Chapter 547 The Lonely, Sweet Night

When one is in love, they become blind. They keep giving more of themselves and falling deeper than ever, even if the other person will never love them back. Love is indeed a bitter drink. The one who drinks more will be scarred more deeply.

And, the one who gives more, loses themselves even more.

In her sleep, Molly felt the air becoming oppressive. She got a little uneasy. Her lips became itchy, as if someone or something was touching them, making her afraid.

Anxious, this made her drowsiness gone. As she opened her eyes, she saw a faint shadow of a man beside her. Her eyes became wide-opened when Brian's sharp eyes came into view, staring at her. She didn't know how long he had been in the room. But alas, she finally knew what that touch on her lips was. It was Brian. He had been kissing her lovingly while she was asleep. Her cheeks started to feel hot as she thought about this. Brian, on the other hand, continued staring at her, like she was some precious gem he didn't want to lose. She tried to avert her eyes, but didn't know where to look. Her eyes wandered as she tried to calm her racing heart. But her head went blank from embarrassment that she even forgot to push him away.

While staring at her beautiful face, Brian didn't expect her to wake up. Her breathing was so calm when she was asleep. Otherwise, he would've thought she'd been pretending.

Noticing her embarrassment, for a moment, he thought of leaving the room to spare her from the awkwardness. But, the crimson on her cheeks worked like a spell on him. His lips that were pressed lightly against hers suddenly pressed harder, wanting her even more.

Breathing heavily, he closed his eyes and pressed his forehead slightly against her. It was like he was trying to gather his courage to say something. Suddenly, he swallowed hard and said in a deep voice, "Molly Xia, you are such a nuisance."

Hearing this, Molly was gasping. Her mind was a mess. His husky voice was like a drug, keeping her from thinking straight.

Suddenly, his coarse fingers stroked her smooth neck. The movement was gentle as a feather's touch, but it was enough to arouse her.

Slowly, Molly came to her senses. Then the same question as the one she had had in mind before falling asleep filled her thoughts once again. As she continued to ponder, the scent on his body started to linger on her nose, making her twitch. "Bri," she blurted out quietly. His body froze at the soft calling. "What you said this afternoon, did you mean it?" she asked.

"Hmm?" he replied, with a faint smile curling up at the side of his mouth. While looking at her, his fingers slid to her earlobes and then rubbed them. With her question in mind, his breathing got heavier.

From the silence, Molly chewed her lip. No words left her mouth for she didn't know how to express herself in front of him.

Noticing her uneasiness, Brian gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. His nose rubbed against hers and he said in a low voice, "Molly Xia, you silly woman." and then kissed her once again.

After giving her another kiss, he got off the bed and lifted her in his arms, even before she could react.

Surprised, she jolted and said, "What...what are you doing? Put me down, Bri!" She panicked.

Without responding, he

The Mighty Soldier King is back!

Will our Mighty Soldier King be defeated? Or will he sweep away all obstacles?

y slowly. When he noticed the sunshine streaming through the window, he realized it was morning already.

Looking at the empty study on the screen, he sighed, picked up his phone and dialed a number. "What?" an impatient voice said on the phone.

Sitting in the chair, Shane asked flatly, "Worried about your brother, huh?"

"..." Harrow didn't respond immediately. He was in the hospital and Spark was in a coma. His fever kept on coming back and it was starting to drain his energy. Harrow looked at his brother worriedly and said on the phone, "Get to the point."

"You sound so unfriendly," Shane complained.

Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard. Toot-toot-toot. The phone was hung up.

Shane looked at the phone, confused. He dialed back and the other line answered quickly.

"Speak!" Harrow said impatiently. Shane's persistence started to get on his nerves.

"What's going on with Mr. Brian Long and Molly Xia right now?" Shane said in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Harrow frowned. Shane never pried about others' business. He knew that he wouldn't have asked without a reason. So he told him what had happened in the hospital the day before. "Why ask?" Harrow wondered.

"He stood me up the whole night," Shane replied.

"You deserved it!" Harrow said in response.

Upon hearing this, Shane shrugged. He lowered his eyes to look at the card in his hand. The spade 3 had become the spade ace. Then, he said with a mischievous smile, "Mr. Brian Long had been celibate for years. Last night must have been a big night for him." As soon as he finished that remark, he looked up on the screen. At that moment, how much he wished he could take everything back!

Brian was back, sitting in the study and staring at him from the screen. On the other line, Harrow was saying something on the phone, but Shane could hear nothing. His eyes were glued on the screen, staring at Brian who was also staring intensely at him. He then told himself, 'Darn it! I will never ever gossip about Mr. Brian Long ever again. This time, I am in huge trouble!' He didn't know how Brian would react, but one thing was for sure--he already had something up on his sleeve for Shane.
