Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1105

"Do you still have harsh feelings about what happened at that time?" Brian asked, but he had no doubt about the answer. However, he wanted to hear the response from Molly.

Molly pursed her lips and gazed at Brian for quite a while, contemplating whether she should speak frankly or not. Finally, she realized that Brian wanted her to speak her mind because he always knew what she thought, and he must have known what she was thinking now.

"What if..." Molly said with a deep sigh, "I say yes?"

"Then I will tell you the truth!" Brian answered in a casual tone, but his cold, handsome face looked solemn.

"All right. I want to know... why..." Molly began. She could feel her heart beating fast in her chest, and she swallowed a lump in her throat. It was a sensitive topic for her to discuss so frankly, so Molly took a moment to compose herself. She was also afraid of what would happen when she learned the truth. Molly worried when she found out the real reason it might put a barrier between her and Brian.

However, if she didn't learn the truth, then she could go on deceiving herself and remain blissfully ignorant. She could continue convincing herself that she had only misunderstood Brian. On the other hand, if she got to know the truth, and it was what she had expected but tried to deny all these years, then things would gradually become awkward between them. That was because she would magnify everything and make a mountain out of a molehill as women tended to do.

Most women knew that it was something that they shouldn't do. When Molly encountered something that she was afraid to know about, she would try to persuade herself to ignore it, but all the while, she was eager to see the truth. Hence the old proverb; curiosity killed the cat.

The woman was a paradox! It was ingrained in her nature to be curious, and it is a habit that was hard to break.

Brian felt sorry for the unnecessary torment that Molly was putting herself through. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. Sighing slightly, he said, "Whenever you found a problem between us that you couldn't figure out, you would always think about it in a negative way instead of a positive one. Now you're doing the same thing again." His tone sounded somewhat helpless as if he could do nothing about it. While gently criticizing Molly, he was, in a way also criticizing himself. Had he been frank with her as soon as any problem had occurred, many things would not have happened as a consequence. He had always chosen to solve problems on his own accord and hadn't bothered explaining the reason to her even though he knew that she was a person who lacked a sense of security. As a result, he had left a permanent scar on her heart and a bad memory in her mind for the dignity of another woman.

Hearing what Brian had said, Molly lowered her eyes and began criticizing herself as well. It had been many years since that had happened and they got on quite well with each other. They had three beautiful, healthy children, and a peaceful life and loving relationship. Why did she have to delve into the past and risk rocking the boat now?

"Bri, forget about it," Molly said from her heart. "Let bygones be bygones. I'm very happy now, and everything is going well. That's enough for me." While she was upset that Brian gave her corneas to Becky, she had nearly forgotten that Cathy had donated her corneas to her.
