Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 788

Nobody is able to change any other person, but everybody may be the reason for another person's change.

"Don't worry," said Molly with a faint smile. "The man I love is Brian."

Looking at Molly, Lenny didn't seem to be relieved with what she heard. She didn't even seem to be less hostile towards Molly as the latter had expected. "I know that," Lenny said. Then she turned her gaze to the blue sea and added, "But people sometimes take the second best choice when they are weak in order to make themselves feel good." She looked back at Molly again, "They find spiritual comfort by doing that."

Molly opened her mouth as she thought of explaining things further. However, she closed it again. She was not angry with Lenny. On the contrary, she even thought that people who did things silently for their beloved were worthy of respect and admiration.

"Perhaps you're right..." said Molly softly. "However, that isn't applicable to me. I love Brian and it will never change."

Lenny stared at Molly deeply for a long time before answering, "If that ever happens one day, I hope for you to treat my young master seriously." A tinge of frailty flashed across her eyes as she spoke. She didn't want Eric to get hurt and she wouldn't want Molly to hurt him either. Even though it was evident that Molly didn't love him.

"It will never happen." Molly said with conviction. She knew that nobody could understand how persistent she was with Brian now. If Brian would not want her back and she never managed to go back to his side, she would most likely spend the rest of her life together with Mark.

Lenny didn't say anything more. However, her beautiful almond eyes were suddenly filled with indescribable sadness. She saw Eric when she turned around. He was standing in a corner not far away from her. She gritted her teeth discreetly and walked towards him. And then with a slight bow, she greeted him with respect. "Young master."

"You're not in the position to step in my affairs," Eric replied in a cold tone. His handsome face suddenly looked cruel as he looked down to Lenny.

"..." Lenny didn't answer. She just remained silent with her head bowed.

That was when Molly turned around and saw what Eric was about to do. Her eyes suddenly grew opened in shock as she screamed, "Eric, don't do that!"

"Bang!" a sound of thump suddenly filled the place.

"Oh!"

Lenny automatically covered her tummy with her hands instinctively. She began losing her balance as her feet staggered back some steps. The taste of her own blood spread through her mouth. She tried to hold it back, but she couldn't. Drops of blood started to roll down her chin, staining her once beautiful face red.

What Molly saw paralyzed her for a while. She couldn't even close her jaw when she heard Eric said in a cold tone, "I'm not holding you accountable this time since you had worked for me for quite a while. However, you have to pay attention to your own identity and keep that in mind, Lenny. Otherwise, I would give you a document to cancel the agreement of you being a shadow. I don't want that day to come."

"Yes!" Lenny said as she forced herself to stand straight. She made a slight bow to Eric again. "I will devote my heart, soul, and die for the royal Long Family!"
