Chapter 566 Happy Birthday, Molly (Part Two)
Brian nodded, and the waiter slightly bowed and left.
Molly did not pay much attention to the waiter. She suddenly came to the realization that Brian might have booked the whole restaurant on the top floor. Sometimes, he was so extravagant that she wanted to grab him by the throat. But she could not deny that without the disturbance of others on this floor, the peaceful music together with this man made her quite happy.
When Molly's eyes started to blur a little, the melody of the piano and the violin changed into the birthday song. As the music played, the waiter pushed a trolley towards them, on which was a two- layer ice cream cake with dreamlike candle light. He walked towards them to the rhythm of the music.
Molly was dumbstruck as she blankly listened to the melodious birthday song and looked at the cake which was now very close to her. It was not until the cake had stopped in front of her that she looked at Brian with a blank expression. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Brian said slowly with his deep eyes fixed on hers, "At the spring outing in the last year of her middle school, Molly Xia passed by a wishing tree at the entrance of a village. She wrote down a wish on a wishing card..."
Molly's eyes began to water. It seemed that her eyes were so likely to always be filled with tears as long as she was together with this man.
"She wished that someday someone would accompany her to dinner on her birthday, even if there were only two people. She only hoped that the purpose of the meal would be to celebrate her birthday," Brian said in his magnetic voice. "Mol, today is June 27th. It's your birthday. I have booked this entire floor and we're going to have your birthday dinner here, just the two of us."
Molly's eyes were filled with crystal teardrops, but there was a smile at the corner of her mouth. She sobbed, "Thank you, Brian." She sniffed to swallow the teardrops in her eyes. Nobody had ever wanted
to celebrate her birthday, and it always seemed like nobody even remembered it. When she was staying abroad with Spark, since her documents had been stolen, Spark had made a fake identity for her, and her birthday had been celebrated on the date they had met in London. She had never had her birthday celebrated on her real birthday. But now, this man who had such a complicated significance in her lifer was telling her that he had arranged a dinner for just the two of them for the sole purpose of celebrating her birthday.
After swallowing her tears, Molly said slowly, "As far as I can remember, nobody has ever celebrated my birthday. Rory only remembered Becky's birthday, while my mother never liked me because my birth indicated her humiliation." Raising her head and wiping her tears away, she turned her head and added, "I've always been an unnecessary existence."
"From now on, you have Mark and me in your life," Brian said as he looked deep into her teary eyes. "I selfishly kept your birthday this year between you and me. But your birthday next year, and every year that follows will be celebrated together with me, Mark and our future children."
His words were plain, but meaningful. Brian didn't know that celebrating her birthday had meant more to Molly than he had thought.
As the birthday song was played again and again on the piano and the violin, a bunch of blue roses were brought to the table by another waiter, who then handed it to Brian. The royal blue roses coordinated well with the lake blue dress Molly was wearing, but somehow they looked different. The flowers were fascinating, and she was so pure in his eyes.
He glanced at the roses, then looked at her and said, "Mol, happy birthday." He gently handed the roses to her. It was the first time in his life that he was giving flowers to a woman with his own hands. He had never done this for any woman personally before, not even for Shirley or Wing. In his mind, no woman except for the one who was going to be his life partner could receive flowers from his hands.
Molly took the roses from him slowly, with teardrops in her eyes and a smile at the corner of her lips. No woman could resist such beautiful roses. Besides, Brian had not given her common red roses or fancy champagne roses. Instead, he gave her blue roses, which were as attractive as the succubus. The insolent style matched Brian quite well.
He looked at Molly with his glowing black eyes. The language of blue roses said that every meeting was destined and being together involved a promise—I loved you dearly, more than anything else. And the number 36 indicated that his love belonged to her alone.
She listened to the melodious music and ate her very first birthday cake which melted in her mouth. Molly was so moved. And at that moment, the guard surrounding her heart shattered completely. Not wanting to retreat any longer, she decided to love this man one more time, even if that meant destroying her heart once again. Wholeheartedly, she would accept that fate once again.
Molly put another piece of the cake into her mouth with a smile. Seeing Brian holding a glass of wine elegantly in his hand, she thought, 'So what if he is starting another game now or if he is doing all this just for Mark's sake?' She had had a crush on this man since that fateful winter. In spite of his high status, he had walked in the snow, hand in hand with her, and told her about his thoughts; he had made snowmen together with her; he had protected her twice by risking his own life, even though she had been nothing more than a sex slave. She hated being a third party between Becky and Brian and never wanted to give her retinas to Becky, but both of that could not be compared with what this man had done for her.
Molly felt like she was being enlightened all of a sudden, after being depressed for so many days. With a seemingly casual, but considerate behavior of Brian, she was well fed. This was the only time that her birthday was celebrated. This was also the only birthday that she had been accompanied by another person instead of being lonely, and that person was not a nobody, but the man she wanted to love forever and the father of her child.
After their dinner, they did not directly return to the villa. Instead, Brian took Molly to enjoy the night view at the seaside fence nearby. As the night wind blew across their faces, the roads at the distance were still flourishing with people and cars. QY Island had long been a developed city. The economic development had been stimulated in the recent years by the operation of the Grand Night Casino, while the investments of the Dragon Empire Group had undoubtedly made it better. Time had passed and circumstances had changed. Everything was different from the past.
