Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 447

Goldfish don't miss their owners, because they never get attached. Humans pine for their loved ones when they are apart. Longing consumes them. The only outlet is to relive the old days, again and again in their heads.

Molly tried to look strong upon seeing Brian again, but his words made her firmness tumble down like crumbling building blocks. Her legs went numb and she felt like she was losing consciousness. She withdrew involuntarily until her feet touched the stairs behind her and she had nowhere left to run.

Brian reached his hand out instinctively to grab Molly as she was about to fall. But someone else reached her faster than him-- a man who wasn't as robust as Brian, but was strong enough to protect Molly. He held her in his arm and asked, "Mol, are you hurt?"

Molly raised her head and saw that it was Spark who was holding her in his arm. He had his violin and the bow in the other hand. She shook her head in response to Spark's question and stood up straight.

Brian's hand which had been stretched out to support Molly froze in mid-air for a few seconds and then he withdrew it slowly. With his hands in his trouser pockets, Brian stood there with a poker face, silently watching Spark and Molly, who were standing so close to each other that their bodies were touching. There was no expression on Brian's face. Even the chillness which was emanating from him when he had come in had now disappeared. For a moment, Molly thought that he was not real; she thought that she might be delusional.

"Mr. Brian Long, are you here to see me? " Spark didn't know about Molly's relationship with Brian. However, Brian's appearance didn't surprise him. He had heard from Manny that Wing and Weston were going to hold a concert in this place. He assumed that Brian was here for Wing's concert. Besides, Spark's brother, Harrow, worked for Brian. Maybe he had come here to talk about Harrow. Either of the reasons made sense to Spark anyway.

Brian looked at Molly and then said indifferently, "Wing hopes to co-play a piece of music with you."

He was talking to Spark, but his eyes were fixed on Molly. "Don't tell me that you are not interested." At this point, Brian finally withdrew his gaze from her and looked at Spark coolly, continuing, "Since I came here to ask you personally, you can't reject the proposal."

Spark shrugged, an arrogant smile touching his eyes. He took Molly's hand, bypassed Brian and walked to his violin case. He didn't say anything to Brian until he let go of Molly's hand and put the violin in its case. "I'll think about it," he finally replied.

Closing the violin case, Spark gave Brian a glimpse and then asked Molly, "Where are Nanny and Mark?"

Molly's face immediately went pale when Mark was mentioned. She reflexively looked at Brian, whose eyes had never left her, and answered apprehensively, "They...they went to see Michelle's rehearsal in another hall."
