Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 156

Sharon turned her back. The subtle flicker of restlessness in her eyes was very transparent though confusing as she saw a clearer image of the one who was coming. She exclaimed,"You're back."

"Yes, mom." As Molly mumbled, she walked up to Sharon and helped her sit down in a chair beside her. Then she said,"I came back the day before yesterday, but you were not at home then. I remembered that you had asked me to come back and you told me that you had something to talk to me."

Sharon, who seemed to be dazed for a moment, looked at Molly. There was an obvious hesitation hidden in her eyes. But finally she slightly said,"Nothing serious. I just thought that we hadn't had dinner together for a long time. So I asked you to come back to dine with us."

Molly looked at Sharon. The intuition told her that Sharon was keeping something from her. But she didn't reveal it. In fact, before she came back, she had anticipated that her mom might hide all the things and wouldn't let her know. After all, what her dad had done last night had already increased her load. And her mom loved her dad so deeply that she would do anything for him!

It must be this!

Molly said,"Though you don't have things to talk to me, I have something to discuss with you." Sharon felt confused. She looked at her with curious eyes. Molly continued,"Mom, have you and dad ever considered leaving A City? We can go anywhere in the world as long as we are together. Let's get out of this place, get away from legal casinos so that dad would not get lost in gambling. Let's leave here and restart."

Sharon listened, knitting her brows deeply. She said in a low voice,"Your father and I, we won't leave A City."

"Why?" Molly couldn't understand. "Why not? Leaving here is the best choice, isn't it? Why are you reluctant to leave here to end such a life? Why do you insist on staying here?"

Sharon turned her head to avoid Molly's straight and sharp eyes. She said,"No reason. In a word, I won't leave A City, neither will your father."

Her tone was so firm. She was adamant in her refusal. Molly's face wrinkled together tightly. She couldn't get the idea why her folks wanted to stay in A City whenever she proposed to leave.

The family dinner party was just a ploy. Besides, she wasn't in the mood to dine with them happily. She couldn't understand why her parents would rather watch her down than leave A City with her.

Uncertain of her destination, Molly rambled along the street on foot. When she saw an overpass, she would cross it. When she saw an underground passage, she would walk through it.

All of a sudden, soft music, like a little fresh spring flowing through her ears into her heart, was audible from a distant. She stopped her steps and looked around to figure out where the sound came from.
