Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 507

Following the feeble and weak resistance, came the feebler and weaker compromise. All of this merely indicated how lowly they felt deep in their hearts.

"Brian, will you please allow me to see Mark?" Molly softly begged. The request was heartbreaking, enough to make Brian stop and turn around.

She stood not very far from him, her hands lifting her dress slightly, an indication that she hurriedly followed him out.

Her face anxious, Molly approached Brian, with her dress slightly hitched to her calves to keep the edges dry. Rain fell on the shed, its pitter-patter helping calm the surroundings. In the warm light, Molly's skin looked unusually fair. She halted three steps from Brian, compressed her lips and got ready to plead her case. "Mark is innocent. You can punish me, but Mark needs me. Won't you allow me to see my son for his sake?" she said piteously.

It's been a month since she last saw Mark and it broke her heart. Other than his photos that she looked at every day, there was no other way for Molly to assuage her longing for the boy.

Their situation was becoming too unbearable for Molly, and she was almost certain to go crazy if things went on this way.

"I'm sure you don't want Mark to grow up with an incomplete family, right?" Brian took a step forward as he asked the question.

Instinctively, Molly stepped back and with her voice suddenly turning raspy, asked, "What do you mean by that?" Communicating with Brian was always a challenge. Unlike most people, he was a man whose thoughts jumped from one idea to another without warning. Molly was sure the question was deliberate rather than random.

"You're willing to marry Spark, to give Mark a complete family, are you not?" Brian's tone was deep but chilly, making Molly's heart sink. "Mark needs a mother, and I'm willing to get married for his sake. And that's exactly the reason why I'm here." With one eyebrow raised, Brian added, "Haven't you figured that out? Or could it be that Eric hasn't told you what Mr. Song is planning?"

The words made Molly's eyes widen and her heart quiver. She recalled what Eric had said while Brian was dancing with Hannah, and it somehow indicated that Mr. Song wanted Brian and Hannah to be a couple. Without thinking Molly blurted out, "Brian, you can't marry her!"

The urgency and subtle anger in her voice somehow made Brian a little hopeful, but before he could enjoy the feeling, Molly's words quickly squelched this.

"Mark would not want any other woman to be his mother!" she grated her teeth in fury. "You can go get married to whomever you please, just return my son to me!" she snapped.

The hair on his temples slightly twitched, and Brian looked at Molly gloomily. Then he fixed sharp eyes on her and sneered, "You don't get it, do you? The reason I want to get married is to give Mark a complete family."

The woman stared at him, and his next words shocked Molly more. "I don't care who my wife is. You can even be one of the candidates, understand?" he said rudely.

Eyes mocking, Brian waited for a reaction from Molly and seeing none. He turned around to walk towards the parking lot. Shortly after, Tony said goodbye to Mr. Song and stepped outside, too. Seeing Molly, he was briefly struck dumb, then quickly nodded at her and followed Brian to the parking lot.

No one, not Molly nor Brian, was aware that someone standing in the dark had witnessed their exchange. The seemingly innocent but truly tempestuous scene between them was enough to make this person turn gloomy.
