Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 252 Photos and Two Snowmen! (Part Four)

Brian looked at Molly with deep loving eyes and was about to say something when Eric interrupted him, "Wow, this is so memorable. How could we not take some pictures of these shining under this beautiful light?"

He took out his phone, pulled Molly in front of the snowmen, pulling his arms around her shoulder and began taking selfies with her. As Eric went on clicking pictures, he asked Brian in a challenging tone, "Would you like to take one with us?" Brian looked at Molly's optimistic eyes and let his eyes glance over Eric's arms which were still around her shoulder. "No, this is all too childish," he said in a cold voice. He then turned around to walk right back into the mansion. Molly dropped her eyes to hide her sadness and then forced a smile. Eric looked at her with a glimmer of jealousy. "Brian only took pictures during his childhood. After that, he has never taken any pictures," he said in a bid to console him. Molly looked up at him and shrugged to prove the point that she was fine. Then she made a gesture indicating that she wanted to sleep.

"Sure, let's head inside. You've been in the cold yard the entire night. Take a warm bath before you go to sleep, okay?"

Eric said as he walked Molly inside the mansion with his arms around her shoulder to keep her warm. Molly was very sad to break loose from his embrace and walked inside with him. She turned around to see the snowmen one last time before she stepped inside. 'Bri, thank you for such a wonderful night. No matter what happens in the future, I will never forget what you did for me tonight!

Eric, thank you for what you did too. I know you only want to provoke your brother. But still thank you for making the time and joining us."

Molly thought to herself with gratitude.

At the Matterhorn Glacier, Shirley bent over the hotel's table and watched Soul of Love sickness which had been processed. "Richie, 17 down and there is only one more to go," she said with a content and assuring smile. Eighteen was indeed her lucky number as she met the man who meant everything to her when she was just 18-years-old.

Richie didn't respond and instead keep looking at the computer screen in front of him, with a growing frown. There was resignation on his face.

"What's wrong?" Shirley asked as she saw his cold and withdrawn expression. She leaned in close to see the code on the computer and asked with a vacant look,"Is something wrong with XK Intelligence Agency?"

"Brian has done something with my database," Richie said in a cool and composed tone, "He simply won't let it go. He just wants to know more and won't stop at nothing."

"Are you referring to Little Molly's background?" asked Shirley curiously.

Richie leaned back on the chair and asked reflectively,"That's not the main issue. I am actual worried he will replace out something he isn't supposed to know as he is moving ahead at this rate. It will just land us in big trouble."

In the world, none of the countries would let any situation arise where their rule was threatened. For what happened with Steven, it seemed that it was caused by him, but the reality was that some powerful clans and parties were involved in the plan. They didn't care about other people's death and life when it came to fulfilling their interests. That's why he didn't want Brian to extract any more information. Molly was just a fuse, but Brian may not be able to handle the situation once it was lit. Watching Richie's nervous expression, Shirley asked worriedly, "Can Brian be dangerous?"

"No, it's nothing. I am just worried that he is too impulsive and would land up in a frightful muddle!" Richie signed. He loved his boy dearly, but sometimes Brian could stir up some trouble for him which was a cause for concern. "You must help him!" Shirley said with a stiff and strict face.

Richie pulled his arms around her and sighed, "Brian is young. Sometimes such setbacks could teach him valuable lessons which are necessary. No one can remain powerful forever you know. He has to learn how to hide his candle under a bushel, when the situation calls for it."

Shirley understood what he was trying to convey. She agreed, but still couldn't help worrying for her son. After all, it was a mother's nature to worry and want her child to be safe always.

Richie looked at Shirley who was increasingly concerned and consoled her, "Don't worry. I won't let him get hurt. I will handle the situation."

Shirley smiled and nodded with satisfaction..

The next day, the weather in A City seemed warm and bright.

The sun was graciously shinning all across the city.

There was an opulent apartment building in the center of A City. Justin enjoyed his tea on the closed balcony of his luxury apartment which was on 17th floor. His deep eyes were fixed on the railing which was still covered in snow.

Justin put down his cup to reach his phone which was ringing.

"Mr. Yan, the special technical troop led by Howard has finished the geological research of A City!" A man informed carefully from the other side of the phone.

"Assassinate Mr. Brian Long on the grounds of him sabotaging international friendship and hindering relations," Justin demanded in a soft tone.

"Copy that!" The firm voice affirmed the command.

Justin hung up the call and continued to enjoy his tea. No one's life was valuable enough when compared with the national interest. Brian Long, an immature dork who simply came upon some money from casino and stock market, had dared to get something which was way beyond his reach. He shouldn't have pushed the limits. 0000000
