Chapter 2770 - 243: The Calm Before the Storm
Lincoln Harrison initially just admired Molly Wellington, but after last night, he decided to let go and withdraw.
That Redington Young Master is outstanding, and he and Molly Wellington are a perfect match, although Lincoln has a fondness for Molly Wellington, he has no interest in ruining others’ relationships.
However, after witnessing the scene in the conference room this morning, he felt that Molly Wellington seemed so pitiful.
She is first an independent individual, and only then a girl who likes that Redington Young Master.
If Abraham Redington cannot even understand this, then he truly is not worthy of claiming to love this girl.
...
Lincoln Harrison stopped speaking further and stood there, lowering his gaze to quietly wait for Molly Wellington to process his words.
He didn’t know that what he said might seem like having ulterior motives, like a rejected suitor slandering his rival.
But only Lincoln Harrison knew the reality.
He simply couldn’t bear seeing a vibrant girl like Molly Wellington trapped in an invisible cage.
"...Thank you, Mr. Harrison, I understand." After a while, Molly Wellington slightly nodded, neither immediately expressing her stance nor completely ignoring his words as Lincoln feared.
Lincoln Harrison was worried: "Underclassman, do you really understand? I mean..."
"I really understand." Molly Wellington interrupted Lincoln Harrison, lowered her eyes to look at her toes, not looking at him: "I understand your meaning, and thank you... for being willing to be the villain at such times."
She was genuinely grateful to Lincoln Harrison.
In such circumstances, even with someone as seemingly perfect as Abraham Redington, being able to keep a rational mindset and stand in her shoes to consider things was truly rare.
Actually, since the morning, Molly Wellington had been deeply entangled.
Perhaps others would think she was dramatic, troubled, not knowing happiness when she had it.
But life isn’t always lived for oneself... the young and naive Molly Wellington didn’t understand this before; she only saw Andrew Howard, who she liked, with all her heart and mind.
It was only upon growing up that she realized, for someone to truly understand and love you, the most important thing is to first understand and love yourself.
"I’ll carefully consider your words. Senior, I’ll head upstairs now... thank you." Molly Wellington did not confide her inner feelings to Lincoln Harrison.
Even though she had grown disappointed with Abraham Redington, it hadn’t reached the point where she would pour out her feelings to another man about Redington’s shortcomings.
No matter what, even if there is disappointment, the person she loves most in her heart is forever Andrew Howard.
She... couldn’t bear to speak ill of him.
The brief encounter with Lincoln Harrison along the corridor during lunch break was like an interlude, leaving hardly any ripple in Molly Wellington’s heart.
Regardless of her situation with Abraham Redington, it was not the focus now; Molly Wellington immersed herself entirely in preparing her graduation project and thesis.
In the period that followed, she reported to school every day, discussing and researching with senior male and female students.
When the day ended, as promised to Abraham Redington, she went to the Royal Palace to meet him, accompanying him after work.
Sometimes they worked overtime together at his company; while he worked, she prepared her thesis on the side.
Abraham Redington graduated skipping grades from a prestigious international university, his work capabilities are exceptional; he would even review Molly Wellington’s thesis and modify her project - the two of them were sweetly inseparable for a while.
But this sweetness always gave Molly Wellington a sense of instability.
Clearly, everything seemed perfect, yet an inexplicable unease always surged within her heart.
And on the day before she submitted her thesis for the defense, the unease that had been accumulating in her heart finally came true.
