Chapter 23 You Donst Have A Choice (2/2)

”I don’t want a divorce!”

”I did no such thing!”

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

.

Molly tightly closed her mouth and gazed at Brian. She got even more nervous and her heart raced as he got close to her. She even forgot to breathe.

The air around her felt thin, and her heart was racing. She backed away instinctively and grabbed the hem of her clothes in an effort to look natural.

Casting a cold glance at Molly, Brian took off his coat, threw it towards Tony and then went upstairs alone. Except for the quick look when he had entered the house, Molly had felt she was nothing more than air to him.

His footsteps drew towards his bedroom. Molly swallowed nervously and heaved a sigh of relief.

Tony also made his way towards the kitchen and asked the caretakers to prepare the food. He then left the villa, without so much as a glance at Molly. He had no idea why Brian was interested in her, and it wasn't his business to know his boss's purpose. Brian always dealt with things in his own way, and nothing could disturb that.

As Tony left the door and the cold wind blew in again, Molly frowned as she had no idea what was going on and felt even more confused.

Suddenly the kitchen door was opened. A middle-aged woman and a girl of about twenty came up and set the table. They had introduced themselves when Molly had arrived.

The woman was John's wife Lisa and the girl was their daughter Lucy. Molly felt Lucy wasn't so pleased with her arrival.

Molly sneered at herself! She thought too much. Why would Lucy be hostile towards her?

Then she heard Brian's footsteps again and looked towards him. He had now changed his clothes and was coming down in white casual clothes. He looked less bossy and, surprisingly, looked easy-going and attractive.

He walked towards the table and, taking no notice of Molly, talked slowly with Lisa and asked Lucy about her graduation project.

Everything seemed in perfect harmony, but Molly felt out of sync there.

”Miss Xia, please come and have dinner!” Lisa invited her kindly with a smile.

Molly slightly closed her lips and glanced at Brian, who picked up a wine glass and gently took a sip, following which, he fixed his eyes on her thoughtfully.

Clenching her teeth, Molly walked towards the table and sat down. She felt very nervous and upset sitting on Brian's side. She didn't look at him and just uttered ”thank you” when Lisa offered her a bowl of soup.

Lucy glared at her with her mouth slightly closed. When she was about to say something, Lisa drew her away. Molly wasn't silly and knew what that meant. It could only mean that Lucy had been displeased on seeing her in the house.

Molly sneered at herself secretly and poked the rice with the chopsticks. She was unhappy but no one cared.

”Quit all your jobs tomorrow!”

Suddenly, Brian's cold voice interrupted Molly's thoughts. Molly raised her head and looked him in the eyes. ”I'm here to repay a debt, not to be your mistress! I won't quit my jobs...”

She obstinately replied, with a determined expression in her eyes. Brian merely raised his eyebrows, and, putting down the glass, slowly replied,” You don't have a choice!”
