Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 451

In our lives, some things are inevitable, like our destiny; some are irreversible, like our fate to meet with the one we love; some are indelible, like memories; some are impossible to let go, like love.

Spark sat in his seat on the plane with his dark brown sunglasses perching on top of his nose covering his eyes. His plane was bound for Taipei. He looked out the window, one hand propped against his jaw. He watched the clouds drift in and out, getting more miserable as each second passed.

Even after all these years, he still couldn't forget about that horrible day. Maybe he never really would get over it. Maybe it would always haunt him and follow him for the rest of his life.

He grimaced as his emotions took over him. His twitched and his eyes were starting to well up. He closed his eyes and tried to contain his emotions.

When the plane landed at the Taoyuan International Airport at Taiwan, Spark robotically got off the plane and claimed his luggage. This was the last place he wanted to be yet here he was back again year after year. He strode through the airport grimly.

He took his sunglasses off when he reached the gate. At the entrance of the airport was parked a car and standing next to it was a man at whom Spark sneered. He ignored both the man and the car and opted for a cab instead. The cab sped away as soon as Spark entered the cab.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Spark is gone," the man bowed as he said this to someone inside the car.

Suddenly, the car window was rolled down revealing an old man with a beard. You could see where the years had not been good to him. "Notify the rest and get them out of there," the old man ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Su." The man bowed again as the car left. After that, he took his phone out and relayed the order that the men stationed in Grace Garden leave Spark alone.

In his cab, Spark left the car window rolled down allowing the breeze to tousle his hair and to blow at his face. But his eyes were blank as he followed the scenery outside. As the car approached Grace Garden, his eyes narrowed. The pain in his heart grew.

Spark's phone beeped. He took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, and checked his phone. It was a message from Molly which read, "Mark and I have arrived in T City safely. I think you should have arrived in Taipei by now too. I'm sorry that you have to go through this alone. Next time, Mark and I will be there for you and you won't be alone."

Spark was moved by Molly's message, his eyes red by the time he finished reading. All the emotions he was trying to contain was about to spill out. He raised his head, trying to prevent his tears from falling. Molly's empathy and his misery made him tremble.

'Mol, do you have any idea? How much I wish you wouldn't have to go through what I am going through. '

Spark sighed as he wrote down a reply.

"Mol, I'll be fine because I know I have you and Mark. I love you ."

At the other end of the phone, Molly smiled upon reading Spark's message. She remembered what Manny had told him about Spark's family and she empathized with him. He must be very down right now.

"I'll wait for you to come back and I'll give you my answer then, okay?"

she typed down. Her eyes watered the more she thought about Spark. She read through her message again before sending it with a smile.
