Eric selected some dishes casually, looking like a naughty young boy. After a short while, his plate was filled with a lot of food, but he still glanced around for more. "It'd make me glad to know that she is fine. You know that I never refuse her requests. Now that she has told me not to go look for her, I won't do that."
While speaking, Eric was about to pick up a Schwarzwalder cake, but he suddenly found that there was a mousse cake on his plate. He looked at Brian with confusion. "Molly might not like to eat such sweet food."
Brian glanced at him and coldly said, "You're really interested in her lately!"
"Am I?" Eric raised his eyebrows and said. "Molly is nice and interesting. She looks weak and timid, but she is very cute and attractive when she gets angry. I find that I like her very much."
With moroseness gleaming in his eyes, Brian said in a cold voice, "Do you just find her interesting, or do you just want to figure out how much she means to me?"
"What do you think?" Eric wore a mischievous smile on his face.
Instead of replying, Brian asked, "You weren't about to come today, right?"
Eric raised his eyebrows haughtily and said, "Are you afraid that I will take her away from you?"
Although they both ignored the questions and said other things, they both knew what each other meant. Perhaps they understood each other very well, or perhaps they had been competing against each other for a long time.
"Eric, I just treat her as a plaything. I only love Becky!" After finishing speaking, Brian made his way to the rest area with the plate in his hands.
Eric shrugged while glaring at Brian's back. Raising a corner of his lips, he muttered, "I'll verify whether she is just your plaything or something more!"
Eric picked up a Schwarzwalder cake and also walked towards the rest area.
Wing and Molly were chatting casually. Since she saw that Wing and Brian were in a close relationship, Molly felt embarrassed and guilty. She thought that she was just a shameless mistress. So she restlessly talked with Wing. Her inferiority complex and unease made her feel very nervous and scared.
Wing, on the other hand, wanted to figure out what Molly had to do with Brian and Eric. However, when she saw Molly was as upset as a frightened rabbit, she felt pity for her and didn't ask her.
"What are you talking about?" Brian asked in a pleasant and low voice as he sat down beside Wing and placed the plate in front of her.
Molly's body was stiff with shock when she saw Brian. When Eric sat down beside her and lovingly placed the plate in front of her, Molly took a glance at Brian.
But Brian ignored her and just carefully helped Wing place the tableware in an elegant and noble manner. He did it out of habit, and not on purpose.
Molly secretly sneered at herself, with disappointment in her eyes.
She silently took the fork from Eric and lowered her head to eat. She paid no attention to what Eric was saying, and was just engrossed in Brian's affectionate voice as he talked to Wing.
Molly felt even more disappointed and hated it extremely. She should have been worrying about how Brian would punish her for being disobedient, but at the moment, she was just thinking of the scene when Brian walked inside arm in arm with Wing. She thought Wing was smart, frank and charming.
She told herself that she was just Brian's plaything, so she had no right to be jealous of Wing or think about whom he stayed with. In a few days, She would surely leave this frightening city and this terrible man.
