Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 692 The Endless Loneliness And Profound Hope (Part Two)

Gradually his eyes grew deep and dark with rage, especially when his eyes caught sight of the place that the animal was resting his paws, which just happened to be a sensual part of her body.

Sensing Brian's anger, the animal backed away at once. He moaned softly under his breath as he looked up subserviently at Brian and to seek approval. And then he looked around. As if he was a mouse looking for a hole to tuck himself into in order to escape being captured. At length, he lay down on the grass with his front paws extended in front and lowered his head to look at the ground as if he was ready to be punished by Brian.

Molly instantly rose and started up to her feet, then without setting eyes on Brian, she went ahead and left him.

The Black Wolf barked looking at her receding back. He was baffled at her indifference toward Brian. Molly neither turned around nor slowed her pace. Her steps were fixed and firmly placed one after another to move ahead. The animal moaned continuously as she slowly grew smaller fading into the distance. He turned to look at Brian, and instantly, as if he was completely sure what was in Brian's mind, he leapt up at an instance and ran after Molly.

"Mr. Brian Long?" The head of the men asked slightly at him, wondering if he should stop the dog.

Brian remained silent. His eyes were staring at Molly's direction. He simply wanted to see her, no matter if he would be treated coldly and nonchalantly.

A wry smile slowly crept up to his face. A small, helpless smile that none of his men noticed. The Black Wolf was still running after her. How cynically alike he was with the animal! Much as he had been treating her with cold and impassive attitude, but deep down in his heart, he could not bear to be ignored by her, to be abandoned by her. He wanted her love, her care so badly. Just like the Black Wolf, he may be close to anyone, or even intimate to Richie or Shirley, but he had never been so subservient to anyone and never did he yearn love from anyone like he was from Molly. What the Black Wolf was doing was literally the manifestation of his own feelings, to run after her and beg her to love him.

"Let him be," after a short silence, he said lightly, "Maybe it is better to keep him by her side." It occurred in his mind that it may be more secure to have the Black Wolf protect her. After all, he could not absolutely rely on his people to keep an eye on her all the time. There would always be some gaps, some time that they would be negligent owing to human error. Although this manor was supposed to be the safest place that he could think of, he could not bear to have the thought of having any loophole allowing vulnerability. Even a minor injury on his loved ones would drive him mad. He knew that, whoever that was hiding behind all of the incidents would be a ruthless, malicious person. His power could never be denied as he had had the ability to turn on Vincent who used to be so indifferent at anything. And to track down a person of this level, it could never be so easy.

He was interrupted by the sound of his phone. He came out of his trance and answered his phone. And without waiting for any sound from the other end, he said briefly, "If you still want to talk about Molly, then I will hang up." His voice was short and firm.

"Who said I want to talk about Molly?" Came Wing's strident and querulous voice from the other end. "I just wanted to have breakfast with you," she said.

"I won't be free the entire day today," He refused and started to walk out of the manor. However after a few steps, he halted and added, "Why? Isn't it enough that your husband is with you at your breakfast?"

A small smile drew into Wing's face. She knew how much she mattered to him. "It is not the same. I just want you to have breakfast with me. That is all!" she cried helplessly. A tang of anger reflected in her voice. He could imagine the sulky look appearing on her face. Although she assured that she would not talk about Molly, but Brian knew very well in his heart that there would be nothing else she intended to speak about. However, he did not have the heart to refuse Wing. So in the end, he gave up to her pleading and accepted her request.

Weston's remained eyes fixed on Wing as she talked to Brian over the phone. After she hung up, he requested, "Wing, I sincerely request you not to interfere between Brian and Molly. He doesn't want you!"

"How couldn't I? It would get worse if I am out of it," Wing retorted. Her brows slightly knitted in anger and her face turned gloomy. "I know Brian. He is an unruly and obstinate fellow. Being his sister, I have the responsibility to help him adjust his attitude to make everything right. You don't know how much more panic it will bring if Shirley replaces out." Then after a pause, she glared sullenly at him and said, "You went to see Brian last night. What did you promise me before you went? Turned out you did not say anything. You liar!"

"Mom will understand," he said. He seemed to have gotten a different kind of understanding of the entire situation. Then he resumed, "I believe Brian. He will make the right decision and will get everything in line eventually. Intervening his business at this critical moment will not help him. So I think we should lie low and let him concentrate on handling things in his fashion."

"Do you know anything that I don't know?" With the skeptical look on her face, she inquired. She got a gut feeling that there might be something that Weston was hiding from her, or otherwise, he would not change his mind after having met with Brian the night before. Weston shrugged his shoulders in a casual manner and said, "Nothing. It is just a man's hunch. I kind of understand Brian's feeling. But I cannot be certain that my hunch is based on something concrete. At any rate, Brian has come to his own decision, and I know he had never been slack on anything that he has done so far, not to mention now it is about Molly and him. He would only think for the best options for both of them. We should believe him." There was a sense of determination in his eyes.

"Weston..." Wing drawled in hesitation and asked, "Brian is intending on letting Molly go, is he?"

"Probably," Weston replied, in a voice that was quite sure and positive.

A wry smile writhed her lips. "If he had decided to let go, then why did he hold her up in the first place and made her blame him, even loathe him now?" she asked with growing confusion.

"Wing, you don't understand. There are certain things that men and women think and do in a different way," he said, looking deeply into her eyes. Wing remained silent for a moment. She kept looking at him with slow and pensive eyes for some time.

And then she sighed. "Is it really what he expected?" Her smart and clever mind had already guessed out what Weston meant, which was apparently a very hurtful fact for Brian. She resumed, in a sad and thoughtful voice, "After all, this is the love that he has always craved for from his childhood. No matter it is sweet or painful, he would definitely not want to give up on."

"I know," said Weston wistfully, "but when it comes to hurt her only to keep her safe, one would prefer to give up and let her go."

Wing's eyes round with full of sorrow and pity about Brian. There were almost tears glistening in there. After a while, she said in a trembling voice, "I don't understand. Does it really have to go down like this? That being misunderstood by someone he loved, or even be hated?"

Weston did not respond. His eyes looked over Wing and gazed at Brian who was standing not far away, looking at them. There was a deep, indescribable helpless look on Weston's face. He thought of what he would do if he were in Brian's position. He felt that he too would do the same, that is to make her completely and absolutely hate himself, detest himself, and in the end, force her to run away from himself on her own will. For the rest of her life, maybe she would think of him sometime, but that recollection would only be a hate than a pain. Only in this way, she could actually completely give up on him and have the chance to start her life all over again. 0000
