Love Began with the First Meeting

A gust of cold wind blew over Molly, and she shivered as the wind passed, coming back to her senses.

Startled, Molly drew her hand back from Edgar's big palms as she asked," Do you have anything to tell me?"

Her sudden aloof voice upset Edgar Gu. His eyes went gloomy but was soon concealed, and he said," I just want to check up on you, to see if everything is going well with you."

Molly smiled bitterly and bluntly replied," Mr. Mayor, you should have already noticed how I am doing now. Isn't it clear? So why bother asking?"

"Molly, what did you just call me?" Edgar frowned as he heard Molly call him Mr. Mayor. Coming from Molly, those two words suddenly became unpleasant to hear.

Looking up, Molly saw the anger on Edgar's face. In her thoughts, she mocked herself but remained calm and said," Mr. Mayor, you are the mayor here. Is it wrong for me to call you Mr. Mayor out of respect?"

Edgar stared at Molly intensely. Molly, the girl who used to hide herself behind him when they were little. She was the shy and timid girl who always wanted someone to be her friend but had no courage to talk to anyone. "My status doesn't matter. I'm still and will forever be your Edgar!"
