BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 - 90: That night, were you really sincere?
Molly wanted to hide, but there was only one way out, unless she went back to the private suite.
“Mr. Gallagher, what a coincidence to see you here…” Molly laughed awkwardly on the surface but cursed inside her heart.
She should have known it earlier. Nothing good comes when Jake Leaford appears.
Now, what couldn’t she understand when she saw Michael Gallagher?
Jake Leaford did it on purpose!
Molly didn’t try to hide anymore and decided to lay her cards on the table.
“Mr. Gallagher, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Seeing her giving up attitude, Michael Gallagher’s unspoken words were all suppressed deep down in his heart, stirring up anger inexplicably.
“What do you think I’ll talk to you about?” Michael Gallagher’s smile disappeared, his voice low, “Talk about Isabelle Richardson? Or how you became Ivy Thompson?”
Molly’s lips moved slightly: “It better not be about Isabelle… ‘ “It’s not.” Michael Gallagher calmly and unhurriedly denied it.
“Then it’s…”
“I just want to ask you one thing.” He approached her, his thin lips curling up, like a thousand-year-old ice melting, “Have you ever liked me during these years?”
He had always been wondering about one thing: whether Molly had ever liked him.
Jake Leaford once said that no one would willingly stay with someone else for so many years.
Moreover, his mother also said that Molly liked him…
“Is that important?” Molly asked back, her smile in her eyes gradually fading.
They were already divorced, so what difference would it make to ask this now? Were they going to remarry?
“I just want to know if you were sincere about that night.”
His voice contained hoarseness and restraint.
Hearing this, Molly’s heart leaped wildly, and her breathing began to quicken.
“I told you before, I didn’t drug us that day.” She stepped back hurriedly. There were steps behind her, and her foot stepped on empty air. At the crucial moment, Michael Gallagher grabbed her hand and saved her from falling.
After steadying herself, she instinctively covered her belly.
Michael Gallagher’s gaze drifted to her abdomen.
Molly hurriedly pretended nothing happened and removed her hand: “Thank you.”
“I know you didn’t put the drugs, it was my mother.”
Molly became silent.
Deep down, she had always thought it was her mother-in-law who did it, but she had never considered it seriously.
And the incident didn’t have much of an impact. It gave her an excuse to divorce, so she could let him go and herself give up.
Her mother-in-law had meant well, but she must not have expected that after this happened, Molly would decide to divorce.
“Now that the misunderstanding has cleared up, that’s fine.” Molly casually waved her hand, as if she didn’t care.
Seeing her like this, a bitter feeling arose from the bottom of Michael Gallagher’s heart.
With Harry Lambert or Jeremy Norman, she could get along so well, why couldn’t she with him…
Seeing him not speaking, Molly explained as if afraid of misunderstanding: “Don’t worry, I was also a victim in the drug incident. I didn’t do it on purpose to you… ‘
Recalling her initiative that night, Molly didn’t want to remember.
They both had taken the drug, but she remembered that night. She was too eager.
And many moves were her on top…
Thinking of this, Molly felt somewhat desperate.
In college, she had watched many adult films with her roommates and bragged a lot, but she had no experience at all in that area… how could she have known that after taking the drug, she would become as fierce as a tiger descending the mountain…
She raised her eyelids and glanced at Michael Gallagher, hoping he wouldn’t mention the details.
However, things didn’t go as she wished…
Michael Gallagher’s eyebrows twitched, “If you didn’t have feelings for me, why were you so active that night?”
“I…” Molly was so embarrassed that she almost jumped, “Maybe… maybe I’m sensitive to that drug. I really don’t remember what happened that day. We’re divorced now. How about we just forget about it…
It was only one time! I don’t care, why do you!
“That time was because of the drug. Haven’t you followed your heart once…”
Michael Gallagher wanted to say more, but Molly immediately interrupted him: “Stop! Brother, it’s over now. Also, we’re divorced now. It doesn’t matter whether we like each other or not…”
“Meaningful!” Michael Gallagher’s brows and eyes flickered, considering telling her about remarriage, but afraid it might scare her. After thinking about it, he whispered softly, “Can I be your boyfriend?”
When he and Molly Walker had gotten married, they had skipped the dating stage. So, since he had decided to win her back, he might as well start over fresh.
Hearing the phrase “be your boyfriend, ” Molly was completely dumbfounded.
What did that mean?
Their divorce had just been concluded, and he already wanted to be her boyfriend?
Moreover, he had brought up the events of that day.
Was it because he… wanted her to be that… sort of friend?
It had been said that many couples continued to be connected by lingering emotions after divorce, easily becoming FWB.
Unexpectedly, Michael Gallagher had such thoughts.
Molly walked to the nearest table and picked up someone else’s cup. The surprised gazes of others watched as she poured the entire contents onto Michael Gallagher.
“Scumbag!”
Michael Gallagher did not dodge, his deep eyes glistening with wavering light.
Molly’s chest heaved with anger.
They were divorced, and he still wanted to be intimate friends with her.
He had even asked if her heart had ever wavered.
If she had said yes, wouldn’t she have been manipulated by him, and wouldn’t she have had to take the initiative every night?
Tsk!
Scumbag!
Setting down the cup, Molly smiled at the guests and said, “I’m sorry, ask him for compensation. He’s got money.”
After saying this, she straightened her back and strode out.
Not long after she left, Jake Leaford and Jeremy Norman finished chatting and headed to the underground parking lot.
Michael Gallagher was sitting in the car waiting for him.
“How did it go?” Jake Leaford asked excitedly, “Did you explain everything to
“I did.” Michael Gallagher’s face was cold. “She splashed me with a seven thousand five hundred dollars cup of water.”
“How could this happen… What exactly did you say to her? Why is she so angry?”
“I said I want to be her boyfriend.”
Jake Leaford suddenly realized: “No wonder. You can’t just say you want to be her boyfriend directly.”
“What should I have said instead?” Michael Gallagher’s dark eyes showed a rare confusion.
He had never pursued a girl before; in the past, girls had confessed to him. All he had to do was to accept or reject their confessions; he had no experience in expressing his feelings to anyone.
The one exception was when he proposed to Molly.
Jake Leaford thought for a moment: “Think about it. You just got divorced, and you say you want to be her boyfriend. What would she think?”
Michael Gallagher frowned.
“She must think you’re sleazy.”
Michael Gallagher: ‘
“Next time just say that you want to be her ordinary male friend, not her boyfriend. It’s more reliable to start as friends, giving you a chance to get to know each other better.”
Michael Gallagher’s eyebrows raised slightly: “But I don’t want to be her ordinary friend. We don’t need to get to know each other any more either.” “Look at Harry Lambert and Jeremy Norman. Did either of them say they wanted to be her boyfriend right away? Getting close to the person you like as a friend is the most convenient and fastest way.”
After Jake Leaford finished speaking, Michael Gallagher kept silent, seeming to be considering the feasibility of this method.
After leaving the Tea House, Molly headed to the hospital.
She had been concealing her pregnancy, afraid of running into acquaintances. She could only sneak in prenatal check-ups every time.
Exiting the elevator, she walked towards the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Not far away, Lana Lewis and Bailey Gallagher arrived on the same floor.
Although Bailey looked like her son, she still wanted to have a DNA test done, so she could feel reassured.
On this floor, Bailey glanced unconsciously in the direction of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
It was during their last visit when he had encountered Molly. He had stolen her divorce certificate and angered her.
What a coincidence, this time, he saw Molly again..
