Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 226

The thin glass brim grazed Brian's hand.

His blood from the cut flowed slowly into the wine along the glass and the rust-like smell mixed with the aroma of the wine.

The mixed odor enveloped the air, making the situation more dire and awkward. Molly could not tell what her real feelings were anymore.

She was taken aback by his sudden action and her small mouth opened slightly. Her bright, beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the blood permeating from his hand. She was so stunned that she could not react for a while.

But Brian did not move. He ignored his bleeding hand as though it didn't hurt him at all. He eyed Molly with his eagle-like eyes as if she was the prey that he desired but could never get his hands on. Seeing her surprised facial expression, he was overwhelmed by complicated emotions, which even he could not sort out. He felt irritable, jealous as well as annoyed. But he tried to hide these feelings under the gloom of his eyes so that no one would know what he really felt.

Molly gulped slowly because of the tense atmosphere. She looked up from Brian's hand gingerly and found his face covered in anger. All his strange actions scared her. At that very moment, she truly felt that Brian was a lunatic.

Resentment and grief gripped her, along with immense exhaustion. She was outraged, but could not let it all out. She gasped for air harder. Everyone had their limits, so did Molly.

What was wrong in wanting to go back home?

Why he was so angry for that?

She could not even talk. All she wanted was to just go home as early as possible to get some comfort and consolation. Was that wrong?

After a round of tiring thoughts, she felt a lump forming in her throat. Molly was at her limits and she wanted to burst open and cry her heart out. She even forgot that she did not want her family to know that she could not talk temporarily. She was worried about her father. She always wondered if something bad had happened to her dad, although he had done so much to hurt her. They were family. And nothing could change that fact.
