Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 121 Got Used to Being Kidnapped (Part Three)

Shirley understood Antonio's worries, so she signalled to Molly and then walked up to Antonio. "I am just watching a concert. There's nothing dangerous. Richie is always worrying too much.What's more, I look so special in other people's eyes because you are always following me. Without you by my side, I would just be a common woman taking my daughter to the concert," said Shirley with a smile.

Consciously, she really treated Molly as her own child.

Despite her words, Antonio still felt a little bit worried. He knew that it should be safe inside the stadium, but he was careful, just in case.

"Okay, okay, I will be fine. I should go in now," Shirley said and patted Antonio's shoulder to reassure him. "In general situations, I'm still capable of protecting myself."

Helpless, Antonio sighed. He had no choice but to wait outside. "Okay, I will wait outside. Please call me as soon as the concert is over!" said Antonio.

"Okay!" Shirley answered. She didn't ask Antonio to go back to the hotel first. She knew that even if she asked, he still wouldn't go back.

Then, Shirley took Molly to the entrance, and after the security check, they went inside the stadium. Gradually, all the crowds outside went into the stadium, and the gates finally closed with waves of euphoric yelps, you'd think they'd bring the stadium down, literally.

Antonio leaned against a tree trunk, and with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looked at the large screen of the stadium emotionless. On the screen, Park Shin Chun's concert promotion video by Flight Media was playing.

Antonio's stern face softened a little at memories from the old days. He still remembered the love stories between Richie, Shirley and Eric's father, Frank. Now, Brian and Eric were grown-ups.

Night gradually grew deeper while wild uproar, acclamation, and screams from fans ruled the sky from inside. Outside, only the dim yellow lights were dancing on the road.

Several strong men, dressed in black suits, shirts, and black masks on their faces, were hiding themselves in a corner near the stadium. As the concert was coming to the end, they discreetly sneaked in without being noticed by Antonio...

The waves of continuous screaming and shouting were deafening. Those sounds could really get people's adrenaline pumping. Antonio suddenly understood why Richie didn't come with Shirley.

Richie was so possessive about Shirley. If he saw with his eyes that Shirley was crazy for another man, he would not take it well, and that would make Shirley miserable, too.

Antonio slightly raised his brows as he heard thundering sounds of 'encore', again and again, in the stadium. Finally, after the last song, the concert ended. Gradually, with satisfaction left on their faces, the audience started to trickle out of the stadium. They seemed that they were still longing for more.

From the moment Antonio saw the first group of people out, he had walked to the appointed door, and waited for Shirley and Molly. However, he stayed for a long time, until only a handful of audiences was left. But Shirley and Molly were nowhere to be seen.

Frowning, Antonio took out his phone and dialed Shirley's number. No response. The beep on the line made Antonio feel very worried. A hunch that something was wrong rose in his heart. Immediately he ran into the stadium. He kept calling Shirley again and again while he searched for their figures in every corner of the stadium. The call still was not connected.

In fact, Shirley's phone was vibrating at the restaurant, on the top floor of Falloon Mall. She had left her phone there earlier, and unfortunately, no one had sat in that seat after Shirley left.

To Molly, this one month felt like a scene out of the movies. Time and again in the past few days, she had been kidnapped, wounded and kidnapped again. She had gotten used to it. Still, she was now experiencing another kidnapping incident...

Hands tied behind their backs, Shirley and Molly were sitting back-to-back. It was dark around them, except for a thin beam of light coming through the ventilator in the wall.

"I don't know which of us is their target," Shirley muttered. She was Richie's wife, and Molly was now together with Brian, so Shirley thought that either of them might be the kidnapper's target. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Aunt Shirley, I am sorry to have involved you in danger!" Molly said as she lowered her head, a dash of guilt flashing through her eyes.

In a somewhat relaxed mood, Shirley smiled, looking as if she worried less about their situation. She even comforted Molly,"It's hard to tell. Maybe I am the one who has brought you trouble."

"No, how come? It should be me," Molly said and then compressed her lips.

Sympathy welling in her heart, Shirley turned her head at an angle and indistinctly saw Molly's downcast face. She smiled and assured her,"No matter who is the target, we are together in this. We have to face it as a team, understand? Moreover, I was the one who asked you to come with me to the concert, right? You wouldn't have been kidnapped if I hadn't asked for your company."

Slightly, Molly turned her head around and saw Shirley's smiling lips. She wondered why Shirley appeared so composed in such a dangerous situation.

Shirley put on a bigger smile as if she had understood Molly's suspicion, and she said,"I came across something even more dangerous than this when I was young. Not just once. In my lifetime, I've faced far too many dangers. At first, I was very negative, but later I learned to stay positive about everything.

For as long as there's hope, there is certainly a way. If you lose your faith, your chances are as good as gone."

The philosophical reflections in Shirley's simple words were comforting. At least they lifted Molly from her self-condemnation. Not knowing why, Molly felt at ease each time she was with Shirley. Even in this trying moment, it gave her the courage to keep her nerve.

"Rest assured. Antonio will find us very soon!"Shirley said winking her eyes. She wanted to say that her phone had GPS tracking, but suddenly remembered that she had left her phone in the restaurant.

"Aunt Shirley, what's up? Is something wrong?" sensing Shirley's sudden silence, Molly anxiously asked.

"No, nothing serious!" Shirley answered, trying to compose herself.

As soon as Shirley finished her words, they heard the unlocking sound of the door. Instinctively, they both looked towards the door as someone pushed it open.

And at that moment, a tall and heavyset man walked in. They couldn't quite see the man's face since he was standing with his back to the light. But they could feel the anger and malicious aura around him.
