Molly looked towards Brian.
He was lying on the sofa indolently while holding a book in his hand.
He saw her come in, yet he just snatched a momentary glance at her, and then drew his eyes back to his book.
Brian was indeed a handsome man. He had an angular face with narrow and sharp eyes. His thin lips were gently closed as he was lying on the sofa and reading a book. Such Brian, compared with the usual, was less distant and arrogant, but a little more elegant. The scene in front of her was so peaceful, as if it were a picture. He was so attractive that no one could take their eyes away from him.
Molly took off her shoes and put her slippers on without saying a word. Her fair face was with a little flush which was left by the cool wind outside.
Brian asked indifferently without raising his head,"Have you come to an agreement with Steven?" His long and slim fingers gracefully flipped a page, creating a rustling sound and a heavy atmosphere.
Molly bit her lips as she glared at Brian and said coldly,"I have nothing to talk with him. Everything is under your control, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Brian's eyes flickered slightly and his thin lips curled a little. He raised up his head and looked at her, then said flatly,"Mol, I have told you, don't you dare escape from me as long as I don't say yes!"
"You wretch!" Molly, with a furious face, looked at Brian, wondering whether he was an angel or a devil. Sometimes, she really wanted to tear him to pieces to see what his inner world was like.
She wondered why he treated her so nicely at times and made her feel warm, yet sometimes he acted like a devil.
"I... was never a good guy." The smile at the corners of his mouth gradually turned into a sneer. Even under the deep-set eyes covered a kind of mockery.
Molly clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth with rage. She calmed herself as she bit her lower lip and took a deep breath. "Thanks for your warning!"
Then, Molly turned around and went upstairs. She was reluctant to see him.
Brian neither made a move nor stopped Molly. But when she turned around, he saw the hurting expression on her face, which made him feel so heart-broken that he knitted his brows.
He closed the book and threw it aside. He was so agitated that anything would make him feel annoyed. His eyes fell out of a French window, only to see the night-lamps giving out dim light in the dark...

Eric lazily leaned back on a car. The scene in front of him was a mess. The hay was scattered around, which gave people a sense of dreariness.
