Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 164

As she thought about it, Molly couldn't help but glance at the photo on Brian's desk once again. Her heart inexplicably tightened with a knot. She was so stressed at the sight of the girl's face in the picture that it was nearly impossible for her to breathe. She felt as though her heart was being pinched and twisted at the same time. The enormous pain spread from her heart to her whole body, invading all her nerves.

Brian's dark eyes gently fell on Molly. When he noticed the intense way she looked at Becky's photo, he asked indifferently,"What's wrong?"

Brian's voice was so cold that it could have made anyone hold their breath upon hearing it. Molly looked up at Brian timidly, stepped towards him, and put the juice on his desk. She then looked down slightly, constraining herself not to look at the photo. "We can have dinner in half an hour," she said.

Brian cast a wry glance at the juice on the desk. After responding indifferently, he watched Molly silently turn around and walk towards the door of the study.

A slight frown formed on his face as he watched her back. When Molly's hand just got on the doorknob, he called her to stop.

At heart, Molly resisted, feeling unsure. She spun on her heel and saw Brian, who was standing up to walk towards her, and she wondered why he stopped her.

Brian stopped in front of her. When he looked at her, their eyes met. The sparkle in her eyes was shadowed by a complex expression, which gnawed at his heart and made him frown.

"The reception wine party of Wing's charity concert is scheduled for tomorrow night, and you will accompany me to the party," he declared in a detached, formal voice. He didn't even bother to ask Molly's opinion. He just told her what he had decided.

Molly frowned and asked,"Don't you think Wing will need your company tomorrow?"

"She won't need my company at the party." Brian's voice was still indifferent. After he finished speaking, he couldn't understand himself. Why did he have to explain to her?

"But, I..." Molly was somewhat embarrassed. She pressed her lips and then said,"I thought you were going to stay with her, so I promised to go with Eric when he asked me yesterday."

Those words immediately brought a dark and scary expression on Brian's face. His voice grew colder than before. "Didn't I warn you to stay away from Eric?" he demanded.

Molly's heart missed a beat at Brian's reproach. With shallow breaths, Molly didn't know what to do. She muttered,"I didn't know you'd take me along and I feared staying at home alone."

Still afraid, she avoided his eyes. She lowered her head, bit her lips, and pinched her clothes with both hands, feeling clumsy.

When Brian saw her acting like a girl, afraid of being scolded and fumbling for an excuse for her mischief, his eyes darkened.

The darkness in his eyes showed a deep pool of emotions.
