Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1205 Extra Story 95 Of Charlie Meet His Parents

Molly tried to replace Elsa from the crowd of guests. She could not say which one was her.

Addison stole a glance at Elsa, who was retreating slowly behind Olivia and Ann with the hope of hiding herself. The smile at the corners of his mouth deepened. He said, "Mom, you'd better not go talk to her now. Charlie has just formally established a relationship with his little girlfriend after trying really hard. If she runs away because of you, Charlie would be heartbroken."

Hearing Addison's warning, Molly pouted. When she saw the serious look in his eyes, she sighed and withdrew. "I'm just realizing how difficult it is to replace a daughter-in-law," she said. She looked at Brian, who was by her side. "I finally understand why Mom was worried when she saw you.

"Brian raised one of his eyebrows, with a half smile on his lips. Whenever Molly talked about the children, she would somehow end up shifting the conversation to him.

His smile widened when he saw her warm blush. Evelyn successfully kicked Ezra with a little help from Charlie, while Brian hinted to Addison with his eyes.

Addison nodded to him. He turned around and walked towards the media. As he scanned the crowd with his eyes swiftly, the previously noisy media people fell into complete silence. "Due to lack of time, the engagement ceremony of my younger sister with Mr. Zhou has been cancelled. We will once again invite you all to attend her engagement ceremony during the next summer vacation. Please accept my apology for making you come here in vain," Addison said with a poster smile. As soon as his words faded, he hinted to the manager of the hotel. Then he turned around and left, ignoring the press photographers who were calling out to him.

The media was dissatisfied with the hearsay engagement ceremony, which seemed like a farce now. However, since Addison had promised in person that they would be invited to the real engagement ceremony, all of them relaxed and talked among themselves about the events of the day. They knew that the CEO of the Dragon Empire Group would not go back on his words.

"Everybody! Buffet is being served in the hotel restaurant. Please follow me," the manager of the hotel restaurant said to the media people with a smile. He guided them to the restaurant, where delicious food was waiting for them as compensation for the cancelled ceremony.

When the crowd had dispersed, Evelyn ran towards Brian and Molly. Looking at Molly with a smile, she greeted her in a sweet voice, "Mom." Then she encircled her arms around Brian's neck and kissed him on the cheek. Rubbing her face against her father's neck, she said, "Dad, I've missed you so much."

Since her childhood, Evelyn had loved acting coquettishly in Brian's embrace. Even though she was all grown up now and no longer needed to be carried around by Brian, she still liked holding onto her father lovingly. Brian's heart always melted in an instant under her warm love.

"I see. So you've only been missing your dad..." Molly stated in a jealous tone.

Evelyn laughed and let go of Brian to hug her mom tightly. She remained in her embrace for a few seconds, and said in a playful tone, "I've missed you too, Mom." Molly smirked, knowing all her tactics. Then with a bright smile, Evelyn shifted the topic. "When did you guys arrive? Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back?"

"We heard that you were running wild as soon as we got off the plane. So, we took the yacht directly from Dragon Island," Brian said, trying his best to sound strict. But the expression in his eyes was clearly saying, "Run wild as much as you like!"

Molly could not help but roll her eyes. Although Brian always acted coldly in front of others, he was such a softy when it came to their children, especially Evelyn. Molly always ended up being the strict parent. Brian pampered Evelyn to no end that she had ended up with a daughter who feared nothing at all.

After the family had time to exchange hugs, the members of Madness Is Good, who knew Brian and Molly personally, walked up to them and greeted them politely. Even those who didn't know them personally had heard of the legendary Brian Long.

Elsa was among those who had been staring at the family. She had the most complicated expression on her face, which clearly reflected the fear in her heart.

"It is so strange that such a legendary figure would act in such a benign manner." Ann could not help but sigh at the elderly man. "I wish I could take a few photos and sell them to some newspaper. I'm sure I can make a fortune from them."

Anna turned to look at Ann's longing face and then looked at Brian. She was more interested in the influence he had in the city rather than the man himself. The Long Family held a supreme position in the city because of the hard work of their previous generations. Working for some subsidiary of the Dragon Empire Group was the dream of every new graduate.

As an analysis major, Anna knew that she would have a tough time getting into a good job. Aged analysts were majorly disliked for their dull brains. So, there was not much time for analysts to waste on meager jobs. She had to get into a good company soon after graduation, so that she could earn more money than ordinary employees.

Anna peeked at Elsa, who was still hiding behind Olivia and Ann. She was embarrassed to ask her for this favor, but she had to admit that it was a chance she could not let go. She figured that she might get to work for the Dragon Empire Group if Elsa asked Charlie to help her out. She firmly believed that she could repay the Dragon Empire Group with outstanding performance if she was given such a platform.

Brian, Molly and Evelyn went to the presidential suite of the hotel after mingling with some people for a while. Charlie and Addison stayed behind. The brothers had other things in mind.

Addison saw Charlie looking in Elsa's direction. He shook his head and said with a coy smile, "I'll see you later."

"Hmm," Charlie hummed lazily and started walking towards Elsa.

When Elsa saw Charlie approaching her, she hid herself completely behind Anna. However, Charlie grabbed her wrist and said, "Come with me." Overwhelmed by his domineering aura, she could do nothing but nod and be pulled away by him.

"She is so doomed," Ann said, shaking her head when she saw how obedient Elsa was in front of Charlie.

"Yup...So doomed," Olivia echoed Ann.

Anna chuckled. She said, "A man as powerful as Charlie is exactly who Elsa needs."

Ann and Olivia nodded in agreement.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Olivia asked, stretching her arms. The engagement ceremony had turned out to be a farce, and Elsa had been taken away by Charlie. They had nothing to do now, but they didn't just want to stay at the hotel and enjoy the view outside the windows.

Shrugging, Ann suggested, "How about going to the beach?"

"That sounds good," Olivia nodded and then looked at Anna for confirmation.

With a smile, Anna said, "I don't care where we go. Anywhere is okay for me, because it is all the same if Elsa is not around." The three girls burst into laughter, without caring about the stares they were getting from around them.

But Olivia's laughter died soon. The doors of an elevator opened at that moment and Quiet Misery walked out. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
