Chapter 259 Part Pretend To Be Strangers If We Ever Meet Again (Part Two)


    Brian regained hisposure, just as Vincent had expected. Things were getting way out of control.


    Not only Brian and Justin were involved, Dragon Ind was also at the center of this crisis. However,


    as an emerging political power, Dragon Ind could be weakened by this ident if it was not handled


    well. Mr. Richie Long would never let anyone harm Dragon Ind in any way.


    "As for the special force deployed by Justin..." Vincent hesitated before saying,"A band of our


    mercenary soldiers are good enough to teach them a lesson. As long as Justin is convinced that you


    won''t continue your investigation, I''m sure that he will call his dogs back when the disputes between


    the two factions and the past incidents are considered. But,"


    without a second thought, Vincent blurted out his worries,"I''m afraid that Molly may end up in some


    trouble, although we can''t predict what it would be."


    Brian rested his left arm on the armrest, and with his right hand, he rubbed his chin. There was a brief


    silence before he said,"Leave her to me. No harm wille to her. Besides, keep your eyes open till


    Richie gets back to XK Intelligence Agency. When Shawn is done with his mission in QY Ind, he will


    be needed in Four-Nine City."


    "Understood!" Vincent answered and Brian ended the call.


    Tony sighed. Seeing the couple in a silent embrace, his face became more serious. Considering the


    current treacherous situation, he had no idea what Brian was thinking. Brian knew that Molly had gone


    home to see her parents as soon as he saw her at the gate of the vi. He had also guessed Steven''s


    intentions. As for Rory''s acknowledgment that Molly was his daughter, Brian suspected Rory''s true


    motives behind the action. Rory was indeed set up by Justin back in the old days and Donna had


    asked the doctors to run the DNA test to prove that Molly wasn''t Rory''s daughter.


    Tony drooped his eyes and pondered what Brian might be thinking. Becky wasing back, which was


    what Brian had so desperately wanted in the first ce. Molly would leave the vi soon. The cold-


    blooded Mr. Brian Long shouldn''t have cared about Molly''s safety. Tony had believed that that was the


    case ever since the moment they had left the Grand Night Casino. However, he felt a certain


    uneasiness about Brian''s motives in the long run.


    Brian and Molly broke their embrace. She awkwardly hid her sad eyes. "Tell me, what''s wrong?"


    Molly pouted and shrugged her shoulders. Then, she smiled and typed some words on her mobile


    phone and showed them to Brian,"Bri, can I cook for you tonight?"


    Brian''s heart ached when he saw her tear-stained cheeks and the stubbornness in her sparkling eyes


    which was born from her suffering over the past years.


    Before Brian could say anything, Molly took his hand and walked towards the vi. A cold wind blew


    from the east and her hair swayed gently. Brian took in the fragrance of her hair, and felt a tingling on


    his cheek. He forgot everything else and let Molly walk him into the vi.


    Tony didn''t move or say a word. He watched their interaction and was confused about what was


    happening between Molly and Brian. Harrow''s words suddenly urred to him. He couldn''t help but


    frown. If Brian had fallen in love with Molly, it wouldn''t end well for anybody. Becky was expected to


    come back soon. Besides, Justin would cause trouble for Brian.


    Brian sat on the stool at the bar table, holding a cup of wine and shaking it gently. He gazed out of the


    window at the darkening night. There were some things that he still hadn''t figured out.


    He heard noises from the kitchen and nced in the direction. His heart skipped a beat, as if he were


    stabbed by a blunt knife. He had this feeling in his heart like somebody was about to rob him off


    something precious.


    Molly moved quickly. And before long, she had four main dishes and a soup, along with in boiled


    rice ready to be served. She waved at Brian, indicating that dinner was ready.


    Brian put down his ss and walked to the dining table. He saw that the dishesid out on the table


    were those he loved most. He noticed that she didn''t use any coriander in the soup because he disliked


    it. Brian sat down at the table and looked at Molly. She giggled like a schoolgirl, typed some words and


    showed them to Brian.


    "Aunt Shirley told me that you liked having simple home-cooked meal. She said that as long as the


    dishes were cooked at home by your family, you would love them. So, I cooked with those words in my


    mind. Dig in and tell me if you like them or not."


    Brian read those words and felt some kind of warmth building within him. He took the chopsticks from


    Molly''s hands and put some of the food into his mouth. He could see that Molly was extremely anxious


    to know how he felt about her cooking. After chewing the food and swallowing it slowly, he gave a snort


    andmented,"Not bad, but it is still not as good as Shirley''s cooking."


    Molly didn''t mind Brian saying that her cooking skills were inferior to those of Shirley''s. She pouted


    yfully, took her chopsticks and started to eat. While eating, she would spoon some food and put it


    into Brian''s bowl. She would also put her own bowl in front of Brian, asking him to do the same for her.


    But, Brian wouldn''t respond. Molly would insist and finally Brian wouldpromise by picking up some


    food with his chopsticks and putting it into Molly''s bowl. Both of them were rxed and delighted as


    they ate the home-cooked dinner.


    As the night fell, everything around them fell into total silence. But dawn would soon arrive. Time was


    fair to everybody, regardless of whether they were happy or sad the night before.


    Molly stayed awake all night. When morning came and the first light prated through the thick


    clouds and fell over thend, she put down her pen and stared at the paper in her hand with watery


    eyes. A bitter smile appeared on her face. She put the piece of paper under the pot of flowers in her


    bedroom.


    Molly stood up and fumbled around in her bag for Brian''s credit card and her mobile phone. Before she


    put them both on the table, she held her phone back for another look.


    She flipped it open. The wallpaper on her mobile screen was a picture of her and Eric standing before


    the snowmen. She nced at the picture and smiled bitterly. Her fingers slid across the screen and she


    opened the photo album. There was only one picture in the album, the snowman picture which she had


    sent to her phone with Brian''s phone.


    She looked at the simple snowmen. Her nose itched and her eyes reddened. She raised her head and


    had to forcefully refrain herself from sobbing. She took a deep breath, took one final nce at her


    phone, then turned it off and put it inside her bag.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
