Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 400

Molly's eyes were getting more swollen and her hands were trembling harder as she kept reading the letter. Soon tears fell down from her face and soaked the paper. She was overwhelmed to say the least. She didn't expect all of this to happen so soon.

Molly clenched her fists close crumpling the letter. She raised her head and looked at Brian accusingly. "You had them watched! Why? Why did they leave? Why didn't you stop them?"

Brian felt his soul tearing into pieces as he watched Molly cry. He was having a hard time breathing, but he feigned nonchalance and slowly spoke, "You asked me to set them free."

Molly physically staggered at Brian's words. Brian caught her immediately feeling regretful of what he had said.

Molly's lips trembled as she murmured, "Why? Why did they leave just like that? Without telling me? Am I such a heavy burden to them? Nobody wants me..."

Brian held her tighter and reminded her firmly, "Molly, don't ever say that again. You are not a burden and you have never been a burden. From now on, I'm going to be by your side all my life no matter what happens. I promise, okay?"

Molly was too dejected to notice Brian's promise. She was still hung up on Steven leaving her. She couldn't stop crying, feeling abandoned and alone.

Soon, Molly fell asleep from crying. Brian carried her to his car and drove back to the villa. He chose not to take her back to the hospital because he thought being there might not make her feel better.

Brian could already tell something was wrong the moment they arrived at the villa. When he got out of the car, he started to look around. He spotted a black Mercedes Benz parked across his. He frowned at this and walked towards the car door on Molly's side. He picked her up and headed towards the villa.

The closer he got to the villa, the stranger it was getting. Even the air seemed to be too stuffy.

Brian pushed the gate open and there he saw were two people — two people he knew so well he could tell who they were even with their backs turned.

Sprawled across the sofa were Wing and Weston. The moment they recognized Brian and Molly, their expressions changed. They turned their heads towards the counter where Richie was sitting on a stool, sipping a glass of red wine. Wing and Weston kept silent.

Pausing only for a quick second to glower at Richie, Brian headed straight to the bedroom on the second floor to lay Molly on the bed. She was still fast asleep. He took her shoes and coat off and tucked her in, making sure she was warm. Brian gently stroked her tear-stained face, leaning over her to kiss her lightly on the lips before leaving.

Wing and Weston were nowhere to be found when Brian went back to the living room. Brian walked towards the counter where Richie was sitting, took out an empty glass from the cabinet and poured himself a glass of wine. "Where's Shirley?" he asked with his brows raised.

"She's in Korea," Richie answered nonchalantly. His eyes were dimmed to a black hole. "When was the last time that you got hurt?"

"Ten years ago." Brian lifted the glass to his lips and took a sip of the wine.

Richie's eyes grew darker as he asked coldly, "What are you planning to do with Justin Yan?"

Brian frowned at Richie's question. "You should ask Eric about that," he answered impatiently.

"Do you really think this carries enough weight that it can be presented in military court?" Richie snorted, "Frank already blocked it."

Brian shrugged his shoulders and said listlessly, "Why don't we just wait and see what will happen?"

Richard knitted his eyebrows at Brian's words, grimacing all the while. "You have gravely violated the rules of XK Intelligence Agency. Your rights will be taken away for five years. And during those years, you need to reflect on how you can become qualified enough to head the organization."
