Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 220

Mrs. Fletcher reluctantly fetched a chair, whereas Myra turned to Kris. “Can you please scoot over to

make some space?” Myra murmured and smiled sweetly.

Rachel and Kris acted like loving family members in front of me for such a long time just now. If Kris

were to refuse to make space, she would be humiliating both Rachel and herself.

Under Rachel’s scrutiny, Kris had no choice but to shift her chair reluctantly.

Myra placed the chair properly. Just as she was seated, she conveniently pinched Tony’s thigh hard

while hissing at him quietly, “You’re trouble!”

It was barely a whisper so others might not have heard her, but Tony heard her clearly.

His lips curled into a faint smile.

Myra fingers ached from pinching him and she was just about to shift her hand away when a large,

warm and dry hand grabbed hers. She wasn’t sure if Tony was doing it on purpose, but his calloused

left fingers rubbed against Myra’s. He continued the friction while pressing her hand against his warm

thigh.

An electric shock radiated immediately throughout Myra’s limbs.

Her face blushed slightly and she wanted to glare at him, but Tony did not turn to look at her. Instead,

he was chatting with Cameron seriously. “It is my first time paying you a visit at the Stark Residence but

I did not prepare any extravagant gifts. I bought a set of white porcelain from Kyoto previously and I

hope that it’ll be to your taste, President Stark,” Tony sounded much more polite this time around

compared to when they were at the entrance.

“Director Hart, it’s great enough that you’re here. You don’t have to be so courteous as to prepare a gift

for us.”

Although Cameron was surprised by Tony’s politeness, he was secretly happy because it maintained

his self-esteem and dignity despite losing 5% of the Stark Group’s shares beforehand. However, when

he recalled that his younger daughter was the cause for the loss of the shares, Cameron couldn’t help

but glance coldly at Kris.

Kris did not heed the frosty glare from Cameron because she was observing what was happening

under the dining table from the corner of her eye. They are holding hands tightly just right beside me!

Myra is a b*tch! She’s always seducing Tony whenever and wherever she is! It is no wonder that Tony

has been entranced by her recently.

Kris was blinded by rage and she wanted nothing more than to rush forward to rip their hands apart.

“Kris, fetch a clean set of cutlery for Director Hart.” Rachel noticed that her daughter looked off, so she

immediately tried to ask her to leave.

At that moment, Kris seemingly snapped back to reality. She noticed the panic in Rachel’s gaze, so she

inhaled deeply to calm herself down. No; I can’t continue acting rashly. I’m not even sure if we can go

on with the plan tonight. If unexpected things crop up again, Cameron will never forgive us both.

Kris endured it at the critical moment and she obeyed Rachel, standing up obediently to make her way

to the kitchen. It is an opportunity to personally prepare Tony’s cutlery after all… Kris’ lips turned into a

smirk but before she could take the first step, Tony’s voice stopped her. “There’s no need; I can use this

set.”

He took over the cutlery in front of him, as if not bothered that Myra had used them before. He then

scooped some food into the plate and started chewing his food elegantly.

Everybody’s expression changed and they stared at Tony with a complicated gaze.

Myra was the only one who was moved after the initial shock wore off. Tony’s actions always reassure

me and make me feel good. However, I can’t possibly make things difficult for him. She was about to

stand up to fetch a new set of cutlery for him, but Tony seemed to read her mind because he grabbed

her right hand with his left to pull her down. Then, he turned to look at her. “Are you still hungry?”

“Uh…” Myra was already full so she shook her head. “I’ll go get a set of cutlery for you. You’re using

the ones I’ve used earlier,” she answered him softly.

“Don’t bother.” Tony’s expression was calm as he took a mouthful of the food on the half-eaten plate.

Myra blushed deeply because he was doing something so intimate in front of the Stark Family.

However, she immediately realized what he was trying to do. Is Tony making a point in front of the

Stark Family? Is he trying to tell them that I am his woman? Myra felt a sweetness in the depth of her

heart.

She squeezed Tony’s left hand tighter, all the while smiling faintly.

Kris had just stood up so she was able to see their interactions clearly. Her body stiffened and she felt

embarrassed and annoyed; in the end, she had no choice but to return to her seat.

“Tony…” After weighing her options for ages, Kris finally smiled at Tony in a friendly manner. “Tony, are

you leaving tonight since you’ve come all the way here? Why don’t you and Myra stay the night? I’ll ask

Mom to prepare a guest room for you.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“There’s no need.” Tony squeezed Myra’s hand and he added calmly, “I’ll stay in Myra’s room.”

Kris’ expression darkened straight away, while Rachel’s gaze turned gloomy and sinister.

Based on the current situation, Tony doesn’t just like Myra. Rumor has it that he is obsessed with

cleanliness but he’s willing to use Myra’s used cutlery, and he’s even willing to eat her leftovers.

Then, Rachel turned to Kris, whose gaze was burning with passion for Tony, and she scowled slightly

at her.

“Enough; all of you can stop worrying. Director Hart may be a guest but Myra is here to take care of

him.” Cameron spoke from the head of the table. He then glanced at Myra and he spoke to her with a

gentle tone, “Just inform the housekeeper if you need anything. If we don’t have something you need,

instruct her and the chauffeur to head out to buy it.”

Although Myra wasn’t fond of Cameron, she would not go against him at this critical moment so she

nodded in response.

Everybody had different thoughts throughout the meal.

After dinner, Cameron dismissed everyone but he summoned Tony into his study.

Tony appeared indifferent but he noticed Myra’s frown. Hence, he kissed her forehead openly while

speaking to her in a gentle tone, “Don’t you want to know what act they’re trying to pull here?”

Myra was astounded. The mother and daughter are afraid of us because Tony is by my side, so I’m

sure they won’t dare try anything. However, with Tony away…

In any case, it’s obvious that Cameron has an ulterior motive since he summoned Tony into his study.

“You don’t have to promise Cameron anything out of concern for me.” Myra squeezed Tony’s hand and

she said to him in a low voice, “Reject him straight away if he lays out any conditions.”

Tony looked at her protective stance and he smiled faintly. “Be careful. Don’t fall into their trap.”

“Yeah; I’m on the alert now. I will not let Rachel get what she wants. She has nothing to harm me with,

apart from the unborn child in her womb.”

Tony nodded and he released Myra before walking upstairs into the study.

Downstairs, Rachel dragged Kris into the kitchen straight away and asked her tentatively, “Are you sure

that you must have Tony Hart? I heard that you are spending time with Hayden lately. Kris, what do you

truly want?”

“Why are you asking me this now, Mom? I must have Tony Hart!” Kris hissed through gritted teeth. “I’m

just fooling around with Hayden and I know what I’m doing, so just let me do what I want.”

“In that case, you have to break things up with Hayden before Tony notices anything, because he’s a

very smart man. Besides, you should be more alert; do not go overboard.”

Kris knew what Rachel meant. Hayden is just my temporary boyfriend, so how could I possibly allow

myself to get pregnant with his child? However, I feel sorry when I think about how considerate he is to

me… Kris smiled cunningly as she murmured, “Don’t worry, Mom. I have Hayden wrapped around my

finger and I know how to handle this.”
