Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

If he really can’t keep to his promise, I can walk home too. Southern Hill is not a small area, but it’s not gigantic either. Apart from that, it would be for the best if he could really clear my name from the accusation of plagiarism.

As soon as Myra thought about that, she stopped speaking and quietly looked outside the car window.

From the corner of his eyes, Tony slightly arched his good-looking eyebrows when he saw her small face had darkened.

The car was soon driven to the mansion region, which was surrounded by a garden.

Southern Hill was the paradise for many wealthy people, but a mansion as big as the Hart Residence could not be found—even in the area.

It took almost five minutes for the car to be driven from the main gate to a building that looked like a castle with European architecture.

Soon, the car came to a tall fountain that resembled a swan. Next to it was a huge mansion with white walls and red bricks that were surrounded by trees; the place looked impressive and intricate at the same time.

Even Myra, who had seen different styles of mansions, could not help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, the Hart Family is the most prestigious family in Bradfort City.

Tony, who was next to her, had been resting with his eyes closed. He finally opened them and landed his profound gaze on her as he looked at her clear eyes.

Without waiting for him to speak, she quickly responded, “Just go ahead and run your errands, Director Hart. This garden is quite beautiful—I’ll take a stroll while waiting for you to be back.” Afraid that he would invite her inside for a cup of tea or something to that effect, she quickly broke the silence.

Perhaps she was defensive because he had joked about asking her to marry him earlier. If I enter the mansion with him, how would I explain my reason for being here once I meet the elders in his family like Old Master Hart? I don’t want to run into any unnecessary embarrassment or troubles.

Tony seemed to frown unhappily as he stared into Myra’s eyes, but he did not convince her otherwise. “The garden is quite big, so bring your phone with you. I’ll call you when I’m done,” he reminded her nonchalantly.
