Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 837

"I was just thinking about some things," Molly said casually, but her eyebrows lifted subconsciously at the turmoil in her heart.

Mark winked and smiled at her with a hint of certainty in his young eyes. "You are not pleased because Papa Brian hasn't proposed to you, right?" he asked, looking into her eyes and waited for her confession.

Molly was taken aback by his words. Her lips trembled and she was silent for some time, not knowing how to make excuses for her obvious displeasure which had already unraveled in front of Mark.

Mark grinned, revealing his adorable dimpled cheeks. "Mommy..." he drawled, staring sardonically at her.

Bewildered by his presence and the way he was digging into things, Molly frowned sullenly and pinched his cheeks lightly, motioning for him to stop his questioning.

However, her actions intrigued Mark even more. His eyes kept twinkling at her above a wonderful, bright and golden smile mounted on his face. "Mommy, I have a message for you from Aunt Wing. She asked you not to marry Papa Brian if he doesn't propose to you. I kind of agree with her point on this thing. I think it is a little degrading to marry a man without first receiving his proposal. What do you think?" he asked cheekily.

Molly's mind went even glummer upon hearing his words. "Mark, was Papa Brian there when your Aunt Wing said this to you?" she asked Mark rather nervously, suddenly thinking of the possibility that Brian might had already known her intention.

Mark, seeing to the heart of her concerns, pursed his lips and considered for a while before he shook his head in denial and said, "I don't think Papa Brian is aware..." His voice trailed off as he was not actually certain about Brian's awareness of their discussion. "I think Aunt Wing would not tell Papa Brian. She knows the wedding would lose its meaning if he were pushed into making a proposal first. It ought to be him that makes the proposal of his own free will," he concluded in a grown-up manner rather beyond his years.

Molly's mind darkened with a deep sense of disappointment and she felt a touch of helplessness. She knew Brian was never a romantic or spontaneous person. It would be a miracle if the idea of proposing came to him. Even hearing him say that he loved her had cost her so much difficulty and had taken so many years of hard times. If she had only been permitted to marry him once he proposed, then she believed that she would have waited for eternity and never married him at all!

Sighing deeply under her breath, Molly continued to lapse into her profoundly entangled feelings about her upcoming wedding. How perfect she wished this marriage to be! She was greatly looking forward to her happy ending with Brian after so many years of hardship.

After playing with his blocks for some time, Mark ran outside to play with Eric. And as Brian was out attending to some business, Molly was left alone in the large, vacant Glamour Hall.

The sun galloped across the sky and sunk into the western horizon. In the distance, the angry redness of the fading sun fringed the clouds with a colorful display of amazing light. It was as if the clouds had become the beautiful dresses of young girls who prepared for their graduation prom.

After a while, Molly rose from her seat and went to phone Brian. But before she could take more than a few steps, she heard the thumping of approaching footsteps on the porch floor.

Just as she craned her neck to see through the window to find out who it was, the door was pushed open and Brian entered.
