Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 363

Eric smirked when he sensed anger rising in her. He didn't answer her question. He said, "I'm taking physical therapy later. And you will accompany me."

He wasn't asking. He just decided on his own. Seeing Molly's slight frown, Eric raised one of his eyebrows and said, "I didn't take therapy yesterday because I was worried about you and didn't leave your side."

Molly was going to refuse him. But upon hearing that, she couldn't refuse his demand anymore. After all, it was because of her that he couldn't get to his therapy session. So she just nodded in agreement.

A trace of slyness flashed through Eric's eyes. He was very happy. But there was something else which was hidden behind those sly eyes which nobody could tell.

'Little Molly doesn't like Becky, does she?' Eric thought to himself.

Eric's smile widened. He didn't care anymore about Brian being aware of his feelings for Little Molly. Right now, he had to focus on earning Little Molly's heart. And more important than that, he had to make Little Molly reject Brian first.

Molly watched as Eric did the exercises as instructed by his physical therapist. That kind of physical therapy was not easy on him. But still, every time he turned around to look at Molly, there was always a teasing smirk on his face. His smile made him look just like a big bad boy. And seeing his smile lifted Molly's mood.

"Eric's smile is more infectious than Brian's."

A gentle voice came from behind her. Molly quickly turned around to look in the direction of the voice. Her eyes almost bulged out when she saw Wing. "Miss Long?!"

Wing withdrew her gaze from Eric and turned to look at Molly. She smiled sweetly at her and said, "Please, just call me Wing."

Wing seemed very different from when she was on stage. She seemed more laid back and more at ease in person. And Molly wasn't really used to it. But Wing also had that optimistic atmosphere around her just like Shirley did. This feeling made Molly want to be close to her. Molly couldn't help but smile back and say, "Okay, Wing."

"I've only been gone a few days and all of you have ended up in the hospital somehow!" Wing teased them. She looked at Eric, who was eagerly waving his hand at her. She shouted to him, "Eric, do you mind if I borrow your Little Molly for a moment?"

Eric immediately tensed. He had a bad feeling about letting Little Molly be alone with Wing. He wasn't sure what Wing would tell Molly in his absence. So he answered, "Yes, in fact, I do mind."

"Well, I'm stealing her whether you like it or not!" Wing raised her chin and smiled slyly at Eric. "Continue your therapy without us. And by the way, we will be going out for lunch later. So, say good-bye to Molly now."

And before Molly could even realize what was happening, she was dragged out of the therapy room. Eric shouted indignantly from behind them, but Wing just turned and gave the very angry Eric a big smile.

The dessert shop.

Molly drank her warm milk-tea as she watched Wing enjoy her piece of cake. Molly could almost feel her happiness just by watching her eat the delicious cake. Wing was really like Aunt Shirley. They both loved the mousse cake to death. It looked like they could eat it for the rest of their lives.

"Molly, who do you think is a more suitable lover, Brian or Eric?" Wing raised her head and asked out of nowhere.

"What?" The sudden question caught Molly by surprise.

Wing put down the fork in her hand and snatched a napkin to elegantly wipe her mouth. She looked at Molly with a smile on her face. Then, she casually turned her phone over in her lap before she asked again, "Between Brian and Eric, who do you think is more suitable to be a lover? And by lover, I mean the kind of lover who would be with you forever."

Molly furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Wing in confusion. She didn't understand why Wing was asking her this. Besides, she didn't think that she was that familiar with Wing to discuss a sensitive topic like this. Moreover, it was a question about Brian and Eric. She was at a loss for words.

Wing hadn't really expected Molly to answer her question. She picked up her cup of milk-tea and sipped it. Then she looked at Molly with her big, honest eyes and said, "Eric is outgoing and infectious. But at the same time, he also gives off a dangerous aura. And this combination makes it hard to resist him. On the other hand, Brian is almost cold-blooded. He only does things the way he likes and never backs down for anybody. It's quite depressing being around him. And it's also annoying that he is such a selfish and arrogant asshole who never shows his emotions on his face. It's like he thinks nothing of anybody except himself. And this kind of man is not suitable to be a good lover at all. It would be better if he ended up being alone all his life."

The more Wing talked, the more Molly's frown deepened. It looked like Wing wasn't planning on stopping her explanation about the men. So, Molly gently bit her lip and mumbled, "Why are you talking about your own brother like that?"

"Don't get me wrong. I don't mean it in a bad way. It is what it is. I'm merely stating the fact. And I am right about Brian. Don't you think so too?" Wing hummed.

"Yeah...I guess you are right." Molly was a bit unhappy hearing Wing's words, but she didn't have the right to tell her off. She didn't like hearing Brian being judged like that even though it was by his own sister, so she added softly, "But, he can be really gentle sometimes. He is just using his cold attitude to hide how lonely he really is. Besides, it feels very secure being around him. Only a man who is really responsible can make someone feel secure."

The corners of Wing's mouth slowly lifted into a big grin after hearing Molly say those words with her head hanging down. There was a glint of interest in her big clear eyes. "Really? He acts gently sometimes? Are you sure? Because I have never seen him be gentle towards anyone."

"Yes, he does!" Molly raised her head to defend Brian. But when she saw the grin on Wing's face, she suddenly realized that she was tricked by her. Her drastic defense showed her feelings about Brian clearly. "Wing..."

"Molly, are you in love with Brian?" The grin on Wing's face disappeared and she looked pretty serious now. She stared at Molly with intense eyes.

"I..." Molly bit her lip, and then the corners of her mouth turned into a bitter smile, "Yeah. I am in love with that arrogant bastard who doesn't even care about me. I am in love with a man who gives me a home and the feeling of warmth, and then takes it all away. I'm head over heels for him. But so what? We don't belong in the same world. Besides, he is in love with someone else. And I... I am bound to leave one day."
