Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 225

With a smile, Sharon said,"The only thing left between him and me is hatred. How can he hurt me any more? Now, the only person who can hurt me is you, because you are the only one who matters to me in any case!"

Steven looked her straight into the eyes. He wrapped his arms around Sharon even more tightly and said in a deep, calm voice,"Sharon, for these so many years, I have understood your feelings!"

Attentive, Sharon did not say anything. She only frowned, sensing an impending storm.

Steven and Sharon had been talking in their room. When Daniel walked back into the living room, they had not noticed, so they went on talking freely, oblivious to his presence. He overheard what they said. And there was a shocker to Daniel, who could not believe what he heard. Molly - his elder sister was not his father's daughter? That was beyond imagination!

Daniel was so shocked that he fled out. He ran so fast on the snow crunching beneath his feet. He only stopped running when his feet hurt and he was dog tired. He bent down, resting his hands on the knees as he gasped for air. And to compound his exhaustion, he was ill-at-ease with what he had overheard from his parents a moment ago.

His sister was not his father's daughter, no wonder his father had not shown any pity for Molly, no wonder his father had pushed Molly to a man. What did his father mean when he said "Molly is safe in spite of a few difficulties"?

That sounded like Molly was in danger, and his father was downplaying the situation. Daniel was angry that they burdened Molly, even putting her in the line of danger over matters that his father should have shouldered as the man of the house.

Were his dad and mom even remotely concerned about his sister's welfare? Did they bother at all that Molly like anyone else needed her parent's support or had dreams and ambitions for a better life and future. With these thoughts in mind, Daniel was livid.

The more he thought it, the more furiously his anger burnt, and his heart was pounding. He looked like an injured young bear, mad angry but unable to do much about the situation.

With a book in his hands, Molly was sitting on the sofa, but she was not in the mood to read. She felt uneasy, maybe because it was the first time Steven had contacted her since she started following Brian. Therefore, she believed that certainly something had happened to her family.

The more she thought, the disturbed she became. She could not sit still any longer. She looked at the clock and found that it was not four o'clock yet. In general, Brian got home after six o'clock at the earliest. If she acted quickly enough, there should be enough time for her to go back home and come back.

On that thought, she put the book aside and went upstairs to change her clothes. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she returned, as if something else had come to her mind. She left a note on the dining table before she ran towards the gate of the villa.

"Miss Xia, are you going out?" John asked when he saw her running.

Molly frowned slightly. She pretended that she did not hear what John said, so she did not stop running.

John wondered why Molly was in a hurry. He was considering whether it was necessary to drive her when a car turned into the courtyard. Sighting the car, Molly stopped running in panic.
