Chapter 253 Is It Wrong To Fall In Love With Someone (Part One)

Sitting in front of the bay window of Edgar's apartment, Jenifer held a steaming cup of coffee. The dun
brew reached her nose and she inhaled deeply.

The sunshine settled on her through the clean windows.

She bathed in the golden sunshine, which made her look even more graceful and gorgeous. She was
radiant, just like an angel.

"Creak!"

The sound of the door disturbed the peace of the apartment. It was Edgar, returning from work. Jenifer
turned to look back at Edgar with bitterness in her heart. Sometimes his work seemed more important
than her. She simply raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically,"You're so busy. Do you know how
many days it's been since you've been home?"

Edgar took a look at Jenifer, without answering her question. He said coldly,"I came back for some
papers." He focused on something else now, and had no time to mollify her.

Without another word, Edgar walked into his study.

Jenifer stood up from the window seat, put her unfinished coffee on the table, and headed for the study.
She leaned lazily against the door, watching Edgar searching his bookcase. Until she saw Edgar
frowning, she said in disdain,"I take it you're looking for the papers on Mr. Brian Long. Something to do
with the investigation?"

Now all his attention was focused on her, not to mention his anger. "I told you not to touch the papers in
the study!"

"I've already seen them. So?" Jenifer defiantly folded her arms, not in fear but in anger.



Instead of answering Jenifer's question, Edgar said coldly,"Give me the papers!"

"Oh! Those? I threw them out. Less clutter, you know?"

Edgar narrowed his eyes in anger and said,"Woman, you've forgotten who you are!"

Jenifer remained defiant. "And you've forgotten why you came to this city in the first place!" Jenifer
stood up angrily, looked at Edgar coldly, and asked,"What have you been doing for more than a month?
Have you forgotten what grandpa told you? Why are you spending all your time building bridges and
roads, not to mention caring about Molly? Huh! Edgar, you're here for your mission, not for Molly!"

"So you're lecturing to me now?" Edgar looked at Jenifer and said with contempt,"I can do whatever I
want. My appointment with Major General Zeng has nothing to do with you!"

Edgar put his hand out and said,"Give me the papers! Now!"

Jenifer was furious, but Edgar didn't care at all. She turned to pick up the papers and threw them at
Edgar, yelling,"All you care about is Molly! Huh! Justin has arrived, what will you do then?"

Edgar was about the leave, but he stopped. He looked back at her and realized that she was not
joking, so he asked,"Mr. Justin Yan is here?" That didn't portend well.

"Huh!" Jenifer said acidly. "Didn't you ask Bill to investigate?"

Edgar replied,"At first he got nothing, then he got the information that it was Rory, Mr. Justin Yan's twin
brother, who came to the city. Now you say that Justin Yan has come here-"

"Isn't Bill a corporate spy? He didn't find anything? It doesn't look like he's all that good," Jenifer
interrupted.



Growing weary of Jenifer's scorn, Edgar got even angrier, and said,"How good he is at his job is none
of your business."

"Ha-ha." Jenifer smiled. "Edgar, I'm right here. Why don't you ask me for help?"

Edgar looked at Jenifer, and thought, 'Jenifer was a crack scout back in her old battalion days. She's a
good helper, but this is about Molly. I can't completely trust Jenifer.' Thinking about this, Edgar said to
Jenifer,"I'm not you. I'll stick to my principles."

Edgar then left the apartment without any hesitation, leaving Jenifer there alone. Jenifer looked at the
tightly closed door and gritted her teeth. She clenched her fists and kicked at the decorative pictures on
the wall. With a clang, the decoration dropped to the floor, and its glass shattered.

"Asshole!" Jenifer's eyes turned red with anger. She hated Molly even more. And she was beginning to
do the same with Edgar.

Edgar went downstairs and saw Bill waiting for him in the car. When Bill saw his unhappy face, he
knew he and Jenifer got into it. But still, it was none of his business. He pressed his lips and shrugged.
"Mr. Mayor, Mr. Brian Long is back."

Edgar frowned and turned to Bill.

"He lost our informant and came back three days ago," Bill said patiently, feeling a little annoyed about
his mistake. He wasn't going to let it show.

Edgar looked down at the papers in his hand and thought, 'Neither Mr. Brian Long nor Mr. Justin Yan
wants anyone to know where they are. Everyone wants to be mysterious these days.'

"Go back to the Parliament House," Edgar said calmly. "By the way, I want to see Mr. Shen."

"Yes, sir!" Bill answered and drove away.



Jennifer, standing in front of the apartment's window, watched Edgar's car pulling away. She was
furious, so she took out her phone, and sent a coded message to someone...

At Emp Exchange

Brian was in a conference with the representatives of M Country. Recently, the global stock market
fluctuated a little bit, which attracted many countries' attention, but they had still not found the reason.

The meeting stretched on till noon. Brian finally called it to a close when nothing seemed to be getting
done. Harrow stretched and asked Brian,"Where are we going to eat?" Brian thought about it for a
second and said,"Wherever you want." Then he got up and left.

It was a sunny day. The snow on the streets had begun to melt, but it was still cold. Tony drove down
the busy street and asked,"Are we going back to the villa?" Tony sounded uncertain. He thought, 'Mr.
Brian Long has been preoccupied since he came out of the Emp Exchange. He's just staring at his
phone. What is he looking at? Why is he checking it so obsessively?'

"No. Go to Grand Night Casino first," Brian said calmly. He still stared at the phone without raising his
head. This was unusual for him. What had commanded all of Brian's attention was a picture of two
snowmen on his phone. Both of these were built by Molly. After Molly finished, she wanted to take a
picture of them, but she had left her phone in her room, so she had taken the picture with Brian's
phone.

Brian looked at the two silly snowmen, somehow feeling warm and sweet in the very deepest parts of
his heart.

The two snowmen, one with Molly's red scarf and the other with his tie, were very close to each other.
They definitely looked like they belonged together.



Brian smiled. Tony took a look at Brian through the rearview mirror and thought, 'What is he looking at?
Why is he smiling? That's so strange!'

Right now, Molly sat on the floor in front of the window, leaning against the wall. The sun shone on her
through the French window, making her feel so warm.

The snowmen in the yard had melted so much that she couldn't see their faces. Looking at the scene,
Molly felt sad. Those were special snowmen that she made for Brian. She knew that she and Brian, like
two snowmen, had an unforgettable past but no future. No matter how close they were, they would
eventually be forced apart by circumstances beyond their control.

Molly looked down and turned on her phone. Looking at the picture of the intact snowmen, she smiled
and thought, 'Even if we break up, I want some good memories with you.'

Thinking of this, Molly smiled. She gently touched the picture on the screen with her fingers. The Two
snowmen in the photo, like her and Brian, were once so close to each other.

"What are you looking at?"

Eric joked. Molly didn't know when he came in or why he was here, which really freaked her out.

Eric didn't realize he scared Molly. Her heart stopped momentarily when he grabbed her cell phone. He
looked at the picture, and said unhappily,"What's up with the snowmen?"

As Eric spoke, he sent a photo of himself with Molly last night on Molly's phone and set it up as
wallpaper. In this photo, Eric held Molly in his arms. Looking at the phone screen, Eric said
happily,"Well. We're just like those two snowmen. Perfectly matched. Are you going to cry for being too
touched by this photo? Ha-ha!"

Molly frowned, took a look at her phone, and glared at Eric.



'Yeah, a match made in hell!' she thought. Eric sat down next to Molly, and said,"You should feel lucky.
Normally, I don't take pics with women. So I'll allow you to use that photo as your wallpaper."

After hearing Eric, Molly rolled her eyes and typed a line of words on her phone. "You're so glib."

After showing it to Eric, Molly wanted to delete the photo.

"No! You can't delete this picture!" Eric took the phone from her.

Molly glared at Eric, put out her hand, and stomped her feet.

Eric raised his head and said archly,"Promise me you won't delete this photo, and I'll give it back."

Molly frowned. As she could not speak, she could only stare at him to show her dissatisfaction.

"Promise you won't delete this photo," Eric said mischievously.
