Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly stared at Eric in astonishment, having no idea what Eric meant by that. He was no more the dandy young master she had known all along. Molly lost herself in Eric's unusual behavior as if falling into a dream. But what Eric had said still echoed in her ear. It was so real that she realized that this was not a dream. She unintentionally pushed Eric away, forgetting that he was injured too. As a result, Eric lost control of his body and fell back. No sooner had Eric begun to fall than Molly realized what she had done. She got so frantic that she immediately leaned forward to snatch him. Eric took this opportunity and pulled Molly into his arms again.

"I meant what I said, Little Molly," Eric calmed himself down, lowering his voice, "I have this special feeling for you. I'm not joking. Nor am I saying this because Brian pissed me off. I love you, Little Molly."

Molly's senses were numbed and she couldn't think anymore. Eric's confession of his love for her shocked her. His words threw her off. The confession was so unexpected that her brain turned blank. She was so startled that she even forgot all her sorrows of not being able to talk.

Eric sighed as he sensed Molly's shocked embarrassment and her rigid response. In a depressed tone, he said, "I know that you don't believe me. But I will try my best to prove the honesty in every word I said."

To Eric's surprise, Molly's lips curled to flash a mild smile when she heard his words. But it was not a pleasant smile. It was laced with sadness.

Molly didn't want to give his words a second thought. It didn't matter whether Eric was being honest or not. She was tired. It was not wise to seek protection from other people. After all, she had to face all her problems on her own. She had learnt her lesson from all her previous experiences.

Eric felt uneasy by Molly's silence, which was not the result of her physical incapability. To some extent, that was tantamount to her refusal. But he ignored the seemingly plain truth and chose to believe otherwise.
