Sitting in one of the private rooms at Romantic Club, Molly felt rather uncomfortable. The soft lighting created an intimate atmosphere suitable for lovers, not for old acquaintances.

Romantic Club was the top recreation destination in T City. Ever since its opening, it had been recognized as the unquestionable leader when it came to entertainment venues in the whole Glacier Road. It's the first time Molly had set foot inside the club, but it could be said that this place was no stranger to her.

"What would you like to drink?" Eric had not taken his eyes off Molly since he entered Romantic Club. After four years, she had almost become a complete stranger. She had changed a lot…The cowardly girl had been transformed into a strong-willed woman who emitted a kind of light that attracted the attention of people around her.

Frowning inwardly, Eric's heart contracted as he contemplated in what kind of circumstance, she had married Spark.

Molly didn't feel like having a drink with Eric. Shaking her head, she asked him directly, "What do you want to know?"

Her straightforward question surprised Eric. A devilish smile curved his attractive mouth. He couldn't help but think to himself, 'Little Molly has really changed!'

"You know what I want to ask," said Eric, his eyebrows curving upwards arrogantly. "Don't you?"

Molly frowned slightly. She could sense a partly hidden and partly visible air of danger from Eric, she couldn't help but clench her hands. "I'm sure you have already investigated and confirmed it. I don't think it's necessary for you to ask for my confirmation."

"Hum!" He sneered, looking at Molly with narrowed eyes. He said slowly and with sarcastic deliberation, "Don't tell me that you married Spark because you fell in love with him!"

Unable to hide from Eric's searching eyes, Molly felt nervous and flustered. She tried hard to look calm and unaffected by his probing questions. "As you already know, I married Spark not because I fell in love with him, but because of Mark. Isn't that what your investigators told you?"

Hearing that, Eric leaned towards Molly abruptly. The corner of his mouth quivered slightly and he gnashed his teeth. "Is it solely because of Mark Su that you have married Spark?" he asked.

Sensing the brutal air around Eric, Molly swallowed nervously. The stress was taking its toll and she could feel her heartbeat slow down.

Her hands grasped her legs tightly, the self-inflicted pain almost making her cry out. She realized that as Spark had said, no matter how much you wanted to, you couldn't go backward. If she wanted to forget the past… she had to face the present bravely.

"No!" said Molly. Lifting her chin, Molly looked Eric bravely in the eyes and said, "Perhaps we began with a mistake, but now… I… I…I love him!"

Eric didn't move. He fixed his probing gaze at Molly, trying to read her inner thoughts from her eyes. But he saw nothing except her firmness, which he hated.

Being the subject of Eric's probing stare, Molly was almost discouraged. Her breathing gradually turned faster, causing her chest to rise and fall unevenly. She silently told herself to keep calm, otherwise Eric would guess the biological identity of Mark.

"Should I congratulate you, little Molly?" Eric asked, his tone sounded bitter and sarcastic at the same time. He leaned back on his chair and poured a glass of lemonade for Molly. "I have believed that even though you didn't like me, at least you liked cousin Brian…" Eric threw Molly a brooding glance and asked casually, "Have you seen Brian?"

As he had expected, Molly's face froze when he mentioned Brian. His name is a taboo in her presence. He was just like a wound deep in her heart that no amount of time could heal. She thought she would be able to face it calmly when the time came, but the reality hit her too hard that she couldn't breathe... and her heart hurt!
