Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 360

Seeing the look on Brian's face made Wing burst into laughter, "That's not bad. Not at all. How convenient for you that they're both at the hospital," she said in an amused tone.

But this didn't amuse Brian one bit. He instantly sat up, glared at Molly and said harshly, "It's getting late. Goodnight." Brian stood up and went to his study.

Wing followed him upstairs. She watched Brian walk into his study and slam the door shut. Wing shook her head, the amusement long gone.

Brian sat in the study. The computer screen in front of him was flashing with data, but he didn't focus his attention on it at all. His gaze fell on Becky's photo and his eyes gradually covered with a haze. When he looked at Becky's sparkling eyes on her smiling face, Molly's face appeared in his mind. Whenever he looked at Becky's face with her twinkling eyes and her beautiful smile, Molly's face would instantly appear in his mind.

Brian quickly snapped back to reality, gave Becky's photo one more look, and frowned. His mind was racing.

Brian's eyes grew deeper the harder he thought about it. He withdrew his gaze, stood up, and left his study but not to go to bed. Instead, he went to Wing's room.

He tapped a few soft knocks on the door.

"Come in,"

Wing's voice came from the room. Brian pushed the door open and walked in. He was not surprised to find Wing sitting on the sofa by the terrace reading a book.

Wing slid to the side to make room for Brian. She closed her book and gazed at Brian, "What do you want to talk about?"

Brian pressed his lips together and leaned back. He didn't even know if he wanted to talk to Wing because he came in here just wanting to see her.

Wing peered at Brian, trying to read his mind. "Are you here because of what I said earlier? In the dessert shop? Are you trying to choose between the two?" she murmured softly.

Brian turned his head and looked at Wing. He had been used to relying on his elder sister; Brian turned his head to look at Wing. He had depended on Wing ever since he was a little boy. After all, she was older than him by nine years. Their parents, Shirley and Richie, kept to themselves so Brian and Wing stuck together. Back when Brian was way younger, if he wasn't spending his time at XK Intelligence Agency, he was spending it with Wing. He could never hide anything from her.

"Love is very simple; it's only us who make it complicated." Wing continued, "I've witnessed so many love stories - the mess among Uncle Frank, Richie, and Shirley. I saw how obsessed Howard was with Ava, and I know how much Weston loves me. Brian, I have nothing new to tell you. I don't have special words or advice for you."
