Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 356 Do You Know What Love Is (Part One)

Molly choked up at the sound of Brian's low and magnetic voice.

Her eyes turned red in an instant, her nose became a little bit dry, and her lips trembled.

She blinked her eyes to keep her tears from falling.

Brian held Molly tight. He had never thought that he, who had always been so distant and aloof, would be so thrilled when he heard Molly called him "Bri." His heart seemed to leap out of his chest at that moment. Overwhelmed with excitement, he said, "Mol, call me again, will you?"

Molly touched Brian's wound, but his injury was not that serious, or not grave enough to stimulate her to talk. Therefore, if Brian wanted to get her to talk, he should come up with something severe enough to stimulate her to speak.

When she saw the blood in his fingers, she spoke in a moment of worry. To his surprise, the first thing she said was his name. When he heard her voice, he thought he heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Realizing this, he started to think, 'Since when did I care so much about her?'

Molly blinked while her mouth trembled, trying not to cry. She whispered in a hoarse voice, "Bri..."

Brian's heart became even more excited when he heard his name again in a low whisper. A smile slowly formed in his face. His smile was so genuine that it seemed to freeze in time, which was something quite hard to forget.

Brian thought that he was trying to get her to talk, just because he wanted to fulfill his promise to her. But at that moment, however, he found out that he really wished she could speak not just because of some promise.

"Bri..." Molly finally couldn't help but cry. Her tears drenched Brian's shirt. Although her voice was still a little hoarse, she said happily, "Bri, I can... I can talk now."

"Yes, you can talk now." Brian responded quickly as his eyes deepened, and some hidden joy could be seen in his eyes.

Molly sniffed as she laughed and wept uncontrollably. An overwhelming feeling of excitement, happiness, and joy ran through her. Molly could not help but lean towards Brian and instinctively put her arms around him. However, when she got close to him, she found that his wound had just opened because she had applied too much force.

Molly stood up and looked at Brian's left shoulder with tears, and said anxiously, "Your shoulder..."

"I'm fine." Molly's tears wet her eyes. Brian looked at Molly affectionately and then kissed her gently in the eye. When he tasted Molly's salty tears, he felt his heart almost stopped beating.

'Molly, how can you control my emotions so easily?'

Brian slowly closed his eyes and kissed Molly's lips with his thin lips. Molly said nothing and didn't resist. Her heart trembled as their lips touched each other's. She thought to herself, 'Since I can't refuse him, why don't I just enjoy this moment?'

With complex emotions, the two people who were searching a sense of security and peace, entangled together, and lost in each other's tenderness. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

At Sunset Town

After Sharon's routine exam, the doctor left the family alone in their room.

Daniel had been quiet since he lived on the farm. It was a holiday and he had nothing to do. Fortunately, there were many books in the house. So, apart from taking care of Sharon and worrying about Molly, he let the time pass by reading books every day.

Steven sat on the sofa with a half-burned cigarette in his hand. The whitish ash on the cigarette looked so fragile as if it would fall anytime.

After a while, the cigarette was more than half burnt already before Steven remembered to snuff out the cigarette in the ashtray. He looked at Daniel, who was reading quietly, and walked out of the room with a serious look on his face.

Daniel turned his eyes from the book to Steven with an obvious resentment in his eyes. An undisguised anger was written on his young face as he looked at Steven's disappearing figure.

Their family was brought here when their mother was ill for a reason nobody had told them. This was a big place. They were free to do anything they want here; however, they were not allowed to leave the farm or communicate with anyone from the outside. In this way, they were isolated from the outside world. In short, they were under house arrest.

The more Daniel thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help putting his book down then and went out of the room to catch up with Steven.

Seeing Daniel came out with an angry face, Steven frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"How much longer are we going to stay here?" Daniel asked, gritting his teeth.

Steven just shook his head, indicating that he did not know. As a matter of fact, he was very anxious, because he had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He was worried that the plan which he had worked on for years might not succeed. He didn't want to spoil it and let all of it put into waste.

"Dad, did you....?" Daniel asked abruptly.

"What?"

"Did you mess up with someone again? I mean, did you bring trouble to Molly?" Daniel stared angrily at Steven and added, "Are they keeping us here on the farm to blackmail her?"

"Who told you?" Steven asked in surprise.

"Hmm!" Daniel said, "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm old enough to know what's going on."

Steven looked at his son, who had been utterly dissatisfied with him, but he was determined not to explain anything.

"Dad, do you still care about what happened back then?" Daniel asked the question even though he already knew the answer. "Can't you just let it go after all these years? Do you have to sacrifice my sister to redeem your reputation?"

"Daniel!" Steven said angrily, "You are a child. You don't know anything!"
