Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 626

Biting her lip, Molly blinked to hold back the tears. Her eyes, even in misery, seemed to shine brighter because of the moonlight. After a deep breath, she managed to say, "Good night."

She continued to walk, grasping her phone so tightly that she could break it at any minute. With all her might, she tried not to look back. Only when she was in front of the house, did she let out a sigh of relief.

Brian stared at her longingly until she was out of sight. He withdrew his gaze from the direction where she left, and began to look around again in the backyard. He checked the lawn for anything that might be out of place, and when he found nothing, he decided to leave too.

The moon dimmed on the now vacant backyard. Not far from where Molly had been standing, a pale blue light could be detected. A ring was sitting on a leaf of grass. A round of mild wind gushed it off and it dropped onto the ground, concealed by the high grass.

Morning arrived in wake of the sun's ascendancy into the crimson sky. Birds chirped, signaling the start of an early day.

Molly rolled out of bed early. She went into the dining room and saw that Brian wasn't downstairs for breakfast yet. She sat quietly at the table. Lisa poured her a glass of milk. As soon as she raised the glass, Brian's bedroom door was open. He was up and coming downstairs. She drank the milk in one go, determined not to utter a single word to him. She left as soon as she came. Brian stood on the stairs and watched her leave the room.

"Good morning, Mr. Brian Long." Lisa greeted him as soon as he came to the dining room. She poured him a glass of milk. "Today is Mrs. Long's first day at work," she reminded with a smile.

Brian didn't respond. He sat down, pulled up the financial newspaper and started to read, sipping some milk from time to time.

His indifference discouraged her. Taking the hint, Lisa sighed and left the man alone in the dining room.

As soon as he was done with breakfast, Brian decided it was time to leave for work. He was greeted by Tony who was parked in front of the house. Secretly, he wished he would cross paths with his wife on the road. Maybe it was fate. Maybe someone decided to grant his unspoken request. An accident obstructed the usual road they took to Emp Stock Exchange, and Tony had to go another direction. As it turned out, it happened to go past the building where Sasha Music Troupe was.

When they passed the building, Brian put down the files that he was reading and looked outside. He watched it as they drew closer, searched for a familiar face in the nearby streets, and gave up once they drifted farther from the building. The moment he looked away and returned to his files, a bus stopped in front of the building. The person who had been on his mind, Molly, got off the bus.

Molly's commute from the villa took her a while to get to work. She had to walk a long distance down the hill before getting to the nearest bus station. Despite leaving the house early, the tiring and long commute barely allowed her to make it on time.
