Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 311

Molly frowned.

She was surprised for a bit. But soon her expression softened slightly.

Brian came to pick her up. That was unexpected. She thought he might send Tony, but here he was as well. He wasn't a normal guy, and she knew that. He didn't do what people expected him to do, ever.

Thinking of this, Molly shrugged her shoulders and sat limply in her seat, resigning herself to her fate.

Brian saw this. He gradually turned colder. His inky-black eyes got dimmer as he got angrier. That night, Tony and Harrow had a meeting to discuss things. Originally, there was someone else that was supposed to pick up Molly. But Brian couldn't take the chance. When the chips were down, could the driver actually protect Molly? And he had promised Eric that he would protect her. What kind of man would he be if he let Molly down? If he let his brother down?

His temples pulsed subtly. His eyes grew deeper and deeper. He felt like a hand was crushing his heart. Swallowing his pride, he came to pick her up. Shouldn't Molly feel flattered? So why was she still stuck on this other guy?

Molly felt uneasy about Brian's deep gaze. She just frowned and looked back at him. She mouthed some words like she wanted to say something. But she did not know what she could say. Not to mention, she couldn't say anything. She just closed her mouth again, and then moved toward the door instinctively.

Brian got more and more exasperated. His handsome face gradually turned gloomy. The edge of his mouth curved a little. He held his hand out to Molly.

Molly looked at Brian's hand. She looked at it and could see something beyond the callouses. She could clearly see a cocoon in the slender, white hand. But the cocoon was not disfiguring. On the contrary, it had its own beauty. The beauty was born of experience. Molly laughed at herself. Why did she take the time to appreciate his hand right now?

She raised her head and looked at Brian with confusion. She was still trying to figure out why he was acting this way.

"Give me your cell phone," Brian said coldly. He looked at Molly indifferently.

Molly frowned and looked at him, becoming more and more puzzled. She slowly took the phone out of her backpack, and then carefully put it in Brian's hand...

Brian grabbed for the phone from her hands, not bothering to wait for Molly to let go of the thing. This was not merely taking it from her, it was a display of power.

Molly was startled. She just wanted her phone back. She reached out for it, but Brian blocked her hand with his free one. It was painful. And she recoiled, nursing her hand and glaring angrily at Brian.

Brian glanced at Molly, and then lowered his head and looked at the phone in his hand. His finger swept across the phone's screen. He swiped again and again as rows photos zipped in and out of sight. Suddenly, he came to the photo of the two snowmen. He stopped there, staring at the scene. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little thrill in his chest. He nearly forgot to breathe.

While he stared at the photo, a little hand reached out slowly. Brian's eyes slightly narrowed. He turned around suddenly and slapped Molly's hand away. Molly was cowed. She pulled her hands closer to her chest.

Brian seemed satisfied with her reaction. He gave a weak smile that faded quickly. Just as quickly he diverted his eyes to the screen again. Swiping again and again, he was scrolling it this time. Then...success! He found Edgar's number. Looking at the number, Brian grew angrier. In an instant, his eyes turned frosty. He looked at Molly. She was glaring angrily at him. Then he simply deleted the number.

Molly stared at Brian. What was he doing to her phone? Suddenly, she thought of the snowmen's photo in her phone. A nervous feeling took root inside her. Butterflies lived in her stomach. She reached out her hand and grabbed for her phone. But Brian turned, and her fingers just bounced off his shoulder.

Molly looked at Brian in outrage. She bit her lip and angrily stared at Brian with eyes on the verge of crying. And she felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Brian looked at her, and saw her turn ashen. This was totally unfair! "What's wrong? Pissed that I deleted it?"

Molly's eyelashes gently shivered. She had no idea what to expect from Brian anymore. They didn't live in the same worlds. She shouldn't be reluctant to leave him because he made her feel safe. In the snowy night, she said to him that she loved him. She wasn't kidding. Maybe it was because he was walking with her on a snowy night; or maybe his gentle words moved her... She had not ever imagined she would confess to him.

They'd lived together for more than a month. All her memories about him centered around that snowy night. She said she loved him that night as fluffy flakes fell all around them. They built snowmen together... Memories of her miserable life vanished for a time. All that mattered was that magical night in the snow. Why was he so cruel that he deprived her of the only happy memory she had?

Tears welled up in her eyes when she thought of this. Molly pressed her hands tightly together and looked at Brian with her red eyes. Because of the sadness, her lips trembled.

Looking at Molly's tears, Brian became even angrier. He was good at hiding his emotions and controlling himself. But now, his anger was plainly displayed on his face.

Looking at the rage in Brian's eyes, Molly mercilessly glared back at him. She tried not to let her tears fall any more. She just kept looking at him defiantly. He was the cruel one. Why did she need to feel guilty instead?
