Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 586

At least once in our lives, we meet that someone who will make us forget about ourselves, selflessly, without caring what may happen in the future, without hoping that you can be together, without expecting that he can be yours, and even without wishing for him to love you back. What we want is only to meet him, to love him, to get hurt, to miss him, to be stupid, in the best years of our lives...

Molly shook her head slightly. Looking somewhat distressed, she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not sure, maybe... In fact, he treats me very well. In the beginning though, our relationship was mixed with so many issues that cannot just be ignored. Therefore, even though he's treating me so well, even though I'm trying my best to accept him, I'm still afraid somehow." She raised her eyes to look at Ximena, "Can you understand what I'm saying? He is always by my side, but because of the gap between us, plus the fact that I had to compromise, I've always felt that I'm in the shadow of something. I want to get out of it, but I always fail."

Hearing that, Ximena suddenly smiled with bitterness, her slender fingers gently stroking the cup and her eyes looked down at the black tea in the cup. After quite a while, she said slowly, "Perhaps love is not as simple as we think it is. There may really be no distinct boundary between love and not love. That's why we're always swayed by consideration of gain and loss." She raised her eyes slowly. Her eyes were shining with a smile that looked like self-mockery, and after a pause, she continued, "Or maybe, love only exists in our fantasy. Perhaps we've never loved or been loved at all."

Looking at Ximena, Molly slightly frowned, as she felt like Ximena was talking about herself, wasn't she?

Seeing that Molly's originally clear eyes seemed confused all of a sudden, Ximena could not help but smile. She said, "Well, everybody can see that Mr. Brian Long treats you very well. Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. Let's just enjoy what we have now and stop thinking nonsense," she said while picking up the cup. "Why do you have to worry about troubles that may not come? It's okay to be happy at present..."

Hearing what Ximena said, Molly smiled too. She liked the big-hearted and broad-minded Ximena very much, who lived her life well even though she was unhappy. She was so different from Molly, who was always immersed in something. Maybe everybody had different life experiences, but God distributes it equally to everyone. It was always up to oneself to keep holding to it or move on.

Molly decided to stop thinking about anything she was unable to understand. Instead, she just let the time pass by talking with Ximena. As they continued to tell their stories, Ximena learned that Molly got together with Brian because of her father's gambling debt. Molly, on the other hand, learned that Ximena and Aaron began with a "romantic encounter". But it was not until later that she found out that it was only because she had been keeping the jade seal of the Leng Family. It seemed that once love began for a reason that involved an intent to benefit or gain something, both parties would eventually end up have a wound that could not be healed in their hearts. Was it true?

Both women kept chatting until it was very late, but Brian and Aaron still weren't able to finish what they were doing. Obviously it was complicated, and Brian's men in QY Island were mostly sent out already. Brian decided that Molly should just stay at Aaron's villa. He had come up with the decision upon considering three things. First, her safety could be assured; second, Brian needed not to divert his attention to her, thus he could focus on what he should deal with; and third, with Ximena to accompany her, Molly might stop thinking about nonsense things.

Three days had passed in an instant. Neither Molly nor Ximena had seen Brian or Aaron in those three days. Brian did not contact Molly except for a call before she got to bed every evening. If he wasn't able to call her, he would send a short message instead, in order to help her fell asleep peacefully after being worried the whole day.
