Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 220

Brian kept on staring at the words flashing on the phone screen motionless. When the screen dimmed automatically, he still didn't shift his gaze off the screen.

Molly stared at Brian. He had a handsome and attractive profile and always wore a cool and indifferent expression. Every time when she gazed upon him, she always felt he had an impersonal, freakish vibe like some fairy-tale character. What's more, his arrogance and aggressiveness were so off-putting and easily noticeable that anybody could tell.

"Bri!"

Molly called him in silence. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to call him this way. By sheer coincidence or using telepathy, Brian turned around to look at her in the meantime.

This time Molly didn't avoid; she looked straight into Brian's eyes. She didn't know why. When she had been drugged and fainted yesterday, she had not been as scared as she had imagined. It seemed as if she had known that she'd pull through just fine. Maybe it was because like the proverbial cat with nine lives she had survived danger far too many times and she was used to it, or maybe it was her confidence in Brian coming to her rescue.

Waking up in the morning, Molly saw Brian's handsome face as soon as she opened her eyes. At that moment, she must have been relieved.

Fluttering her eyelashes, Molly licked her lips. Even though she knew he'd play his usual games, she still couldn't stop dreaming about the rosy things she knew he'd never agree to.

When her eyes misted because she had gone off into wild flights of fancy, a rough finger tip touched her face, gently stroked it from her cheek all the way to the corner of her cute mouth. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Brian seemed to fancy this little trick, which Molly knew was nothing but a pretense of geniality. Because when she looked into his deep, cold eyes, any illusion she might have had about his friendliness was shattered again.

With a quiet sigh, she took the cell phone from Brian's hand, lowered her head, quickly typed a message and gave the phone back to him.

Brian read with raised eyebrows,"I was just kidding you. Even if I really become mute, I will only blame myself. It is my fate. I will definitely not blame you for it."

Trying her best, Molly hid the complex emotions in her heart, forced a smile and looked at Brian with crystal-like clear eyes.

Without paying much attention, Brian cast a passing glance at the words on the phone screen, and then looked at Molly again. But the moment he noticed a smile on her lips and a sparkle in her eyes, his gaze turned intense again. So charming, so beautiful her eyes were, you'd think they were stars waiting to light up the sky at nightfall.

He stopped stroking her face with his fingers, seriously gazed at her and said in a deep and husky voice,"I promise I won't let you become a mute!"

For the time being, his promise might not have meant much for both of them. But neither of them could have expected that something quietly started to change.

After Tony procured the prescribed drugs from the doctor, Brian went straight to the QY Island airport with Molly. On arrival, they ran into Shawn unexpectedly. Brian exchanged a look with Tony, and Tony immediately understood his intention and accompanied Molly to board first.

After looking at Molly, who was about to board, Shawn cut Brian a glance, his cunning intentions concealed by a veneer of enchantment, and said,"You seem to care a lot about her!"

"Do I?" Curtly Brian asked in reply.

Shawn stopped teasing, put on a serious look and asked with concern,"Becky will be back sooner or later. What are you going to do with her then?"

"You mean Molly?" Almost sneering, Brian replied nonchalantly,"She's just a plaything for me!"

Taking another barb to his words, Shawn smiled and commented,"No one talks about an unimportant plaything all day long."

An agitated Brian frowned and scornfully shot back,"Do you really think she is special to me?"

"Isn't she?" Shawn asked in return.

A rare smile crossed Brian's face. He seldom smiled. And if he did, it always was scornful, cold. Even now, although you'd think it was a warm, wide smile, he was disdainful all the way. He then said,"Becky is mine. And nobody can take her away from me. Not even Eric!"

Sensing it was desultory cheap talk he had started, Shawn knit his eyebrows tightly. Inwardly he reprimanded himself and wondered why he had thought he'd pin Brian down over such trifles at the moment.

"Eric is so conceited and obsessed about competing with me. Especially so for the woman, I love," Brian said dismissively. Then he turned his eyes ahead to Molly, who was standing at the door of the cabin. As if on cue, Molly turned around just then, cast him a glance, and walked straight into the cabin.

"Do you mean to take advantage of Molly to divert Eric's attention?" Shawn asked. But Brian simply ignored him. Shawn sighed in his heart. He couldn't be more familiar with the possessive look in Brian's eyes when he gazed at the woman standing at the door of the cabin. It was almost the same look as Richie had had in his eyes that year. He then said thoughtfully,"When it comes to love, there will be many unexpected things."

In response, Brian said coldly,"Don't mind my private life anymore. Pay more attention to how you can rake in as much profits as possible from Aaron!"

"How about being friends with him, besides business and profits?" Shawn asked, raising his eyebrows.

"You can make friends with him, but that doesn't have to come at the expense of getting the best bargains for XK Intelligence Agency!" Nonchalantly Brian replied, and then without saying anything more, he walked straight to the plane.

"Bri..." Shawn's voice came from behind, but Brian didn't stop. Despite his arrogance, Shawn continued,"In your affections and obsessions with women, I'd advise that you leave some space for yourself. Otherwise, you might regret when things don't work out!" It seemed more like a worry than a warning.

'Regret?'

Unmoved, Brian's mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. He then stopped, turned around and stared at Shawn, whose face had a girlish smoothness. Narrowing his sharp eyes, Brian said arrogantly,"I've never regretted anything in my life. If there is any chance, I'd like to have a try!"

Before Shawn could say anything more, Brian went straight and boarded. Shawn didn't move until he saw the plane take off and disappear into the endless blue sky. He sighed and murmured to himself,"You even killed people because of Molly, who you described as a plaything. Are you just that cold blooded? Or are you just fooling yourself as well as the others?"
