Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 558

It's when people are in the most dangerous and urgent situations that they expose everything hidden deep inside their hearts.

Since Brian didn't mind the arrogance and contempt displayed by the man with a square face, he remained impassive.

After Brian snapped his fingers, a waiter quickly appeared before him. He drew out a check, wrote a long list of numbers and handed it to the waiter. Shortly after, the waiter was back with a huge stack of white, transparent rectangular chips, each marked with a million dollars. Anyone glancing at it could compute and guess the chips were worth more or less 100 million dollars.

The man with a square face soon realized that Brian was a big player. Laughing, he said, "My friend, since you want to play, of course, you are welcome to join us."

While Brian did not hide his ambition to join the high-stakes game, everyone present paid little attention to him, who was dressed casually in the beginning. But when those gathered around the table saw him lay down chips worth a hundred million dollars, they suddenly began to show their interest in him.

Brian's huge wealth had never been a secret to Molly. But because she had a deep-seated loathing for gambling, Molly questioned Brian's sudden decision to participate in the high-stakes game. However, she did not express her opposition. Because while she might not agree with his actions, Molly knew she would still end up supporting him when he started to play.

Seeing the distress in Molly's face, Brian laughed secretly. He looked at the steel ball spinning quickly in the Wheel and asked her, "Which numbers do you want to bet on?"

"You're asking me for numbers?" she asked incredulously. When Brian nodded, Molly frowned, looked at the wheel, heard the dealer asking players to place their bets and took a deep breath. "Then 8, 11, 19…" Molly answered quickly.

He glanced to see if Molly would change her mind, then tossed two chips for each of the three numbers she gave. Brian paid no attention to the spinning roulette, as it slowed down. But his eyes never wavered from the numbers Molly selected. Recognizing the numbers, Brian didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. The three numbers respectively represented the month Mark was born, the month he and Molly met, and the day she left! Did she choose the numbers deliberately, Brian wondered.

He couldn't tell if the numbers were significant to her that's why she said them out loud without any hesitation, or if they were numbers she was trying to avoid? If it was the latter, it might explain why they were at the top of her mind.

The roulette finally came to a stop. "4, 19, 32!"

Of the numbers Molly picked, only 19 came out. Brian stared at it with disgust since this was the day Molly left.

Seeing that Brian lost 20 million dollars within seconds, Molly frowned. As the second round was about to start, she hastily told him, "Please, don't ask me for numbers again."

Her plea and nervous expression had Brian raising his eyebrows. He grabbed Molly's hand tightly, then stared at the steel ball bouncing around the wheel, his eyes gradually growing darker. Brian provided the three numbers he bet on but had no luck this time.
