Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1204

Ann was shocked. Anna's social network was more extensive than her friends'. Now that she knew Charlie's and Evelyn's identities, she could guess who they were. "Is that Mr. Brian Long? Wow, he really is an imposing man," said Ann.

Elsa was startled by what Ann had said even though she knew that she wasn't the reason why Brian and Molly were here, she still felt intimidated.

People at the hall exalted over Brian and Molly's presence. Brian and Molly had been living abroad, and they seldom came back other than returning to Dragon Island and staying there for a few days occasionally. Nowadays, they rarely made a public appearance, and the media barely got the chance to shoot Brian and Molly. Their love story was no less romantic than that of Brian's parents'.

Ezra and Shaun were astounded. They were both familiar with the Long Family, so they recognized Brian and Molly immediately.

"What's going on?" Ezra cried out with a trembling voice.

Shaun raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ezra. He replied with a smile, "What's going on? Somebody is trying to trick their daughter into an engagement. As her parents, they have shown up for one of two reasons. Which one do you think it is?"

"What? What reasons?" Ezra asked puzzled, looking at Shaun.

"One reason is either to help the man who has chased after their daughter for years, to fulfill his wish. Whereas, the other reason is…" Shaun deliberately paused, and a gloating smile appeared on his face. "Well, the other reason, of course, is to break the man's legs and warn him to stay away from their daughter."

Upon hearing Shaun's words. Ezra couldn't help but feel a cold shiver run up his spine for a few seconds, and then he whispered, "Why do I feel like it's more likely that they came here for the second reason?"

"Maybe you're right." Shaun chuckled. "Good luck!" Then he walked up to Brian and Molly and greeted, "Mr. and Mrs. Long, how are you?"

Brian looked at Shaun, and then at Ezra, who was walking towards them, and he replied coldly, "We're doing great." It seemed that he was trying to put some pressure on Ezra with his coldness.

"Mr. and Mrs. Long, it's nice to see you," Ezra greeted after clearing his throat. He wore a forced smile and hoped that he wouldn't end up too miserable.

"When we got off the plane in Dragon Island this morning, I heard that my daughter was holding an engagement banquet in T City," Molly started, staring at Ezra and looking puzzled. "She is becoming more and more reckless and unruly, so Bri and I came here to see what kind of act she was pulling now."

At that moment, Ezra couldn't conceal what he had been planning any longer. Molly smiled at him, pretending to be confused and angry with Evelyn while Brian stared at him aggressively, as if he was ready to chop him up into pieces. Ezra believed that he was dead anyway, so he decided to confess his crime. "Mrs. Long, Evelyn isn't clowning around," Ezra started in a low voice.

"Really? Then what's going on here?" Molly challenged, still wearing a questioning look.

Ezra swallowed and glanced at Brian. When he met Brian's intent stare, he couldn't help but shudder inside. 'Why do the Longs' all have such intimidating eyes? Of course, Evelyn is an exception. Her eyes are crystal clear and beautiful, ' Ezra thought to himself.

"Well…" Ezra stuttered and cleared his throat. His eloquence had suddenly left him when he found himself standing before Brian.

Shaun had been standing aside and regarding Ezra. He found it amusing that Ezra, a renowned young lawyer who was just as successful as Steve, was actually stuttering right now. If Shaun had filmed this scene and sold it to the journalists, he would have made a great fortune. While thinking about that, Shaun turned his head and glanced at the journalists. They had all been taken to the allocated area by the staff. This was to ensure their private conversation was not disturbed and remained private.

When Molly saw how embarrassed and uncomfortable Ezra had become her heart softened. She knew the difficult times that she and Brian had gone through and hoped that her children's personal life could run smoothly. Ezra was wealthy, gentle, and well educated. Molly believed that he would treat her daughter well.

Brian, on the other hand, didn't plan on letting Ezra slip away that easily. Seeing Ezra hum and haw, Brian's face turned cold at his indecisiveness. "Tony, call off the engagement!" he ordered.

Ezra froze for a second. He then quickly recovered and said in haste, "Mr. Tony, please wait!" "Please, don't call off the engagement!" It had taken him great effort to convince Evelyn to get engaged to him. He couldn't just let Brian call off the engagement. It was okay for him to lose the bet to Charlie, but he couldn't stand waiting any longer to marry Evelyn. He then turned to Brian and continued, "Mr. Long, I really want to get engaged to Evelyn. I didn't mean to keep it from you, but…" Ezra said. He glanced at Molly and smiled. "She's your daughter, and she's careless and reckless. Sometimes I have to resort to extreme measures, which are really nothing compared to what Mr. Long had done to get you, Mrs. Long."

'How bold is this boy!'

Molly marveled to herself. Other than members of the Long Family, no one had ever dared to mock Brian. Ezra hadn't become a family member yet. How dare he speak like that in front of Brian?

However, much to everyone's surprise, Brian didn't get angry. A smile emerged on Molly's face as she glimpsed at Brian. She could tell by the look on Brian's face that he had given tacit consent to Ezra, allowing him to become their family member.

'However, his road to happiness would still be full of hardships, '
