Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 965

she thought in her heart but didn't dare utter the words out loud. As the silent words etched into her heart, she sat weak and limp in the chair. Her eyes trailed off, staring into nothingness.

Aaron gestured to Brian, who was sitting opposite him, by raising the glass of wine in his hand. Brian glanced at him with his falcon-like eyes and closed his thin lips while he raised his glass of wine as well. His movement looked extremely cold as if he was telling everybody else to keep away from him.

It had been two years since Aaron had last seen Brian through a video call. He didn't attend the opening ceremony of Grand Night Casino in QY Island. Instead, he had sent Jason and Shane in his place. Brian had looked like a wild man on the video call last time, but now he looked quite domineering, just like a king. His falcon-like eyes rotated slightly, giving off a cold and menacing appearance.

While they were engaged in conversation, Aaron's phone beeped with a message, and he opened his cellphone. With his eyes lowered, he clenched his jaw slightly, causing his temples to move. Aaron couldn't help but purse his lips when he read the short message.

Brian's deep eyes had been fixed on Aaron the whole time. At the sight of Aaron's expression, an almost invisible smile played on Brian's thin lips. He twirled the glass of wine with his slender fingers and asked in a dull tone,"Is there anything that could cause trouble for you in QY Island? !"

Upon hearing the question, Aaron raised his eyes to look at Brian. In an indifferent tone, Brian continued,"Is that about a woman?"

Aaron reacted by frowning as his mind was read by another person, even if that person was Brian Long. He still felt uncomfortable and vulnerable.

"It's nothing," Brian said, looking at Aaron. "Everyone has that somebody or something that they're not able to let go of their whole lives." It sounded as though he was talking from experience. "Don't beat yourself up because of it... We're only human, and some things are just too difficult to overcome in life," he added.

A tinge of bitterness appeared at the corners of Aaron's mouth. He looked at Brian, and Brian was looking at him. Without saying a word to each other, they both raised their glasses as if to toast silently and they sipped the wine. Sometimes it wasn't necessary for men to talk about what they were feeling with each other. They could understand each other tacitly.

The dinner dragged out until midnight.

Brian didn't stay long in QY Island. Instead, he only went to the casino to

have a look before he flew back to T City.

Aaron watched as Brian's private jet turned on the runway and then accelerated with a roar of its engine as it took flight. He then turned around and left the airport.

Ken was driving the car, heading to the manor. The car passed through the most prosperous roads in QY Island that were lit up with different colored neon lights. As the car sped past, the lights gave out the most beautiful colors, like dazzling fireworks in the sky, while leaving behind sad figures and lonely hearts in the night.

As soon as the car stopped, Aaron got out and strode towards the manor. On the way there, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye that stopped him in his tracks.

He turned his head to look in the direction that had caught his eye, and there he saw a light coming from the garden house. It was only a dim light, but he noticed it because he hadn't seen any activity there for the whole of one year.
