Chapter 1424
In the quiet of the night, Ocelotte asked himself if he could forgive Molly. Forgive her, rekindle their relationship, and live a life together forever. He couldn’t do it. Even though he now knew of her feelings, it was like picking sugar from poison. Even if he still had some feelings for her, that kind of feeling would fade away with time. Once he had a wife, his time and energy would go into his wife and children, and his obsession with Molly would slowly disappear. But deep down, Ocelotte felt a shift. He was no longer as cold and indifferent as before.…A week later, Molly shot a commercial for Fowlerlotte Tech Co.’s endorsement.Brody was more professional and approachable than she had expected. Perhaps he had listened to her agent’s advice, as when he worked with Molly on set, he kept a respectful distance. Despite this, Ocelotte still felt the interaction was too intimate.There were countless takes, and the director was about to lose his patience. Did the b

Ocelotte turned his head to look at her, his deep black eyes seeming to pierce through her. After a long pause, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "And what about you? Why do you smoke?"Molly whispered, "I won't do it anymore."But Ocelotte didn’t seem to believe her—or maybe he just didn’t care. In this reunion, the only one who had truly cared all along was Molly. Without another word, Ocelotte stepped on the accelerator. Molly thought he would take her to a hotel, but to her surprise, he drove her to a penthouse near the company. The place was spacious, about 2100 square feet, and the decor was luxurious, every detail exuding wealth and elegance. Molly hesitated at the door, unable to step inside. She stood at the door, and her fingers tightened slightly around the strap of her bag as she processed his words. This apartment was specifically prepared for them to meet. A place away from the transient coldness of hotel suites, a space that felt more grounded, more intima

Molly couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud. She didn’t even dare look into Ocelotte’s eyes, resting her face against the crook of his shoulder and murmuring softly, “You know.” Ocelotte tilted his head, trying to kiss her. She dodged a few times but ultimately couldn’t avoid him. Ocelotte, of course, got his way. A man in his prime could be overwhelming, but Molly couldn’t fully let go. On one hand, she felt sorry for him; on the other, she worried something might go wrong. Throughout, her delicate brows were knitted tightly, her expression one of nervous apprehension. Ocelotte looked down at her from above, his gaze filled with an unusual light. This was the gentlest and most considerate encounter since their reunion. Afterward, the two lay quietly in each other’s arms, their bodies damp with sweat. It was only after a long while that Molly spoke softly, “You should get up and rinse off. I’ll go serve the porridge… after what just happened, you still need to

Molly's face was pale. The young lady took the flowers from her hands, sniffed them carefully, then turned around and cheerfully said to Ocelotte, "It's my favorite purple bellflower. How did you know?"The young lady's tone was warm, clearly indicating that she and Ocelotte had known each other for some time. Molly felt extremely embarrassed. She didn't have the courage or the face to stay any longer. If she stayed even one more second, she would suffocate. She hesitantly said, "The flowers are delivered. I'll leave now."The young lady thanked Molly and smiled sweetly.Molly walked away quickly. Molly didn't dare to let her tears fall until she was in the elevator. She knew in her heart that there would be a new mistress here, and she would never step inside again. She also wouldn’t allow herself to ruin someone else’s happiness.The red numbers in the elevator kept counting down.Soon, the elevator reached the first floor, and the doors opened with a "Ding." Molly was about

Brody was probably traveling. Wearing sunglasses, the tall man stood out even in the crowd. They happened to be sitting in the same carriage; carriage number 1. Molly was holding a bag of farm-fresh eggs, a gift from the parents of the students she had helped. Her outfit wasn’t as glamorous as usual, just a simple sweater and white sneakers. Her hair was cut into a shoulder-length bob, giving her a very pure appearance. Brody observed her for a moment before softly asking, “Did you go to the mountains to help the underprivileged students?” Molly nodded. She never interacted much with others in the entertainment industry, and she didn’t want to have any connection with Brody either. So, Molly leaned back in her seat, intending to rest her eyes. However, unexpectedly, Brody was more friendly than usual. He looked at Molly’s black straight hair and asked, “Are you planning to retire from the industry?” Molly didn’t deny it. Her contract with her agency still had six month
Chapter 1429
The atmosphere in the restaurant grew tense. Molly could have denied it—there really wasn’t anything romantic between her and Brody. With that said, Brody was her friend, and his mother had come all this way to meet her. If she denied it now, it would embarrass them and likely cost her Brody’s friendship. She didn’t have much to hold onto in life. Besides, Ocelotte already had a girlfriend. Her denial would be meaningless. In her heart, she had given up on him long ago. It wasn’t letting go, either. It was giving up. Under the stark white lights, Molly’s pale face appeared even more fragile. She lowered her voice and said, “Yes, I’ve started dating. Brody, you should know Mr. Ocelotte.” Ocelotte’s gaze shifted calmly between Brody and Elle. His demeanor was reserved and detached. With his status, he had no obligation to exchange pleasantries, especially not with the man who now stood as Molly’s partner. Finally, Ocelotte gave a faint nod and said indifferently, “Fell for

As Ocelotte brooded over his unhappiness, Gwen pushed a small dish of dessert toward him. "Have something sweet to calm down, Ocelotte. After all, you’ll probably be feeling like this quite often. "That Brody seems pretty good. I watched one of his dramas before—he looks even better in person than on screen." As an older brother, how could Ocelotte stand hearing that? So, his expression darkened. Gwen propped her chin up, watching him. "Alright, alright. If you really can't let her go, just go get her back." Ocelotte picked up his pre-meal drink, taking a sip and savoring the spicy taste on his tongue. After a moment, he spoke in a calm voice. "I'm not holding on. There won’t be a future for me and her." Gwen thought he was just pretending, and people who pretend are bound to cry alone at night. Just like… Just like who? Gwen stared off into space with a faraway look in her eyes.…An hour later, Molly, Brody, and Elle left the restaurant. Despite considering i

The wind rustled through the tree leaves, whispering stories of ages past as if the tree itself carried the weight of time. Brody’s black car came to a halt under the moonlit night. Molly didn't move immediately. She turned her head to look at Brody, then reached over and handed him a delicate, expensive box. Her voice was barely audible as she whispered, “I’m sorry.”Inside the box, nestled like a secret, was a white gem bracelet. It was clear from its craftsmanship that it was an heirloom from Brody’s family, a precious and irreplaceable treasure. Molly knew it was far too valuable for her to accept; she couldn’t and wouldn’t take something so precious.The interior of the car was dim, the only light coming from the faint glow outside. Brody’s eyes, which were dark as the night around them, gazed at her without a word. Brody's hand remained on the steering wheel, but his fingers caressed it gently as if he were touching the heart of someone he loved. He studied her fragile, i
