Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 537

Brian stopped the car outside the school gate and got out, waiting just like any other normal father who had come to pick up his child after school. He kept a close watch on the school gate as he wanted to be the first one to see Mark as soon as he showed up.

Molly also got out of the car. She stood on the side of the front passenger seat. Then, she felt kind of weird and looked at Brian uneasily.

Brian shot a glance at Molly's troubled face. He was expecting her to say something, but she avoided his eyes on purpose. He could not help but coldly hum in his mind, yet he still walked towards Molly.

After peeping meekly at Brian who was now standing by her side, Molly had a rush of joy and she stared at the school gate. For that one moment, she put aside all her unhappiness. This scene, picking up her child after school with her beloved was one of those scenes she had fantasized would happen in her future. Such plain happiness was what she had longed for...

A smile quietly climbed up the corners of her lips and her eyes sparked with joy. Her expression caught Brian's eyes, and his thin lips wore a slightly visible smile too. 'This woman's happiness and grief are all displayed so clearly for everyone to see. Her happiness is not because of me, yet I'm still happy to be here to share her joy, ' Brian thought.

Their happy mood was pierced by the sudden sound of an elegant and intoxicating violin melody. Molly took out her phone immediately and saw that it was a call from Spark. Her first reaction was to look at Brian and then, she said, "I need to take this call."

Molly walked a few steps away from him and Brian's eyes followed her. When she pressed the answer key, she reflexively looked at Brian and their eyes locked. But before she had time to analyze the meaning of his darkened look, Brian turned back and steered his attention to the school gate.

"Spark..." she said into the phone.

"Mol," Spark's voice was a bit hoarse and dry, "Are you free now?"

"Yes," Molly said slowly. She thought about the forum and what was written in it. Her heart wailed at the thought of what had happened to him. "I called you several times, but your phone has been switched off for a while."

"Nanny was afraid that I wasn't getting enough rest, so he had turned it off."

"You...you... Are you all right?" Molly wanted to ask him whether if he had committed a suicide as it was written on the forum, but she could not spit those words out.

"I'm fine," Spark smiled, and then there was the sound of a shallow cough, "It's just that I caught a cold due to being in the rain for too long," he paused, "Mol, do you have time later today?"

Molly looked at Brian, who had his back towards her. She turned around and said with her eyes on the ground, "I... I don't know yet."
