Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 261 Limited Liberty (Part One)

In this moment, he didn't think about why he did it. It was an instinctive reaction to run outside.

Lisa was about to open the door when it was opened from the inside. Brian passed Lisa like a cyclone and ran towards the gate with long strides.

Molly strolled down the mountain with a half-light and half-heavy heart. She hadn't looked back since she exited the villa, because she was afraid that if she did look back, she would lose the will to leave. She did not want that to happen. Even if she came here in shame, she wanted to go with pride.

Thinking of that, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Molly's mouth. Although her heart held so much bitterness, which was shown in her smile, she forced herself to smile. She had to be strong and go ahead firmly, or else she'd lose everything.

"Molly!"

Molly paused for a second without turning around. She just stood there, while the smile at the corner of her mouth changed into one of self-mockery. She thought, 'What's wrong with me? Am I hearing things?' She heard Brian's voice, but she thought she got auditory hallucination, 'Are you sure about this, Molly? Why do you humiliate yourself like this?'

Molly took a deep breath while her eyelids were quivering to hide her eyes. She was close to tears. She took a step to keep on walking forward...

Staring at Molly's back, Brian frowned inwardly. His face was as frosty as it could be, betraying no emotion. He was quite unhappy that Molly wouldn't stop, even though he called out to her. So he yelled again,"stop!"

Brian's voice sounded especially clear in the quiet morning. The air was thick with heavy fog, but it did nothing to hinder his voice. Molly turned round to look at Brian. He was clad in his pajamas, but heBelongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

looked indistinct in the haze, and that looked to her like it must be an illusion. So she thought she was hallucinating too! Molly blinked blankly and fixed her gaze on the figure walking towards her. He got nearer and nearer, and finally he was standing in front of her.

Seeing that Molly was a bit unsure, Brian had a glimmer of a smile flashing in his deep eyes. He abruptly raised his hand, holding the letter she wrote to him. "So you leave me a letter, and run off," he said coldly,"just because I agreed to let you go?"

Molly looked at the letter and dropped her eyes. She felt guilty. He made her feel guilty, even though she wanted to leave and he agreed to it.

Brian was pissed to see her like this. He wasn't in the best of moods to begin with, and now he felt even more depressed. He continued,"Since you said that you'd leave behind everything I gave you, why don't you leave everything?"

Hearing that, Molly lowered her head, like a child being scolded by an adult. Why did she feel so guilty?

"Answer me!" Brian was now really angry. Why didn't Molly let herself cry? This really burned him up, and he really lost it. He was usually proud of his cool, calm demeanor, but this woman reduced him to a raging animal.

Molly simply looked at Brian at first, like she wasn't going to answer or do anything else. Then she finally took the cell phone out of her backpack and handed it to Brian. Her eyes betrayed her. She didn't want to do this, even as she did it.

Brian watched her do this, and his eyes filled with a terrible fury. His gaze was as monstrous as a fire dragon that would never be satisfied until she was burnt to a cinder. He gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice,"Molly Xia!"

This shocked Molly, who backed up a step in fear. She looked at Brian through timid eyes, and saw his eyes full of rage. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she was going to say something.

Brian narrowed his black falcon-like eyes, while staring at her. If looks could kill, she'd be dead right now. He really wanted to tear her to pieces. Didn't she take him seriously at this point? His ferocity was a terrible thing to behold.

Molly was trying to face him bravely. She bit her lip and pocketed the cellphone. Then she took a pen and a notepad out of her backpack and wrote some words for Brian to read,"I meant to leave the phone behind too, but there was a photo of the snowmen you and I made together on it. I didn't want to lose that pic."

As soon as he read that, Brian's fury dissipated. Remembering the same photo on his cellphone and how he had felt then, he felt some of that warmth again. It was hard to stay mad at her as long as that feeling remained in his heart.

Molly furiously tapped away, typing some more words for Brian to read,"Did you forget? I can't speak, so I can't answer you!"

All at once, the flame of his fury was rekindled. Brian read the words on the notepad, squinting. Then he looked at Molly, gritted his teeth and said,"Molly, listen up! You'll be able to speak again. Probably soon!"

Molly smiled as she heard that. She had a look at the handsome yet gloomy face of Brian and then tore her eyes away to write,"Yeah, I believe you!"

Brian was not a happy camper at this point. His face darkened in anger, because he felt she was just saying that, that she didn't believe him at all. He wanted to be taken seriously, and it sounded to him like she was only saying that to make him feel better. Well, it didn't work. He prided himself on his word,

and she was spitting on his honor just now, as if she would never want to see him again, and even if they would meet, she wanted them to treat each other like strangers.

"Molly, I've said it before and I'll say it again," Brian looked at her with his dark black eyes and said coldly,"You won't become dumb. I'll do everything I can to stop it." Every word was squeezed out between his teeth, one at a time.

Molly was sad to see Brian behaving like this. She thought, 'What if I really lose the ability to speak for the rest of my life? Brian, don't you know that... even if I'm doomed to lose my voice permanently, I still don't want anything to do with you?'
