In A City, standing in front of the French window of the villa, Molly stared silently at the snowflakes
flying in the air. The window was slightly covered with frost and it was getting dark outside, so Molly
couldn't see everything clearly. Everything was covered in white. It had been days since the snow had
kept on falling and the ground was already blanketed in thick snow!
"Miss Xia, dinner is ready!" Lisa's voice interrupted Molly's serene thoughts. She kindly looked at
Molly's frail figure with a sigh.
Molly drew her gaze away, turned around and politely nodded at Lisa with a smile. Seeing so many
dishes on the table, Molly frowned and said," Lisa, I can't eat so much..."
"Mr. Long said that you were too thin and frail, and he told me to prepare more nutritious food for you,"
Lisa politely replied with a smile on her face.
Without saying anything else, Molly just flashed Lisa a smile and watched her turn around and leave.
After that, she fixed her eyes on the table with her mouth slightly puckered.
Three days had passed since she came back from the hospital. She hadn't seen Brian since then. He
was always out of the house and seemed very busy these past few days. He went out early every day
and then came back late at night when she was asleep. They lived in the same house, but she didn't
have any chance to see him.
Molly had to stay in the villa every day, like a sparrow locked up in a cage. Although Brian hadn't told
her whether she had her freedom or not, she didn't dare to make a bet and suffer. She was afraid of
this ruthless man!
Looking at the food on the table, Molly sat silently and pondered.
She never had the desire to live such a luxurious life. She had to work really hard before, yet it had
been a busy and fulfilling life. Now, she felt as though she was just wasting away her days in this villa,
not doing anything.
If not for the fact that it was temporary and the hope that she could finally leave after a month, Molly
might have ended up a mad woman.
Except for Molly, there was no other people in such a large house, which made her feel so lonely. She
slowly ate the food, but quickly lost her appetite despite the generous and mouthwatering servings.
Glancing at the delicious food, she finally put down her chopsticks. After putting on her coat, hat and
scarf, Molly went out of the house.
In rhythmical footsteps, Molly stepped on the snow carefully. Like many lovely fairies, the snowflakes
flew around her. Some fell on her face which made her feel cold. She trembled every time the wind
blew and the cold pierced through her body.
With a little smile on her face, Molly trembled with cold and glanced around. It was quiet there. While
looking at the thick snow, her eyes lit up. Then she squatted down to push the snow.
"The snowflakes are flying... The snowflakes are flying..."
Molly hummed a nursery rhyme in a low voice while pushing the snow happily. When she was very
young, her mother and father always took her and Daniel outside to make snowmen. However, it soon
stopped after her father had got addicted to gambling. They didn't have time for those kinds of
moments anymore. All that was left were just memories.
Furrowing her eyebrows, Molly sighed gently when she gazed at the snowman's round belly. Then she
began to make the snowman's head. She kept her eyes and hands busy while thoughts ran through
her mind.
Since she had no way to escape there for a month, she might as well face everything positively. In that
way, she could at least help her father repay the money. And perhaps, Brian might not treat her badly!
Molly persuaded herself to look on the bright side of her situation. She raised her eyebrows, stood up
and placed the snowman's head on its body. After that, she took off her hat and scarf, placed them on
her snowman and looked at her masterpiece with a slight smile.
"Eyes and nose..." Muttering under her breath, Molly slightly frowned as there were no eyes and nose
for the snowman. Unknowingly, someone had been observing her for a while but Molly was too busy to
notice.
Brian stood in the distance, with Tony behind him. They had been there since Molly started to make the
snowman's head.
He wore a faint smile as he watched Molly make the snowman happily. "Find everything she needs and
bring them here!"
Tony didn't say a word and kept silent at that moment. Perplexed by Brian's words, Tony looked at
Molly and the snowman in the distance, and then began to realize what Brian meant. After a brief reply,
he left for the villa.
With one hand in his pocket, Brian walked towards Molly quietly. Quite displeased because the
snowman had no eyes and nose, Molly didn't notice that someone was approaching her. Feeling that
someone was watching her, Molly began to realize that Brian was there, standing behind her back.
Utterly surprised, Molly turned her head to look at him.
"You're back?" Molly spoke in astonishment.
Though she hadn't seen Brian for three days, she was still afraid of him. She didn't feel scared to live
with him in the same house, but she got really nervous and frightened every time she met him.
Without answering her question, Brian raised his hand and smoothened Molly's hair which was a bit
messy and tangled up. After that, he spoke slowly," Lisa told me that you ate too little during dinner?"
Molly got anxious and her breath intensified as Brian treated her like that. Holding back the impulse to
keep away from him, she replied in a low voice," I wasn't so hungry..."
"Was it because you were eating alone? Hmm?" Brian asked gently with his voice pure of affection.
Upon hearing such a pleasant and gentle voice, Molly looked up at Brian. He wore a well-fitting
business suit, looking very handsome and dashing. He was really a lucky man looking so attractive and
irresistable with such an ice voice.
"I am not used to eating alone..." Molly said honestly what was on her mind while looking Brian in the
eyes.
Brian slid his fingers lightly across Molly's face and felt that it was cold. He then imperceptibly furrowed
his eyebrows and said flatly," Hmm.. I will have meals with you from now on!"
Perhaps because Brian's words were so surprising, or perhaps because Molly suddenly realized that
this man in front of her was actually not as nice as he was at that moment, Molly asked in a rather loud
voice," Huhh?" After that, she immediately added," No, thanks. Don't worry about me. If you're busy,
you should go ahead and do your things. Don't delay your work because of me."
After Molly had finished her words, Brian squinted and then cast a slow, significant glance at her. He
said," What's wrong? Don't you like me to keep you company?
