Eric was curious about what Brian had said to Mark. He did not hear anything, but he could guess that the two have reached a certain agreement. However, he wondered what kind of agreement could be reached between Brian and a kid, a kid of Little Molly and Spark.
"Mark, what were you talking about with that..." Molly thought for a moment then continued,"that uncle?"
Mark gesticulated. He did not plan to tell Molly anything about his appointment with Brian.
Shocked, Molly asked,"He... Let's go!" Molly did not finish what she was about to say and instead, pulled Mark away. She did not ask anything in the end. She took Mark to say goodbye to Russell, and then went back to the hotel together with her companions.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired these past few days that Molly fell asleep immediately just as when she was telling stories to Mark after washing her face and brushing her teeth. Mark, on the other hand, was excited thinking about what would happen tomorrow morning, but he was afraid that his parents might find out, so he pretended to be fast asleep.
That night, Spark sat at the terrace alone while the night wind blew. Looking at the stars all over the dark sky, he was thinking about the conditions he would negotiate with Brian tomorrow.
He did not know what had happened between Molly and Brian, but based on Harrow's facial expressions and words, he knew that Brian had a great interest in Molly. He did not know whether he would succeed in persuading Brian to give up Molly, but perhaps his chance of success would rise because of Wing.
Spark could not give him an answer. He could do nothing but wait, wait for the moment he would negotiate with Brian.
Morning came when the sunlight sprinkled to the sea horizon. After the breakfast at the hotel, everyone went their own way. Manny went to apply for a visa for Daniel while Daniel said he wanted to walk around. Molly had to go to Dream to deal with remaining matters related to the concert, Spark, on the other hand, was waiting for Brian to contact him. All the while, Mark was trying to find a way to go to Brian while making sure not to give a clue and make them feel worried for him.
"Ding-dong", the doorbell rang. Mark jumped off the chair to open the door and found an attendant of the hotel outside the door.
"Mr. Spark Su," the attendant walked inside with a smile and a letter in his hands in white gloves. While handing the letter to Spark, he said,"There is a letter for you. Please check and acknowledge receipt."
After Spark took the letter, the attendant took out a register book for Spark to sign his name, then he turned around and left.
Spark looked at the letter in his hand, and saw that it was sent from the People's Court of T City addressed to him and Molly. Slightly frowning, he was a little surprised and confused to receive a letter from the court.
Spark opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.
"Citation of People's Court of T City...
