Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 588 The Return Flight (Part Three)

Molly looked at the card, on which there was graceful and clear handwriting. She was able to feel Ximena's wishes for her sincerely. At the same time, Molly could also recognize her hopelessness and pain, but even so, Molly was able to feel a deep love within her, which she never regretted though she was not happy at present. No, maybe she was happy. She fell in love with Aaron, didn't she? She loved Aaron deeply, even though he had never loved her.

Molly folded the card silently. Her finger pulled the lid of the box and slid the bracelet in the velvet box softly. She gently picked it up and placed it on the palm of her hand, while the crystal in the bracelet shined faintly as she moved. Even if she might get hurt, even though she might be fooled, should she still love him with all her heart?

Thinking of that, Molly's eyes turned moist. Ximena understood her well and knew that she only needed to be encouraged. Ximena knew that once she took a step forward, she would accept any result that might come.

Brian did not know what Ximena had written to Molly. When he saw the crystal in the bracelet, he frowned slightly. If he guessed it correctly, it should be the crystal pellet wrapped by the jade seal of the Leng Family. The airplane flew steadily in the clouds until it disappeared at the other end of the blue sky. Ximena stood at the fence outside the airport, looking at airplanes taking off and disappearing in her sight one by one. The wind was so strong that her silky hair was disheveled. She placed her hands lightly on the steel grate. As one more airplane took off, she raised one of her hands slowly to wave goodbye, until it disappeared in the sky.

"Well, are you that eager to be free?" an ice-cold voice coming from her back said. Aaron looked with his sharp eyes at her wrist, where something seemed to be missing.

Ximena withdrew her hand. With a bitter smile at the corners of her mouth, she said in a low voice, "Aaron, you know for a fact that I won't leave. Even though I want to be free, I won't leave you."

"Whoosh!"

Ximena's hand was grasped by Aaron all of a sudden. He looked at her with his cruel and cold eyes, gritting his teeth, he asked, "Where is the bracelet?"

His grip was too tight that she started to feel an intense pain, but she refrained from crying. Perhaps it was because she had cried too many times that she was tired of just letting her tears fall. She answered calmly despite the pain, "I've given it to Molly..." "Are you getting so well with Mrs. Long? So well that you've given her your most important possession?" Aaron sneered while asking. "Do you think that Mr. Brian Long will help you for Mrs. Long's sake when he replaces out what the bracelet is, so that you will have the chance to get back to him?"

Looking at Aaron and hearing his questions, Ximena suddenly burst into a laugh. She began to wrestle her wrist from his big hand, regardless of the pain. Then, she took a cold look at him, and turned around before walking towards the parking lot.

If they had to keep being suspicious of each other, so let it be. She was exhausted. She was so tired that what she only wanted was to finish quietly the remaining journey by his side. She didn't want to fight for anything, neither was she extravagantly hoping for anything. She thought, 'Molly, I hope you and Mr. Brian Long will be happy hand in hand forever. Never allow suspicion to get between the both of you. Otherwise, you would fail to live up to the happy fate that God has arranged for you!'

In A City

It was drizzling. The air was filled with the smell of soil and grass. Different from the subtropical climate in QY Island, A City felt a little cold after the rain, even though it was in the middle of summer.

Brian and Molly got off the airplane and exited the airport straight through the VIP passage where Tony was waiting for them.

"Go to Smile," Brian ordered in an apathetic tone.

Tony took a glance in the rear mirror and answered politely before changing the route, and heading to Smile.

Molly, though a little confused, thought that Brian might have wanted to see Eric, so she did not ask him why. After all, she had never been a talkative person.

When they arrived at Smile, a greeter opened the car door for them with an umbrella in his hand and escorted them into the hotel. Brian and Molly entered an elevator and went to the floor where presidential suites were located. Brian stopped his footsteps in front of one of the suites and rang the doorbell.

The door was opened immediately. Seeing the people inside, Molly opened her eyes wide, as if she could not believe what she was seeing, then in a somewhat quivering voice, she uttered, "Aunt Shirley?"

Shirley was not expecting to see Brian and Molly. Ignoring Brian, she looked at Molly's hand, on which a ring mounted with the Soul of K that belonged to XK Intelligence Agency was worn. As soon as she saw this, she grinned from ear to ear and said, "Aunt Shirley? Shouldn't you change the way you call me now?"

While saying that, Shirley excitedly pulled Molly, who was a little flushed, into the room while completely ignoring Brian. She asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Eric took Mark to have some dessert a moment ago."

"We just got off the plane." Brian answered in an apathetic voice, and then he greeted Richie and walked towards him, "Richie, has Wing mentioned when she will be coming?"

"Eric has just finished the things here. Wing might come probably next week." Richie looked at Molly. He hadn't seen her since he "sent" her away from the hospital last time. Although he was dissatisfied with her, he wouldn't push his opinion about her, because she was the choice of Brian himself.

"Mr... uncle!" Molly could not conceal her nervousness in front of Richie.

"Since you and Brian have already registered for marriage officially, I agree with Shirley that you should change the way you call us," said Richie. Different from what the older people might usually think, he didn't mind the two getting married despite their absence and their opinions. He loved Shirley, so he would also try to love those who Shirley loves.

Molly both looked shyly and nervously at Brian and then at Shirley. Finally, in face of the expecting yet nervous sight of Shirley, she opened her mouth lightly and said, "Dad, mom."

Hearing that, Shirley was too moved to say anything. She just walked around to look for something as a gift to Molly for meeting them first time as their daughter-in-law. However, she didn't replace anything appropriate. It just happened so suddenly that she didn't have time to prepare.

"Your Firefly Stone has been given to Mol," said Brian. He smiled slightly unconsciously as he saw that Shirley looked ecstatic about it.

"Oho?" Shirley smiled as she heard what Brian said. Then she said, "Well, it happens too suddenly today. I don't have anything on hand. Later, Richie and I will choose a good gift for you." "Aunt S... mom, it's unnecessary..."

"Tsk-tsk, it's necessary!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began chatting, while the topic shifted from the gift to the wedding process. At the same time, Richie and Brian were talking about the incident this time.

As they were talking warmly in two groups, Shirley's cellphone rang. Seeing that it was from Eric, she could not wait a moment to pick it up and flaunted that Little Molly had become her little devil. But before she was able to say anything, Eric's voice came urgently on the phone, "Aunt Shirley, Mark was involved in an accident!
