Hearing what Shirley said, Molly grinned with pleasure. All of a sudden, the sadness in her mind vanished completely. Although she had no idea about what kind of person Aunt Shirley was, she was sure that she must have been a lovely girl when she was young since she had remained broad-minded and optimistic until now.
Molly replied politely,"Yes. Thank you!" For some reason, her nose twitched and tears filled her eyes. She didn't know why, but she wanted to cry right there quite a lot. When she heard what Shirley said, she felt touched and moved, even jealous! It seemed like she had never been cared for by others.
But, both her father and mother were alive. Why did she always feel that she should not exist?
Why should she be the person condemned for the accident of her mother and downhill of her father?
Finally, the hot tears that she had been trying to prevent from falling, rolled down from her eyes, and slowly soaked into the pillow cover. Aunt Shirley kept telling her the precautions that she didn't know before and she listened carefully with a big smile.
She had been young once, discussing stars with classmates. It was like the things had happened yesterday. And she was still young enough to be merry, but she had forgotten it because of the heavy burden during these years.
All of a sudden, her thoughts were shattered by the sound of the door opening. A tension developed in the air right away and Molly felt it, and went short of breath.
Molly hurriedly told Shirley through the phone,"Okay, I get it. Tomorrow....I will be there on time....Yeah, I'm sorry, I have to hang up the phone. See you!"
Hearing her flustered breath and watching her shivering hands both of which had exposed her thoughts at this moment, Brian frowned and walked towards her slowly and gracefully. He didn't need to ask her to know who she was talking to. Obviously, it would have been Shirley, his mother, because Park Shin Chun had a concert tomorrow.
Watching him slowly approach, Molly felt nervous. Her evening dress had been taken off and she was unable to recall who did it for her. Obviously, it wouldn't have been Brian. If he didn't do it by himself, it must have been Lisa. Being an overbearing man, Brian wouldn't allow anyone else to see her body.
"Who did you meet last night?" Brian asked indifferently.
Molly didn't reply. Instead, she looked at him, completely confused as her head spinned and his figure turned into a silhouette.
Brian intended to ask more, but he stopped when he saw her toilworn face and red eyes. Then he roared,"Molly Xia, you are a big nuisance!"
"...." Molly smiled in self-mockery after hearing his words. Yes, she was a nuisance indeed. Before moving to the villa, she used to live a poor life, but she was happy and peaceful. After moving to the villa, she lived a rich life, free from worrying about food and clothes, mother's medicine and Daniel's tuition, but she was unhappy and exhausted.
"I was born a nuisance!" Molly said in a bitter voice,"Don't stay with me. You had better get away from me."
Father, mother, Edgar.... Anyone related to her suffered lots of disasters just because of her.
