Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 536 The Divorce (Part Two)

"Should I inform Mrs. Long to look after Mark while you are away?" Tony asked after a moment of silence.

"No," said Brian. He turned around, looked upstairs, and continued, "Shirley will definitely take care of Mark when she learns that we are away. Also, in our absence, she will naturally be more playful with Mark."

Tony raised a corner of his lips, which was very rare. He was quite familiar with Mrs. Long's character. She was always full of energy.

When she heard that her son wouldn't be around for a while, she would definitely try her best to show her deepest love for her grandchild.

At the council building of A City.

Bill, with his usual lollipop in his mouth, hurried to the Mayor's office. After a quick knock, he pushed the door open and let himself in. Edgar was still on the phone. He frowned slightly when he saw Bill enter in without his permission. He then said to the person on the phone, "I have some business to deal with now. We'll talk about this later."

He hung up without waiting for a response from the other side. Looking at Bill, he asked: "What happened?"

"Daniel is gone!"

Edgar furrowed his brows a little more, "What is that supposed to mean?"

Bill was trying to catch his breath since he had hurried up the stairs to give him the news as quickly as possible. He said, "I went to the police station and talked to the police chief to remind him of how important Daniel was to us. But by the time I got downstairs, Daniel was already gone," he paused,

with a serious expression on his face. Then he continued, "The lawyer who had come to bail him out found a scapegoat!"

Edgar thought about what Bill had said, and then he asked, "Was the lawyer hired by Brian?"

Bill shook his head and replied, "I don't think so."

Hearing such answer, Edgar slowly leaned back on his seat and rubbed his chin, while his eyes were cold and cruel. He said, "Put this business about Daniel aside. I need to go out later for some important business. You notify every custom and port authority to keep an eye out for Steven. If he comes back, I want to be the first to know about it."

"Yes," Bill replied. As Edgar was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said hastily, "If Steven comes back by Dragon Empire Group's private plane, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for us to track him." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Edgar paused in front of the door, and he remembered something.The corner of his lips raised into an evil smile and he ordered, "Check if Daniel is with Eric."

"Huh?" Bill looked at Edgar in confusion, but Edgar had already left with an inscrutable evil smile on his face.

Outside the office, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast.

Edgar drove to the Golden Bay, but he was in no hurry to get there. After arriving, he went directly to the top floor with the VIP rooms and a waiter guided him into one of the private rooms.

Edgar looked at the woman standing in front of the window and hearing the sound of the door open, she too turned around in time to look at him. She smiled and said, "I knew you would come."

Edgar put his hands into his pockets, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said indifferently, "I came here only to make clear my attitude." After a pause, he continued, "I've never thought of giving up, but that doesn't mean I'll be working with you. Although everything that happened at that time was done mostly for Molly, she was just a trigger for it because I hate being controlled."

"And now that you've gotten rid of everything that controlled you, what's going to happen? Isn't there anything else you want to win over?" the woman smiled and asked.

Edgar squinted his eyes under his glasses, and asked, "Aren't you a good friend of Molly's? Why on earth would you help me?"

"You know exactly why I want to help you. Why do you even bother to ask?" the woman raised her eyebrows and sneered with a cocky attitude, "My dear Mayor, are you really willing to let her go again?"

Edgar lowered his eyes, smiled bitterly and said, "Ever since I decided to compromise, I have pushed her away. Although I have dreamt about a happy future with her, she is definitely not the main line of my life. This time, I will pretend it never happened. However, in the future, you are not allowed to do anything harmful to Molly, no matter who else you use in whatever way you please. I am quite narrow- minded and vindictive, and if you don't do as I say, I could get very angry. And I will have to find creative ways to teach you a lesson."

The woman wasn't bothered by his threat. She kept her smile and said, "It never occurred to me that you didn't have a long-lasting special feeling towards Molly. I have always thought otherwise. And if it is as you say, then I don't understand why you've stayed here for more than four years."

"I did do much for Molly, but it's definitely not for the reasons you think," Edgar's eyes flashed with rage, "I have lost Molly forever, and you will never know why I still want to stay here and what I want to save."

Edgar said those last words in a very low voice, as if he was talking to himself. But his eyes became fierce once again, "In fact, I am quite curious to know if you can really fulfill your wish." The contemptuous tone of his voice eventually irritated the woman. "This is the first time we're meeting, and hopefully the last. I have a feeling that if we meet again, something dire might happen between us, and I'm afraid it will end badly for both of us. Wish you good luck,"

Edgar said, glaring at the woman. And then, he turned around and left without any hesitation, with the same attitude with which he had come in to see her.

As soon as the door closed in front of the woman, she giggled coldly and said, "Edgar, what I want to do will be done at all costs."

Brian drove to Mark's school with Molly by his side.

The two remained silent through the ride, just like they used to in the past, as if it was a new beginning for them, and also as if they had also inherited something from the past.
