Chapter 283 Part Mood Swings (Part Three)

Tears brimmed Becky's eyes when she heard Brian's confirmation. She smiled up at him happily,"I know you still love me."

Groping for Brian's hands, she continued,"I'll never be wayward again, Brian. I thought a lot while we were apart. We love each other. Why should we let these things stand in our way?"

"You're right. Nothing can stop us," Brian said, his usually determined voice somehow lacking conviction.

Looking down at Becky's hands, he felt her hand tremble with emotion. As he gently stroked the delicate white skin with the tip of his fingers, he realized that it felt soft as a baby's skin.

Molly's hands were different. She had rough and calloused hands that were accustomed to hard work. She didn't have pampered hands like Becky since she was constantly working before she met him.

Now, holding Becky's soft but cold hands, Brian felt it wasn't as real as the touch of Molly's rough yet warm hands. He shook off the thought violently.

While he was buried in thought, the waiter quietly served their appetizers and poured their drinks. Brian picked up the knife and fork and started cutting the meat into small pieces for Becky. His phone rang as he placed the plate before Becky. He pressed the answer key as soon as he saw the identity of his caller.

Hearing her words, Brian felt guilty. Looking at Becky's gazeless eyes, he said slowly,"I've already made inquiries for the right retinas. Even if there is really just a slim chance, I won't give up. I promise you'll see the light again."

Becky nodded, feeling happy. At this moment, all that was important was that she had Brian beside her. It gave her a nice, warm feeling inside.

"Eat your food."

Brian touched Becky's hand which was holding the fork. Picking up his glass, he was about to take another sip of wine when a silhouette at the door caught his attention.

His eyes turned icy as he caught sight of Molly, dressed in a flattering beige dress that he'd never seen before. Her hair was loosely caught at her nape in a bun, showing off her graceful neck. Looking down, his dark eyebrows met when he saw that the leather boots she was wearing was at least four inches high. And she was holding on to Eric's arm as if her life depended on it.
