Myra glanced at Tony. “I wasn’t expecting a visit from him today either. I didn’t want to talk to him at first, but he kept holding me back. He even gave me that invitation and said some strange things.”
Finding out that she was the woman Tony had a crush on probably made her feel better. She did not want him to get mad again because of Sean nor did she want their relationship to go through more turbulence because of Sean. It was just not worth it.
When she mentioned the invitation, Tony looked sideways at the white pamphlet that had fallen on the carpet in the car and a cold gaze flashed across his eyes.
Even though he did not make a sound, she could feel his desolation. Biting her lip, she reached out and interlocked her fingers with his unoccupied right hand. When he did not push her away, her face turned slightly red and she murmured, “I admit I used to like him.”
Her fingers suddenly started to hurt from the increasing pressure he was clenching her hand with.
Grimacing in pain, she looked at the dark expression on his face and murmured, “Your moods are so erratic. Just a second ago, you were so gentle toward me and talking about having a crush on me, but now you’re being so fierce.”
He immediately turned to look at her with a serious gaze. “Do you want me to turn back right now and send you to the Chase Residence? Since they haven’t had the wedding yet, you still have time to snatch him back.”
As she listened to his words that were cold yet filled with jealousy, she felt like laughing for some reason. In the end, she let out a chuckle and turned to stare at the side of his face. “You’re already getting jealous before I even finished talking.”
His lips were pressed into a tight, straight line.
She tugged his hand then suddenly lifted it up and placed a kiss on his fingers. Her face blushed slightly, and she subconsciously tucked a loose strand of hair at the side of her face behind her ear. He noticed that her ears were also red now and heard her sigh softly. “I used to like him, but it’s all in the past now. I don’t like him anymore.” She hesitated briefly. Her face grew red and her bright eyes filled with bashfulness. Glancing over at him, she suddenly took a deep breath and said in a small voice, “I like you now.”
All of a sudden, the car screeched to a stop.
When the car stopped abruptly, she was also flung forward. By the time she sat back in her seat, she heard the sound of a seatbelt being unbuckled and felt herself being spun before landing on top of his lap.
She still hadn’t looked up yet when her lips were forcefully seized by the man in front of her. His kiss was passionate and ruthless. This time, he did not give her a second to breathe.
His series of actions left her rather dumbfounded. Although it was night now, the windshield at the front of the car was not covered, and they were also in the middle of the street.
She hated that side of him that was shameless, but she still did not dare to do anything.
There were already people outside looking at them and whispering to each other.
Gritting her teeth, she exhorted by his ear, “Don’t… Tony, can we go home?”
His eyes grew dark. Lifting his head, he narrowed his eyes when he saw that her cheeks, neck, and even ears had turned bright red.
Her face turned even redder. “Let’s go home… You can do anything you want when we’re home.” Just not here.
Tony looked straight at her. His intense gaze was like a big net that encased her.
A while later, just as she was starting to assume that he would not agree to it, he let her go. His eyes were still dark. He lowered his head abruptly and bit her lip before finally allowing her to return to the passenger seat.
With a reddened face, she scrambled back to her seat and urged him to start the car right away.
It was deep in the night now. The scent of autumn was slowly approaching.
Myra opened the window and enjoyed the cool night breeze as it blew in.
Since the windows were open, Tony pulled out a cigarette to smoke. When he was about to light it, a thought suddenly occurred to him and he kept the cigarette back inside. In a low voice, he said, “I don’t like to see you and that fellow standing together.”
Her head was close to the window, but she was able to hear every word he said. The anger she felt earlier was now gone. She mumbled sweetly, “It’s not like I wanted to stand with him.”
With a calm expression, he said, “You know what I mean, Myra.”
He did not have the power to change the feelings she once had for Sean during those six years, but from this point, she was only his.
When she turned her head back around, she saw the calm expression on his face, then thought for a moment and nodded helplessly. “Okay. The next time I see him, I’ll run in the opposite direction. If he catches me, I’ll call the police right away. Is that good enough?”
Glancing over at her and seeing the playful look in her eyes, he had a feeling that she had him in the palm of her hand. His eyes narrowed. Stepping on the gas pedal, he quickly returned to her apartment and drove straight into the basement parking lot.
He parked at a random spot and stopped the car. Just then, Myra suddenly grew serious and grabbed his hand that was reaching for the door. “Wait.”
Raising his eyebrows, he followed her line of vision to the front of the elevator in front of them.
A woman was waiting over there. She was wearing a short, light green, tight-fitting dress and carrying a shoulder bag in the same color palette. Judging by her silhouette, he thought she looked quite similar to Myra.
Once the elevator doors opened, the woman walked in. As soon as she turned around, Myra’s face grew even more serious.
It’s Kris.
“Aren’t we getting down?” Tony turned back around to look at her.
The only reason Kris is here is to see me, but if we get out of the car now… “Why don’t we wait for a bit? Let’s wait in the car for a bit before getting down.” She was looking at him with an unusual gaze.
Even though she could not hide it for much longer, she still did not want the Stark Family to find out about her relationship with Tony at the moment.
