Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1021

On their way back home, Molly's eyes were still red, but she painted a smile on her lips. She held a violin-shaped music box given to her as a gift from Spark, tightly in her hands. She lowered her gaze slightly and stroked the music box gently with her fingers. Then she slowly opened the lid and "The Summer Breeze" melody drifted out.

Brian was driving the car and turned his head slightly to glance at her. Discontent was apparent on his cold and sculpted face, but relief and comfort gradually appeared deep in his falcon-like eyes. He returned his gaze to the road ahead. He didn't drive fast, nor did he say a word about the scene from the beginning to the end. The only reason why he kept silent was that he wanted Molly to reflect in quietness. He didn't want Molly to focus on the recovery of Spark's hand or their reunion. Brian wanted her to feel and focus on how well he had treated her.

Although, as smart and conceited as Brian was, he hadn't expected that things would go the way they did. According to Brian, if there was one person that Molly had to thank for curing Spark that should be him. However, Molly showed no sign of gratitude towards him at all. It was as if she didn't even realize what Brian had done to help Spark. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, she not only made a scene at the restaurant in front of him as well as everyone else that had been there, but also left him and their children at home to go out on a date with Spark.

"Papa!" Mark called Brian while he held a pen in his hand and looked at him with furrowed brows. He was sitting on a chair in his own office, and with the new title of administrative director of National Congress of Dragon Island, Mark looked like a little adult. Moreover, after being trained as a candidate for the power holder of Dragon Island and being abroad for exchange learning at the special forces of State Parliament for two years, he, who was at the early age of ten, already had the imposing manner similar to that of Richie and Brian in their childhood. However, there was a difference between Mark, his grandfather, and his father. Richie and Brian had been cold and bloodthirsty since their childhood. Whereas Mark always wore a smile on his face, which made him look as mild as a lamb.

Nevertheless, one should never judge a book by its cover because looks could be deceiving, and it would be best never to view Mark as a lamb, for a person who had completed the phased training as a candidate for the power holder of Dragon Island would by no means be naive or completely kind-hearted.

Hearing his son's voice, Brian glanced at him. However, when he saw the pen in Mark's hand, he withdrew his sight and said in an indifferent tone, "Mark, I told you when you have a problem, you should first try to solve it by yourself, rather than ask anyone else for help."

When Mark didn't get the result that he was hoping for, he wore a big smile and put his pen down. He then jumped off the chair and went to his father. Brian followed his son with his gaze as Mark sat down next to him and asked like a child with mature thoughts, "Where's mommy?"

"She has gone out," Brian answered indifferently without any sign of emotion on his cold face.

Mark shrugged and asked another question, "Are you free this evening?"

"I have something to discuss with your Uncle Eric," Brian answered in a flat tone.

"Oh..." Mark complained and sighed slightly with an expression of regret on his little face. Then, as if he was mumbling to himself, he said in a low voice, "I was hoping to have dinner with mommy and Spark this evening. I wasn't expecting that you would skip it. "
