss landed casually on her forehead. Their well-coordinated actions made them look like an old

married couple.

When he felt a bunch of piercing gazes on them, the amusement in his eyes grew deeper. Tightening

his arms around her, he brought the kiss down from her forehead to her lips and only let her go after a

gentle kiss.

Myra felt rather sheepish to kiss in front of so many people, but she was truly beyond happy. She

nudged him twice to get him off, then she grinned. “I agreed! Why would I reject a gift? I let him handle

the paperwork and told him to leave them in my office later.”

Tony chuckled. When he laughed, she could feel his chest move. Her face also started to turn red. She

wanted to lift her head from his embrace, but he continued to press her head into his chest, refusing to

let her go. “Just one villa? That’s petty.”

“Of course, not! He also wanted to give me a billion and five percent of Stark Group’s shares. But I shot

his offer down right away!” She sneered. Shortly after, she thought of the man she owed all of this to

and tightened her arms around his waist. “What do I do, Tony? I feel like I’m going to become a rich

woman very soon.”

As long as Hilliville remained a hot trend, it was only a matter of time before the real estate prices

doubled. She owned forty percent of the property in all of Hilliville. If I sell when Hilliville is at its peak…

By then, don’t say I looked down on five percent of Stark Group’s shares and one billion. If she agreed

to sell Hilliville to the Hart Group, Hart Group would also become a fairly large shareholder.

“Isn’t being a rich woman a good thing?” He raised his eyebrows as he rubbed the top of her head

affectionately.

His actions were natural and tender. From an impartial angle, they were seen by a certain person who

had yet to leave the place.

After that, Tony even leaned down to kiss her clean and delicate ears.

Myra felt immensely blissful and happy under his gentle breath. She nudged him away slightly and

looked straight at him with her big eyes. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll raise the cost since Hilliville’s real estate

is in my hands?” Pondering for a moment, she asked again, “Do you want the real estate that’s under

my name?”

She asked that question in an extremely serious manner.

Seeing the earnest look in her eyes, he felt a giddy feeling in his chest and raised his brow at her. “Will

you give it to me if I want it?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

The smirk on the corner of his lips stiffened slightly. He looked down at her and realized that she was

not joking earlier. In fact, she was even more serious than he was.

Tightening the arm he had around her waist, he suddenly spoke in a dull voice. “Are you really going to

give it to me?”

“What do you think?” She pursed her lips and started to fiddle with the diamond cufflink on his sleeve.

Hearing those words come out of her mouth made it seem like she was brazen and willing to take Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

charge in their relationship. She still felt quite embarrassed, so she did not dare look into his eyes

again.

Nonetheless, she already made her mind up on the drive there.

From the start, she had no desire to own half of Chase Group’s real estate in Hilliville. If the Chase

Family did not have that many troublemakers, she wouldn’t have gotten their real estate that night.

Moreover, if Tony had not made it there in time to save her, that night would have probably been her

eternal nightmare.

She was not a generous person, but she was clear on this. If Tony owned the entire Hilliville, its

popularity would only rise quicker compared to now. He would instill trust in the common people that it

was only a matter of time before that city thrives again, which would, in turn, push people to fight to buy

property there.

She did not know why he wanted to invest in Hilliville, but ultimately, he took a gamble. If he won, she

could bask in glory with him. If he lost, she would not suffer any losses, but he would suffer a terrible

one.

How could a man like him not be deserving of her unconditional love?

Her eyes looked chaotic, and her face was also turning red.

Tony suddenly looked through her chaotic gaze and stared deeply into her eyes.

She always thought he had a deep gaze that could make people lose themselves in them and be

unable to escape.

At this moment, however, she was embarrassed to see her own small reflection in his pupils.

She grasped his cufflinks.

“Why are you looking at me? Besides, I wasn’t the one who made that land. It’s not a loss for me,” she

stated bluntly.

The next moment, she was suddenly lifted in his arms.

The entrance of the school was already filled with people to start with. Their kiss earlier was still

considered a common sight, but this princess-carry attracted the attention of countless people in an

instant.

Her face blushed an even brighter red and made her bury her face in his chest.

“Once I give you the land, I won’t be a rich woman anymore. You’ll have to take care of me in the

future,” she murmured.

His lips curled up. The radiance in his eyes was so bright that it felt like he was carrying all the sunlight

in them. Letting out a low chuckle, he said, “You’re my wife. How can you say that? Once you take on

my last name, you will become a rich woman.”

She was surprised when he put her down in the driver’s seat. It’s unusual that he asked me to drive

here today.

By the time he sat in the passenger seat, she finally pulled herself together and realized that this man

beside her had shown her love in the smoothest way possible.

Her face heated up. Yet, from a different perspective, he did not have any ulterior motives against her.

His love for her was sincere.

She suddenly leaned in front of him and placed a quick peck on his handsome face.

“I love you.”
