Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 841

Brain gazed at Molly. Then he put his hand on the back of her head and his handsome face drew closer to hers... Brian's lips covered Molly's, and he tasted her tears.

"Stop it!" The mood was broken by Mark's sharp cry.

Mark tried hard to pull Eric's hands away from his eyes. But no matter how hard Mark tried, Eric's hand still prevented him from looking at his parents. He yelled at Eric, "I wanna see this. Let me go!"

Eric replied to him while staring at the kissing couple, "You should avert your eyes when two people kiss." It wasn't his line. It was a saying from "The Analects of Confucius." And while he hid Mark's eyes, his own were wide open. He was enjoying this too much. With Mark still struggling, he tucked Mark under his arm and took him outside Glamour Hall.

The moon hid itself behind the clouds and the lit up Glamour Hall was conspicuous in the dark night. Eric carried Mark, but he still felt lonely. He was not sure if he could always hold back his tears. It wasn't just Mark that made him leave the ceremony. He kept talking to Mark, hoping to console himself. If he couldn't hold back his tears, he would hurt the great image and dignity of the ruler of Dragon Island!

"Uncle Eric!" Mark sensed something was up, and decided to change the subject. While he was talking to Eric, he put his arms around the man's neck.

"Yes?" Eric replied, still lost in his thoughts.

"Do you want to listen to my song?" Mark asked with a soft voice.

"Of course I do." Eric answered him.

"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are..." Mark sang happily, "You're off-key," Eric reminded Mark. He pretended to judge about Mark's song. Probably he wanted to fill the empty space in his heart with empty words.

"I'm not!" Mark retorted.

"You are!"

"Hah! I'm the best at singing this!" Mark hugged him. He wanted his Uncle Eric to be happy too, and maybe he could if they teased each other.

Eric took Mark back to his bedroom and soon the boy was asleep. Eric stood on the terrace with a cigarette in his hand. The only part visible was the cherry, a red point in the darkness.

He took a drag and blew a puff of smoke out of his mouth. Staring at the moon in the dark sky, he felt as lonely as that lone celestial object. Eric didn't know how much time he needed to get over his fit of loneliness. But he tried to get past it. He really wanted Brian and Molly to be happy. He also wanted to find his own happiness too.

"Hmmm..." "hmmm..."

His phone was buzzing on the desk. Eric entered the room and looked at the flickering screen. He frowned and picked it up after he saw the call was from the police department of Dragon Island.

"Mr. Long," the voice over the phone said. It belonged to the police department minister. "Our patrol team found a suspicious woman near the National Congress. When we questioned her, she insisted that you arranged to meet her there."

Eric frowned and asked, "You get her name?"

"She told us her name was Sara." The voice on the other end of the line replied.

Eric suddenly remembered something from about twenty days ago. He met a reporter at that time. He remembered that he asked Sara to come to him for her camera. But he never mentioned anything about the National Congress.

Thinking about it, Eric told the cop, "Be there soon."

"Yes, sir!" The minister of the police department replied. The minister heard Eric hang up. He put his phone away and raised his head. He made a gesture to the policeman near him and said, "Bring Miss Sara to the reception room
