Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 239

Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

It was a sunny day.

Becky basked in the sunlight on the meadow in the farmland, surrounded by sheep which kept jumping and bleating merrily.

The wind, bringing with it the sweet smell of grass, gently touched Becky's cheeks as it blew lightly across the farmland. Everything about that afternoon added to her bright mood.

Becky lazily ran her hand over the surface of the table. She did it with her cell phone in her hand. A feeling of thirst possessed her and her hand reached for the glass of juice on the table. She slowly took a sip. Contrary to the sweetness of the juice, she felt bitter.

Becky was waiting for Brian's message. Time ticked by, one minute after another. But the cell phone stayed silent. Five minutes had passed. But still nothing from Brian.

"Cindy," said Becky while looking towards Cindy's direction. She felt the table with her hands and tried her best to place the glass on it as steadily as possible. She was almost blind and was only capable of seeing blurry shadows which she could just barely distinguish from the darkness that surrounded her. It was impossible for her to recognize anybody even if someone stood right in front of her. "Brian hasn't texted in quite a while. He has never done this before."

Cindy looked at Becky with sympathy, feeling sorry for her helplessness. Enraged by Brian's ignorant behavior, Cindy got up from the deck chair immediately. "Becky, I'll book the air ticket. Let's go back as soon as possible."

Becky lowered her head after hearing Cindy's words. Her lusterless eyes indicated the blankness of her mind. Her nose twitched and she softly uttered in a weeping tone,"Where should we go?"

"Where..." Cindy stopped mid-sentence. Brian's whereabouts was always a mystery. Where could they find him?

Becky closed her eyes in helplessness, biting her lips hard to subdue the mounting sadness in her heart. Then she swallowed to dismiss the lump in her throat. "I called daddy. He told me that Brian is not in A City now."

"What about Dragon Island?" asked Cindy.

Becky shook her head with a bitter smile before saying,"Cindy, Brian seldom stays in Dragon Island. Did you forget?"
