Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 506

Molly looked at Brian with hate and fury reflecting in her eyes, as if she's trying to burn him alive. Noticing the enraged Molly, Eric pulled her hand inadvertently and said, "Little Molly, I see some acquaintances over there. We should better take our leave and greet them."

Upon Eric's words, Molly controlled her fury and nodded in agreement. After glaring at Brian, she immediately left with Eric.

A man approached Mr. Song and Brian and reminded Mr. Song, "Mr. Song, it's almost time." Hearing this, the old man perfected his poise.

After a while, Mr. Song nodded and excused himself to Brian. He then left with the help of the man.

Alone, Brian sat quietly without a care of anybody else. After what had happened four years ago, he became well-known by many. A lot of people wanted to rub shoulders with him and make use of his power, yet, all froze and stopped due to his profound coldness.

Starting to feel bored, he swayed his wine glass, eyes fixed on Molly. On the other hand, Molly did the same and kept her eyes on him despite standing beside Eric. For quite some time, they continued to stare at each other - Brian detached and gloomy, Molly furious and resentful.

"Good evening, everyone," a calm and weather-beaten voice disrupted their eyes. Right at that moment, Mr. Song stood on the stage, with the spotlight beaming on him, and said, "Thank you all for coming to my granddaughter Hannah's birthday party."

After saying these words, the spotlight focused away from him and moved to the staircase where Hannah was walking slowly downstairs. She wore a white glowing dress filled with crystals. With a light make-up on and a crystal tiara, her profound beauty exceeded the crowd. She was like a princess, graceful and aloof.

As she walked down elegantly, the band played her a birthday song. The crowd was stunned as the maids served a massive five-layer cake while they continued singing her a "Happy Birthday".

Hearing the crowd, Hannah's smile gradually reached her ears. She loved being in the spotlight. And just like a real princess, she raised her chin up in superiority.

"Vain," Eric derided. Among all kinds of women, he loathed such type. With a slight feeling of disgust, he averted his look and prepared to take Molly to the lounge. However, she didn't move an inch. Anger was seen all over her face.

"Little Molly?" Eric called, but she didn't respond. She could feel Brian's sight on her even though the lights were out. At this point, she detested him. She was hoping to see her son in the party, but all her hope vanished because Brian didn't bring him. It felt like she was thrown from the peak of hope to the abyss of despair. No one could ever understand her sense of loss.

Eric followed her eyes and saw they were directed to where Brian was sitting. Dismayed, he comforted, "You might not have seen Mark today, but you will have other opportunities. Don't forget. I can visit Mark as I please," he continued.

With such comforting words, Molly eventually drew her sight from Brian. Biting her lips as her way of stopping herself from doing senseless things, she nodded as a response. However, she continued to not pay attention to Eric.

The party officially started after the birthday song. And as the celebrant, Hannah could invite any man she liked to dance with her. With such rare opportunity, a bunch of gents started to gather around, hoping to win her admiration.

After spending some time glancing around, she set her sight on Brian and walked towards him. Jealous, all men and women present directed their focus on him.
