Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 121

Shirley understood Antonio's worries, so she signalled to Molly and then walked up to Antonio. "I am just watching a concert. There's nothing dangerous. Richie is always worrying too much.What's more, I look so special in other people's eyes because you are always following me. Without you by my side, I would just be a common woman taking my daughter to the concert," said Shirley with a smile.

Consciously, she really treated Molly as her own child.

Despite her words, Antonio still felt a little bit worried. He knew that it should be safe inside the stadium, but he was careful, just in case.

"Okay, okay, I will be fine. I should go in now," Shirley said and patted Antonio's shoulder to reassure him. "In general situations, I'm still capable of protecting myself."

Helpless, Antonio sighed. He had no choice but to wait outside. "Okay, I will wait outside. Please call me as soon as the concert is over!" said Antonio.

"Okay!" Shirley answered. She didn't ask Antonio to go back to the hotel first. She knew that even if she asked, he still wouldn't go back.

Then, Shirley took Molly to the entrance, and after the security check, they went inside the stadium. Gradually, all the crowds outside went into the stadium, and the gates finally closed with waves of euphoric yelps, you'd think they'd bring the stadium down, literally.

Antonio leaned against a tree trunk, and with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looked at the large screen of the stadium emotionless. On the screen, Park Shin Chun's concert promotion video by Flight Media was playing.

Antonio's stern face softened a little at memories from the old days. He still remembered the love stories between Richie, Shirley and Eric's father, Frank. Now, Brian and Eric were grown-ups.

Night gradually grew deeper while wild uproar, acclamation, and screams from fans ruled the sky from inside. Outside, only the dim yellow lights were dancing on the road.

Several strong men, dressed in black suits, shirts, and black masks on their faces, were hiding themselves in a corner near the stadium. As the concert was coming to the end, they discreetly sneaked in without being noticed by Antonio...

The waves of continuous screaming and shouting were deafening. Those sounds could really get people's adrenaline pumping. Antonio suddenly understood why Richie didn't come with Shirley.

Richie was so possessive about Shirley. If he saw with his eyes that Shirley was crazy for another man, he would not take it well, and that would make Shirley miserable, too.

Antonio slightly raised his brows as he heard thundering sounds of 'encore', again and again, in the stadium. Finally, after the last song, the concert ended. Gradually, with satisfaction left on their faces, the audience started to trickle out of the stadium. They seemed that they were still longing for more.

From the moment Antonio saw the first group of people out, he had walked to the appointed door, and waited for Shirley and Molly. However, he stayed for a long time, until only a handful of audiences was left. But Shirley and Molly were nowhere to be seen.

Frowning, Antonio took out his phone and dialed Shirley's number. No response. The beep on the line made Antonio feel very worried. A hunch that something was wrong rose in his heart. Immediately he ran into the stadium. He kept calling Shirley again and again while he searched for their figures in every corner of the stadium. The call still was not connected.
