Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 42 Who Was The Right Woman For Him

"Do you know anyone named Edgar?"

"Hmm?"

Harrow was surprised by Brian's strange question. Slightly furrowing his eyebrows, Harrow stared at Brian and said,"Well... I haven't heard of the name."

None of his friends was called by that name, so he felt quite confused why Brian had asked that question. 'Who is Edgar?' Harrow thought to himself.

Brian frowned and took a glance at Becky's smiling face. When he looked at Becky's photo just now, Molly's face suddenly flashed through his mind. He wondered why he had thought of Molly all of a sudden, and how he could have mistaken Molly for Becky.

At the thought of this, Brian got confused, but he quickly managed to look calm and composed. He then said flatly,"Aaron is going to take action on QY Island and members of the Chancellor Group will certainly look for him. This time, I have sold Aaron the latest news, so he owes me a favour."

Harrow pursed his mouth and shrugged, not caring about this matter. Then he asked,"Will you take any action in A City this time?"

"I have to deal with something at Emp. And it is not the right time for me to do other things in A City." After uttering these words, Brian immediately continued,"Wing has invited Spark to her upcoming concert. You and Spark haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

Harrow was so surprised to hear Brian's words. He looked at Brian with excitement glimmering in his eyes. However, in just a minute, his excitement turned into a forced smile and he sulkily said,"I won't see him. He will be unhappy to see me!"

"What's wrong?" Brian asked. Meanwhile, Harrow took out a cigarette and lit it up. Brian continued asking in a serious tone,"Do you want to maintain such a bad relationship with him permanently?"

"If he understands me, then I don't have to explain anything to him. But since he doesn't understand me, I can't do anything about it." There was a touch of sadness gleaming in Harrow's eyes. Although he pretended to be nonchalant about it, the expression in his eyes showed otherwise. He was actually depressed about it.

Harrow puffed on his cigarette and blew out a stream of smoke. Brian lightly narrowed his eyes and looked towards Harrow through the smoke. Without saying anything else to persuade him, Brian took the chance and changed the topic.

The two continued to chat pleasantly. However, their talk also included some things in which they had arranged a number of people to be killed as planned. Harrow's eyes lit up after hearing Brian's orders. He found that working for Brian was the best decision that he had made in his life.

They talked together until noon. Harrow didn't stay in the villa for lunch because he had to deal with something else. Tony accompanied him to the door to see him out.

Outside, the snow had stopped falling, but the weather was still grey and gloomy.

When Harrow was about to get in the car, he turned his head around and glanced at the villa. He recalled that as they were going out of the study, Brian made his way to a room at the corner alone. After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Tony and asked,"Is there a woman in the villa? "

Although he asked Tony about it, Harrow was certain that a woman was inside the house. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"We haven't seen each other for only a short period of time, but it seems that you've gotten interested in gossip!" Tony answered calmly while making fun of him.

Harrow flashed him a wry smile and then closed the car's door which had been opened earlier. Folding his arms across his chest, he leaned against the car casually and said,"She can't be Becky. So, now he is interested in another woman aside from Becky. Of course, I'm curious about it."

Upon hearing him, Tony slightly frowned and said,"She has those attractive eyes like Becky's which remind Brian of her!"

"Looks like Becky?" Harrow exclaimed in a low voice, seemingly very surprised. Then he shook his head and said,"Brian is a wise man. Do you think he would just find another woman who looks like Becky? I don't think so!"

After he had finished speaking, he stood up straight and opened the car door with a mischievous grin. Before getting inside, he said,"In fact, I don't think Becky and Brian are right for each other." After that, he sat in the car and drove away from the villa. The powdery snow flew as the car moved its way on the road.

While watching Harrow's car disappear in the distance, Tony repeated what Harrow had said just now. Somehow, he thought that Harrow's words made sense.

But it was Brian's private affair about love and it was better to leave no comment on it.

Brian had been loving Becky for such a long time. "If you do love her, you should love her deeply." This was what Brian's mother had always said to him before.

While thinking about this, Tony turned around and looked up to the window on the second floor. He sighed and guessed that Brian might take advantage of Molly to attract Becky's attention and provoke her to come back. After all, Becky could find out everything about Brian easily because he had never hidden anything from her.

But... Tony had a feeling that some things might go out of control.

Thinking about it, Tony snickered at himself and believed that Brian was a remarkable man who would be able to take control of everything.

In the Netherlands, A flock of sheep bleated on a certain farm. Among the flock, a lady wearing light purple clothes, was busy milking sheep. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and though she wore a bright smile on her face, a touch of depression could be seen in her eyes.

"Becky, you should take a rest. Your eyes can't stand such bright light," said another lady worriedly. She was dressed in the clothes which was as white as the sheep, so it was hard to spot her as she blended among them.

At a closer look, Becky had even more sadness in her eyes. She stopped and her smile slowly froze across her face. After a little while, she gently twisted her mouth and said,"Cindy, Brian must hate me so much this time!"

After Cindy Han had heard her, she rolled her eyes and thought that Becky was so silly. Then she said,"You deserve it! Tell me! Why did you insist on leaving him? If a handsome, fine man treated me half as well as Brian treated you, I would do everything to be with him!"

Without saying a word to Cindy's lecture, Becky just forced a smile. She looked at the milk in the little milk pail and tears suddenly blurred her eyes.

Some time ago, on one rainy morning, it had finally dawned on her that Brian was more important to her than Eric. She got so excited and was about to look for Brian to tell him how much he meant to her when suddenly the world turned pitch black and she was unable to see anything at that moment.

"Miss Yan, you have a bacterial infection in your retinas..."

Becky still remembered the diagnosis that she learned from the doctor that day. But she was so shocked that her mind went in a daze and she was not able to focus on the details as explained by the doctor. She was only able to capture what the doctor said at the end,"At present, according to the current medical technology, there is no effective treatment for such an illness yet. The only way to cure the condition is to find the suitable corneas for a transplant operation and undergo the retina repair surgery. However, the proven success rate is only at fifty percent."

Becky tightly closed her lips while she thought about that day. Tears helplessly came running out of her eyes into the pail of milk.
