Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 51

No matter how long the night, how bad the dream, a new day is always sure to come!

Molly slowly emerged from her sleep. She opened her eyes, looked around, and started to come fully awake.

She swallowed hard and tried to get up from the floor. "Ahh," she shouted and fell to the floor again. She had been sitting on the floor for so long that her legs had become numb and weak.

"Miss Xia, you're awake!" Lisa told Molly in a soft voice while smiling.

Molly looked at Lisa awkwardly with a light smile as she lay on the floor while rubbing her legs to reduce the numbness. Her eyes were all puffed up from crying overnight.

Lisa seemed to notice the sorrow and pain that Molly felt. She didn't ask Molly the reason why she slept below the stairs nor the reason why her eyes were swollen. Instead, she said in a low voice," Your breakfast is ready. You can clean yourself up and have your breakfast."

"Thank you!" answered Molly gratefully.

Lisa smiled at Molly and turned around to leave. Before taking a step, she remembered Brian's instruction. She turned back to Molly and saw her trying to get up from the floor, and said," Before Brian left, he asked me to tell you that you should not leave the house these days."

"Does he want to imprison me here?" Molly said carelessly. Seeing the surprised look on Lisa's face made her feel slightly embarrassed. The corner of her mouth twitched a little, then she said sheepishly," I mean… That's not what I meant."

Lisa was not the type of person who liked to meddle, so she just shook her head and said," That's what Brian asked me to tell you and I merely delivered the message to you."

After that, Lisa turned around and left without saying anything else. She knew her place in the house and having worked for Brian in such a long time, she had learned what she should or shouldn't do.

Yesterday, she told Brian on the phone that Miss Xia was cooking in the kitchen. To her surprise, Brian had come back just in time for dinner. It was odd because he had been gone for a few days and it seemed that he wouldn't be coming back that soon.

From how she'd known him, Brian had barely shown his feelings to anyone. It might have been because he was raised by his family that way or he might have inherited his father's characteristics. It was quite difficult to see through him and his feelings. But after Lisa had spent some time with Molly, she started to think that if Becky didn't love Brian, then Molly could be a better choice for Brian.

After having cleaned herself up and changed her clothes, Molly went downstairs. She did not eat anything for breakfast since she had no appetite at all. She said sorry to Lisa for the trouble earlier and walked out of the house to breathe some fresh air. She stood in the garden and stared at the front gate with a strong desire to walk beyond it shining in her eyes.

Even if he would allow her to go, she wouldn't dare to.

She could still recall vividly what Brian had done to David and she knew that she could not take that risk.

If all she cared about was only herself, she wouldn't mind taking the risk, but she had to think about what could happen to her mother and Daniel. There was too much at stake. She would never even dare to do so.

She raised her head and looked at the sky, and a flicker of amusement shone in her eyes. The sun was rising at that very moment; a bright glow was rising in the East, and the sun was shining from the horizon. But sadly, thick clouds were looming in the sky, which seemed to block part of the beautiful sunlight.

Molly had stayed in the garden silently from morning until the afternoon. She even told Lisa not to prepare lunch for her. People usually felt that time passed quickly whenever they were happy, and they felt that it passed slowly whenever they were sad. But in fact, it has its own rhythm, independent of one's feelings. Whether you are sad or happy, time passes by just the same and life goes on.
