Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1238

"Wh—" Sean was flabbergasted. He murmured under his breath, "You and Evelyn are the only ones in this world who would dare command me."

No one dared to demand anything of him as Sean would take over the XK Intelligence Agency. He was the top brass around here. Even Brian never ordered him around, respecting his leadership in the agency.

"Why didn't you say anything about Sean before?" Elsa asked as she was being dragged away by Charlie.

Charlie replied slowly, "As far as I am concerned, he is not my brother." Fixing his eyes far away, he continued, "He is more like a friend to me."

"What's the difference?" Elsa asked, with a smile on her lips.

Charlie laughed, "Yeah, not much." But the truth was that there were many differences between them. Sean was indebted to Charlie's father. So, unlike Charlie or Evelyn, he tried hard to prove that he was strong enough to be his successor. However, to some degree, his father didn't want Sean to take over this cruel agency. It was so strange that even though Charlie and Evelyn were born in the agency and had lived there for some years, their grandfather and father, who were predecessors of XK, raised them up to be bright and kind children.

But such naive personality didn't suit XK.

As they walked around the camp, Charlie explained about his life in XK, about the mercenary soldier's training, and their accomplishments in the field. He also told her about the love stories in his family. Finally, they came to the exit of XK's Hell Forest. Charlie told Elsa that his grandfather, Richie, had decided to join XK for his grandmother, Shirley, and that Shirley had waited for Richie while she was pregnant. And then he told her that his mother Molly had left his father Brian and had run away with Addison, and that Brian had stayed in Hell Forest for two years in order to take over XK and find Molly.

Elsa eyes were brimming with tears after hearing such sad stories. She suddenly realized that she was the happiest person in this world. Elsa had only ever heard the happy sides of these two love stories, but she never realized that there was so much pain in their lives until Charlie had told her just now.

A person's life was a semicircle. To complete it into a circle, one needed to find their true love. But finding that one person among billions of others was a mean task. Eventually, people ended up making do with someone they didn't love for the rest of their lives, never finding their soul partner. But some of them might be lucky enough to find their destined love, yet they had to experience so much pain and suffering in order to be together.
