Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1040

To make it worse, Charlie hurt her more by saying, "Mom, you'd better admit that, because Dad says the truth. Uncle Daniel referred to the marriage certificate. He means that he is going to get married, but you haven't figured it out by now. Alas, I wonder if Evelyn inherited your IQ. That would be bad!" While saying that, he even shook his head regretfully and looked at Evelyn with sorrowful eyes, as if he felt very sorry for his sister. He thought that the reason why Evelyn seemed to be very different from the rest of the Long Family was because she inherited their mother's stupidity. Truly, for him, her sister was pitiful.

"Great..." Molly said, pulling a long face and rolling her eyes. "Charlie Long, you're doomed as well!"

Finding that his mother was really angry, Charlie pouted, flashed his puppy eyes, and gently took her hand. In a sweet, innocent voice, he said, "All right, mom, Charlie is wrong... Can you forgive me, please?"

Hearing that, Molly didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. Rolling her eyes, she wondered where Charlie inherited such tricks. Brian was a cold-blooded and cruel man, while she was plain and was without any outstanding feature. However, Charlie was like neither of them. He was just like a devil, and he always had the ability to get someone do his own bidding.

On their way from the training ground to the guest house, laughter and scolding came burst out now and then. However, everything was affectionately done--between lovers, between family. The sounds of chatters filled the space they were in, and everyone who was in the space felt relaxed. They could not ask for anything more at that moment.

"Excuse me, sir!"

"Come in!" Daniel answered promptly and authoritatively. After doing so, he quickly raised his eyes to look at Brian, who was beside him. He chuckled out of embarrassment. The reaction was due to the fact that while he was inferior to his brother-in-law, here, he was a military officer and was superior to many people.

As a member of the Long Family, although he was not necessarily in Dragon Island, Brian's influence in the whole world couldn't be written off. Otherwise, it would have been unnecessary for him to take this trip before Daniel and Cathy could apply for their marriage certificate.

Hearing Daniel's answer, the soldier standing at the door walked into the room and gave Daniel the customary military salute. Then, he looked at Brian and Molly and reported, "General Gu invites Mr. Brian Long and Mrs. Molly Xia to meet him." Turning his eyes to look at Daniel, he continued, "The captain of Falcon Commando is invited too."

"Okay," Brian answered. Then he asked casually, "When will General Gu arrive?"

The soldier seemed to be surprised to hear such a question. After a few moments of silence, he answered respectfully, "He will arrive in twenty minutes, sir!"

It would also take about twenty minutes for them to get to Edgar's office from the guest house. As usual, Edgar had estimated the time precisely and made use of every minute, insistent on not wasting any valuable time.
