Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 271

“I’ve been thinking about this since a few years ago…” Sebastian truly didn’t know if his heart could bear it anymore. His grandson had been pursuing a married woman… Why did this make him feel… angry?!

“Do you feel particularly proud right now? Why don’t you tell her ex-husband that you were pursuing his wife when they were still married?” Sebastian was close to breaking his cane. He stared fiercely at his grandson, whom he deemed unworthy. “Tony, there’s no one in the Hart Family who’s nearly as shameless as you!”

“So, what do you want?” Tony’s lips were pursed tightly.

“What do I want?! I want to break your damned legs!” Sebastian was stunned by Tony’s indifferent tone, and his temper was set off. He walked out from behind his desk and swung his cane at Tony’s legs.

“Ahh—” Myra cried out. The sturdy stick really ended up hitting Tony’s legs.

Sebastian didn’t expect that his grandson wouldn’t dodge and just let him hit him with his cane. For a moment, he was stunned. Then, Tony’s cold gaze met his. “Are you done hitting me?”

Provoked by that single glance, Sebastian suddenly felt a little guilty. But, almost immediately, his face darkened, and he sneered, “Hit you? Hitting you would be like getting dirt on my hands!”

As soon as he said that, Tony suddenly grabbed hold of Myra and was about to walk out.

“Where are you going?” Sebastian was furious, but Tony didn’t answer.

From Myra’s perspective, she could see that the cheeks of the man holding her hand were extremely taut, and his thin lips were pressed tightly together. It was as if he was suppressing certain heinous emotions. Suddenly, she stood still and tugged on Tony’s hand. He sensed it almost as soon as Myra stopped walking. Turning around, he squinted at her.

Myra tried to placate him by pulling his hand and saying softly, “Can we leave after settling the matter?”

Anger, darkness, and violence were raging in his chest, so it was a miracle that Tony endured up till this point. Myra was aware of his temper, but she still felt a little helpless. They couldn’t just leave the Hart Residence like that. At the very least, they couldn’t leave Sebastian feeling mad and overthinking things. They were his family, and Lisa mentioned just now that the old man was just taking his anger out on her. She believed that he had only said those things earlier because he was too angry, so everything would be fine when he calmed down.

Tony’s gaze gradually became less hostile. He looked straight at Myra, then his thin lips moved as he uttered a single word. “Okay.”

Sebastian was furious, but he too knew how bad his grandson’s temper was. The fact that he was leaving now after holding it in for so long and had endured being beaten by him twice indicated that Tony’s patience had reached its limit. However, when Sebastian saw that this unruly beast of a man was held back after Myra said only one sentence, a flurry of emotions rushed into his heart. She’s indeed the woman whom he hasn’t given up on…

“But, you heard what he said just now. If I hadn’t arrived in time…” The rest of Tony’s statement needed no further explanation. His expression was sour, but Myra simply gave his hand a hard squeeze.

Myra wanted to say something, but Tony interrupted her once more. “You won’t use this to make things difficult for Myra again?” He spoke slowly, and his tone was still rather cold.

Sebastian was so angered by this sentence that his beard was curling up. He wished so badly to kill this disrespectful grandson with his own hands. “You’re already protecting her like this, so what else can I do?” he said enigmatically.

“All right. Then, we’ll leave this matter at that. The next thing I’m going to say is the actual purpose of my return to the Hart Residence today.” It seemed like the earlier incident where his back was injured was old news. Tony straightened his back, then looked at Sebastian with determination and said slowly, “What I said just now was not a joke. I want to marry Myra, and I don’t want to delay it any longer.”

…

“Sean, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?” As soon as Sean returned to the Chase Group, Eve, who had been waiting on his floor, caught sight of him and asked with a frown. She had made countless calls to him just now, but he didn’t answer any of them. Such a big incident had happened, and her son even went to the Stark Group again. Eve was truly afraid that her son wouldn’t think straight and would get involved with Myra again.

At this moment, Sean’s expression wasn’t exactly pleasant. When he was in the midst of discussing business with Cameron, he got to know that the video of Myra in the hotel room from some time ago had been uploaded to the Internet.

Just now, in front of the elevator, he wanted to help Myra, but it was obvious that she didn’t want his assistance, which only irritated him even more.
