Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 81

"Brian," a soft sweet voice came through the phone. Brian could tell that the woman speaking to him was smiling happily and seemed so glad to talk to him.

The anger on Brian's face had disappeared instantly. His dark eyes slightly lit up and his lips curved in a light smile. It seemed that he was glad to answer the phone call as well. As he noticed that it was late at night already, he said in a low voice," It's very late. Why haven't you slept yet?" The discontent in his eyes could not be hidden as he said those words.

The woman speaking at the other end of the line paused, and then she continued in a softer voice," Brian, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"

These simple words seemed to have touched Brian's heart. His discontent disappeared at once, and the smile on his face became evident. "Where are you?" he asked, as if he had known already the reason why she called.

All the while, Molly was staring quietly at Brian with tears in her eyes. Molly found it a little bit hard to believe that Brian would actually talk to someone in such a gentle voice. Seeing it with her own eyes, she felt a little upset as well. Although she couldn't hear the voice on the phone clearly, she could tell that it was a woman. Just a while ago, Brian had been very mean to her, completely cruel, and unmindful of her feelings. But now, he was talking to a woman on the phone with gentleness and evident concern. The fact that he treated another woman much nicer made her very disappointed.

Could it be the woman in the picture in his study?

The thought stung her brutally. She bit her lips with anger, fighting to control it.

"I've arrived at the airport," the woman on the phone told Brian in a tuneful voice. "The airport in A City," she added with a teasing, smiling tone in her voice.

There was a playful light in Brian's eyes mingled with tenderness, as if he could see the woman smiling at him, blinking. His lips curved in a smile and said," I'm coming to pick you up now."

Before the woman answered him, he hung up. Without glancing at Molly, he told Tony firmly," Stop."

Tony pulled in at the side of the road at once. "Get out," Brian shouted indifferently even before the car completely stopped.

He didn't look at Molly while he spoke, but she knew too well that his words were meant for her. His words stunned her for a while, but the surprise was replaced by sadness and self-mockery immediately. She felt that she was nothing to him, compared to the woman on the phone.

Molly didn't say a word. Instead, she turned around quickly to open the door. Before she was able to set her foot out the door, a strong hand pulled one of her arms suddenly, and stopped her from getting out.

Brian looked at Molly's back quietly while he held her arm. He didn't understand why he wanted to stop her. When he noticed the disappointment in her eyes, he caught her arm subconsciously.

"Aren't you going to pick up someone?" Molly asked coldly in a low voice. Since the door had opened, the cold air had blown into the car. However, the coldness of the air didn't give Brian the chill, the coldness in Molly's voice did.

Brian's eyes darkened as he got angry at her question at once. He had been wondering the reason why he stopped her. Was it because he was worried about her? However, before he could figure it out clearly, she blurted out that stupid question which infuriated him. "Don't wander around. Go home as soon as possible. Do you understand?" he said coldly.

"Umm," Molly answered shortly, feeling sorry for herself. Where else could she go besides his house? She knew well that she couldn't leave him unless he let her.

Thinking of this, she tried to get out of the car again. At least, she could get away from him for a couple of hours, but Brian had held her so tight that she fell to the backseat.
