Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 254 Is It Wrong To Fall In Love With Someone (Part Two)

Molly was angry, but she nodded and agreed, thinking, 'Well, I'll delete it later.' All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Eric returned the phone to Molly. He was relieved to see that Molly did not delete the photo. He watched Molly typing in front of him on her phone. It was one of the few ways she could communicate.

"Have you finished what you were doing in QY Island?"

"Yeah, I'm almost done. My guys will be here to help me with everything else." Eric, arms behind his head, lay on the floor, enjoying the sunshine.

Molly typed another line of words on her phone and handed it to Eric. "Why is Bri so anxious to call you back? Is it about my family?"

Eric sat up at once. He looked at Molly's calm face, and asked,"You know?"

Molly nodded,"He told me Steven might not be my dad."

Eric looked at Molly's sad face, feeling a little bit sad himself. And then, he said,"Don't sweat it. Everyone's life is different. This is just one more hurdle to get over. And you'll do it, too."

Molly smiled and said,"I'm fine. You don't have to comfort me."

"Really?"

Molly nodded, smiled bitterly, and thought, 'There aren't a whole lot of people who have my life. When I was a kid, I found out my father wasn't my real father. Later, I thought I found my biological father, but he wasn't my real father either. With all this crap, all I can do is try to accept whatever happens.'

Eric looked at Molly and pinched her nose. Seeing her glaring at him, he smiled and said,"You should feel lucky. My brother doesn't usually care about anyone but himself. He even threatened me over

you."

After hearing that, Molly felt sad again. She looked and typed on the phone. "This is the last thing he does for me."

Looking at the words on her phone, Eric frowned, and asked,"What do you mean?"

"I'm taking off."

"What? Where are you going?" Eric asked in surprise.

"He said this is the last thing he does for me before he lets me go."

"Let you go ?"

Molly nodded.

A trace of sadness flashed through Eric's eyes. Why would this happen? He looked at Molly's helpless look, feeling a bit sad. He thought, 'Since when did Little Molly start to rely on Brian? Didn't she always want to leave? Why? Why all of a sudden does she not want to leave Brian ?'

"Why did Brian suddenly let you go?" Eric knew the answer, but he asked deliberately. He wanted to know if she knew.

Molly shook her head slightly. "I don't know. Maybe... he's tired of me. Maybe he thinks I'm too much trouble."

Eric watched Molly getting sadder and sadder. He didn't know why he was angry. He always thought that he was a rational man, and in control of his emotions. Recently, however, his emotions spun out of control more and more often.

"I think I know why." Looking at Molly's curious and confused face, Eric felt even worse. He thought, 'I wish Molly and Brian could be together, so I could be with Becky. Why do I feel sad now? Why don't I want them to stay together?' Thinking of this, Eric slowly said,"She's coming back."

"She? Who's coming back?" Molly frowned.

"The woman in the photo in Brian's study," Eric said slowly. He stared at Molly, not wanting to miss any expression on her face. He felt happy for a moment when he saw Molly go from surprise to sadness and finally full-blown panic. However, at the sight of her helplessness, he frowned again. He didn't know why he felt like this. "Little Molly..."

Molly was afraid to look directly at Eric, so she got up, took another look at Eric, and then went upstairs.

Her mental state was not that good, so when she climbed stairs, she almost tripped herself. Eric sat there watching Molly's back quietly, saying regretfully,"Little Molly..."

Molly didn't answer him, so he got up and tried to catch up with her. Before Molly could recover from tripping, he grabbed her by the wrist. Molly tried to get away from him, which made Eric tighten his grip.

"Are you in love with Brian?" he asked. Eric already knew the answer, just looking at Molly's eyes, but he still asked the question without thinking.

Molly shook her head and didn't want Eric to know what she was thinking. However, when she looked into Eric's probing eyes, she bit her lip in fear.

"You are in love with him." Eric narrowed his eyes and said in an acid tone,"My brother is so charming. Even if he treats you like shit, you still fell for him." Eric was not happy. He knew her brother wasn't good to her, or for her.

Molly went white as a sheet. She looked at Eric in confusion, and wondered why he would say that. She was very sad, wondering why he wanted her to really open up to him.

Molly somehow managed to free herself from Eric's grasp. She glared at him, and pursed her lips, with tears in her eyes.

'Yes, I fell for Brian. I fell in love with the man who hurt me. I can't forget the feeling of being in his arms. I can't forget how I felt safe with him. I can't forget that he comforted me, and stayed with me when I was sad. Why wouldn't I be in love with him?

No one cared for me before. I tried to face my life, but bad things kept happening. It was all too much for me. I thought I could choose the life I wanted when I grew up, but I had no choice at all. I'm really at a loss as to how to confront this. For the sake of my family, I chose to accept everything. I had to give in to Brian's torment. What the hell did I do wrong?'

Molly bit her lip and watched Eric, trying to keep herself from crying. She thought, 'I don't want to be weak anymore. I have the right to choose who I love. I don't mind that Brian doesn't care about me. And no one can question my love for Brian.

Yeah. There's nothing wrong with loving someone. I know. I know. I shouldn't have fallen for him, but I did. How am I supposed to stop myself from loving him? It's not right!'

"Little Molly..." Eric looked at Molly, full of regret. He didn't know why he would say that. If she could talk, she would talk back to him like a little hedgehog. He'd deserve every poke, and every hole made in his flesh. However, she could not speak now and could only look at him sadly, which made him feel even worse.

"That's not what I meant!" Seeing Molly's lip bleeding from her own bite, Eric said anxiously,"Don't bite your lip. It's bleeding."

Molly batted away Eric's hand, took a deep breath, and forced herself to swallow her sadness. She typed on her phone. "You're right. I have no right to say I love him. He doesn't care about me at all. He only cares about himself.

You know what? It doesn't matter. I'll leave when everything is settled. You won't see me anymore."

When Eric saw the word "settled", he couldn't help saying,"Settled? You don't even know the meaning of the word."

Molly pressed her lips and looked at Eric, but she didn't think about what he said. She took a breath and forced herself to calm down. As she was trying to type on her phone, she received a text message.

"Molly, please come home as soon possible."

While Molly was still trying to figure this out, she got another one.

"Come back alone. Don't let anyone follow you."
