Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1074

The way Brian looked at Molly and the tenderness in his voice would make anyone's heart, break. Let alone Molly's.

Perhaps they were both sensitive because of what happened in the past. After all, many of Brian's decisions weren't discussed with Molly, which resulted in them being apart for many years. There is nothing to separate them now, but every person had their weakness, and Molly was Brian's Achilles' heel.

Molly had no opinion herself, especially on this aspect. Although Molly may have many shortcomings, compared to some other woman, the most advantageous thing she had done in her life was her persistence with Brian. She cared for him with a devotion bordering on obsession but was now happy because of it.

However, at this moment, Brian said, "I am doing this today because I just want to make your decision clearer and help you discover what you really want, in your heart." Molly didn't want to think about the God of Gamblers or what would happen tonight. All that she wanted to do was hug him and think of nothing else, and that's what she did. Molly wrapped her arms around Brian's waist and held him tightly, never wanting to let him go. She leaned her head against his chest and could hear the strong, steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her ear. With a voice full of sadness, she said, "I don't want to be a strong independent woman." Her chin began to tremble, and she swallowed hard. "I was never a strong woman." Molly squeezed her eyes shut to try to stop the tears from falling. However, it was no use. They rolled down her cheeks in thick heavy drops. Molly bit her lip and continued, "Bri, maybe it's not good to be a coward, but I don't want to be strong."

When she was back in the UK, she seemed desperate to be strong enough to be with Brian. However, her real purpose was not this. She just wanted to tell him that she would not be hurt anymore, even without him, but she didn't want to be stronger.

She had an inexplicable talent for gambling. Maybe it was because of her father's influence, or that she worked at Grand Night Casino. Either way, it meant nothing to her, and she would rather not have the talent if she had to be separated from Brian and her children to pursue it!

Molly was just a humble woman. She would never become a strong woman with envious achievements, and she didn't want to become that sort of woman anyway.

Sensing the deep sorrow from Molly, Brian slowly raised his hands and held her tightly too. His eyes were full of love.

How could he be willing to let this silly woman that he loved with all his heart leave his side for any length of time?

Brian never wished for her to leave, nor did he expect that she would. However, he loved her enough to let her go and gave her a choice to decide for herself what she wanted to do. She had been through so much in her life, and Brian tried to allow her the opportunity to pursue something that she loved even if it meant that he would be heartbroken.

The moon shone brightly reflecting a creamy glow in the lake outside the villa. It cast a silvery thread around the loving couple, that was wrapped in each other's embrace. Time seemed to stand still at this moment...
