Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 756 Allure You Again (Part Two)

To be honest, she had no idea whether her plan would work out or not. She knew how well Brian would respond, in the past, to her sexual advancement and seduction as it worked like a charm every time. But what would happen now since Brian had no feelings for her?

He even felt upset around her. Would he indeed feel sexually aroused after taking the philter soup?

The quack said the philter had a great effect to waken a man's sexual thirst. But some men of strong determination, were hard to be reigned in by the medicine. And men and women were different in appeasing their sexual needs. A woman might need a man to quench her physical thirst, but a man can solve his problem without a woman's assistance.

Molly flushed as soon as this thought came into her mind.

"Brian was an incredibly determined and focused man. Is the dose enough for the philter to take effect?" Molly spoke to herself in a low voice. She pondered for a while before pulling out a tiny bottle, ready to add more medicine into the soup to bypass any risk. All of a sudden, her cell phone rang. She was so surprised by the alert that in a reflex movement her hand shook the entire bottle of powder into the soup.

The powder soon mixed with the boiling soup. Molly looked at it with widened eyes with astonishment. Soon she winked her eyes to ease the strain her eyes felt and murmured, "Is that too much?"

Meanwhile, the phone kept ringing. Molly took out the phone and saw it was a call from Mark. "What's up, Mark?"

"Mom, how's your plan going on?" Mark asked in a childish tone, though fully aware that there might be a great possibility that his mother and Papa Brian had not met yet.

Molly cast a look on the soup and replied, "I'm currently making some preparations in the last moment. I will succeed this time, so to ensure that I must get something done beforehand and be prepared."

Mark's lips curled into an optimistic smile, "You have even made plans for today's action?"

"Yes, that is necessary to succeed." Molly made up her mind and put a lid on the pot. She asked in a soft tone, "What you will have for dinner, with Vincent?"

The car parked in front of a restaurant. Mark glanced at the signboard and answered, "Chinese food, we are just pulling into A-magic, a Chinese restaurant."

Molly exchanged a few more words with Mark before hanging up. She looked blankly ahead at the wall in front of her, sinking into a lull. Her eyes became misty owing to the increasing smoke and steam. Her lips gradually opened into a smile as she thought of her future with Brian. She felt relieved and satisfied with these blissful thoughts.

She must strive and struggle herself, to bring back the happiness she had lost. And to give Mark a family, which he never had, where he could grow up with his father and mother in a loving environment.

"Molly, there is no other choice for you! You must brave your heart and keep going on." Molly's murmur sounded vague in the midst of the soup's boiling noise. She seemed determined as she had already made up her mind. A glint of craftiness flashed in her eyes. "Miss Xia..." Lisa called Molly suddenly as she scurried into the kitchen in fluster, "Mr. Brian Long is home now."

"What?" Molly stared at Lisa as if she had no idea what she was talking about. Soon she regained her consciousness and said, "I'm already prepared. I'll stay in the kitchen, then I'll sneak upstairs after he finishes the soup and heads up."

"Yes." Lisa nodded to confirm her proposal. It was Brian's habit that he immediately headed to his study upstairs after finishing a meal. He never lingered downstairs.

Lisa took in a deep breath before glancing at Molly. She took up the soup that had been prepared by Molly, and went out.

Brian stepped into the room. He changed his shoes and cast a look in the direction of the dining table. Lisa timely welcomed him and said, "Mr. Brian Long, you can shower before dinner."

"All right." Brian did not spot anything unusual and special in the room. He went upstairs, took a shower, changed and walked downstairs. He took his seat by the dining table, watching the dishes on the take with a frown.

Lisa served the soup in a huge bowl and placed it in front of Brian as she said, "Drink some soup first, Mr. Brian Long. We have noodle for dinner tonight. It will be served soon."

She left as soon as she finished speaking. She was afraid that Mr. Brian Long would spot anything usual on her face.

The soup stewed with duck and some wild mushrooms smelled incredibly delicious. Brian's eyes darkened as a melancholic feeling gripped him. His emotions were clearly affected by the encounter with Mark today. Or maybe it was for Molly's sake. He and Molly hadn't seen each other for almost two years. His encounter with her again was beyond his expectations. Recently, he hadn't seen her for three days. He was so unaccustomed without her presence.

He settled his eyes on the dishes laid neatly on the table. He had a strange feeling as those dishes made by Lisa, somehow, reminded him of Molly. The smell was so familiar. But it must be illusion. Brian took up the soup bowl and took a sip. The soup tasted delicious with a flavor of fresh mushrooms. He could not help but take more sips one after another.

Molly was cooking noodle for Brian now. She asked Lisa in a seemingly less concerned manner, "Is he drinking the soup?"

Lisa glanced at outside, unable to see what was happening in the dining room. She lowered her voice and answered, "I filled his bowl entirely with soup. He is probably drinking it now."

Molly curled her lips and smiled. Her eyes sparkled with a glint of sly excitement, but there was no way for Lisa to see it. She scooped out the noodle into a bowl and put the tomato-egg sauce on it. The nice smell brought a confident smile to her face. Then she let Lisa take the noodle out.

Lisa felt nervous while serving the noodle. She put the noodle by Brian's side and cast a secret look at his bowl. Just a small quantity of the soup was left in the bowl. "Mr. Brian Long, the noodle is served. Please take it. I'll wait outside if there is nothing else you want me to do. I'll clean it up after you finish eating." Lisa said in a fluster.

"Lisa!" Brian stopped her as soon as she turned to leave.

"Uh huh?" Lisa's heart missed a beat as she frowned and asked, "Yes, is there anything else, Mr. Brian Long?"

"Uncle Dean's 90-year-old birthday is coming soon. John and you must attend the birthday party on my behalf." Brian said abruptly while staring at the noodle placed in front of him, "Tell John to fetch my birthday gift for Uncle Dean from Tony. You should take my gift when you go for the celebration."

Lisa felt relieved. She nodded and said "Yes" before she left.

Brian still settled his eyes on the noodle in front of him. The hot steam spread across the room, alerting everyone of its delicious flavor. But he did not intend to try it. At last, he stood up from his seat and moved towards the mini bar counter. The noodle was still hot with a trace of steam. Brian placed his hand in his trouser pockets and held a goblet in the other. A sweet fragrance from the scarlet red liquid filled the air. 00000
