Sean glared coldly at that man, which then scared the man stiff. The next second, Sean had already left the bar with the unconscious woman in his arms.
Hurling her into the passenger seat, Sean regretted a little for coming over recklessly. Standing by the car door, he stared fixedly at the woman in front of him for quite a while before he pulled himself together and got into the driver’s seat reluctantly.
After the car had left, the door of a cafe next to the pub was pushed open, thereafter Myra’s pale face appeared.
It’s indeed Sean. I’ve not seen it wrongly from inside just now.
Myra had stayed at the cafe after convincing Estelle to leave. Sure enough, she ended up seeing Sean coming out from the bar while carrying Lyla in an intimate manner. Furthermore, she had not missed how Sean had stared at that woman in the car just now.
Indeed, I should quit this relationship, isn’t it?
Myra was gripping the cafe’s door frame so hard that her knuckles turned white.
After arriving at Fairhill Villa, Sean tossed the woman onto the bed. Thereafter, he pulled out his phone, which had been buzzing non-stop the whole day, from his pocket, and hesitated for a while before returning Eve’s call. However, just as the call was answered, Eve’s furious voice emerged from the other end of the line.
“Sean, why do you always take forever to pick up my call?!”
Exhausted, Sean rubbed his temples, but his voice still softened subconsciously when he talked to Eve. “Mom, I’ve been busy this whole day.”
“Why on earth are you so busy everyday? Don’t you know that Myra has moved out today?!”
Stunned, Sean tightened his grip on the phone subconsciously.
“She… moved out this morning?”
“Don’t assume I don’t know a thing just because you’re hiding it from me! I know the b*tch Lyla is back in Bradfort City. I’m warning you, Sean. If you dare to abandon Myra because of that b*tch, then don’t blame me for turning against you!”
Eve’s tone was fierce and vicious. True enough, women who had established their influence as the main mistress in a wealthy family usually had a firm hand.
Sean frowned while looking at the unconscious woman in front of him and closed his eyes. “Don’t misunderstand me, Mom. There’s nothing between Lyla and I. She had hurt me so deeply back then, so how would I abandon Myra because of her? I’ll be back soon.”
“You better mean it!” Eve was still breathing heavily as a result of anger. “Quickly coax Myra to come home! It’s so quiet at home now. I’m used to having her around me…”
After hanging up the call, Sean stared blankly at his phone as his mind went blank.
In fact, he was rather surprised to hear that Myra had moved out. All this while, he had thought that the woman’s tolerance toward him was infinite. It turns out she can actually get angry too.
“Sean… Sean…” All of a sudden, Sean’s mind was brought back to reality by soft sobs below him.
He lowered his head to see Lyla crying miserably in her dream. “Sean… I’ve missed you so much… Why are you not even sparing me a glance now that I’m back? I love you… I’ve always loved you… It has never changed… ”
For some reason, Sean felt distressed. Are you saying that you’ve always loved me? Then who’s the one who held another man’s hand back then, saying that she would never return to me and that I’m just a poor good-for-nothing?! Lyla Fisher, are you coming back to seduce me now because I’ve returned to power?
Veins popped out on Sean’s temples as he recalled how she ruthlessly insulted him in the past. Clenching his fists tightly, he tried to keep his shirt on.
Just as he took his blazer and was about to leave, someone forcefully hugged his waist from behind all of a sudden while he could smell a familiar fragrance.
Just as Myra said, Sean tried to seek Lyla’s ambience from all kinds of women after Lyla had left. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he indeed had the sweetest and most profound relationship with this woman. And because of that, he had suffered terribly at that time.
But now, Sean’s eyes were filled with coldness as he forcefully pulled away the arms that were tightened around his waist without hesitation and shoved the woman behind him toward the bed.
“Let go!”
bang was heard as Lyla lay on the bed, looking pathetic.
As expected, she had pretended to be drunk. Nevertheless, her face was already wet with tears at this moment.
“Sean… I know you’ve not moved on from me yet… I thought you wouldn’t come, but you still came to take me away…” Weeping and laughing at the same time, Lyla bit her lips as she bawled her eyes out.
Although Sean had ruthlessly shoved her away, she did not give up. Looking pitiful, she once again wrapped her fair, slender arms around the man’s skinny waist.
“Sean… I’ve always loved you. Please believe me… Back then, I was forced to leave you because I had my difficulties… ”
Sean turned around and looked at her eyes, which were still alluring though they were red and swollen.
Once, he had loved this woman at all costs and had even given up the business of the Chase Family because of her, but she had left him unhesitatingly when he needed her the most.
Sean’s expression looked even more frigid as he pulled away her hands once again without hesitation.
“Oh, is it? Why don’t you tell me about your difficulties now then?” Wearing a spurious smile, he stared at the woman who was in a mess.
Lyla’s eyes flickered as she looked even more anguished. “Don’t you believe me? I have my reasons, but I can’t tell you yet… Sean, please trust me… I’m willing to do whatever you ask me to…”
“You’ll do whatever I ask you to?” Sean’s face was as cold as ice.
Seeing Lyla nodding resolutely, he blurted in a frosty and disdainful manner, “I only have one request—don’t ever come find me again, and don’t ever call me!”
“Lyla Fisher, you’re the one who decided to leave at that time, so don’t come back at all! Don’t expect me to relent even if you kneel before me and beg me now! I’ve married Myra and I love her very much. You’re nothing to me now!”
Sean couldn’t hold it back anymore and he spit out every word he had been replaying in his mind for the past two years.
At that moment, he felt relieved, yet that feeling was instantly frozen when he saw the woman actually kneeling before him the next second.
Lyla cried in despair, “I admit that I was wrong to leave you back then. I have no defense now that you want to insult me like this, but can you please don’t say that I’m nothing to you? You have no idea how much it hurts to hear that… I also know that you don’t actually love Myra, because otherwise, would you be involved in scandals with other women these two years?” It seemed as if there was a tinge of hope in Lyla’s eyes. “You merely married Myra to devastate me, didn’t you?”
Myra, you’ve never done me wrong but I’m sorry—we’ve reached this point and I don’t plan to give way anymore. Little by little, I’m going to take back the things that belong to me! Blame yourself for falling for Sean out of all the other men. Furthermore, didn’t you promise me that you won’t marry Sean? You should already be satisfied after holding the title of Mrs. Chase for two years!
