Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 118

Brian only allowed Molly to go out because he knew that she would be going to the concert with Shirley tonight. The concert would be over by 10:00 p.m., so Molly would be back home before 11:00.

Eric smirked. He knew how wise and crafty Brian was. He really liked to keep everything under his control.

But lately, Brian also seemed to allow Molly to do more and more things her way. Eric wondered how Brian would treat Molly and Becky after Becky's return.

Eric was a bit envious as he thought about it. When he entered the study, Brian was on the phone with someone.

"When will you come over?" Brian asked the person on the other end. He wore a relaxed, sly expression on his face. Those who knew Brian well knew that he only showed such expression when he talked to his family.

Eric sat down in the chair opposite to Brian, his legs crossed. He picked up a pen from the desk and fiddled with it. Without saying anything, he waited for Brian to hang up the call.

When Brian was done, Eric asked,"When is Uncle Richie coming over?" He was certain that it was Brian's father who had called him.

"After Shirley comes back from the concert," Brian replied in a nonchalant tone.

Eric shook his head, smiling. "I really feel sorry for Uncle Richie. He was so sulky, but he still let Shirley go to the concert to make her happy."

The corners of Brian's lips curved up slightly. He understood his father's affection for Shirley all too well.

"Have you made a decision regarding the matter at hand on QY Island?" Brian asked Eric, while calmly fixing his eyes on him.

Eric shrugged and said,"I think it is interesting. I want to give it a try."

"Aaron is a cunning man. So try to be careful and don't go too far or be reckless about it," Brian reminded him.

Eric crooked his eyebrows and said,"You already have everything in place for me in advance. I don't think I have anything to worry about."

Even though Eric's words were laid-back, Brian realized that he was not very happy about it.

Eric was a haughty man and he was as wilful as his father. Brian hadn't initially intended to meddle in Eric's business, but after the change on QY Island's political power, he felt that he had belittled Aaron before.

Brian changed the topic and asked,"When do you plan on going to QY Island?"
