Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 44 Inexplicable Sympathy

"You.....what are you doing!" Molly shouted in outrage at Brian as she closed her lips tightly. Whatever was happening was beyond her expectations and she had no spontaneous idea about how to react.

"Molly, is this the way to behave with me? Do you know how much I've taken care of you these two days? This is not the right behavior for the lamb I require."Clearly, he wasn't angry with her reaction at all. Instead, his tone indicated dalliance and happiness.

He was looking at her deeply, as if he wanted to discover why she was so interesting and attractive. Molly was also looking at him, and discovered that there was a slight smile on his attractive face in spite of the coldness he pretended to have.

She looked at him, surveying him up and down, trying to figure out what he was thinking. But no matter how hard she tried, the mystery was incomprehensible to her. Controlling her temper, she asked directly," Are you mental or something? Do you have some disease or disorder like split personality?"

The question arose because the man had showed a highly volatile nature in just a few days. Sometimes he would be violent and cruel, and sometimes gentle and tender. It was like... you could never truly comprehend this man or understand his character. The mystery was, sometimes he acted like a desert whose boundaries could not be seen, and sometimes, like a vast ocean with all those underwater secrets and undercurrents one could not observe.

"What do you think?" The question itself brought another one on her.

To Brian, making fun of Molly was an interesting pastime, and gave him a lot of pleasure.He had been a bit upset and angry just now due to some other matters. But Molly's question had made him laugh under the table and he felt much better. The annoying matters from a few minutes ago now felt like a piece of cake.

Molly looked at him cautiously, thinking twice, thrice, or many times before saying," How about you giving me a small hint next time when you are in a bad mood? So I can behave properly."

Sneering on her request, Brian asked curiously," And what would you do after such a hint?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Although his words were peaceful, Molly sensed that if she didn't give the right reply, he was sure to get enraged and she had to bear the consequences.

"In the beginning, we met by accident. But now, I want to get along with you for as long as I am here. Anyway, you have helped me a lot and I appreciate that. The world is usually unfair, but I think we need to think fairly in this case. Since you've helped me, I should pay you back with what you want."

She had only planned on saying something nice to butter him up but when she opened her mouth, all her emotions and thoughts flowed freely from the heart. Leaning against the backrest, she closed her eyes to prevent her tears from bursting out. Her face was pale and helpless as she continued," Brian Long, I don't know how powerful or omnipotent you are. I am just an ordinary low-life girl, who can barely survive and has a hard life. I could never pursue what I desired or wanted."

He stared at her in silence. There was a mixed feeling arising in his heart, as he finally saw her genuine thoughts, which were filled with fear.

Giving a bitter smile, which made her dry lips crack, she said," These days, I've been thinking about why you want me as your woman. Is it really because of what happened that night? I mean a man as wealthy and powerful as you is sure to have an assortment of women available anywhere, anytime. But you chose me!"

The doubt and anger in her voice were increasing uncontrollably. When her eyes met his coincidentally, she saw they were stark black but calm and silent like a peaceful lake. Like an elegant gentleman, he was carefully listening to her with tenderness and seriousness.

She continued saying," You must have your own intention for selecting me as your woman. I don't know what your purpose is, but I have a feeling that you treat me kindly not because I am your woman but because you have some ulterior motive."

She panted as she had said it all in one breath, and also, she had been sleeping the whole time for the last two days due to high fever and was yet to recover. After trying to recover her inflamed throat, she continued," Nevertheless, I am not interested in your purpose. All I know is that I owe you 200 thousand dollars, so whatever you want me to do this month..."

She bit her lips, lowered his eyes as though she had finally given up, and said softly," I will do my best to fulfill your wishes. No matter what you want me to do!"

Suddenly she flushed as though it had taken all her strength to speak.

All of a sudden, Brian reached out his arm and held her close to his chest. He wanted to soothe her but Molly became stiff in his long arms, which made him frown. Both her reluctance and his own reaction were confusing to Brian.

He wasn't a sympathetic person and rarely ever embraced others. But Molly had become an exception. He had chosen her merely to enrage Becky, but now, it seemed things had changed totally beyond his imagination.He had no idea why he sympathized with her. Was it because her heartfelt communication had made him feel sorry for her?

The thought of such an emotion made him angry and his face slowly started regaining its coldness and indifference. Suddenly, he shoved Molly so fast she could not react to his sudden change. Then standing up hurriedly, he left the room.

While leaving, he slammed the door hard. Molly looked at it in confusion. She had no idea what had happened to him and mumbled to herself," That guy sure has a mental disease. Ten to one it is

schizophrenia!"

As Brian went downstairs, he saw Tony coming from outside, who wanted to greet him. Tony saw that Brian was enraged and upset and he had no idea why.

Before he could speak, Brain indifferently warned him, putting a hand in his jeans pocket," Don't follow me!"

He went to the parking area, and started the engine in his car. Shifting the gear quickly into drive, he drove away rapidly.

As his car was about to leave, a man's face showed up from the back of the tree, which was so thick that it would have taken three people to completely give it a hug. The man had witnessed what had happened outside the villa, and it had given him a gloomy smile and satisfaction.
