Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 2621: Chapter 94: Do You Think Molly Lewis Ever Liked Ben Lucas Back Then?

Ray Mckinley knocked on the study room door several times without any response, so he gently pushed the door open from outside.

As the door to the study room was opened, he peeked inside.

What he saw was Abraham Redington sitting behind the wide desk, slightly lifting his chin, his cold and deep blue eyes gazing outside the window, appearing both thoughtful yet perhaps not.

Ray Mckinley instinctively looked outside through the study room’s wide and transparent floor-to-ceiling window.

It was late autumn, and sycamore leaves were swirling down, gathering into golden shallows.

At such a time, when could the young master observe so intently?

Ray Mckinley increased his strength again, knocking on the door heavily, saying in a respectful tone, "Young master, Miss Molly has arrived."

Downstairs in the living room, Molly Wellington had already arrived.

The man, who was originally staring far away out the window, turned his icy blue eyes upon hearing Ray Mckinley’s words.

After ending his call with Yana Lucas, he had been deep in thought.

Even when Ray Mckinley entered, he hadn’t noticed.

"Hmm." He replied extremely coldly, as Abraham Redington stood up.

But as he took a single step, he paused.

He furrowed his brows and lifted his mysterious almond-shaped eyes, looking at his subordinate standing by the door.

"Ray Mckinley... do you think back then, Molly liked Ben Lucas?"

The question in his heart was finally asked.

This question had troubled him for years.

Back then, there was youthful impulsiveness, there was rebellion, there was the fierce determination to prove oneself... and there was also a kind of cowardice, a fear of discovering the truth.

Yana said that when he kissed Molly at ten years old and left, going off to Europe, it was because he feared he would grow close to Molly, afraid of doing something that would betray Ben Lucas.

Indeed, he left back then for that reason.

But wasn’t he also afraid that Molly liked not him?

The stubborn girl from back then always talked about Ben Lucas with eyes full of admiration.

When she saw him, she was scared, timid, afraid of making mistakes, yet she exuded the bashfulness of a girl seeing the boy she liked.

Yet when Molly Wellington faced him, she was always playful, carefree.

Compared to Ben Lucas, he seemed more like a normal friend to her.

So, at ten years old, he left, and it was ten years before he returned.

When he came back because of Molly and Ben Lucas’s engagement ceremony, reappearing in front of her.

He thought ten years was enough to forget the feelings of the past.

Who knew, just one meeting was enough for him to struggle no longer.

Unable to stop approaching her, unable to stop coveting her, unable to stop seizing something that shouldn’t belong to him.

When the scandal broke out, and he angrily left, everyone thought that was him letting go of Molly Wellington.

But only he knew that he had no choice but to leave.

If he continued to appear in front of Molly Wellington, continued watching her, getting close to her—just like when they met in the club after two and a half years.

Molly Wellington was his poison. As long as she appeared within his vision, she could make him forget all persistence and clear boundaries.

He thought he could cast her out again, deciding to fly back to Europe after leaving the club.

Yet it turned out, he simply couldn’t.

Just one meeting, and she clung to him like a shadow, never letting go again.

So, he appeared in the Royal Palace, employing every means, never letting go.

"Uh..." Ray Mckinley’s slightly nervous voice pulled Abraham Redington away from his cold thoughts.

"I don’t know, because the young master rarely stayed home back then. However... if we talk about it, back then... Miss Molly should have liked you, young master."

Ray Mckinley didn’t really know the answer; he only knew that back then, he secretly picked them up and dropped them off. During those times, Miss Molly nestled in the young master’s arms, her face blushing with a shy expression.

Such childhood sweetness, even now, Ray Mckinley still remembers.

Abraham Redington’s deep blue eyes darkened bit by bit.

Is that so?

Even Ray Mckinley could see that back then, she liked him.

"And now..." Abraham Redington subconsciously asked, his voice cold.

Ray Mckinley stiffened slightly, not daring to answer.

But remembering the young master’s temper, he had to brace himself and say, "Now... I don’t know either. But considering the situation when they met at the Royal Palace yesterday, maybe... Miss Molly now has something she likes even more?"
