Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 677 Unwilling To Leave, Unable To Stay (Part One)

You don't really experience life until you go through the entire roller coaster of ups and downs. And after a while, you start to become numb. You're just a robot mourning yesterday's losses, defeats, and heartaches.

The sun rose and the morning came.

Molly got up and went downstairs. She saw Brian and Weston talking to each other at the table. Wing sat next to them, and she sometimes piped in their conversation with a smile on her face. Molly stopped walking and looked at Brian. She felt paralyzed. She couldn't bear to look at Brian-she felt as if a knife was stabbing through her heart every time she did. And this rendered her unable to move.

"Molly," Wing said when she saw Molly standing by the stair case. She looked up and said to her, "Come here and have some breakfast. I'm gonna go to Sasha Music Troupe later, you can come with me."

Molly looked at Brian, and found that he was also looking at her. They just looked at each other without a word. It made things awkward.

Wing looked at them. She could feel something was amiss. She sighed slightly, then winked at Weston.

Weston felt the weight of her eyes on him as she winked at him. He furrowed his black brows and said, "I'll give you a ride. Is that okay?"

Step by step, Molly walked down the stairs and her eyes didn't move from Brian at all. When Molly saw Brian, everything that happened last night instantly flashed in her mind. Last night, they were at the hotel where they first met, where they made love and she liked those days and that made her miss him. But when she left, she found out that Brian had slept with another woman. She was so angry-Brian did it again, he broke her heart again. She knew Brian was always like that and this time, he proved himself right. Gritting her teeth, Molly tried to suppress her anger.

She only found out because she went back to the hotel room but had she not returned, she never would've known. Now she was thinking whether this was the first time Brian's done this or not.

She swallowed and took a deep breath. Then she walked towards Wing and sat down next to her. She didn't say anything; she just ate silently and enjoyed her breakfast in peace. But deep inside, she was furious and she could feel her body burning. 'Brian, this is the end. It's over, we're done, ' Molly thought to herself.

Molly looked out of the window as she sat in the car. In her mind, she was still recalling last night. She couldn't believe that Brian had cheated on her-she felt so broken.

"Molly," Wing called out to her. She snapped out of her daze when she heard Wing's voice. "What happened between you and Brian?" Wing asked. They were obviously fighting the other day. But when Molly fell ill, Brian stayed by her side and took care of her-something which he wanted to keep secret even from Molly. So even though things were pretty intense, Wing still knew that they loved and cared for one another. But this morning, she could immediately tell that something was wrong. She didn't know what happened between them -something was just very different. "Did Brian get mad at you because you went with Spark to the cocktail party?" She asked Molly.

Wing thought maybe that was what angered Brian. She knew that Brian and Molly still loved one another but there was such a wide and continuously growing distance between them. They always seemed to be in conflict mostly because they don't talk about things. Even Shirley wanted to help Molly and Brian fix their communication problems.

Molly shook her head and didn't say anything. Although Brian knew that Molly was at the hotel with Spark, that wasn't the reason why they were fighting. Either way, Molly didn't want to tell Wing what happened yesterday. She was so dejected, "I'm just so worried about Spark." She lowered her eyes and bit her lips, "I'm afraid he won't be able to play anymore for the rest of his life."

Wing sighed at this, "Molly, that's not on you. Stop blaming yourself. You're too hard on yourself and it shouldn't be like that."

"Okay," Molly replied. But she knew that she still wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it. She just couldn't accept that Spark might never play again-that used to be his passion and his life. She decided that once Mark had come back and Spark started to play again, she would leave Brian and bring Mark with her.

Days had passed since the party.

During these days, Brian and Molly ate breakfast together, but they barely talked to each other. In the dead of night, Brian usually walked into her room and sat by her bed. He just looked at her face all night while she slept. He loved her but he wronged her-no matter if it was unintentional, he still wronged her either way.

Weston and Wing had also been living at the villa. They lived with them because they wanted to help Spark stay out of the trouble. On the other hand, Wing also wanted to help Brian and Molly fix their issues. She couldn't figure out what had happened between them, but she knew there was something wrong between them. She tried her best to fix their problem but she just couldn't. They just grew farther apart.

Molly had been acting so distantly and coldly towards Brian while he was acting all secretive there was a wall between them.

Weston tried to convince Wing to stay out of Brian and Molly's problems. For him, it was their problem so they should solve it on their own. You couldn't force people to forgive one another most especially if they weren't even in love in the first place.

Molly and Wing went to the Sasha Music Troupe everyday. While Molly was at work, Wing spent her days at the bakery. When Molly was done with work, she would just cross the street and sit with Wing. They had a mission to accomplish and it was to convince Spark to get his inspiration and passion back. They tried all kinds of tricks-they even tried to threaten him but all to no avail. Spark just grimaced at them. It didn't matter whatever Wing or Molly did because Spark had just completely lost his passion already. Manny was on Wing and Molly's side-in fact, no one wanted for Spark to start playing again than Manny. Not just because he worked for Spark but because he was a friend and he already saw Spark as his own brother. He didn't want to see Spark miserable again-he just wanted to see him happy.

Other times, Harrow visited them at the bakery-he worried about how often Molly was going there and wondered if it was still appropriate. But he found out that whenever Molly was there so was Wing and if this was all okay for Brian then there was nothing to worry about. But still, he couldn't shake off the feeling of worry for Spark. He was scared that Spark might get stuck in a rut and just get frustrated and fall deeper in his hole.

"We're about to leave, see you guys tomorrow!"

their crew came over and bid goodbye. They had all changed out of their uniforms and ready to leave. They had already shut down the lights at the bakery and their only source of light now was the neon lights coming from the streets.

They were all sitting on the sofa at the lounge and they were all looking at Spark who was sitting in front of them. Everyone had a solemn look on their faces. "Spark,"

Molly said seriously, "What can we do to make you play again?"

"I want you to be with me. Marry me," Spark said slickly. They all just rolled their eyes at his answer but Molly knew he was absolutely serious. He loved her that much and he wanted nothing more than to marry her because only Molly could inspire him to play again. "Spark, stop joking. Can you just take this seriously?" Manny said through clenched teeth. Manny knew very well that there was a knot in Spark's stomach that only Molly could untie. So he felt for Spark that Molly didn't want to marry him. [
