Shawn couldn’t stay on any longer. Then, he retracted his furious glare and waved at Tilly.
“Over here.” Tilly looked at Shawn timidly. He was wearing a fierce expression a second ago, but was calling her over now.
After hesitating for a while, Tilly still went forward while staring nervously at Shawn. She wondered if she had annoyed him just now, and he didn’t seem to be pleased either when she took a close look at him. As such, Tilly regretted coming to look for Estelle.
Shawn pushed Estelle into Tilly’s arms. “She’s drunk. Please look after her on my behalf. I have some urgent matters to attend to,” Shawn said while turning around elegantly.
Tilly nodded instinctively. It was only after Shawn had left did she smell the alcohol in Estelle’s breath.
Fortunately, Estelle was already exhausted, otherwise she would surely chase after Shawn. At this moment, Estelle was just weak. Tilly asked in resignation, “Estelle, how much did you actually drink?”
“I wanna drink more.” Estelle giggled foolishly while staring unresignedly at Shawn as he left until he disappeared from her sight.
“You shouldn’t drink anymore. You’re drunk already.” Tilly wore a defeated look.
She was worried that Estelle would act crazy later because she was drunk, so she planned to bring her to Elliot now when she was still calm.
She wouldn’t worry as much with a man beside them. At least they would be able to put Estelle under control if she really acted crazy. Tilly was too small-sized to control Estelle.
Elliot was having a good time drinking with Philip, and the two men were perplexed when they saw Tilly dragging Estelle over. By rights, Estelle should be at Shawn’s elbow, but Shawn was nowhere to be seen now. Elliot and Philip looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing their perturbed look, Tilly explained to them, “Deputy Mayor Hart left to attend to some urgent matters. Estelle is drunk, so he asked me to look after her.”
Elliot scratched his head and pointed at Estelle as he asked, “Are you sure you’ll be able to look after her now that she’s drunk?” Tilly had gotten herself an arduous task.
It was troublesome to deal with a drunk person, not to mention that person was Estelle. No one could predict what would happen next. Elliot casted a sympathetic glance at Tilly, to which Tilly returned with a fierce glare. This guy just can’t say something helpful.
“I’ll bring her to Tony. You guys aren’t helpful at all,” Tilly grumbled, feeling displeased.
Hearing that, Elliot quickly stopped Tilly and said with a wide grin, “Please don’t! Tony and Myra can finally take a rest, so don’t bother them with such a small matter. We’re around, and we won’t let Estelle cause a big scene.”
Elliot quickly extended a helping hand seeing Tilly’s crabby look. If he really irritated her, he would need to spend more time coaxing her by that time.
“You guys are unreliable. I don’t trust you all.” Tilly glanced at Elliot in disdain, and she directed her comment toward Philip too.
Philip feigned an innocent look at Tilly. “Am I unreliable too?” He pointed at himself and asked. Why am I implicated by Elliot?
“Yeah,” Tilly answered firmly.
Nevertheless, she was just messing around with Elliot and didn’t actually intend to go bother Tony. At this moment, Tony would certainly be accompanying Myra, and Tilly didn’t want to disturb them. Moreover, it had been a busy day for Myra, and as a pregnant woman, she must be exhausted, so Tilly didn’t want to interrupt her rest all the more.
Meanwhile, in the lounge, Myra was indeed worn out. Tony was thoughtfully giving Myra a massage. Although Myra said she didn’t need it, she didn’t actually stop him.
“Do you feel better now, Myra?” Tony asked gently by her ear.
“Mm-hmm.” Myra nodded sweetly. There was nothing Tony couldn’t do, and Myra thought she had found a gem.
“Take a seat too, Tony. You must be tired too after all the hassle,” Myra said while holding Tony’s hand. She was indeed exhausted, and she thought Tony was probably worn out too.
Tony didn’t reject Myra and sat down beside her. There was some food on the table which the server had brought over upon Tony’s order.
“Have some food,” Tony said to Myra.
Myra had no appetite, so she wasn’t too interested in eating. Tony continued, “You should eat something, otherwise it’ll be harmful to your stomach.” Saying that, he took a cookie to feed Myra.
The couple enjoyed their sweet time together and couldn’t be bothered about what was going on outside. It was currently meal time anyway, and the bride and groom didn’t have to be present. The world seemed to be quiet now as they couldn’t hear any noise from the outside. It was like there was no one else on the planet except the two of them.
Tony couldn’t help but kiss Myra fervently on her lips and moved on to kiss her nose. He then mumbled cheesily by Myra’s ear, “There’s cookie crumbs on your mouth. I’ll help you to lick them away.”
Myra blushed hearing his sweet words. Tony teased her as usual while she lay in his arms, carefully listening to his heartbeat.
Tony cuddled Myra tight. The wedding had gone smoother than he imagined. At the very least, there was no one who came to deliberately mess up the ceremony. Tony was actually prepared for if someone caused a scene at the wedding, but everything turned out to be smooth, which was beyond his expectation.
“Tony, is it inappropriate for us to stay here for too long?” Myra asked Tony in his arms. She felt like they had been gone for quite some time, so she was thinking if they should go back out.
“It’s okay. We can go out when it’s almost ending,” Tony said unaffectedly. He couldn’t be bothered to know what was happening out there. He just didn’t want Myra to be tired.
A pregnant woman should be treated with the utmost priority. Tony had been carefully taking care of Myra as he was worried that Myra would feel unwell. In fact, the entire Hart family treated Myra like a queen, which made Myra feel loved.
“They will take care of the other guests, so we don’t have to worry.” Tony continued coaxing Myra, hoping that it would give her a peace of mind.
On this day, everyone witnessed the love between Myra and Tony besides the high profile of the Hart family. The wedding was featured on the front page of all newspapers on the next day.
In the past, the Hart family would not easily allow the media to publish news regarding their family. However, they were extraordinarily hospitable toward the reporters who attended Tony and Myra’s wedding. As long as the reporters did not act outrageously, they were allowed to take pictures as they pleased. The Harts were already being very kind by doing so.
Of course, different media used different approaches to report the wedding. Some even contrasted the wedding with Sean’s loneliness at this time.
When Sean read those reports, he was so pissed off that he began smashing things in his office. The reports were extremely sarcastic and Sean was presented as a totally useless man.
Indeed, reporters often distorted the truth. Even though it was true that Sean was rather disheartened and lonely, he was not as desolate as reported.
Besides, some news reports specifically highlighted Myra’s bridesmaid, Heather. She had been on the front page of the newspaper before due to her scandal with Matthias. This time round, the media took the opportunity to continue exploiting Heather as their source of news.
What was more, some reporters even captured pictures of Heather and Matthias meeting each other’s gaze in the church. The pictures were taken in such a delicate angle that it captured the complicated emotions in Matthias’ eyes and traces of affection in Heather’s. The pictures were so ambiguously romantic that even Heather and Matthias didn’t know how to refute it.
Myra started suspecting Heather when she saw the said news. She connected everything Heather had said before this and suspected if something was really going on between Heather and Matthias.
It was obvious that this reporter had previously followed Heather and Matthias because he had secretly taken a few photos of them meeting in private. This naturally made the news report more credible and true, and coupled with the writing technique that was tortuous, it sounded like a romance novel where Heather and Matthias were the main characters.
Although Myra had lots of doubts, she couldn’t have a talk with Heather at this moment because right after the wedding, Tony took her on a getaway on his private plane.
Of course it was not just a random getaway—it was their honeymoon trip. The timing was so impeccable that when Myra saw the news reports, she was already out of the city.
This morning, Myra woke up early. The sleeping quality of pregnant women tended to be inconsistent. Sometimes she slept like a log, but other times she was a light sleeper. She couldn’t go back to sleep after waking up but she didn’t want to alert Tony, so she scrolled through the news reports of the wedding and found this particular report.
When Tony woke up, he realized Myra was staring at her phone screen with a frown, so he secretly leaned close to her.
Tony was jealous when he saw Myra was still caring about Heather, who was faraway in Bradfort City. He cuddled Myra from behind.
“What are you reading after waking up so early?” Myra was taken aback when Tony’s voice emerged.
Myra quickly kept away her phone and turned to look at Tony with a smile. “Nothing. I’m just scrolling through Twitter out of curiosity.” Her smile was tinged with a hint of guilt.
“Sure.” Tony hummed with a tone which obviously showed that he didn’t believe her.
“Good morning.” Myra changed the topic and kept smiling.
“Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?” Tony leaned closer to Myra. The fragrance from her was so captivating that Tony didn’t even want to leave the bed.
“Yea.” Myra nodded instantly. She had had a long day yesterday, so she had dozed off the moment she lay on the bed. The couple didn’t even spend their first wedding night the typical way.
“There’s still a long journey today, so please rest well and be recharged.” Smiling, Tony said while leaning on Myra’s body and pretended to continue sleeping. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to put all his weight onto Myra.
“Are you going to continue sleeping?” Myra said in resignation, thinking that Tony was like a child.
“Come sleep with me.” Tony rolled over and pulled Myra to lie on top of him.
“This is uncomfortable.” Myra wanted to come down from Tony’s body as the posture was indeed uncomfortable.
As such, Tony put her down and cuddled her. “Sleep for a while more. There’ll be good food when we wake up later,” he said.
