But... What did this have to do with him?
Spark didn't pay much attention to Edgar instead he just replied in a cold tone,"Well, thank you."
After that, he didn't want to talk to Edgar any more, but said to Molly,"Mol, do you have something to do
later?"
With a gentle sadness in her eyes, Molly turned back absently and shook her head instinctively after
she heard Spark's question.
Spark suddenly grabbed her hand sensing her absence and inquired,"I heard that there are many
delicious food and cuisines to try in the South Street Alley of A City. Can you please accompany me
there?"
It was a question, but Spark took Molly away before she could even answer to his request.
Molly was pulled away from Edgar with a distracted mind. Jenifer watched them as they leaved the hall,
with hatred and coldness in her eyes.
"Spark is so very arrogant!" Jenifer remarked in a harsh tone.
Edgar didn't mind Spark's attitude towards him, and he didn't care about what Jenifer said either. He
just looked through the glass window casually at Molly who was pulled away by Spark and said,"Spark
has always been arrogant, just like his music, which gives the feeling and sense of freedom to the
audiences. He has always been like this, doing whatever he wants to do without thinking about others.
And he will not care about anyone else until he wants to."
The reason why Edgar greeted Spark was because he wanted to take a closer look at Molly, who was
so elegant and poised in that moment. She appeared in front of him in multiple different states of
existence over this one month. She was no longer the little girl who could only hide behind him and call
him "Edgar". She was all grown up, with her own thoughts and persistence. However, she had her own
sadness too.
But now none of this had anything to do with him, not anymore at least!
Edgar sneered in hushed tones. He had known what would happen between Molly and him when he
negotiated with Major General Zeng, did he not?
He had thought and hoped that Molly would be safe after so many years of separation, even though he
did terribly miss her. But he had to admit now that he had been fooling himself all along. Actually, he
still loved the girl, with the same intensity and sincerity, who would call him "Edgar".
"Well, let's get going now." Edgar forced his thoughts back to Jenifer as he snapped back to reality. He
glanced at Jenifer who was standing beside him, and left the Golden Auditorium along her side.

"Hey, why do you always pull me away abruptly without my consent?" Molly threw Spark's hand away
angrily. He made her so mad in that moment! Now, He was not the violin prince on the stage who
attracted and retained all audiences' attentions. He was just a rascal who treated a girl harshly!
"Didn't you want to leave in reality?" asked Spark innocently. He was really good at showing his lovely
and considerate side.
Molly's face changed after she heard Spark's affectionate words. She then acted like a prick, staring at
Spark and shouted,"Well, it's none of your business."
The grin on Spark's face grew wide as he saw Molly behaving like this. He took her by the hand and
repeated,"Stop being so stubborn, just come with me to the South Street Alley..."
Molly suddenly lost her calm. Did Spark live in his own mind without considering what others say and
think? 'How could he ignore what I just said in a harsh tone?' she thought.
"Spark, you are a world-known violinist, you know that right? I am sure there are many people who will
die to go to the South Street Alley with you! Can you just leave me alone because I am not interested?"
Molly suddenly grabbed Spark as she snapped at him. She then pulled her arm out from Spark's grip
and said,"I don't have anything to do later, but my friend is still here..."
"Are you talking about Wing's little brother?" inquired Spark curiously.
Molly stunned by Spark's blunt question and looked at him with confusion.
Spark seemed to understand the overwhelming confusion in Molly's eyes, he then said with a warm
smile,"Wing was one of my seniors. Although she was several sessions beyond me, I still admired and
respected her very much. After all, there are rare people who do charity as seriously and with
dedication like her. So, I tried to know her out of sheer curiosity. And then I found out about Brian!"
said Spark in a casual tone, but there was sadness and hatred reflected in his deep eyes. He knew
Brian not because of Wing, but because of Harrow, who gave up the bright future ahead of him and
chose to work for Brian instead. Inadvertently, he knew Wing's name, and from there it was only
guesswork about her relationship with Brain.
But it was just a guess, and Molly's expression at the present proved that his assumption was right.
"Why didn't you go to the backstage with them but instead chose to stand alone here in front of Wing's
bill especially since you came here with Brian?" asked Spark on purpose nudging her. Molly may not
have known that the first row of seats were reserved for VIPs, which were restricted for the ordinary
audiences. And she sat in the first row, so he certainly knew that Molly came to the concert with Brian.
"Because..." Molly almost blurted out the real reason, but she choked her words, and instead
said,"Well, I am telling you again none of this is your business!"
Molly was somewhat confused. Why did she always want to answer Spark's questions unconsciously
when she looked into his alluring and deep eyes?
Spark actually didn't care about the real reason why Molly stood in front of Wing's bill alone. He had
always been living without restraint, and his plan would never be affected by other things. He then
pretended to be sad and implored,"Well, I am leaving for Paris tomorrow. So, I will never have a chance
to go visit the South Street Alley if I don't go there today."
"I don't care about that Spark. I am sure you can manage some arrangements for you to visit the Alley."
replied Molly, as she turned around and began looking aside.
"Please just come with me, it's a request? Please consider it as a return gift for The Summer Breeze I
send you," insisted Spark optimistically.
Molly looked back at Spark and recalled what had happened in the park that day. She thought of the
way he played the violin for her alone, and of the feeling she had felt at that moment, she then couldn't
refuse Spark any more after he mentioned that beautiful day.
