Chapter 153 What Was All This For (Part Three)

Her faint voice was like a sting to his ears and he felt as if his heart was being grabbed tightly by agony. The look in his eyes softened. He observed the streak of tears on her cheek and then looked into her eyes which did nothing to keep her secrets hidden.

Molly would never know what kind of thing had happened and would happen to her merely because of her beautiful eyes.

"So you still have the feeling of being numb, huh?" With knitted eyebrows, Eric stretched out his hands and pulled her against his chest rudely. Then he continued to ask in a low voice,"Can you try not to be in such an awkward position when I meet you the next time?"

"Nope," Molly replied in a dull tone, leaning against his chest. A smile appeared on her face, glad that she was still in the vein for jokes in such a situation, even though the smile contained more grief than happiness.

Her spoiled tone touched Eric's heart and he couldn't help hugging her more tightly. His anger at her for not answering his calls had all vanished at that moment.

They embraced each other quietly for a while. Then Molly broke the silence and asked,"Hey, didn't you say that you wanna go somewhere else? I'm freezing to death now."

Her tantrum left Eric dumbfounded. He slightly pushed Molly away from his chest. Then he met her eyes, shining below her fluttering eyelids, and asked coldly,"Then why were you sitting here? You deserve a freezing death."

In spite of his harsh words, he stood up and took Molly's hands, helping her stand up. When he touched her icy cold hands, he frowned and asked,"Why do your hands always feel as cold as ice?"

company that day, but as far as I know about him, it's very likely that he'll take you there too. So, why not attend as my companion instead?" Eric explained.

Molly didn't know whether she should believe Eric or not. Although he had helped her many times when she was in trouble, he had also laid traps for her with his ulterior motives.

But she eventually replied,"Okay, I'll go with you." Even though it might be another trap for her, she would gladly jump into it without any hesitation.

As Shirley had told her, she shouldn't feel afraid of moving ahead. And the situation might be completely different for her the next time.

Eric smiled. He was excited and he didn't bother to think about why he felt that way. He said,"Go and have a nice bath, and all of your unhappiness will be washed away, okay?"

Molly nodded with a smile. She didn't care about whether Eric's tenderness towards her was real or fake; she only knew that at that moment, she didn't feel lonely anymore.
