Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1030

Molly couldn't stop her lips from frowning as she looked at the number. Something didn't feel right about it. She figured if the person at the other end of the call had accidentally dialed a wrong number, he or she would have hung up as soon as they'd hear Molly's voice. Assuming the caller was a stranger, since Molly didn't have the number stored in her phone, who was looking to speak to her, he or she would have said something to her. However, the fact that the call fell in neither category left Molly in confusion. She placed the cellphone to her ear again, "Hello? Who is this?" As far as she could remember, all the number of her friends and relatives had been stored in her cellphone before and she hardly gave her personal number to strangers. As a result, a call from an unknown number was a rare occurrence to her.

The person on the other end of the line remained silent, but Molly knew that the person was listening because she could hear the sound of slow breathing. For some reason, Molly's instincts were telling her that the caller was a woman.

"If you have something to say to me, please speak," Molly said after subsiding her confusion. "If you don't, then I will hang... up..."

The beeping sound, which indicated that the person had hung up, interrupted Molly before she could even finish her sentence. With a puzzled expression adorning her features, Molly seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. However, it would take a lot more than a prank call to daunt her. She was no longer the coward woman she had once been. Although she still had a long way to go with self-improvement, she wouldn't run away from facing any threats that had the potential of damaging her present.

With these thoughts racing in her mind, Molly brought up Brian's number in her cellphone. But instead of pressing the call button she lingered on her thoughts for a long time. After much deliberation, she decided against calling Brian and dialed Eric's number instead.

"What is it, young lady? What could be so important that you had to call me at his hour, Little Molly?" Eric answered almost immediately in a playful voice. "Are you lonely?"

Molly, however, was in no mood for his childish banter as she rolled her eyes and snapped at him, "Don't make fun of me! I don't have time for your silly jokes!"

"Cough!" Eric almost spat out the wine from his mouth when he realized how serious Molly was. Taking a sideways glance at Cora, who was playing with her cellphone, he sat up straight and cleared his throat. "Okay, seriously... Can I help you something? It's quite late."

"Nothing important... I'm just curious. What did you talk to Bri about at the airport earlier today?" With her shanks hanging by the bedside, Molly lay down slowly. "Eric, I feel as though you and Bri are hiding something from me. Am I right?" she asked.
