Meanwhile, Myra—who was on the other side of the globe—still would not let Heather go; she wanted to know about the relationship between Heather and Matthias. Even Tony was speechless as Myra was still so concerned about other matters while they were on a honeymoon.
“Since when did you start to like gossiping?” After Tony snatched Myra’s phone away, she looked up at him.
She was met with a naked body with a muscular chest and solid abs. He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, and he sure looked inviting as male hormones emanated off his body.
“There must be something going on between Heather and Matthias.” She immediately shifted her gaze away before she started to drool because of how hot he looked.
“Do you remember our promise?” he asked with a serious face. With a pair of shades covering his eyes, she could not tell whether he was mad or joking.
“Tony, are you unhappy?” At once, she knew what she did wrong before he had to point it out.
“I just hope that someone will keep their promise.” He looked at her from above.
Myra was wearing an azure-colored swimming suit which complimented her bodyline well. The tiny bump on her stomach did not affect her beauty. After all, she did not seem like a pregnant woman, and most people would probably think that it was just body fat.
Droplets of water latched onto Myra’s fair skin and swung off her when she moved. He could not seem to take his eyes off her. He had already restricted her from wearing any swimsuit that was too revealing, but even though she was wearing a swimming suit with the most basic design, she was still so attractive.
Obviously, he didn’t like others looking at Myra’s body as it was his to admire, not to mention those who had bad motives.
At this moment, she gave him puppy eyes, hoping to get his forgiveness, but he stayed unfazed.
“I promise I will not use my phone anymore. I’ll keep my eyes on you,” she said affirmatively. How could he be so petty?
“Your phone is confiscated. You can use the camera to take pictures.” He smiled victoriously as he waited for her to comply.
Rolling her eyes, she admitted defeat as she could only do as he said.
“Don’t you like the beach?” he asked as he noticed how she wasn’t the most excited.
“I don’t dare to move too much carrying a baby inside me.” There was quite a crowd at the beach and some people were running around. It was fair that she was concerned about the baby in her belly.
“Come with me. I’ll protect you and our baby.” Pulling her up, he wanted to bring her close to the waters so they could have fun.
Laughter could be heard around the beach. From time to time, there would be couples who passed by, and there were always people who were playing beach ball on the beach.
It was extra lively here. Among the crowd, Myra was the most attractive when she smiled. At least that was what Tony thought as he looked at her with lovelorn eyes. Catching waves of the ocean, she was having a good time.
Meanwhile, he made sure to always stay close enough such that he could protect her from any potential danger. With him by her side, she felt very reassured and safe.
As night came, Myra and Tony strolled along the beach hand-in-hand as the wind blew. They had already changed out of their swimsuits and were walking barefoot, feeling the sand between their toes.
“Are you cold?” he asked as he gently rubbed her shoulder, feeling it was slightly chilled.
“I’m not. I like the wind.” She smiled eye to eye. Even though the sea breeze had a salty smell to it, she still liked it.
“When we retire, we’ll get a house by the beach so we can spend the rest of our lives there,” he suggested.
“Away from the world?” The beachside here was a little too lively for retirement plans; a quieter place would be more suitable.
“What about we buy our own island?” Raising a brow, he suggested. Since she liked the beach so much, he might as well buy her an island.
At once, she gave him a side-eye. With her head hung low, she looked at the sand beneath her feet. The remnants of sunset gave the beach a pretty shade of color. At this moment, the sun seemed to be descending into the sea at a distance away.
“Bradfort City is in the Northern Hemisphere, while we’re now in the Southern Hemisphere. Technically speaking, Bradfort City is right under our feet.” She smiled coyly as she leaned into his embrace.
“Yes, Bradfort City is under our feet right now.” Holding onto her, he brought her to a big rock with a smooth surface before sitting on it as they admired the last light of the day.
“I heard from Leo that Hart Group has encountered a strong competitor lately, but you’re not at Hart Group now…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Tony cut her off. “Hart Group has been able to grow and improve with competition. Having a competitor is not a bad thing.” In fact, he was not bothered by Locke Group’s challenges at all. Nonetheless, he made a mental note to warn Leo to keep some things secret after going back.
Tony remembered telling Leo not to tell anyone about this matter, so it was weird as to why he would tell that to Myra. As his curiosity was piqued, he turned toward her to see that she had a mischievous look in her eyes.
“Leo told you that?” He put on a serious look as he asked.
She was stumped for a while, but the pause made him understand immediately.
“You were trying to trick me into telling you myself.” Looking right at her, he was in disbelief that she had just tricked him.
With a smile, she replied, “I overheard a little when you were having a video call with Leo last night.” She initially did not want to bring this up, but she noticed him looking at his phone earlier. Hence, she assumed that it must be related to Hart Group.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing too serious. It doesn’t affect our honeymoon.” He had wanted to keep it a secret from her, but she still found out in the end. It seemed like it was impossible to hide things from her.
“We can postpone our honeymoon, or next year—”
Once again, he cut her off by saying, “We’ve already planned it all out and we’ll complete it. I don’t want to abandon our plans midway. Our trip has just begun, and I don’t want to turn back now.”
Without hesitation, she looked right at him. Having been with him for so long, she knew that it wasn’t something small this time. If it was, he would have already dealt with it before the honeymoon.
Since it had not been dealt with yet, it meant that it wasn’t something insignificant. In other words, Hart Group was facing a problem, yet Tony was not at the company. Myra truly didn’t want him to be negligent of his work because of her. However, she could not change his thoughts once he had made a decision.
“Stop worrying. I don’t want to leave any regrets on our honeymoon trip. Moreover, I wish for us to just enjoy ourselves without worrying about anything.” He hoped that she would understand his intentions. Sometimes, Myra was just so selfless that Tony just wanted her to be able to enjoy life.
“Now that we’re so far away from Bradfort City, we’re far from everything going on there as well. At this moment, it’s just you and me on a spot on Earth.” He looked at her lovingly as he attempted to free her mind from worries. After all, they would not be able to truly enjoy themselves if they were to worry about problems back home, and they would be regretful about this trip in the future.
“If things at Hart Group are really urgent, I can’t just ignore it and enjoy myself.” She was also a persistent person, so the both of them stood their own ground.
“Things are under control so far. If it goes south, I will go back to Bradfort City immediately. Trust me. I will be responsible to both Hart Group and you.” He understood why she was worried and he mentally cursed Locke Group for not picking a better time. Of all time, they had to pick the time that he was on a honeymoon trip. Now he was not able to thoroughly enjoy himself.
At this moment, she no longer seemed as headstrong even though she did not say a word. Hence, he continued, “Tony-Myra Chopper is on standby round the clock.” It sounded like he was trying to crack a joke despite his serious look.
That earned him a smile from Myra. It was a name that he had given his helicopter that was derived from their names.
“What is our next destination?” Standing up, she turned back to look at Tony. The last rays of light from the sunset were cast on her face, making her look picturesque.
“Brazil.” Satisfied with her reaction, he replied with a smile. After tonight, they were headed to Brazil.
“I want to go to Rio de Janeiro!” she exclaimed excitedly.
“Yeah, we can try out the local barbecue.” With a smile, he added, “We can experience the tropical weather.”
They were getting more and more excited as they discussed their plans for tomorrow and where they would be going as if the fight earlier did not take place.
She did not want to debate about it with him any longer as she knew that he was someone who knew what he was doing. Moreover, he would not change what had already been decided.
If she were to continue arguing with him, she would be defying his efforts. Hence, she thought that it was wiser to forget about it and enjoy themselves on the honeymoon trip.
“Tony, have you ever thought that you would become a businessman when you were little?” She randomly started another conversation with him. They always had something to chat about.
“When I was young, I wanted to be an astronaut.” He put on a serious face when he said that, but it earned him a laugh from Myra.
“An astronaut.” She guffawed as she didn’t have to hold back whenever she was with him.
“What about you?” Tony didn’t know why she was laughing and stared at her puzzledly. He didn’t think it was that hilarious.
“I wanted to be a doctor.” She reminisced how she once proudly announced her ambition in front of the whole class when she was young.
“Doctor?” he repeated with a smile.
“Yes. I wanted to save patients and make sure they were healthy.” She still remembered what she thought when she was little. She was so young and naive back then.
“Not bad. How thoughtful of you to want to save the world.” He commended her. They learned how to admire each other as they maintained a healthy relationship.
“Did you dream of being an astronaut to dominate the universe?” she asked as a sweet smile graced her lips.
“No. I just thought astronauts were cool.” He liked the astronaut’s uniform a lot. However, he was obviously unable to follow his dreams as he grew up in a family that ran businesses.
