Even though it was a casual suggestion, Myra was somehow moved by it. Since we are returning to Bradfort City and our usual life, we should take this opportunity to run wild one last time. As for where they were going, she closed her eyes while her finger moved across the map.
Meanwhile, Tony stood aside with his arms crossed, waiting for her to open her eyes. The moment she did, she realized that she was pointing at Birmingham, England.
On the surface, it looked like a great destination since she had never been to England before, but it would take a long time for them to reach there. We are going to spend a lot of time on the plane tomorrow, which means that we’ll be flying straight to Bradfort City the moment we arrive there.
“It’s a bit too far,” she murmured. However, Tony didn’t seem too bothered about it.
“Then that’s where we’ll be going. We can return to Bradfort City from there.” He insisted on his own idea, thinking that since he’d made her a promise, he must do his best to keep it.
Therefore, she nodded her head in agreement. Even though she didn’t feel comfortable taking the plane, she had nothing to say when she saw the excitement on his face.
Unexpectedly, he regretted his decision the very next day. Early in the morning, Myra woke up and blinked her eyes before asking him, “Is it time to leave?”
“We are not going anymore.” While speaking, he placed his ear on her belly as if someone was talking to him. “Our child says that it doesn’t want to keep on flying around but wants to return home as soon as possible.”
When he woke up early in the morning, he had recalled the conversation they had last night and suddenly felt that it wasn’t a good idea. Myra is currently pregnant, so previously, we would stop at a place for a few days to give her some time to rest before continuing with our trip. Therefore, I’m afraid that she won’t be able to handle traveling to England when we just got here yesterday.
Tony had overlooked this problem, having been too excited yesterday. Hence, he was determined not to make the same mistake again, so even if she insisted on going to England, he would not agree to it. Of course, she didn’t argue with his sudden change of mind as she didn’t want to fly around for an entire day in the first place. Besides, it was already difficult for her to walk around Harvard University right after getting off the plane the day before.
Squinting her eyes, she said with a giggle, “Then I’m going back to sleep.”
This time, she slept for a long time before waking up again in the afternoon. During that period, there were many times that Tony wanted to wake her up to eat, but upon seeing her sleeping so soundly, he couldn’t bear to wake her up.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to the best local restaurant for a meal. During the meal, Myra couldn’t stop praising the restaurant’s dishes, but then again, she was probably hungry for anything. Toward the evening, they took a train to Boston so that they could experience the night life in the city. They had fun into the night and Tony, who had been very cautious when it came to her health, had even allowed her to have some supper.
Last night, they were talking about going to Birmingham to perfectly conclude their honeymoon, but in the end, their final destination was changed to Boston instead.
It was the capital and biggest city of Massachusetts, a city of literature and arts that combined modernity and tradition. The most famous university in the city was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Furthermore, Boston was a special city to the United States because this was where the Boston Tea Party took place and sparked the famous American War of Independence.
Needless to say, Myra and Tony enjoyed the cultural atmosphere of the city. There were many places that they wanted to visit, including the famous Boston University, but sadly, there wasn’t much time for them to visit all of them.
At night, they stayed awake by walking down the streets of the city and cherishing the last moments of their honeymoon. Since Tony had said before that they would be returning to Bradfort City in three days, he wasn’t planning to delay the schedule even for a day.
When they got back to the hotel, Myra called Heather on the phone. On the latter’s side, it was already afternoon, and when she received the call, she could hear Myra’s familiar voice coming from the other end.
“Where are you now?” Heather smiled and asked. Knowing that the couple had been to so many places, she couldn’t tell where they were at the moment.
“We are in Boston,” Myra answered.
“That’s a great place. You should definitely visit Boston University. I really like that school.” In fact, Heather had been to Boston before as an exchange student, and she enjoyed her time at the university.
“I’m afraid that we can only visit there next time. We are heading home tomorrow,” Myra replied with a sigh. It must be a great place to visit if Heather really likes it.
“That’s quick. I thought you two are only halfway through your honeymoon.” Heather was a little confused. Isn’t it too early for them to come back?
“Have you forgotten what I told you a few days ago?” Myra reminded her about the reason why they decided to come back. Due to the complicated situation in Bradfort City, the two of them weren’t able to enjoy their trip peacefully.
“Alright. It’s great that you are coming back early. Without you here, I have no one to accompany me to indulge in delicacies,” Heather said in a casual tone. Since they’ve already decided, I should loosen up a bit.
“Then wait for my return.” After that, they started chatting about their daily routine while Tony was doing his work on the side, not knowing when they would end the call.
After hanging up the call, Heather stared at her phone thoughtfully. I didn’t expect them to come back so quickly. Looks like Tony has compromised with her. Actually, she knew all along that Myra wanted to return early. After all, Locke Group had begun their aggressive attack on Hart Group, so Tony needed to return quickly to deal with such a powerful and proactive opponent.
As for Myra, she understood the situation clearly too, so she always wanted to return early, but she didn’t expect him to be this stubborn. Ever since he left, Locke Group became even more aggressive with their attack, and Heather tried a few times to talk to Matthias about it, but she never got the chance. Even so, she still couldn’t do anything about the situation as it was impossible to change Matthias’ mind, so she pretended to not know about it.
However, something stranger happened afterward. While abroad, Myra was surprised that someone had been stalking them all this time, which made her more determined to return home.
On the other hand, Heather knew all along that the couple’s honeymoon wouldn’t go on smoothly, and sure enough, they were coming back earlier than expected. She didn’t head to work on this day. Ever since the Lantern Festival, she had been staying at home as if she had made a tacit agreement to stay put.
Even Blake had stopped calling her to work, so she didn’t know that he had already assigned all of her work in Langston Group to other management. Nevertheless, she also wanted to take this chance to simply skip work as she had already planned to start her own career. This is a great chance for me to leave Langston Group.
As for Robert, he had tacitly agreed to her decision and even hinted to her that she didn’t need to work at Langston Group anymore. Secretly, he had even informed Blake that she didn’t need to come to work. Even though Blake was unwilling to accept it, it was still Robert’s orders, so he couldn’t say much about it.
However, he was still observant enough to understand that Robert was planning not to let Heather back to Langston Group. Also, he noticed that the former had changed a lot ever since Caleb showed up. Needless to say, the latter had piqued the old man’s interest.
If I want to find out who Caleb is, I must use Everly to do so. She can definitely seduce him to let his guard down. After making up his mind, he decided to talk to her about it sometime the next day. I’ll look for her at the university tomorrow afternoon.
When Myra and Tony returned, Heather was at the airport to welcome them, just like how they had welcomed her back then. This time, they had told only her about their early return, so there was no one else at the airport to welcome them.
Initially, they wanted to match her with Lucas by creating a chance for them to be together while waiting for their plane to arrive. However, Lucas had a high fever that prevented him from coming out of the house. What are the odds?
When the two of them arrived, Heather could see Tony holding a suitcase that was fairly small. I can’t believe they brought so little luggage for such a long trip. Little did she know, they had packed a lot for the trip, but all of it was checked in for shipment. As for the luggage that Tony was holding, it only contained his daily clothes.
“It feels like you were gone for a century,” Heather said as she went up to them.
The moment Myra saw her, her eyes immediately lit up. Leaving Tony behind, she ran up to her excitedly.
“Have you two been taking exaggerating lessons together?” Feeling doubtful, Myra pointed at her before pointing at Tony. The two of them sure do like to exaggerate things.
However, Heather looked at her confusedly as she couldn’t understand her humor, but when she looked toward Tony, she could see him turning his finger in circles next to his head. Silently, he mouthed the words to her. “She has gotten dumber since her pregnancy.”
Immediately, she understood what he meant and tried to hold back her laughter. Seeing this, Myra looked back at Tony in puzzlement. As soon as she turned around, he reverted back to his cold expression, so she didn’t know that he was actually making fun of her. Meanwhile, Heather noticed that after their trip, the two seemed to have changed significantly.
Being as keen as she was, she could sense that they were now much different when compared to the first time they met. Tony’s face always looks indifferent and isolating, but he isn’t as cold as he seems. His smile is actually very heart-warming, and he is a very considerate husband to Myra. As for Myra, I somehow feel that she is much different than before. Maybe Tony was right; maybe she has gotten dumber since her pregnancy. I would rarely see her this laid back before. Ever since she graduated, she changed a lot by forcefully getting rid of her many personal problems, but now, she looks more like the Myra that I first met. Under Tony’s care, she is now slowly revealing her true self. Her heart has always been strong yet soft, so when she meets someone who truly cares for her, she will become an obedient kitten who likes to be affectionate from time to time.
“I’ll be your host today. Where do you guys want to eat?” she asked after a while.
Then, Myra looked at Tony, asking him to make a decision. “Let’s dine somewhere nearby.” The former hadn’t eaten much on the plane, and he was afraid that she would be hungry. Hence, he wanted to find a place to have a proper meal as soon as possible.
“Why don’t we go to that previous restaurant we went to?” Heather suggested as she thought that the restaurant was just around the airport.
“I’m fine with it.” Myra quickly agreed since she was starting to feel hungry. In the past few days, she had a really good appetite and could eat up to four or five meals a day. Therefore, she was slightly worried that she would gain a lot of weight in the end.
Not only that, but Tony even kept on asking her to eat more every day. There were a few times that she wanted to weigh herself behind his back, but in the end, she had given up because she was afraid that it might ruin her appetite.
