Had he ever done such a thing before?
Perhaps he had never done this before. Being born with a silver spoon, he didn't have to lift a finger to serve anybody.
Molly suddenly sneered at herself.
She felt embarrassed and pitiful at that moment, but she even managed to think of such a thing about Brian in such a situation.
"Brian Long..." Molly gently called Brian's name.
Brian stopped and took a glance at her, with his lips slightly closed.
Molly swallowed hard. The coldness and the pain she felt in her body kept her conscious and clear-headed. She feebly blinked her eyes and said slowly, "You... you really don't want to let me go, right?"
Brian's eyes suddenly lit up in astonishment. Pausing for a moment, he looked her in the eye and asked, "What do you think?"
Molly tried her best to keep her eyes open despite the cold and pain she felt. "While I stay here, can you... put the photo... of that woman... away for the mean time?"
Molly said these words with difficulty. She wanted to pass out. Perhaps she would forget everything and not feel the pain if she would just faint. However, at this moment, as much as she wanted to, her mind was still clear and did not cooperate.
"Of course, you can also just... ignore what I said, " Molly added. She wore a rueful smile and the photo in Brian's study flashed through her mind once again. Then Edgar's face suddenly appeared in her thoughts. Edgar was the only person who had the most impact on her up until now.
If she hadn't met him, she might still be the same person who hid herself behind a tree and was afraid of being around anybody. Ever since she had met him, she could never forget and could still vividly recall her experience that day, the rainy weather, the bitter accusation and their encounter.
Sometimes, life was so strange. Just when Molly had slowly forgotten what happened in the past and started to forget her feelings for Edgar as well, she met him again. It was so unexpected that all the memories of him and the past frantically came back to her all of a sudden.
Edgar... He fascinated her and she loved him deeply and secretly. It was her secret and she never told anyone about it. She kept it all to herself and just wanted it to be buried in her heart forever.
In the past, she was not confident enough and couldn't get any chance to be with him. And now, she had become another man's woman and didn't deserve him at all!
Just like what someone had furiously said, she would never be happy her whole life. All she would be was a man's woman in secret!
No! She wasn't even Brian's woman. She was paid to keep him company, just so she could help her father repay the money.
Brian slightly narrowed his eyes when he noticed that Molly's expression kept changing. He stared at Molly as though he wanted to see through her mind and figure out what she was thinking.
