Chapter 1427
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

Molly saw it. When Ocelotte's car brushed past them, there were tears in the corner of Molly's eyes. But Ocelotte could no longer see them; he only saw her in someone else's arms. It was all over! Ocelotte thought this was fine. Molly had found her place, and whether he got married in the future or not, he wouldn’t be tormented by midnight doubts anymore. He wouldn’t miss someone so deeply, nor would he torture himself with the tangled emotions of love and hate. Brody had also seen Ocelotte. He asked Molly, "Do you want to explain? There's still time." Brody was no saint. He loved Molly, but his feelings for her carried a tinge of heartache. Even if she didn’t end up with him, he still hoped she could find happiness. Molly was different from him; she was a celebrity. Yet sometimes, Brody felt she resembled a pitiful little puppy, unwanted and abandoned. He wanted to take her home. If Ocelotte didn’t want her, then Brody would take her home. However, the little puppy

Molly hesitated for a moment. Dave frowned. He was just about to scold her, but Ocelotte had already hung up his coat. When he turned back, his gaze rested on Molly, deep and unreadable. Dave was quick to pick up on subtleties, and he immediately caught on; Ocelotte was interested. Then, he had a lightbulb moment and realized that they must've been involved before.Seizing the opportunity, Dave seated Molly right next to Ocelotte. He even instructed her specifically to serve him more dishes and drink with him, ensuring he would leave happy. Molly softly protested that she wasn’t good at such things, which only irritated Dave. He snapped, “Just do what you used to do. Is that so hard?” Molly’s face turned a little pale. The last thing she wanted was to use Ocelotte for personal gain, but in a setting like this, she didn’t have the authority to simply walk away. Molly sat beside Ocelotte, mimicking the others’ attentive gestures by serving him food. She spoke very little,

In the elevator, Ocelotte looked up at the red numbers. His voice was calm and distant as he spoke. "Do you often attend these kinds of social events? Constantly serving men drinks and food, even wiping their pants? Doesn’t Brody care about this?"From what Ocelotte knew, Brody had a successful career outside of acting, with his own companies that earned quite well. Since Molly was supposed to be Brody's girlfriend, how could he let her go out like this? How could he let her expose herself to the spotlight and sacrifice her dignity for money?Ocelotte's disdain for Molly was real, but so was their past. He couldn’t forget it. The allure of her being the lady he loved but could never get was indeed powerful.Half a minute later, the elevator stopped on the top floor. Stepping out, they arrived at a suite in an international hotel. Ocelotte swiped the key card and opened the door. Standing at the threshold, he looked at Molly, "Come in. Don’t worry, I don’t have that intention."
