Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 799

It turns out that hope can be turned to despair within a blink of an eye.

And vice versa.

Flashes were the only source of light at the moment. The madly clicking camera shutters from the reporters were drowning all other voices. Yet, under the lights and cameras, Molly felt that there was nobody else in the world but she and Brian as they looked at each other. Their eyes were showing millions of complex emotions. The feelings pouring from them were so complicated that it was hard for the crowd and even themselves to figure them out.

Molly knew that she should never spill out any information about the engagement. It was too late now though since she couldn't take back what she said anymore. The result of the engagement news would be humiliating. It would be a disaster if she and Eric would be written in the headlines just because of her bad mood. However, the reckless rage that came to her earlier was just too strong that it made her lost her mind and self-control.

"Mr. Eric Long is not here, Miss Xia. Are you sure that the engagement you just said is true?" one of the reporters asked pointedly.

"Does Mr. Long know about this news?" another reporter asked doubtfully.

"..." Molly just remained silent as she showed no interest to answer the questions bombarding her. She couldn't even care less about the flashes that were focused on her face.

She was just staring at Brian's eyes angrily as if she wanted to read his mind.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" the woman next to Brian asked curiously while looking at Molly's angry glare. She was an epitome of arrogance. It seemed so natural for her to appear so conceited while standing next to Brian.

On the other hand, Brian didn't speak and just stayed looking back at Molly too. He didn't know what was the matter with him at the moment. He was just blank. He wanted to move forward and stop the messy situation Molly was stirring. However, he felt powerless to do so.

The questions being thrown by the reporters gradually turned from simply digging facts to deliberately accusing. Most of them were full of doubts about Molly's news. Mr. Long was a powerful man and a huge name. The thing that the woman said wasn't just simple news but an important one. Each one of them just couldn't consider Molly's announcement as something credible since things shouldn't be announced as casually.

"Miss Xia, may I ask if you're talking in behalf of the royal Long Family? Moreover, do you really think it's possible for you to have an engagement ceremony with Mr. Eric Long at the Dragon Island this month?" one of the reporters asked again. It was easy to tell how persistent he was to get more information about the royal family.

"Of course, it's true!" It was then that Eric's firm voice took everyone's attention. His loud voice sounded oppressive and commanding. After all, he was the current ruler of the Dragon Island. Just as everyone present was still wondering about his words, Eric had already held Molly into his arms. He then scanned the reporters with his deep eyes and said, "Mol and I are going to have an engagement ceremony this month. It would be at the Central Square of Dragon Island. As for the exact ceremony time, it's not convenient for us to reveal it for the time being."

Eric's statement was delivered in a very casual way. It even sounded trivial. Nevertheless, his words were like stones thrown into water that stirred up thousands of waves. All the reporters got even more uncontrolled. Every one of them was suddenly pushing their luck to step closer to Eric and Molly. They kept pressing the shutter madly as more and more questions were pouring out from them.

The security guards were now having a hard time keeping the reporters away. Lenny protected Eric and Molly from the reporters as she pushed through the crowd. They needed to get into the hotel fast. Molly was well protected inside Eric's arms as they trudged through people. However, she stayed staring at Brian as she waited for his response. Every minute that passed her by broke her heart a little

until Lenny finally managed to get them back to the hotel lobby. Meanwhile, Molly remained looking in the same direction where Brian was the whole time.

Lenny gazed at Molly with respect. Little did anyone know how hard she was clutching her fist behind her back, 'How could you be so reckless and bring such big trouble to my young master? Worse, why are you still so indifferent to him after all the things he had done for you?' Lenny's mind was racing.

"Mol?" Eric called her softly, trying to remind her to withdraw her gaze. His eyes then landed on Brian and the woman next to him. He then said calmly, " Mol, I'll walk you upstairs. You need to rest."
