Lisa and Molly had been living together for almost a month. It was true that Lisa felt pity for Molly, but
she liked her very much and was truly delighted to stay with her.
Molly furrowed her eyebrows slightly and her gaze involuntarily returned to the TV. Park Shin Chun was
telling the reporter about matters related to his concert tour. The reporter went on to ask him whether
he thought that Wing, who was going to hold her charity concert next week, would attract more
attention from people than he did.
He looked straight at the camera and said," I don't think so. We work in different fields." He paused for
a second and continued with a smile," I heard that Wing has already landed in A City. In fact, I would
very much like to get in touch with her. Although we are immersed in different musical realms, our
careers are still related to music."
The interviewer continued asking some other questions and Molly eventually looked away from Park
Shin Chun's handsome face. Even though her eyes didn't leave the screen, she wasn't really looking at
anything in particular. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Brian and Wing.
She had no idea what kind of affection Brian would show towards a woman he cared about. She
wondered whether he was capable of loving a woman while being with another.
Having a pensive expression in her eyes, Molly was peeved at the thoughts she was having. She had
been going through such emotions time and again for the past few days.
She remembered faintly hearing Brian call out her name before she had passed out yesterday. At that
moment, he had sounded as worried as he had been in that dark room. She fainted soon after that and
when she woke up the next morning, she immediately realized that Brian had left already.
Disappointment struck Molly very hard when she felt his absence.
She lowered her head to the cup of milk in her hand and silently sipped from it.
She was exasperated with herself for being so silly. 'Brian just happened to appear when you needed
his help. Why would you start falling in love with a man who treats you like a plaything?
Molly Xia, your love is worthless!' she told herself.
Molly blinked slowly, with a touch of self-mockery flashing in her eyes.
She hadn't been caged by this kind of darkness in many years.
She had been locked up and pulled in by this depression many times in the past. She was in despair
and no one had come to rescue her. First, she called her mother out loud, and then she screamed out
the name of the person who once cared about her. After that, she screamed out to her father and
Edgar. But no one appeared to rescue her when she felt helpless and alone.
And when she was locked up in that dark room and thought everything was lost, Brian extended his
helping hand out to her and pulled her out of the horror and despair once again. Even though she
couldn't remember clearly what had happened at the time, she was grateful to him and had begun to
fall in love with him.
Molly sighed and put down the cup. She heard Park Shin Chun still talking to the reporter. She tried to
push back the sorrow that was haunting her.
Molly believed that after Wing's concert, her relationship with Brian would be over. After her concert,
they might never see each other again.
Since that thought shrouded her mind, Molly smiled and a sudden gleam appeared in her eyes. Her lips
curved into a beaming smile.
Life was unfair and she might have to live miserably, but she still wanted to try her best to strive for a
better life.
Molly was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she did not notice the two men who were standing at
the door and staring at her smiling face. One of them gazed at her with a deep look in his eyes, while
the other looked at her passionately.
Molly sensed someone's fixated gaze on her and realized that the atmosphere had become a little
dense. She swiftly looked towards the door and saw Brian and Eric standing there. She had no idea
how long they had been standing there, looking at her smiling face.
Brian casually looked away from Molly. His handsome face remained expressionless as he started
climbing up the stairs. He always seemed so overbearing which frightened people and made it hard to
even breathe properly around him.
Eric's glance didn't leave Molly as a slow smile spread across his face. He was happy after seeing that
she was fine.
Molly looked away from Eric quickly. She was embarrassed even thinking about what had happened
last night in the manor's resting room. She slightly pursed her lips. Perhaps she felt guilty. She had a
feeling that Eric was looking at her with a mischievous, sarcastic smile right then.
When she heard Brian's footsteps fade away, Molly suddenly remembered something and shouted at
him," Bri!"
Molly shouted out his nickname without any hesitation, perhaps because she was anxious at that
moment to tell him something important, or perhaps because she just did it subconsciously. Brian and
Eric were stunned and Molly was petrified.
Eric cast a questioning glance at Molly with a touch of jealousy in his eyes.
Brian slowly turned around and fixed his eyes on Molly without any expression on his face. He then
waited for her to speak.
Restless, Molly bit her lip and glanced sideways at Eric. She didn't even want to guess what the look in
his eyes implied. "I want to go out today," she blurted.
"Okay." After the oblivious reply, Brian stared at Molly for a short while before he turned around and
continued to go upstairs.
"I will be back late tonight," Molly spoke cautiously.
"Okay."
Molly's eyes opened wide at his reply. As he turned his back to her again, she was afraid that she had
misheard him. "I said I would be back late tonight."
Brian stopped again, turned around and looked at Molly who was downstairs. He gave a quick blink
and said coldly," You must come back before 11:00 in the evening."
Molly's eyes lit up in joy. She didn't expect that Brian would agree without questioning her. She had
prepared some excuses in advance, but to her surprise, she didn't have to explain anything to him. She
didn't care about why he would allow her to go out. Molly happily nodded and said," Okay!"
Brian was annoyed because of something that happened earlier, but somehow his bad mood
dissipated after seeing Molly's smile.
He had no idea why she was so optimistic.
She was heartbroken and miserable only a little while back, but now she was excited and cheerful. It
seemed like her sadness was forgotten just because Brian had allowed her to go out.
Brian quickly made his way to his study. He sat down wondering why he was so infatuated with Molly's
smile.
After Eric witnessed the exchange between Brian and Molly, he followed Brian upstairs.
