Chapter 800 Molly And Eric Are Engaged! (Part Two) (1/2)

”To be honest,” Eric paused and then turned his gaze away from Molly. He took a deep breath before looking at her again, ” Mol… I do want you to give up. It is only after you give up on him that I would be free enough to pursue you.” After another moment of pause, he continued, ”Moreover, it seemed like you don't really have any other choice but to give up now based on the situation.”

Molly frowned and confusedly looked at Eric. ”Why? What situation are you talking about?”

”The whole world already knew about our engagement now.” Eric said helplessly.

Molly's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe what she just heard. She was just trying to know Brian's real thought back then.

”Mol,” Eric was no longer the naughty and wicked big boy that he used to be. His whole face was now serious while continued his words, ”if we don't get engaged, I'll be the laughingstock of the political circle around the world.”

”Eric, I'm so sorry, I…” Molly said apologetically as she didn't know what more to say. She had forgotten that Eric was the ruler of Dragon Island. How could she answer the reporter's question so casually? She felt terribly guilty for the trouble she had brought Eric.

”Honestly, I don't really care about being a laughingstock. I don't even care about the pressure that Congress will bring if ever,” Eric said seriously. ”However, I'd like to know if you'll keep dealing with my cousin that way.”

Molly suddenly froze and stared at Eric's deep blue eyes. Slowly, she realized how she wasn't so firm about her feelings toward Brian much longer.

Little did Eric know about how many times she had asked herself this very same question.

'Should I give up Brian and get engaged to Eric?' she kept asking herself silently.

”Miss Xia, this is the item list for the engagement ceremony. Kindly have a look and review it.” said Coco respectfully and anxiously as she passed the list to her. She was the minister of Dragon Island's Etiquette Department. Hearing the news this morning made her extremely worried.
