When you really love a person, the person you love will discover some traces of your feelings regardless of how hard you conceal it. That is not because you don't hide your emotions well but because you tend to treat the person you love carefully when you love them seriously.

Grasping Molly's arm with his hand, Brian walked out without saying a word. Everybody was left looking at their backs in astonishment as butterflies filled their stomachs.
Tony didn't catch up with Brian. However, a meaningful smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth while looking at Molly's back. He might not have an idea of what had happened to her in the past two years, but he learned from both her gambling skills and her marksmanship that she had changed. She was no longer the woman she had been.
It seemed that her desire to match Brian in every aspect was taking over her. She obviously wanted to be beside him with her persistence to win his love. He had already seen such kind of persistence before in Brian.
Thus, he thought, 'Molly, if you really love Mr. Brian Long, please continue and never give up! No matter what Mr. Brian Long does to you or how cold and repulsive he is towards you, please hold on! Since Mr. Brian Long did so much for you, I believe that you can bear all this.'
"Integrate and convert Miss Xia's chips into a check and then send the check to her," ordered Tony.
With a slight frown, the manager asked, "Where to?"
Tony thought for a while and then said, "Send it to Smile Hotel. In case she didn't check in with her own name, give the check to someone named Vincent."
"Okay. I'm telling somebody to do that," the manager answered. Then he called one of his subordinates to convert the chips won by Molly this evening.
Such a trivial and ordinary episode in a casino couldn't draw much attention for a long time. Thus, all the gamblers went back to their own gambling games after Brian pulled Molly away.
Brian didn't let go of his grip on Molly until they walked out of the casino. His face was cold when he suddenly shook her hand off with force. Seeing that Molly was staring at his arm in a daze, his eyes went a few notches darker with the indescribable feelings that crept his heart.
He had meant to embarrass her just a few minutes ago. However, something in him suddenly gave up, thus, he pulled her away instead. Little did anyone knew how his heart quivered out of control the moment his palm touched her skin.
Molly raised her head slowly to look at Brian with her beautiful eyes. She wasn't even blinking when her gaze slowly locked with his. It was not until a few moments later that she mumbled slowly, "Brian, you haven't forgotten me!"
What she said not only made Brian's heart skip a beat but also shocked herself. She worriedly looked at Brian, only to find that he was looking at her emotionlessly. She felt her heart sunk in the dumps out of disappointment as she thought, 'Why did I even say that?'
"Molly Xia..."
