Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 30

"No! No, please... no... please..."

The sobbing continued. Molly was horrified and mumbling in her sleep. Her lips were dry, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face was twisted in pain.

"I'll... I'll pay the money back... Please... please trust me..."

The mumblings left her mouth continuously. She closed her eyes even more fiercely and shook her head uneasily.

"AHHHHH..."

A sudden, frightened scream broke the silence of the house, piercing the darkness all over. Molly abruptly sat up, woken from her slumber by a monstrous nightmare. Her chest heaved as she gasped for air and breathed deeply.

Slowly, she tried to compose herself and gulped. Although she was still hazy from her terrifying incubus, she scanned her surroundings.

The room was decorated mainly in white and purple, which somehow helped her calm down and feel at ease. The design inside wasn't fussy. Rather, it was a simple decoration that showed the owner enjoyed simplicity and freedom, but was also arrogant at the same time.

Immersed in her thoughts, Molly tightly compressed her lips together. As the memory of everything that had happened the night before came to her, her face suddenly went pale. She was wondering how she had gotten into this bed. The last thing she remembered was having a blackout and fainting. Everything beyond that was blank.

Her face changed expressions with her changing thoughts. She removed the quilts and, without bothering to put on her slippers, ran towards the window. When she drew the curtain, a cloudy sky greeted her eyes.

It was snowing again!

The weather had remained sunny only for two days, and now, the overcast sky was dropping snow. She felt there were more snowy days this year.

"Rat-a-Tat!"

There was a sudden knock at the door, startling Molly out of her meteorological musings. Jerking around, she saw the doorknob being turned and the door was pushed open from outside.

"Miss Xia! Good morning!" Lisa entered the room wearing her usual kind smile. "I assumed you would be awake, so I decided to inform you that Mr. Long called just now. He said that he would come back to pick you up later."

"Why? Where's he going to take me?" Frightened, Molly stepped backwards and hit the windowsill.

Lisa merely smiled and shook her head. "Breakfast is ready, Miss Xia. Please freshen up and come downstairs."

Having finished her words, she turned around and left the room with the same kind smile.

Outside, she closed the door and stared at it for a moment or so. Then she shook her head with a sigh and went back downstairs.
