Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 223 Mist- Under Whose Control (Part One)

Molly woke up very early, and she had not slept well all night.

She tossed and turned over and over again. The few times she fell asleep, she'd wake up because of uneasiness or nightmares before long.

At midnight she came out and found that the light in the study was still on. She knew that sometimes Brian was very busy. He even could be so busy that he went to bed very late for several consecutive days. However, he rarely stayed up for the whole night.

When she got up at dawn, she boiled milk and toasted bread in the kitchen. She waited for Brian for quite a while, but he did not come out. Finally, she went upstairs with a glass of milk. She was about to knock at the door of the study when the door opened from the inside.

Although Brian had stayed up for the whole night too, he did not look tired at all. His face was still cold and indifferent as he always was. He took a glance at the milk in Molly's hand and contemplated for a while before he asked,"Why did you get up so early?"

With no word, Molly simply delivered the glass of milk in her hand and gave him a hint with her eyes. Brian understood tacitly and took the glass.

Taking out her mobile phone, she typed something, then put the phone in Brian's face. "I could not fall asleep. And I saw that you probably stayed up the whole night too, so I went downstairs to make breakfast!"

Slightly, Brian glanced at her phone and read. "What was wrong with you?" he asked with a slight frown,"You couldn't sleep well the whole night?"

In response Molly nodded. But then she corrected herself, smiled slightly and shook her head instead, meaning it was OK with her. She pointed downstairs with her finger.

"Let me wash my face and brush my teeth first. Once I've freshened up we can have breakfast together!" Taking cue from what Molly meant, Brian replied.
