Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1027

Getting his point, Richie nodded. He knew that his previous plan that Evelyn and Charlie could stay together with Shirley for a few more days would not be carried out because of Cora's sudden visit.

It was not until Brian returned to Glamour Hall that he got to know Evelyn had been injured. She had been crying in a pitiful manner in front of her mother, as the pain was incessant and could not make her stay asleep. As soon as she saw her father, she began crying even harder.

Intending to teach her a lesson, Brian didn't try to console her. Instead, he just let his daughter cry. As a child of the Long Family, if she behaved like that every time she was injured, how could she protect herself in the future?

Cuddling Evelyn to silence, Molly was now quite used to Brian's attitude for such acts of discipline, and she agreed with him. Therefore, after managing her to stop crying, she stopped showing her attention to Evelyn's tantrums. She thought that not having someone to comfort her would make the child stronger. She realized that what Brian had said to her made sense. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, she knew that the children had to learn how to be independent and responsible for their actions.

"Mommy, I heard from a servant that..." curiously, Mark asked while coming into the room from outside, "you and Papa Brian are leaving. Is that true?"

Hearing his question, Molly nodded to affirm.

Seeing that Evelyn was crying sadly and her legs were neatly covered in gauze, Mark walked to her and gave her a hug. He rubbed her back soothingly and wiped her face dry. Sensing that there was someone who cared for her, the little girl gradually stopped crying. Her cries turned into sobs. While hushing his younger sister, Mark asked, "Do you have to leave so suddenly?" He was reluctant to part with his family again so soon and was saddened at the thought of them leaving so soon. All this time, he was expecting that they would stay a little longer.

Shrugging, Molly answered, "I don't know. Maybe your Papa Brian has something to deal with."

"Oh!" realizing the urgency of his father's work, Mark answered and he didn't go on asking questions. Because of the speech disorder, he had suffered from as a baby, Mark had been obedient and considerate in order to make his mother less sad. Later he had decided to return to Dragon Island as a candidate for the power holder for the sake of Brian and Molly. After being trained for a few years, he had become more sensible and learned to hide what he was actually thinking about. This made him wiser and more rational towards his decisions.

Sensing his son's grief, Molly half squatted in front of Mark and held his cheek between her fingers. In a somewhat heavy tone, she said, "Mark, mommy will never leave you." Seeing that Mark turned his eyes to look at her, she continued with a smile, "No matter what status you are going to have, you will always be an irreplaceable little baby boy in mommy's heart. Do you understand?"

"I know that," Mark answered with a nod. After pressing his lips and hesitating for a while, finally, he pushed his face towards Molly's and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Mark won't let mommy, daddy and Papa Brian down."

At the sound of his son's promise, Molly felt that the happiest thing she had experienced in her life was that she had met Brian, who brought her three wonderful children. Her happiness was so genuine at the moment that she couldn't ask for more. With her family, she felt her life had no regrets.
