Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 395

By the time Molly woke up, it was already noon, three days after she had fallen asleep in Brian's arms.

After the stressful week she had been through, she hadn't gotten enough sleep. Her body was very weak. And on top of it, she was 'tortured' by Brian the other night. What had happened that night had worn her out, so she ended up sleeping like a baby in his arms.

Molly opened her eyes with difficulty and squinted at her surroundings. Her eyes were red and sore. She looked around, but she couldn't see anything clearly. When her eyes could finally focus, she looked sideways to see if Brian was still next to her. But he wasn't there; there was nobody around.

Molly sat up. She found all her clothes, folded and placed neatly on the chair. Immediately, she blushed and her cheeks became as red as a rose. She looked around again, then quickly grabbed the clothes and put them on even though she was sore all over and felt uncomfortable moving her body.

After Molly got dressed, she went to the bathroom to wash up quickly. Then, she stepped out of the ward.

"You are up,"

a deep voice said from behind her as she was closing the door. Molly was surprised by the voice and turned to look. She saw Brian, Eric and Tony walking towards her.

"I, I..." Molly felt embarrassed. She looked at Eric, who was now walking with the help of a crutch and was already standing in front of her. She reflexively took a step back and lowered her eyes.

Seeing her blushed face, Brian's black eyes darkened, "A doctor will be here to check your eyes soon."

Molly looked up at Brian with her bloodshot eyes. She looked at his sunken face and asked quickly, "Are you okay?"

With a cold little smile, Brian said, "Yes, I'm okay. I've recovered."

"Recovered already?" Molly was shocked. She didn't believe him at all.

Brian didn't say anything further. He took her hand and walked away before she could ask anything else. As they walked past Eric, Brian said coldly, "I'll take Mol to get something to eat."

Eric turned around to look at Molly as the lift doors closed. It was not until the doors had finally closed that he withdrew his eyes from her. Then he asked Tony, "Is Uncle Richie coming over?"

"No one has the guts to tell Mr. Long about what had happened to Mr. Brian Long," Tony replied.

"Okay," Eric said and walked with his crutch, "Dad is not gonna stand by and do nothing even though Brian wants to deal with this by himself. And now, Mr. Shen has gone to jail as well. Sooner or later, Uncle Richie will know everything."

For a minute, Tony said nothing. Looking at Eric's back, he finally asked, "Mr. Eric Long, what are we gonna do?"

Eric stopped and turned to look at Tony. He smirked, "Why don't you ask Brian about it?"

Tony frowned and muttered something to himself. Then he said to Eric, "That day, Mr. Brian Long had ordered us to get Daniel out and he decided to fight against the enemies on his own. All he did was get us backed into a corner, but it looks like he is not worried about this whole situation at all. So, he's not gonna do anything about this."

Eric smiled, "And what makes you think I'm gonna do something about it?"

Tony frowned and opened his mouth to answer, but closed it without saying a word.

Eric turned and walked towards the elevator. He pushed the elevator button and waited. The door opened and he walked in. He pressed the top floor button, then leaned against the wall panel of the elevator.

He thought, 'Brian has done everything to set things right. He used me, but he has also made sacrifices himself. Maybe he had expected that Mr. Shen would come to their rescue.'

He snorted.

The elevator stopped and he headed directly to the office.

'What he did that day has made things worse.

If this whole business with Molly and her family isn't fixed soon, it's only going to cause them more problems. Brian is not a troublemaker, but if someone caused him trouble, he would immediately shred the source of that trouble as soon as possible. But...'

Slowing his pace, Eric's lips curled into a sneer, 'Now that he's sure how he feels about Little Molly, he must want to help her get out of this mess. And she's better left in the dark when it comes to her biological father.'

After walking into the office, Eric sat down and turned on the monitor. Even though Brian wanted him to stay out of his business, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. He must let Brian know that he absolutely wanted Little Molly to be his woman.

All these years, he had been fighting Brian over whatever he liked. It was because he knew that his dad didn't love his mom enough. His mom was happy, but her happiness never included his dad's love for her. Therefore, as her son, Eric always hated Shirley. But he couldn't let it show. So, he took his anger out on Brian and tried to take away the things that he liked from him.

A rueful smile appeared on Eric's face. He never thought that he and Brian would end up falling in love with the same girl, just like his father and Uncle Richie had.

Eric's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

He glanced quickly at the blank monitor and then answered the door.

Lenny walked into the office with a few documents. She handed them to Eric and said, "I've sent a copy of this to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Minister said that all of this would be presented at the court-martial this afternoon.

"Good," Eric replied indifferently.

A worried look appeared on Lenny's cold, beautiful face, "Young Master, are you sure you want to make this happen?"

Eric laughed out loud. Raising his eyebrows at her, Eric said, "Lenny, if I don't do something, I'm going to lose this fight to Brian. With these documents in play, Uncle Richie and Dad would finally interfere in this whole business. And that's going to be a whole new ball game."

"Is it worth it?" Lenny asked. But she regretted it as soon as she asked that. She was the Young Master's shadow, she was not entitled to question his decisions.

The smile on Eric's face disappeared, and there was a fierce look on his face, "I don't care! All I care about is Molly. I want her to be mine. And I'll try to win her heart before it's too late."

Lenny's heart sank. She was shocked by his words. She had never seen Eric act this way. 'He has changed. He's not the same. He's doing things differently this time. And it's Molly who has changed his character.

He has become cruel and violent. '
