Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 787 A Threesome Trip To Sun Island (Part Three0

As long as she was happy and safe, what did it matter if he was devastated for the rest of his pitiful life? The roar of the aircraft reminded him of where he was headed. The plane soared through the sky carrying the three different minds. The closer the plane was getting to

Sun Island, the bluer the sky seemed to become.

At the Special Forces base called The Sharp Sword in an undisclosed military location, a soldier swiftly walked towards the Major General's office.

When he arrived at his door, the senior soldier halted and knocked. He asked loudly, "May I come in, Sir?"

"Come in," Major General Edgar said without raising his head. He was busy with some documentation job.

The soldier, dressed in a special training suit, walked closer to the General's desk. He stopped in front of his desk, stood in attention and gave a sharp salute. "General, I got the notice that you were looking for me," he reported.

"Yes," said Edgar. After signing the last regional document, he looked up at the soldier with a faint smile. He took a letter out of his desk drawer and extended it to him. Edgar read the name tag on the soldier's chest-Daniel Xia. Daniel looked at the letter, confused.

"Take it," Edgar ordered, "See who wrote it to you."

"Yes Sir!" Daniel said, taking the letter from him. He read the words on the envelope. His name was written on it in a familiar handwriting and his heart lurched. Without minding the rules or regulations of the army, he slit open the envelope in a hurry. Before reading the content, he directly jumped to the signature at the end of the letter which said, 'Your sister, Molly'. His lips trembled and tears started welling up in his eyes.

"You will be allowed an hour off to calm yourself down," Edgar said sternly. "After the allotted time, you will get back to the ground and continue your training." Daniel looked at Edgar with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Yes, General! Thank you, General!" He offered another bold salute to his leader.

"You may leave," Edgar dismissed him.

"Yes, General!" Daniel said. Then he turned around and marched solemnly out of the office. As soon as he was outside the door, he could no longer restrain his excitement. He looked at the letter in his hand, and his eyes were instantly misty. He scurried to replace a private place to read the letter.

Edgar watched from his office window as Daniel scurried off to a secluded spot. He sighed with a smile at the corner of his lips.

'Molly, I hope you'll be immensely thrilled when you see how much Daniel has changed. I hope it makes you happy," Edgar thought.

Just at the moment, his phone rang loudly on his desk.

Edgar withdrew his gaze from the window, picked up the phone and said, "This is Edgar."

"Edgar," came the voice of his senior officer from the other end, "The new project designed during the last headquarters meeting will be carried out in your base-The Sharp Sword. The military has sent a team to your base. You should arrange everything for them." "Yes Sir!" Edgar responded immediately, and then added, "Sir, may I know in advance which team has been sent to our base?"

"You sneaky boy!" the officer said and laughed as he realized Edgar's intentions. "Well, as per your request, I had suggested to the Commander that Cathy and her team be sent to your base."

"I see. Thank you, Sir!" Edgar replied enthusiastically.

"Edgar, I know exactly what you are thinking. Cathy is an important asset, who was trained in our main military base. When she and her team arrive, don't jump on them like hungry wolves," he joked.

Edgar shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Sir, my boys would never do that." He grinned and said, "At most, I will arrange a party for her team and my young wolves. The project will be successfully completed, and some of my boys might end up establishing a decent relationship. We'll just be killing two birds with one stone."

"Well, you can discuss that in detail with Cathy later. While worrying about the relationship statuses of your young wolves', you might want to take some time to think about yours too," he said in a stern voice.

"Yes Sir!" Edgar said earnestly, "I will try my best to complete all the missions assigned by you."

"Save it, boy! I know you all too well. You're always fooling around." The officer heaved a sigh and said, "It's estimated that Cathy and her team will arrive at your base by noon. You should make the necessary arrangements soon."

"Yes, Sir!" Edgar said obediently. He waited till his senior officer hung up, before cutting the line from his side.

When the trio finally arrived at Sun Island, Molly was delighted by the white beaches, the blue sea, and the bliss of the summer. The summer breeze and the sea air were rather comfortable and relaxing.

Molly was lying leisurely on her back on the beach in a long white Bohemian dress with large blue flowers on it. She was bare-footed, and her hair grazed her shoulders, as they swayed in the light wind. Then she closed her eyes gently and took a large gulp of the soothing air. "Isn't it beautiful here?" came a charming voice from behind her.

Molly opened her eyes and saw Lenny. She asked with a smile, "Eric's business is done?"

"The Young Master and Mr. Brian Long went to the government office to handle some business. I stayed behind," said Lenny, squinting at Molly. She then pointed to the sea, "It is about fifty nautical miles away from the shore, where the crystal project is located." "Oh, I see," Molly said, frowning. She clearly felt Lenny's repulsiveness towards her. It would have been safe to say that she hated her with a passion.

"There were issues with the crystal project during the ruling period of the two previous rulers, which almost crashed the Dragon Empire Group's stock market and they ended up having a bad relationship with the government of the Sun Island," Lenny said gloomily. Withdrawing her gaze from the sea, she looked at Molly and continued, "And all of those troubles were the result of love."

Molly sat upright as she heard those words. She had heard about it before. Although she had not been born at the time, it was a massive incident, and even after all these years, people talked about it from time to time. Two years ago, when the project was put forward again, the incident was naturally dug out.

"Miss Xia," Lenny's apricot eyes implicitly expressed her dissatisfaction, "love is a beautiful yearning, but do not harm others for your own comfort."

"I... I don't know what you're talking about," Molly said hesitantly, and the hostility on Lenny's face was obvious now.

"I don't know why my Young Master has brought you here," Lenny said coldly, "But I hope you understand what your decision will lead to. Think carefully before you act."

Molly was even more confused now. She had only come to Sun Island because she was curious about the love stories of the previous generation. She wondered if, after hearing those stories, she would know more clearly about what she had been longing for. But Molly did not understand why Lenny thought that she would harm Eric.

"Lenny, you... You love Eric, don't you?" Molly asked carefully.

"No!!" Lenny rejected her without a second thought. "I'm the Young Master's shadow. Naturally, I don't want you to do anything to hurt him."

Seeing her hasty reaction, Molly smiled softly at her. The sun shone on one side of Molly's beautiful face and for a moment, Lenny forgot to hate her after seeing her soft smile.

"Don't worry," Molly said, still wearing the soft smile on her pink lips, "Brian is the only man I will ever love."

Lenny looked at her honest eyes, but was still doubtful. They hadn't realized that Eric had heard every word they had said as he silently stood a little further away from them. The warm sunlight cast his lonely shadow on the beach.
