Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 264 The Hidden Loneliness (Part One)

A cold voice was heard from the door.

It was Eric.

He was leaning against the door casually with his arms crossed in front of his chest and an evil smile was resting on his lips. A dangerous feeling was sensed from his face.

He was looking coldly with a sneer at the man who caught Molly.

Eric!

A feeling of surprise flashed through Molly's mind. She felt a bit bitter when she thought of what Eric had said to her before that he would always appear whenever she was in need.

Recalling all of this, Molly felt a lump in her throat all of a sudden. She compressed her lips and looked at Eric who had an aura of dangerous air around him. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Who are you?" The man who caught Molly asked in a low voice.

Eric raised the corners of his mouth a bit and a weird atmosphere surrounded his figure. "Who am I? Well, it has nothing to do with you," he replied lazily. "However, there will be consequences should you force her to do something!"

The other two men exchanged looks with each other and then one of them said coldly," We are just inviting Miss Xia on behalf of our boss."

"Oh?" Eric interrupted and walked slowly towards them. He continued," The way that you have invited her is really quite unique."

One of the men looked at Eric alertly and was about to say something. But before the man was even able to voice out his words, Eric spoke," But whether you are inviting her or kidnapping her, she seems to be unwilling to go with you, right?"

Eric shifted his eyes at Molly and Molly nodded immediately in response. Eric shrugged his shoulders, flung up his hands and said in a seemingly helpless tone," I can see now that she is surely unwilling to go with you. Why don't you just be nice and let go of her?"

"Hmmm!" The man snorted coldly and rejected Eric's proposition and then replied," I'm afraid we can't do that."

"Oh…" Eric responded in a deliberate tone and stretched the syllable. Then he added," Well, in that case, there's nothing else left for me to do but this."

Just then, Eric swept the leg and kicked the man in front of him before that guy could even realize what happened. The man was caught by surprise and fought back in a hurry. Meanwhile, the man who caught Molly dragged her to walk a few steps backwards.

Eric was single-handedly attacking them calmly and coldly with his sharp and dangerous moves. Molly stared at Eric with eyes full of concern and emotion. Her mouth was pursed tightly because of anxiousness and worry. She had no clue whether Eric was good at fighting or not. The two men both looked quite strong with well-developed muscles which made them seem good at fighting. But with Eric, Molly was not sure if he could win the fight.

"Are you worried about me, Little Molly?" Just when Molly's heart was beating so fast as if it was going to break her chest any moment due to the fierce fighting in front of her eyes, Eric kicked the man who was fighting him all of a sudden and then managed to turn his head around to ask her with a naughty smile.

Molly opened her mouth slightly and looked at Eric in surprise. She was somewhat in disbelief when she saw that the man was heavily beaten by Eric. With blood coming out of his mouth, the man stepped backwards as if retreating.

Eric shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes a bit as if he was innocent. He seemed to be a little bit upset due to Molly's distrust. Suddenly, Molly opened her eyes wide when they looked right into each other's eyes. Eric seemed to have already known what was happening behind. He raised the corners of his mouth in an instant and a bloodthirsty cold smile spread on his face. He turned his palm and a small handgun appeared in his hand with the muzzle pointing at the man who attacked him secretly from behind.

"Go back and tell your boss that I like this girl. If he has a problem about it, he can come and visit me anytime!" Eric said and looked at the man who caught Molly with the handgun still pointing to the man's head. Then he added," Let her go or else, I'd be glad to do you a favor to keep you here forever!"

The two men did not expect that Eric was so good at fighting though he looked to be quite young. They exchanged their eyes and agreed on something. The man who caught Molly finally let her go and then the two started to walk away.

"Oh, one more thing." Eric suddenly thought of something and turned around slowly. He looked at the two men who stopped and was waiting for his words and said," Tell your boss that I am going to have dinner with Steven and his family tonight. He can come and join us if he likes."

The two men looked at each other again and then left silently.

Eric shook his head and then turned around to check Molly. He asked anxiously in a hurry," Did you get hurt?"

Molly closed her lips and shook her head, indicating that she was alright. She took a look outside and asked Eric with questions in her eyes.

Eric rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly. He replied as if he did not give a crap," Oh, well. I just thought you might be free at this time and wanted to ask you out to have a walk on the South Street Alley. I called you but your phone was turned off. So I came here!" Eric shrugged his shoulders as he explained to her.

Molly looked at Eric carefully, expecting to find some traces showing that he was lying. However, she failed since he was talking really seriously.

"And fortunately, I came here!" Eric felt proud suddenly. He raised his eyebrows and continued," Otherwise, you would be taken away by now."

Molly looked at him and sighed slightly. She took the pen and paper and wrote," Rory Yan?"

Eric took a glimpse at the name and then looked back at Molly. He thought for a second and replied," It's him probably."

Molly laughed at herself at Eric's reply. If Rory was really her biological father, how could he have done this to his daughter? A father would never send his men to force his daughter to do something.

"Will my parents and Daniel be in danger?"

"I don't think they will!" Eric quickly responded though he wasn't so sure of it. It should've been Justin instead of Rory who did all these things. But Justin was not a fool and he would not be so bold to hurt them when there was still a chance to fix things up.

Molly nodded. She trusted his words somehow.

Even she, herself, did not know why.

"Mr. Brian Long," Tony walked in from outside and greeted Brain. "Steve met Justin with Sharon, and Rory has already arrived at the airport," he reported.

Brian was busy with his work so he asked while his eyes were still focused on his work," Is there any news with Edgar?"

"Nothing for now," Tony replied and then looked at Brian. He opened his mouth and tried to say something. But he said nothing eventually.

"Do you have any other things to say?" Brian glanced at Tony. He could easily tell it when Tony was hiding something from him.

"Justin sent some men to take Miss Xia away but Mr. Eric Long stopped them."
