Chapter 499 Mark Belongs To Me (Part Two) (1/2)

Lisa gazed into Mark. To her eyes, he was absolutely adorable. Whenever she saw him, she thought back to that winter when Brian and Molly were still together. She'd never seen Brian like that. At that time, even though Brian never showed it in his face, she could tell how happy he was with Molly by his side.

She could not help but sigh as she recalled this. Her mind was still racing as she left the garden. Mark had already been here for several days and he was adjusting quite well, polite and friendly to everyone. Except for one thing: he acted entirely different around Brian. It was like they were enemies. It was like living proof of the old proverb: ”A father's worst enemy is his own son.”

”Mom,” Lucy said as she looked at Brian, ”Are you sure that he's Brian and Molly's son?”

Lucy was abroad when all of this happened so she was excited to come back when she heard the news. She was so surprised that she couldn't get out a single word. As the years passed, so many things had changed and that included her love towards Brian.

”Yes, Mr. Brian said so himself that Mark is his son.” Lisa responded as she walked back towards the kitchen to prepare for dinner. Since Mark had started living here, Brian always came back to have dinner with him no matter how busy he was.

Lucy was still standing, mouth agape, still shocked at Lisa's words. She fixed her gaze at Mark who was staring intently at the piece of cake that Lisa had just brought him. The cake was still untouched. A gleam seemed to shine from her eyes.

The night breeze this summer was cool and pleasant.

Molly stood at the entrance of the Grand Night Casino where she had been waiting for Brian. She waited for days on end only to be disappointed by the end of each day. She knew that Brian was deliberately avoiding her but she didn't have any other options. She missed Mark so much she was about to go crazy. She wasn't even allowed to look at Brian from a distance.

During the day, she waited for him at the Emp Stock Exchange. When night came, she would transfer to the Grand Night Casino. Even if she knew that Brian was purposely avoiding her, she didn't have any other options but to talk to him this way. She knew very well that Mark was just in the villa but she just couldn't get in. And she feared that Brian wouldn't let her visit Mark even on her court-regulated visitation days.

People stared at her as she stood there for hours on end - in fact, some were already used to seeing

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
