Chapter 276 Bury Her Sadness In Her Heart (Part One)

The night winds blew gently. She didn't care if he was happy or not.

The tears she shed flowed like water.

She buried her sadness in her heart, and denied her own feelings.

Molly cried for a while. And sobs racked her body. That was when she realized that she and Eric were too close.

Angrily, she pushed him away. She turned to glare at him with tears in her eyes.

Eric was a little miffed, but he shrugged and put on a smile. "Done crying?" He pretended not to care so that she wouldn't be able to figure what he was really thinking.

Molly glared at him again.

"Wow. Ice queen over here!" Eric grumbled. Then he raised his eyebrows and asked,"Are you hungry?" Before Molly could answer, he added,"How does the South Street Alley sound?"

Molly looked at Eric suspiciously, a little surprised at his suggestion.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Eric sulked,"I'm bored of fancy restaurants and it's time for a change. Besides, the food there is quite good and delicious."

Molly breathed deeply to compose herself. After wiping tears from her face, she typed a string of words. "I'm exhausted and hungry and tired of crying."

Picking up the phone, Eric glanced at the screen and smiled. "I don't know what to do with you sometimes."

Molly blew her nose and typed on her phone again. "When I'm happy, I laugh. I cry when I'm sad. That's normal. No need to hide who I am. Unlike you, I can't smile when I'm not happy. You're such a hypocrite."

Eric smiled resignedly and thought, 'She would be so cute if she could actually say that out loud.' When he thought about this, he didn't feel upset anymore, but happy.

"Yeah. You may be right." Eric shook his head and drove to the South Street Alley. He talked all the way through, and Molly was listening to him, giving him some expressions every now and then.

Knowing that Molly couldn't speak, Eric was upset, but he kept this hidden behind an even expression. He wondered if Molly's throat would ever be healed. He felt extremely sad at the thought that she might never utter another sound again.

Soon they were at their destination. Eric parked his limited-edition Jaguar XK R on the side of the road, attracting everyone's attention. People started

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

she had left Brian. Even one day without him was exhausting. This kind of fatigue was not physical, but mental.

There was a big man making trouble at the casino, but she didn't feel sad, even when he mocked her for not being able to speak. But when Brian called her... That was when her heart broke.

Didn't he want her to leave? Why did he ask she to stay at the Grand Night Casino? And why did he call her, since he was holed up with Becky?

Molly thought self-deprecatingly. She leaned back on the sofa and looked helplessly at the faint light on the roof. She still thought of Brian. 'Bri, I miss you. I don't know why, but I miss having you by my side. It feels so strange.'

On the 17th floor of the Imperial Garden Mansions.

"Mr. Vice President, Howard just sent us an Activities Report." Jona, an assistant, respectfully handed Justin the documents sent by the fax machine.

Justin took the documents, glanced through them quickly, and then slowly asked,"Did Howard meet with him?"

"Yes!" "They got together last night." Jona said. "By the way, Miss Becky will be back in the city this evening."

"Becky's back?" After hearing that, Justin frowned. "Does she know Rory took off?

"Probably not." "She will come back alone," Jona whispered. "Mr. Rory Yan doesn't know she will back."

"It seems this girl really cares about Mr. Brian Long." Justin sneered, and then said,"Let Howard be careful. Mr. Brian Long is a hard nut to crack."

"Yes, sir!" Jona answered.
