Chapter 373 The Pursuit of His Heart (Part Six)


    "You know, if only we could put all things on the table without any war, there could be a hope of fixing


    everything at once. Otherwise, there is no meaning of talking about Molly''s happiness, do you


    understand?" he continued with a striking tone.


    Even before Edgar could give his answer, Steven already went out of the room.


    It was a gloomy and cloudy day, as if the rain would fall at any minute. Steven walked along the streets,


    his mind was as heavy and dark as the clouds.


    His thought went on with him fully understanding that he''s not Molly''s biological father. But after so


    many years of raising her and living together with her, he had already treated her like his own in the


    deepest part of his heart.


    All these years, he kept ming himself for not protecting Sharon from the incident which made Molly


    come into life. He could not me her loathing Molly, seeing her as the oue of her own


    humiliation. But to him, he should never ever detest her. He had always been under the impression that


    it was his responsibility to take after her, protect her.


    It was after he met Brian that this idea appealed to him, gradually forming in his mind as a resolution.


    ''There might be hope, '' he thought. So he started his n, a long-term and borate n. He made


    himself into a bad person. He pretended to be addicted to alcohol and gambling, he even used her


    compassion to force her to be with Brian.


    All of it was part of his n. He was only doing it on purpose to finally release Molly and put her to


    safety.


    Otherwise, there is no doubt that she would be killed one day after being stuck in the riot and disarray


    of the different factions.


    As for Molly, death was her solution, a final and ultimate relief of her torture and hardship. However, to


    him, as a father, no matter how uneasy she got, he would never allow his daughter to be killed.


    No matter how much she should suffer, he would never let that happen.


    After a moment, Steven drew himself back from his recollection. He stood motionlessly for some time,


    contemting something. Over him, were the dingy and dullyers of clouds pressing down on the


    earth. There was almost no sign of sunlight. Everything was looming in the gloomy and hollow


    darkness. Suddenly, he sighed and fixed his eyes ahead. After a second, he stepped forward and


    strode straightly towards the ce where he would be meeting Justin.


    However, without his knowledge, the n that he had poured so much of his mind and sacrifices was


    gradually veered off from its own destination.

    At the park in the central area of the city, Molly suddenly stopped walking.


    There was something familiar about the ce. The stone-paved paths, the clean and beautiful small


    lake, the rows of flowers nted along the bank, all of it were familiar to her. Gradually, her eyes rested


    on a bench that stood under a willow tree. Her mind started to recollect her memory of this ce.


    "This music is called ''The Summer Breeze''. From now on, I will y it to you. It is exclusively for you,"


    a warm and beautiful smile crept up her face as she started her recollection of the past.


    Remembering how warmly Spark smiled at her when he said it to her, she was absorbed by his sweet


    and rich timbre once again. She sat down on the bench at the same end where she sat that time. Her


    eyes stared motionlessly at the other end of the bench. Her mind gradually disyed the happy and


    harmonious moment she had spent with Spark.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    With her eyes closed, her mind was filled with the tone of the music," The Summer Breeze", so vivid


    and clear, as if Spark himself was just sitting there, ying for her. Her tension and stress slowly faded


    away and dissolved into nothingness. She was calm and at ease now.


    Finally being at ease, she didn''t notice Brian was standing behind her. He had followed her all the way


    down to the park. At that moment, his face was tensed and unappealing. He was angry and bewildered


    at the same time. He had never been like this before. He was so out of his mind and out of his


    consciousness, only following after a girl, only thinking about a girl, as if he had been ced under a


    curse. He was also angry how his mind waspletely filled by her, but it seemed like he was of no


    importance to her at all.


    After finally noticing him," Brian," suddenly came Molly''s voice. Brian recoiled instinctively at the calling


    of his name. "You have never followed after a girl this far away, have you?" she asked.
