Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 96 Abandoned Again (Part One)

"Your wound is kinda deep," Molly said as she raised her head and met Brian's intense gaze on her. Suddenly realizing that she had over reacted, she said in embarrassment," I think you may need to bandage your wound."

Without the slightest trace of pain on his face, Brian pulled his hand back indifferently and took a slight glimpse on his wound. It was not something that he would make a fuss about. He shifted his gaze to Molly and said," Not a big deal. Just have your meal!"

His imperative and cold voice returned. He had come back to his senses from those deep and heavy thoughts a while ago.

Biting her lower lip, Molly gave up and went back to her seat. Brian beckoned the waiter to clear up the broken glass and serve their dishes. Molly suddenly turned her head to look towards her father's table, checking to see if the two men seated there noticed her presence because of her loud reaction a moment ago.

Behind the piano, Steven Xia lowered his head and talked to the man opposite him. The man, meanwhile, furrowed his brows while listening attentively.

Molly had no idea what they were talking about, but she wasn't in the mood to care about that anyway. She moved her gaze away and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the wound in Brian's hand once again. She paused and then, lowering her eyes, asked," Are you sure that you don't need to have it treated?"

"Are you worried about me?" Brian asked as he rested his black eyes on Molly.

Molly raised her head and looked at Brian's bleeding hand, and said," I would be worried about anybody with that wound, not to say... "

"Not to say what?" Brian asked after waiting for her to finish her words.

Molly met Brian's observant eyes which seemed to have read her mind thoroughly. She was scared of such look coming from him. She moved her eyes away, avoiding eye contact with him, and said coyly," I hate to say this, but I have to admit to the fact that you are the first, and so far, the only man that I have ever been intimate with."

Upon hearing her words, Brian's eyes glimmered with a dash of pleasure and his lips spread a sly smile.

When he heard Molly say that he was the first man she had been intimate with, he could feel his heart jumping with joy. However, the words "so far" somewhat sounded irritating to his ears.

"So far? Who else do you plan to be intimate with while you're with me?" Brian asked coldly.

His question agitated Molly. A gush of fury instantly flashed in her eyes. She stared at Brian and snapped," Even if I wish to, will you give me the slightest chance to do so?"

Brian grinned evilly and said coldly," Whether I give your the chance or not is not the point. The point is... if you would dare to do it, I'll make sure your life would be a living hell!"

His threatening words sent a shiver down Molly's spine. She felt the air around her turned colder than the chilly air outside the restaurant.

Her heart trembled. Although she knew that she wouldn't do anything unfaithful, she still felt great horror at the thought of his possible cruel punishment.

Suddenly, Brian's phone rang and vibrated and broke the tense atmosphere around them. Shifting his gaze away from Molly, Brian took out his phone and when he saw the name on the screen, his face instantly glowed with happiness.

Looking at the tender smile painted across his face, Molly felt somewhat distressed. She lowered her head and silently chewed on her food, which, though expensive, couldn't arouse a little bit of her appetite. Her attention shifted between her father's table and Brian's conversation on his phone.

"Okay, I'll go pick you up soon. Wait for me there. Don't go by yourself!"

Brian talked on the phone with evident concern and affection, which Molly had never heard him talk that way before.

She knew that it must be that sweet, elegant, and beautiful woman on the other end of the line again.

As soon as he ended the call, the usual cold look returned immediately to Brian's face. "Go back to the hospital when you're done. Don't go to the Grand Night Casino tonight. I will go to you after I finish my business later," said Brian plainly.

Then, he stood up and gave one last deep look at Molly, who had remained silent. After walking a few steps, Brian suddenly stopped and shifted his eyes to the two men behind the piano, and said coldly to Molly," If you don't want them to find out that you're here, then stay here for a while. Leave after them."

Afterwards, Brian then went straight to the door and left the restaurant.

The melodious music of the piano lingered around the restaurant, brightening up the mood of people inside.

Molly smiled, mocking herself. She then turned her head to look through the misty glass window and watched Brian's car drive away until it was completely out of sight.

Brian was indeed busy. He had to manage his work and try everything to keep her miserable, and at the same time, had to be busy with his girlfriend!

The wonderful music couldn't do anything to chase away her gloom. Molly kept looking out of the window, afraid that she would be seen by her father and the man opposite him. Their mere existence reminded her of the events that had happened to her many years ago, and her unfortunate fate in life.

With the past events flashing through her mind, Molly couldn't help but mock herself. She had always thought that she didn't care about it, after all, she was just a little kid during that time. She wasn't supposed to remember all those things as a kid, however, she was wrong. The memory actually stayed deep in her mind clearly. She had never forgotten what had happened.

Molly kept her posture unchanged in the seat, with her eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window. She didn't even know when Steven Xia and the man he had been talking to left the restaurant. It wasn't until that moment when she saw a red sports car stopped right outside the restaurant and a very familiar man got out of it, that Molly had finally come back to her senses.

It was Eric. Molly wanted to move her eyes away, but her eyes caught a woman getting out of his car too. Before she could see clearly who the woman was, Eric had held the woman's arm and then walked towards the restaurant's door.

Molly got nervous. She hastily lowered her head and prayed silently that Eric wouldn't notice her inside.

However, luck ignored her once again. As soon as Eric entered the restaurant, his evil eyes immediately noticed Molly's figure.

Furrowing his brows, Eric stared at Molly who seemed to be trying to keep herself foolishly invisible from him. Wondering, he muttered to himself," Why is she alone here?"

"What did you say?" The woman next to Eric widened her innocent eyes and asked," Eric, who are you talking about?"

After squinting at the woman beside him, he let go of her arms coldly and then walked straight towards Molly's table. Eric burst into laughter as soon as he saw Molly's funny face, as if it was saying," You can't see me. I am not here!"
