Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 444

Maybe, he was. He once fell in love with a woman who couldn't show it to him back. His love was all in vain and here, in love. He learned to be selfish because he needed to protect himself against uneasiness.

***

Molly was skimming through her documents about the Handicapped Children Charity Concert. No one could know for sure but maybe Molly was passionate about causes about child rescue or salvation or assistance because of Mark.

Molly stopped looking through the documents as her mind wandered. Mark was already three and a half years old which meant that more than four years had passed. She hadn't been to the city for a long time. The city where she had a lot of memories that she often forget - something she thought would never happen. There she left that man, and all the pain, and everything in between.

But she often had dreams about that time and every time she woke up from those dreams, she realized it was futile to even try. She tried her best to not even think about what would happen to her if she didn't have Mark or Spark.

For the past four years, she hadn't known for sure if her mother really was dead as Edgar had told her or if her father or Daniel had been found. She had no idea where they all were and even if she tried to look for them, she wouldn't know where to start.

And as for that man...

Molly pressed her lips lightly. It had been so long ago. At that time, she should not have been seduced by the sense of security that he offered her and she also wasn't willing to give her retinas to Becky at all. But now she was just grateful that she wasn't blind and that at least she had Mark and Spark. And that was more than enough for her.

In the past four years, she had Mark and Spark and she thanked God for that. Despite everything that she went through, there were people who loved her and cared for her.

This made Molly smile - the corners of her mouth lifting and her eyes shining. She didn't know if she loved Spark that way but she enjoyed his company very much and adored his relationship with Mark. Because of such kind of light happiness, she felt unprecedentedly peaceful! All of this positive energy made Molly feel unequivocally peaceful

"Molly..." Manny interrupted her thoughts. She turned to look at Manny. "I'm going to take Mark to the hall next door," he said.

"Hmm?" Molly asked, confused.

Mark's eyes were shining as he gestured with his little hands as if to say "Manny and I are going to the hall next door to watch Michelle's rehearsal".

Michelle was a famous soprano who was set to perform at the Golden Saal Wiener Musikverein tomorrow. Today, she was rehearsing. She was quite talented, actually. Molly knew that Manny had taken a liking for her so she wasn't surprised when Manny asked if they could go watch her rehearsal. But what she raised an eyebrow at was Manny taking Mark with him. Molly didn't probe and just agreed.
