Fearing that they were going to be seen by Sebastian, Myra didn’t dare to make a sound or raise her head. Her left hand went down as she tried to quietly remove Tony’s restless hand.
Instead, his hand grabbed hers.
Tony held a mug in his left hand as he drank his water in a leisurely manner, but his right hand gripped Myra’s left hand tightly, and he suddenly placed it on his own thigh.
For a moment, Myra froze. Beneath her hand, the only thing separating her from the taut lines of his muscles was his pants.
His body heat was being passed to her hand through the thin fabric of his pants, and she was blushing all the way to her neck. She looked up and her breath skipped as she shot Tony a look. However, Sebastian, who was opposite from her, saw this and frowned. He looked at her, feeling displeased. “Why are you blushing?”
Myra’s heart leaped. Upon catching sight of the way the man next to her was trying not to smile, her entire body seemed to heat up. Under the table, Tony even squeezed her hand on purpose and was forcing it toward a certain area.
“I-I’m a little thirsty!” Myra suddenly stood up from her chair, trembling slightly.
She was ashamed and annoyed, so she turned around and ran toward the kitchen without glancing at Tony or Sebastian.
Behind her, Tony calmly lifted the hand that was underneath the table as he picked up his cutleries to take a piece of fish.
Sebastian looked suspiciously at him. “Did you do something to that girl?”
Tony raised his eyebrows. “What did I do to her?”
“Who knows what you did to her?!” Sebastian frowned and grunted coldly. “I’ll have you know that I wasn’t compromising just now. I just… didn’t want to quarrel with you. It will make things difficult for Myra to be the middleman!”
“It’s hard to believe that you’re already thinking about her wellbeing.” Tony let loose a faint snort.
“You!” Sebastian’s face flushed red.
He spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing! He immediately glared at the fish his grandson was eating. “Did I say that you can eat the fish? I was the one that brought this fish over!”
“Oh, but Myra was the one who cooked it,” Tony answered lightly.
“That still doesn’t have anything to do with you!” Sebastian snapped.
As Sebastian watched, Tony slowly placed another piece of fish onto his plate. “Without me, would Myra be around to cook this fish for you?” He cast his grandfather a sideways glance.
Sebastian was certain that he saw a sense of contempt in that one glance!
He began to seethe with rage.
“Don’t think I don’t know that your intentions toward her and Meow aren’t that simple! Tony Hart, you better not let me find out that you’re the reason her marriage was ruined. Otherwise, you’ll have to explain it to her yourself!”
Sebastian wasn’t a foolish person.
After thinking about it for so long, he still found that the situation wasn’t that simple.
How could Tony have fallen in love with her so quickly? He even bought a unit at Hilliville for her! A large part of Hilliville belongs to the Chase Group. Isn’t Myra’s ex-husband that scoundrel from the Chase Family? This only made Sebastian’s thoughts wander even further.
He might not fully understand Myra’s character now, but he knew that she was definitely not the kind of woman who would actively pursue other men.
Not to mention, his heartless grandson had suddenly gotten a Samoyed several years ago, and he even named it ‘Meow’…
All the signs show that Tony must have done something bad!
Tony, however, simply raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Sebastian pursed his lips, then threw down his cutleries in front of him. “I’m not eating anymore. Looking at a certain someone has made me lose my appetite!”
Myra finally managed to calm herself down in the kitchen. When she came out, she saw Tony calmly eating fish, while Sebastian had his head turned away. He sat on the chair looking as if someone owed him money.
“Come here!”
When he saw Myra coming out of the kitchen, Sebastian pointed at her with a bitter look on his face.
Myra walked over rather nervously.
Sebastian said bleakly, “Next month, this brat is turning thirty-five, so his grandma is going to hold a banquet for him. You’ll go with him.”
Myra’s heart wavered as she looked into Sebastian’s eyes, but the old man had already turned away. “When the time comes, watch yourself. Don’t create trouble for us.”
Myra looked at Tony in a daze. With this sentence, it was obvious that Sebastian had approved of her, even though he still appeared to be two-faced.
“Why? I’m inviting you, but you don’t want to go?” Sebastian’s face dropped when he saw that Myra wasn’t giving him a reaction.
Myra nodded hurriedly. “Okay, I’ll be there. I won’t… create trouble, Old Master Hart.”
At this, Sebastian’s expression became a lot more pleasant.
“Sit down and eat some fish,” Sebastian said blankly.
In fact, Myra had just taken her lunch less than three hours ago, so she wasn’t that hungry. But, since the old man had asked her to eat, she couldn’t refuse, so she went to take a plate and a pair of cutleries.
After eating for just a short while, the doorbell rang again.
Myra was about to get up to open the door, but Sebastian stopped her. “Eat your food; I’ll go.”
After that, he didn’t bother about her and walked straight to the hallway to ask who was outside. He was told that they were from the real estate company downstairs and that they had sent a parcel up.
Because it was a high-end apartment, ordinary courier services couldn’t deliver the parcels directly to the residents.
Sebastian looked at Myra. “What did you buy?”
As he spoke, he opened the door and retrieved an enormous box.
The box was rather heavy, and Sebastian nearly sprained his waist.
Myra didn’t remember what she bought. “Probably some snacks…”
Because Estelle loved snacks, there was always a supply of her favorites at home.
Sebastian pursed his lips again. “Young people should eat more healthy food and less junk food… Where do you put the scissors?”
He chided her, but he was rather eager to open the box as well.
“In that small cabinet in the hallway.”
There was a spark in Sebastian’s eyes. He was old, so the family doctor prohibited him from eating many things. Some time ago, he secretly ate a bag of potato chips that his grandson bought, but was caught by his wife, who reprimanded him. Now, seeing this box of snacks, he felt a little excited.
He found the scissors with ease and quickly cut the tape to see what was inside.
“This… this… What kind of filthy stuff are these?!”
He was so surprised that the scissors in his hand dropped to the ground, and his face was flushed red. He stood up and stared at the pair, whom he had just started to change his opinion of. “Come and see for yourself what nonsense you all bought!”
His embarrassment had turned into anger!
He knew that the man and woman weren’t decent!
Myra even lied and said that she had bought snacks. When he saw the items inside… He had lived for so many years, but now, he felt so ashamed that he didn’t know where to put his face!
Myra was a little puzzled. Why is Old Master Hart acting like this?
She hurried over from the dining room and saw the contents of the box after taking just a few steps. Her reaction was the same as Sebastian’s. The blush that had receded earlier crept onto her face all of a sudden.
“This… this…” She stumbled over her words, and she wished that the ground would crack open and swallow her whole. “This… I didn’t buy it…”
She was so anxious that her eyes were red.
Behind her, Tony walked over calmly. When he saw the contents of the box, his eyes narrowed, then a brief smile flashed across his face.
