"Your wound is kinda deep," Molly said as she raised her head and met Brian's intense gaze on her. Suddenly realizing that she had over reacted, she said in embarrassment," I think you may need to bandage your wound."
Without the slightest trace of pain on his face, Brian pulled his hand back indifferently and took a slight glimpse on his wound. It was not something that he would make a fuss about. He shifted his gaze to Molly and said," Not a big deal. Just have your meal!"
His imperative and cold voice returned. He had come back to his senses from those deep and heavy thoughts a while ago.
Biting her lower lip, Molly gave up and went back to her seat. Brian beckoned the waiter to clear up the broken glass and serve their dishes. Molly suddenly turned her head to look towards her father's table, checking to see if the two men seated there noticed her presence because of her loud reaction a moment ago.
Behind the piano, Steven Xia lowered his head and talked to the man opposite him. The man, meanwhile, furrowed his brows while listening attentively.
Molly had no idea what they were talking about, but she wasn't in the mood to care about that anyway. She moved her gaze away and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the wound in Brian's hand once again. She paused and then, lowering her eyes, asked," Are you sure that you don't need to have it treated?"
"Are you worried about me?" Brian asked as he rested his black eyes on Molly.
Molly raised her head and looked at Brian's bleeding hand, and said," I would be worried about anybody with that wound, not to say... "
"Not to say what?" Brian asked after waiting for her to finish her words.
Molly met Brian's observant eyes which seemed to have read her mind thoroughly. She was scared of such look coming from him. She moved her eyes away, avoiding eye contact with him, and said coyly," I hate to say this, but I have to admit to the fact that you are the first, and so far, the only man that I have ever been intimate with."
Upon hearing her words, Brian's eyes glimmered with a dash of pleasure and his lips spread a sly smile.
When he heard Molly say that he was the first man she had been intimate with, he could feel his heart jumping with joy. However, the words "so far" somewhat sounded irritating to his ears.
"So far? Who else do you plan to be intimate with while you're with me?" Brian asked coldly.
His question agitated Molly. A gush of fury instantly flashed in her eyes. She stared at Brian and snapped," Even if I wish to, will you give me the slightest chance to do so?"
Brian grinned evilly and said coldly," Whether I give your the chance or not is not the point. The point is... if you would dare to do it, I'll make sure your life would be a living hell!"
His threatening words sent a shiver down Molly's spine. She felt the air around her turned colder than the chilly air outside the restaurant.
Her heart trembled. Although she knew that she wouldn't do anything unfaithful, she still felt great horror at the thought of his possible cruel punishment.
Suddenly, Brian's phone rang and vibrated and broke the tense atmosphere around them. Shifting his gaze away from Molly, Brian took out his phone and when he saw the name on the screen, his face instantly glowed with happiness.
