Chapter 116 Being Lost (Part One)


    The seemingly endless darkness of the evening was filled with an eerie silence. Grey clouds covered


    the sky, hiding the stars amid them.


    Edgar stood, gazing out the window of his apartment, with one hand in his pocket. He didn''t bother to


    turn the lights on and the darkness of the night engulfed his surroundings.


    Jenifer trod towards him and glided her hands gently around his waist from behind. She was impatient


    and excited, and she was bursting to show her affection towards Edgar.


    Edgar furrowed his eyebrows at the distraction. He tore his gaze away from the night sky and looked


    over his shoulder indifferently. Without looking at her, he calmly said," Jenifer, it''s reallyte. You should


    go to bed."


    "Why aren''t you in bed?" Jenifer pressed her smooth face against Edgar''s solid back. She closed her


    eyes and greedily inhaled his body aura.


    With a morose expression, Edgar returned his attention to the dark sky once again. His demeanor


    seemed calm, but he was actually feeling as gloomy as the weather outside. His patience was running


    out, but maintaining hisposure, he repeated," You should go to bed."


    Jenifer pursed her lips, annoyed by the indifference in his attitude. When she opened her eyes, they


    were filled with dejection. But her vexed face was hidden by the dark of the room. She asked him


    cautiously," It looks like something is on your mind. Are you thinking about how to ban the casinos in A


    City?"


    Edgar narrowed his eyes dangerously and spoke to her in a low voice," There is no need for you to


    meddle in my affairs."


    Jenifer let go of Edgar and walked around to face him. Edgar wasn''t a very handsome man, but he


    possessed a unique charm which attracted others towards him. When he was a boy, he was the most


    attractive one within the militarypound, and all the girls, older or younger, were mesmerized by his


    looks.


    Since Jenifer and Edgar seemed to be a good match for each other and because their families were of


    equal social status with a good rtionship, most people who knew them believed that they made a


    perfect pair. But Edgar had his sight set only on Molly, the one who appeared out of nowhere to destroy


    the harmony within the militarypound.

    At the thought of Molly, Jenifer clenched her fists and fixed her eyes on Edgar. "It''s just that I care


    about you. After all, you hardly have one year left before you reach the deadline set between you and


    my grandfather. If you fail this year..."


    "Jenifer!" Edgar interrupted her and there was a touch of rage on his gentle face. "It was my decision to


    make and no matter what the oue is, I will have to endure it."


    What he said made Jenifer furious. She red at Edgar, gnashed her teeth and asked," You have done


    so much for her. Does she even know that? Does she deserve it?"


    Edgar locked eyes with Jenifer. His night vision training from the military enabled him to see her


    envious face all too clearly even through the darkness of the room. Then he shifted his gaze away from


    her with a calm face and said slowly," What I intend to do is up to me. I don''t need others to make the


    decision for me or to tell me what I should do."


    After saying that, Edgar swiftly turned around and walked away from her.


    "Edgar!" Jenifer was fuming with rage. She had defied her grandfather''s wishes toe here and be


    with him. All she wanted was to help Edgar finish his task as early as possible. But he had been staying


    here for almost half a month and he hadn''t made any progress other than the urban construction.


    Edgar stopped in his tracks and turned around to nce at her. "Jenifer, you should already know that I


    don''t like it when others meddle in my affairs. If you can''t refrain yourself from standing in my way, you


    should go back to Major General Zeng."


    Edgar quickly walked back to his bedroom. He took off his clothes in a swift motion and went into the


    bathroom. He let the warm water from the shower hit his tired body. There was sadness on his calm


    face.


    He had restrained himself from looking for Molly since he hade back to A City. But ever since he


    rescued her from that dangerous situation and held her in his arms, he couldn''t hold back his affection


    for her.


    The water dripped down his wet hair and traveled down his body. He suddenly looked very sullen.


    When he heard Brian say that Molly was his woman, he almost couldn''t restrain himself anymore.


    However, he didn''t dare to do anything reckless, because Jenifer''s father, Major General Zeng, had


    sent some people to keep watching him in secret.


    If he failed to finish his task just because he was indiscreet and careless, he might lose his career and


    Molly''s life would also be in danger.


    Edgar closed his eyes; his mind was exhausted. There was no one who could understand his feelings.


    He was distressed but had to pretend to look indifferent when he saw another man hold Molly in his


    arms.


    "Bang!"


    Edgar hit his fist against the wall. The sound was drowned out by the shower. He felt pain travel


    through his hand, but he still couldn''t distract his attention from the agony.


    When Edgar opened his eyes, he silently watched the red blood slide down the wet tile along with the


    water. At that moment, he felt utterly helpless.


    His heart was filled with darkness, just like the ck clouds of the night sky. But dawn would surely


    come and the sun would rise again. The gloomy weather made everyone morose and the whole city


    was shrouded in mist.


    However, the bad weather did nothing to restrain the enthusiasm of the fervent fans. The news that


    Park Shin Chun''s concert would be held at the Star Public Stadium that night was disyed on all of


    the screens throughout the shopping malls in A City. The famous superstar that he was, Park Shin


    Chun had thousands of fans ranging from eight to sixty years old. A previous survey showed that


    ording to women of all ages, he was the perfect picture of their ideal man and he was also the one


    whom most of the women wanted to sleep with.


    Molly watched the Star Entertainment''s reporter interviewing Park Shin Chun on the television. She


    thought he had a handsome face and an attractive smile to go with it. He calmly answered the


    reporter''s questions. Although he stood alone, people would abruptly be absorbed into an illusion that


    he had more than one shadow, making him very alluring indeed.


    "He is very handsome!" Lisa ced a cup of tea and some dessert on the table and nced at the TV


    which Molly was watching intently. "But not as much as Mr. Long and his father!"


    Molly diverted her gaze from the TV and looked at Lisa. Lisa nodded earnestly and said with a soft


    smile," Miss Xia, I know you haven''t seen Mr. Long''s father, but since Mr. Long is so good-looking, you


    can easily guess how handsome his father is."
