Chapter 308 Why Is He Here (Part One)

"I'm tired of arguing.

I'll move in with you.

Is that cool with you?"

Brian stared at Becky out of the corner of his eye. He furrowed his brow and the first thought he had
was to turn her down. Becky was a stubborn girl. Instead of living at home, she stayed at the hotel.
Unlike her, Brian loved being at home with his mom. In every city where he knew he'd be staying for a
while, he'd buy a home there.

The only place he didn't buy a house was QY Island. He didn't want to draw Aaron's ire.

But Becky was different. She never seemed to want to go home even if she had one. Brian always
spoiled her so he never asked her to stay at home.

But... He always thought she'd eventually pop the question. It was just a matter of when she'd broach
the subject of them living together. Now that she wanted to do it, why did he get this feeling of
trepidation? Why did he want to tell her no?

Brian was silent for a long time. Becky exhaled sharply and lowered her head,"So you don't want to live
with me?" she asked sadly.

Brian withdrew his gaze and his eyes fell upon the front of the car,"Why do you want to move in all of a
sudden? Where's this coming from?"

Becky turned her head to see his face, but he still turned away. "It's because your're slipping away from
me," she said, in a gloomy voice. "I don't want to lose you."

When she said this, Brian's chest went tight. His gaze rested fondly on her. "No, you won't lose me,"



he said firmly, reaching up to stroke her lovely cheek. Then he said gently,"Come on. Let's get you to
the hospital."

Becky nodded in agreement. Straightening in his seat, Brian belted in and got the car started, ferrying
them both to the Empire Hospital. Becky hardly said a word to him the whole way. She felt more and
more uneasy -- Cindy's words kept echoing over and over in her mind.

"Don't be silly. Guys don't fall for just one girl."

"Becky, stop dragging your feet. Just go back to him."

"That girl stays with him. Aren't you afraid she'll steal him?

"It's been a month. You still haven't figured it out. You wanna give him up, that's none of my business.

"Becky, you're the only girl who's been with Brian for more than three days." "She's been living in his
house for more than a month."

That last one really got to her.

These words pained her. Her hands were closed into tight fists. Pursing her lips, she couldn't even feel
the pain from her burnt left hand.

'He doesn't want me to visit her house. He doesn't want me to move into his... It must because of her.
Because of Molly.'

These thoughts dominated her mind. But instead of remaining sad, Becky got angry. She clenched her
fingers even harder, blinking tears from her eyes wrathfully.

Brian, however, didn't notice her mood had changed. His eyes became deep and he knitted his
eyebrows. Only a moment ago, when he touched Becky's cheek, all he'd been thinking about was



Molly. Molly's skin wasn't as smooth as Becky's, but every time he touched it, especially when he
traced her lips with his fingers... Well, let's just say his pants got tighter when he did.

Brian blinked his eyes. It annoyed him a lot that Molly was always on his mind. Why could he not get
her out of his mind, even when he was with Becky? He set his mouth in a grim line. Then he pressed
the accelerator until the engine screamed.

It frightened Becky, She frowned and asked in a panic,"Brian. What's wrong?"

Her voice wrenched his thoughts away from Molly. He gave her a sidelong glance and eased up on the
speed,"Nothing's wrong. Just wanted to lose the other idiots trying to drive up my tailpipe."

He was always good at telling lies and hiding his feelings, so Becky just believed what he told her. She
had no idea what was really in his heart, and that was part of why she was so nervous.

Brian took Becky to the hospital to treat the scald on her left hand, and the doctor told her to avoid
getting her left hand wet for a week. Considering that she was functionally blind, Brian got a nurse from
the hospital to accompany her. Becky wanted to protest, but thought better of it and just accepted the
help. She knew that since Brian turned her down about the living situation, she should just go along
with him for right now and give him time to deal with that girl.

Thinking of this, she felt a little better about it. He'd only had a month with that girl, but she and Brian
had been together for ten years. There was no way Molly could compete with that.

"Just get some rest," he said,"I'm gonna leave. I've got a lot of work to do."

Becky nodded and said nothing. On her face was a look of sadness. Her face told him more than any
words could.

Brian looked at her, reading her feelings well. He sighed and said," I'll drop by after I'm done, okay?"



Becky responded with a nod, and still didn't say anything.

Brian kissed her forehead and said gently,"Good night." This didn't make her feel any better.

Then he closed the door and left. Hearing the door click, Becky put a thin smile on her face,"Yoyo, can
you run me a bath?"

"Yes. Miss Becky," Yoyo replied with a smile. Becky had been nothing but kind and friendly to her which
impressed her a lot, since she believed that rich people were all haughty and hard to get along with.
Becky was friendly, and saw no reason to be otherwise.

So Yoyo drew her bath, and Becky relaxed for a while, losing herself in the foam and the scent of the
bath salts. The hot water relaxed her, and put her in a better mood. When she was done, she emerged,
water dripping from her exquisite form, and she toweled off and donned a robe. Laying on the bed, she
gave Brian a ring.
