The Wife He Left Behind（528）

Chapter 528

By the time Myra opened her eyes, it was already past 9 in the morning. The moment she tilted her

head aside, she could see Tony lying on the bed in his clothes, but because his upper body was

leaning against the headboard, she could only look up at him while he looked at her from above.

“You look so scary staring at me like that.” These were the first words she uttered as soon as she woke

up. Immediately, Tony smiled as he knew that his face looked very stern when it was emotionless.

“Since you are awake, it’s time to get up. I’m taking you out for breakfast.” In fact, he had been staring

at her like a fool for a while now.

“Did I miss the plane?” She spoke as she rubbed her eyes, sounding a little distressed.

“The plane will depart in two hours. We still have time,” he replied to her directly. Before we went to

sleep yesterday, I did ask her to get up early to catch the plane, but she probably didn’t know that the

departure time isn’t actually that early.

“I thought the plane would be leaving at 8 or 9.” The moment she opened her eyes, the first thing she

had thought of was that they had missed the plane. Although she knew that they were definitely late

since she woke up by herself this morning, she didn’t take Tony’s consideration into account.

“You’ve become dumber since your pregnancy. I think I should watch after you more closely.

Otherwise, someone might just abduct you,” he said teasingly.

“Hey, I’m not dumb at all,” she refuted. Of course, she had also noticed that her intelligence was

actually deteriorating.

After a while, she slowly got out of bed, and Tony followed her. Seeing how blurry she looked after

waking up, he was afraid that she would collapse on the floor at any time.

“Be careful.” He carefully reminded her from behind. Previously, I never realized that she can be such a

sleepy head. Now, it’s becoming more and more obvious to me.

While brushing her teeth in a daze, Myra looked as though she had not woken up from her sleep even

though she had already slept for more than 8 hours. Hence, he supported her from the back and asked

tenderly, “Do you need me to help you brush your teeth?”

Finally, she came back to her senses and shook her head. “Nope.” Then, Tony placed his chin on her

shoulder while leaning forward, which made his body look especially crooked.

“You’re so heavy.” In reality, he didn’t put much weight on her, but she wasn’t used to his posture, so

she shrugged her shoulders while complaining.

Therefore, he lifted his chin and wanted to continue ‘harassing’ her, but resignedly, she pushed him out

and said firmly, “Stop wasting time. Let me brush my teeth in peace.”

After being pushed out, Tony tidied his clothes and reverted back to his serious self as if nothing had

happened. Sometimes, Myra would wonder if she was hallucinating since it was rare to see Tony’s

flippant side, hence why she couldn’t help but doubt herself.

Quickly, she cleaned herself up, and when she was done, more than 30 minutes had passed. She

thought, Looks like I don’t need to rush anymore. There’s plenty of time for us to catch the plane.

Meanwhile, Tony had called for room service, so a knock on the door was heard right on time. After

opening the door, the waiter came in with a set of rich and nutritious breakfast he had ordered for Myra.

After the waiter left, Tony pushed the breakfast to Myra, who had a good appetite recently. “How

punctual of you,” she remarked with a smile.

“Well, that’s because I’m smart,” he boasted.

“I’m so hungry. I’ll start eating now.” Even if she wasn’t hungry, the child inside her belly would still need

to consume nutrients whenever it was time.

“You should eat more.” As for Tony, he wished that he could make her round and chubby so that he

would feel more comfortable hugging her during his sleep.

“I can’t finish all of this.” Every day, he would prepare breakfast for her that was enough to feed four

people, which was very wasteful.

Heather is also another wasteful person. I admit that on this part, she and Tony are really alike. After so

many years, I’m still unable to correct this problem of hers, so I probably won’t be able to correct his

too.

When they finished their breakfast and exited the hotel, she suddenly felt a chill even though the

weather here was much warmer than that in Bradfort City. However, the temperature had dropped on

this day, and Tony regretted not preparing some thicker clothes for her when they went shopping the

day before.

“Are you cold?” While holding her waist, he tried to give her some warmth.

“Not really. It won’t be cold once we get in the car and head to the airport.” Looking at his distressed

expression, she was a little touched. He does look after me really well. I’m so lucky to be loved by him.

Deep down in her heart, she believed that the two of them would never be separated again. When she

reminisced about everything they had been through, she couldn’t figure out why she had fallen in love

with him, but at the same time, she was attracted by his every aspect.

When they arrived at the airport, the two of them went into a lounge while Tony looked around vigilantly.

After all, he already had the stalker’s face deeply imprinted in his mind, thus he wanted to see whether

the latter was among the crowd.

As for Myra, she remained relaxed with the situation. Then, he whispered next to her ear, “Don’t worry.

Even if the person is still following us, we need to act naturally.”

This time around, he was extremely alert toward the stalker as he couldn’t allow someone to follow

them unnoticeably yet again. After scanning through the crowd, he couldn’t see any sign of the stalker.

Instead, he found out that the people who were secretly protecting them were boarding the same plane

as them.

Having bought first-class tickets, the two were led to the first-class cabin while those who were on their

side were placed in the economy-class cabin. Since they were protecting the couple in secret, they

couldn’t make themselves stand out.

In the end, they safely arrived in Massachusetts before reaching their final destination—Cambridge.

Immediately, Myra could already guess where they were heading to.

Just as she expected, Tony brought her to his alma mater—Harvard University. This was his first time

coming back to the school since his graduation.

On the surface, it didn’t seem like there was anything special about Harvard University as it felt old and

simple, but the moment they stepped into the campus, the atmosphere was incomparable to that of

ordinary universities.

“This is where I’ve spent the best years of my youth.” While remembering the years of his twenties, he

was reminded of how passionate he was as well as how little he had known about the society back

then. At that time, he more or less had the dream and optimism of a young man.

This was where he left a mark during the best years of his life, so he smiled faintly while looking

around. As Myra stood next to him, their presence attracted the eyes of many people since he had

always been eye-catching.

“Bring me around,” she suggested.

Therefore, he led her all the way across the campus. In recent years, Harvard University had

undergone many changes, but he could still point out the department and dormitory that he stayed in

back then.

While quietly listening to him as he recalled his past, she realized how extraordinarily smart he was

since he had joined the university at a very young age, which explained why he was a lot younger than

his classmates back then.

“Were you homesick when you were alone abroad?” she asked curiously.

At first, he shook his head, but just a second later, he hesitantly nodded his head.

“I have already forgotten how I felt back then.” Frankly, he wasn’t certain whether he was actually

homesick at that time.

“Didn’t you feel a little uncomfortable when you came here all alone to further your studies as a rich

young heir? You had to do everything yourself.” Having tried to put herself in his shoes and learn what

it must have felt like to him, Myra was surprised that he actually lived in a dormitory at that time.

“If I could do it myself, I wouldn’t need to burden others.” However, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all

back then. Before, he didn’t need to do anything at home, but when he came to the United States, he

was required to do everything independently. This made him realize that not everything in life was as

simple as it seemed.

“That’s a pretty good mindset you have there,” she praised him. His adaptability is much better than

mine.

The two of them chatted while strolling through the campus. Harvard University was a big school, so

after a while, she grew a little tired.

Upon noticing this, Tony asked considerately, “Are you tired? Why don’t we find a place to rest for a

while?” Somehow, he always made the right choices whenever she felt uncomfortable; it was as though

he could read her mind.

The day turned out to be a fulfilling one for the two of them. While walking around his old school, she

felt as if she was accompanying him on a trip down memory lane.

On the way to the hotel, Tony said, “I want to bring you on a journey to my past.” Ultimately, he wanted

to tell her everything about him as he wished to be one with her as a person.

“Then, should I tell you about my past too?” Despite the fact that they had been together for so long,

she rarely mentioned her past. Even though she had a close relationship with Heather, she didn’t talk

much about it in front of him either.

“You should tell me when you feel like it. You don’t have to force yourself.” After all, Tony had only

taken the opportunity to tell her about his past since the ambience could not be more suitable.

In fact, she was actually joking with him just now; granted that she would often think of her past

recently, but she just couldn’t bring herself to tell him. Somehow, she felt that she had missed an

important part that she just couldn’t remember, but she didn’t dare to think about it, lest any messy

images start popping up in her mind.

While they still had a day left to spend on their trip, she wasn’t sure what Tony wanted to do with it

since most of his ideas were spontaneous. Without deviating from the general direction, he would

suddenly come up with an idea before tirelessly turning it into a feasible plan.

Almost every day, they would stay at different hotels and even in different cities, which was a refreshing

feeling that she liked. However, she would also miss Bradfort City from time to time. Even though they

were on a trip, she still missed her hometown because they were so far away.

“Where do you plan to go tomorrow?” Usually, he would plan tomorrow’s schedule the day before.

However, this time, he hadn’t had anything planned out yet. Perhaps he didn’t want to plan anymore.

“Tomorrow is the last day of our honeymoon. I’ve been thinking about how to conclude our trip

perfectly.”

Needless to say, Myra, too, wanted to know what excitement he would bring to her this time, but it

seemed like he didn’t even know it himself.

“Why don’t we let ourselves run wild one more time?” At the same time, he took out a world map that

she didn’t know when he had bought.

“We can go anywhere in the world. You just have to close your eyes and point to a place on the map.

We’ll go there tomorrow.” The world map he bought was very big and detailed. As he spread it open, it

took up almost half of the bed.

Immediately, she stared at him as if he was joking with her. Is he seriously asking me to simply point to

a place on the map? What if I point to a place where it’ll take us one day to arrive? Won’t we end up

spending the whole day on a plane?

“Are you sure?” Inevitably, she felt a little worried because it didn’t seem like he was joking with her.
