Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 454

When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided

the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However,

she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.

Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra

felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.

Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way.

Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure

because she could not let Heather continue so.

While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived

after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.

Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra. Just now,

Myra had told her about the details and memories of her relationship with Tony. Heather thought that it

sounded like a fairytale love story, and that Tony was completely what Myra had hoped her dream man

would be. Besides, she also joked with Myra that it was impossible to find another man exactly like

Tony. Nevertheless, it would still be possible, albeit with lower probability, to find someone similar to

him.

On the way back, Myra swooned at Tony’s handsome face; almost everyone praised him, as if he was

everyone’s dream man. The more she looked at Tony, the more satisfied she was.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?” Tony let out a doting smile

while he looked straight at Myra, freeing a hand to rub her head.

“Eyes on the road,” Myra reminded him in a serious manner.

“What did you and Heather do all afternoon?” Tony jokingly asked her.

In the afternoon, Myra had told him on Whatsapp that she had skipped work, saying that she wanted to

get together with her best friend today. However, the woman simply smiled without answering him,

causing him to feel confused. It seems that they’ve chatted about some girls’ secrets. Thus, Tony did

not continue asking. After all, he did not need to question things between women, and he was simply

curious just now.

“We chatted all afternoon, and now, I don’t actually remember what we talked about.” Although Tony

did not pursue the question, Myra took the initiative to explain instead.

“You two often have endless conversations together.” Tony was happy that Myra had such a friend with

whom she could talk about everything, and it was even more important for Myra to be in a cheerful

mood during pregnancy. Since Heather returned, Myra had been smiling more.

“Aren’t you curious about what we talked about?” Myra raised her eyebrows at Tony.

At the end of the day, men’s curiosity was not as deep as women’s, especially Tony, who knew exactly

what to ask and what not to.

“If you are willing to tell me, then tell me. If not, I won’t be curious either.” Tony raised his eyebrows too

at Myra’s question. In the past, Myra would not be like this, and she basically would not discuss with

him what she talked about with Heather. It seemed that today, she was very eager to share what she

had talked about with Heather. In that case, Tony did not mind discussing it with Myra since perhaps

they had talked about something important.

A sigh emerged from Myra; she was about to say something when she looked at Tony. “Heather is still

not fully aware of herself when it comes to relationship issues. I’m a little worried about her.” If the other

party was not Tony, Myra would not have said such things casually.

“Fully aware?” Tony was very confused. Previously, Myra bought Heather’s newly published book, and

he had also read some of it.

As far as the book content was concerned, Tony thought Heather was considered someone with a high

IQ and EQ, so he didn’t believe she would not be fully aware of her own feelings. It sounded a bit

strange, but since Myra said so, it must be true. After all, Myra was so close to Heather that they

seemed more like sisters than friends.

“It’s really hard to explain. I’m not really sure how to describe it.” Myra responded with a distressed

look. Honestly speaking, Heather should not be like this, but Myra still hoped to speak with Tony in

case he had a good solution.

“You said to me in the past that Heather has never been in an official relationship before.” Tony was

unsure. If he recalled correctly, Myra seemed to have mentioned this once.

“Yes, we were just talking about this matter today. Heather said she had flirted with a guy before in

university, but unfortunately, that relationship did not blossom because of some misunderstandings.

After that, she no longer wears her heart on her sleeve. Instead, she does not easily open up to others,

and she even uses probability to judge whether to form a deeper connection with someone.” Myra felt

that Heather should change this kind of mentality because it sounded rather terrifying when she

thought about it carefully.

Tony listened with a serious face, thinking that this seemed to be a rather big problem. When he

thought about Heather’s face, Tony smirked. So far, it seemed that Myra was very concerned about this

issue.

Obviously, this problem had been affecting Heather for a long time, so it was not easy to uproot this

deep-seated fear. Since Myra had no solution, she told him in the hopes that he would have something

good to offer.

“You want to help Heather.” Tony was almost certain that Myra was thinking this.

“Yeah.” It was obvious.

“Then what are your ideas?” Tony went along with it. At the moment, he had no good ideas in his head,

and he wondered if this matter should be analyzed from a psychological perspective.

“No. Since childhood, Heather has been like this. Besides, she’s been hurt before. So, until today, she’s

been feeling uncertain in her heart. If we want her to try again and take a step forward, it would be very

difficult. She was born to be a businesswoman, so she measures everything according to gains and

losses.” Myra was still troubled; this matter had to be planned for the long term.

Then, Tony comforted Myra because he did not want her to continue feeling distraught over this matter.

So, he said to her, “Do not worry about this matter. Whatever will be, will be, especially when it comes

to matters of the heart. You can only worry for her, but if she meets her true love one day, nothing will

be a problem.” Tony was more convinced of this point because he had never had feelings for anyone

before until he came across Myra. After that, all he desired was to win her over.

As low in EQ as some people were, they would know exactly who they loved. Moreover, Heather did

not have low EQ. In Tony’s opinion, she just had not met the right person yet.

“But Heather would often cut off all hopes of a possible relationship before she would get an

opportunity to get to know the other person more. In fact, she wouldn’t give the other person any

chance. If this goes on, it will just be a vicious cycle.”

Myra really couldn’t understand why Heather had to do so. Were those people whom she had some

interest in really not worth her effort?

“That’s just because she doesn’t truly love those people. If she falls in love at first sight and wants to be

with that person forever, how would she be willing to cut him off?” Tony still maintained his previous

view that Heather had not met her true love yet.

Myra did not want to argue with Tony. Men and women were different, so their way of thinking was

certainly different as well.

“In fact, I think it could be a problem with her circle of friends. She has high standards for choosing her

spouse. She wants their views to be similar; she wants him to be dedicated to her, to be outstanding

and excellent in everything, as well as to possess intellectual and emotional depth. Besides, his looks,

figure, and taste have to match hers.” Myra briefly summarized Heather’s expectations, which sounded

quite high indeed, but with Heather’s conditions, it was not inappropriate for her to have such

requirements.

Tony thought for a moment and smiled. At this moment, Myra’s expression was pretty serious, so the

atmosphere was rather tense.

“So which aspect does she want the man to be outstanding and excellent in? Does she want a

businessman, a politician, or an excellent working-class man?” Tony asked directly.

Blinking, Myra realized that she had not thought of this matter yet. “I’m sure she knows many

candidates among all these groups you’ve mentioned. I believe that as long as that person has

something outstanding within him that can move her heart, his identity should not matter.” As the two

continued discussing, it was about to turn into a serious academic seminar.

Looking thoughtfully at Myra, Tony did not think as she did. Given Heather’s nature, he reckoned she

should prefer a businessman. After all, Myra said that Heather was born to be a businesswoman. Since

this was the case, a businessman would have more similar views with her.

“How about…” Tony hesitated to speak.

Myra looked at Tony in confusion, waiting to hear his next words.

Tony was thinking that, since Myra had raised the issue of Heather’s social circle, could it be that Myra

thought that Heather’s social circle had restricted her possibility of finding true love? But he was not too

sure and wanted to ask Myra if they should introduce a good candidate to Heather. However, he did not

really agree with introductions that carried such purposes, and he didn’t know if Myra would be happy

about it.

Seeing that Tony didn’t say anything, Myra had no choice but to continue the topic he had just raised. “I

always feel that Heather should be exposed to a few different social circles, but Heather’s social circle

is already very wide, and I don’t know if…” Myra also had her own concerns. She had thought about it

for a long time, but she didn’t have any good candidates for Heather.

Tony nodded in agreement and said, “Then I will help you pay more attention around me. If there are

men who meet Heather’s spouse selection criteria on my side, should we introduce them to each

other?” Tony asked the question tentatively; he never expected that one day, he would also bother with

such things.

Myra hesitantly looked at Tony. Indeed, Tony’s social circle was also very wide, and it was normal for

him to have suitable candidates on his side. But Myra didn’t know how to talk to Heather, who didn’t like ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

this kind of matchmaking introduction!

“Why don’t we arrange something more subtle? Perhaps we can let them meet at our wedding.” A good

idea came to Myra’s mind. Heather would be her bridesmaid, and if the man suitable for the former was

invited to be the best man, it would be natural for them to meet and get to know each other.

Tony nodded approvingly. “This is a good idea. However, the most suitable person I can think of at the

moment is now far away in Hungary, and I don’t know if he will come back for our wedding.”

This was something Tony did not dare to guarantee, not to mention that he would never use tactics just

to introduce the right person to Heather as that would be too weird.

“Invite him to be our best man, then. Whether he’s willing or not depends on God’s will. If he does

come, then it’s fated for them to meet.” Myra let out a sly smile. Feeling much clearer about everything,

she realized that Tony really could help her solve anything. He was the kind of lover who could do

anything!
