Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 354

"How dare you!" she shouted. She scowled at him, "Do you really think that I would hurt Molly? Edgar, you have no idea what's going on. I don't need to be alone in this. Just take my advice: watch them fight to death from the top. It's better up here."

"You must be enjoying your view." Edgar said coldly. He walked away leaving her standing alone. Before he went inside his car, he turned to look at her to glower at her one more time. As soon as Edgar was inside his car, he started the engine and sped away leaving Jennifer behind.

The car vanished in front of Jennifer's eyes. She was seething as to how Edgar treated her. 'I've done so much for you. I came here to find you because I was concerned. The possible conflict of interest would have endangered you. It would have endangered me too if my grandfather found out but I just didn't want him to hurt you. But you chose to ignore all of this. How rude, ' her mind raced.

The more Jennifer thought about it, the angrier she got. Staring at the exact spot where Edgar's faded into darkness, she whispered, "Edgar, I'm going to make you regret this."

Brian drove through the darkness of the night. Molly didn't know where they were going and she didn't bother to find out - it's not like she had a say in it, anyway, it would've been a waste to ask. Besides, wherever he took her, she would be there with him.

Molly looked out the window to watch everything pass by. It calmed her down. Molly was still wearing Brian's jacket which was too big on her - she was so small and Brian was not at all.

She lowered her head inhaling Brian's scent that lingered in his jacket. It made her feel safe and secure knowing that he was just there. Even though they came from completely different worlds, Molly couldn't help but feel comfortable where she was: in Brian's world.

While Brian was driving, he turned his face to look at her before returning his focus back to the road, "How are you feeling? Still hurt?"

Molly kept her mouth and merely shook her head in response.

Brian glanced at her before pulling over to the side of the road and turning off the engine.

Molly looked around. By the side of the street was a small garden which was somehow familiar to her. She racked her mind, trying to recall why it was so familiar. And then it hit her: this was the garden where she and Brian once took a walk hand in hand and where she admitted that she loved him.

Molly couldn't help but feel touched at this gesture. She suddenly felt her face turn red. She looked away to hide her flush, 'Why did he bring me here?' she thought to herself.

"Come, let's take a walk," Brian offered in his deep voice. He looked at Molly and started to notice how red her face was. He continued, "But if it's too cold, it's okay. It's my fault after all, I rushed you. We can sit in the car first, okay?"

Molly looked at Brian, not believing what he had just said. 'Did he just ask for my opinion?' Molly thought to herself.

Brian could sense that Molly was in a daze so he leaned over, looked at her, and asked again, "Okay?"

Molly turned her face away once again in order to avoid his eyes. She looked outside, pressed her lips together, and nodded.

She was disappointed that it was too cold out to take a walk with Brian. How could she still be feeling this way about him? Maybe because she was so used to being neglected that anyone who showed her the slightest amount of affection and she clung onto them like a starfish. She was just that insecure.
