Will our Mighty Soldier King be defeated? Or will he sweep away all obstacles?
. She was well aware of the thoughts that prevailed in her daughter's mind. Though Lisa didn't try to stop Lucy's intention, she didn't agree with it either.
According to Lisa, their whole family owed Mr. Long a lot and were obligated to serve him well. But she hoped that Lucy wouldn't be involved with him and would marry a common man, and live a common, happy life.
Of course, that was only John's and her wish. Since Lucy had grown up and had her own ideas, there were things which even they, as her parents, would be unable to stop from happening. They couldn't control their daughter's life.
”Mr. Long loves Miss Yan a lot. This woman can't compete with her!” Lucy snorted and slammed the glass of milk in her hand on the table, spilling some out in the process.
Lisa glared angrily at her. ”Lucy! Remember your place and mind your own business! Don't poke your nose into what Mr. Long does or does not do!”
Lucy seemed like she would retort but her mother's darkened face stopped her and reluctantly, she cursed Molly in her mind only instead of saying anything more.
After she had washed her face, Molly came downstairs and Lisa brought her breakfast: a glass of orange juice, a sandwich, and a poached egg. A simple one, but her favorite!

She was frightened instantly and the sandwich dropped from her hand to the plate. She abruptly leapt up from her chair, knocking it down in the process.
Her reaction made Brian frown. He put on a poker face, but deep down, there was displeasure in his eyes. Walking towards Molly, he picked up the chair himself and pressed Molly's shoulders slightly to make her sit down. ”Why are you so careless?”
He rebuked her frivolously. There was tenderness in his voice that confused Molly even more. It sounded almost as if this wasn't the cruel man from the night before!
The mint fragrance from his body froze her completely and she didn't respond.
Brian sat down next to her and, taking out a wet tissue, casually grabbed her hand and began wiping off the crumbs from her fingers. Making a helpless face, he gently scolded her,” What a slob you are!”
She didn't move and merely let him wipe her fingers, as she fluttered her eyelashes and perplexedly blurted out,” Who are you?
”
