Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 604

Kelly paused for a beat and took a profound gander at Brian when she walked past him, then walked away without ever looking back.

Brian might have appeared casual, but Kendall still saw him look away guiltily when Kelly paused before him.

So, Brian still had feelings for Kelly. It was just that the young woman was disgraced and pregnant with Jackson's child. Knowing the Zorns would never accept a woman like her into their family, Brian had no choice but to turn to Dulcie.

Immediately after the Parkers entered the hotel, Dulcie questioned Brian. "You still have feelings for Kelly, don't you?"

She loved Brian, and yes, she said she wouldn't mind his past with Kelly, but now that she saw the latter, she realized she still minded.

Sure, she ignored Kelly the whole time, but she kept an eye on Kelly from her peripheral vision the whole time, and she was especially pissed at how Kelly looked at Brian when she passed by him.

"Nothing will become of Kelly and me again," said Brian plainly as he headed toward the parking lot. "Don't let your thoughts run wild, and don't attack the wrong person. You know my history well, and you said you don't mind it."

"But I didn't let my thoughts run wild," explained Dulcie while chasing after him. "You looked guilty when Kelly looked into your eyes. It's only when you still like her that you'll feel guilty."

At that, she tugged on Brian, stopping him from leaving. "Come clean with me, Brian. You still can't let go of her, can you? She flirts casually with Jackson Whittle and is pregnant with his child. What is it about that woman? Can you not let go? Do you love to pick up someone else's trash so much?"

Brian turned grim at once, and he swung his arm to escape her grip. "If you want to continue dating me, then I suggest you stay out of my issue with Kelly. If you can't take it, just break up with me."

With that, he got into the car and drove away without waiting for Dulcie. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

What he hated most was that Kelly only saw him as a backup, and she would rather date Jackson and not him, even though he had loved her deeply for years.

She did explain that Jackson tricked her. Sure, Brian believed her the first time, but what about the rest? There were at least a few times out of the many that she did it willingly, right?

He watched the entire clip. It was evident to anyone that she f*cked around with Jackson willingly, and the two were even completely in the zone.

Also, what did it mean when she decided to keep the child after learning she was pregnant with Jackson's child? It meant that she still loved Jackson!

He knew the reason Kelly dated him after Jackson was put behind bars was to use him to tear Kendall apart.

It just so happened that he also wanted to attack Kendall, and since Kelly threw herself at him so timely, he would accept her unpretentiously.

Yes, he genuinely loved her in the past, but after she became his girlfriend, it was just a give and take.

"Brian!" Dulcie dashed toward the front of the car and slammed against the hood, causing Brian to slam on the brakes.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?!" he glared and roared at the young woman from inside the car.

Dulcie, on the other hand, looked aggrievedly at him with red-rimmed eyes, and Brian gazed grimly at her face, which was similar to Kelly's, for a long moment before finally rolling down the window and popping his head out. "Get it!" he ordered.

At that, Dulcie wiped her tears away and hurriedly got into the car, where she threw herself at Brian and kissed him non-stop.

"Dulcie." Brian dodged while wanting to push her away, but to his surprise, he couldn't, for she hugged and kissed him madly.

Gradually, Brian became turned on as well, and he started responding to her, circling her waist with one arm while securing her head with the other before pulling her closer to him. Then, he returned the kiss, and the two shared a long passionate moment in the car before Brian finally released her.

His gaze softened when he saw the teardrops hanging at Dulcie's eyes, and he gently wiped them away while sighing, "Kelly and I are history, Dulcie. Nothing will ever become of her and me. I admit I still have feelings for her, but my mother will never allow me to date her, nor will I ever marry her. She's carrying Jackson's child. Give me some time, okay, Dulcie? And also believe that I will never cheat on you as long as we're dating."

Dulcie's face was still flushed from their passionate kiss, and because she cried out of grievance, she choked with sobs. "Still, I'm jealous."

Brian sighed in response and caressed her cheek. "I was mean. I will never yell at you like that again."

Dulcie was her girlfriend, the person his whole family approved of. Plus, she looked a little like Kelly, so dating her gave him the illusion that he was still dating Kelly. But most importantly, Dulcie would be entirely his.

"I love you, Brian," the young woman cooed.

"I can't say that to you just yet," Brian said with a tender gaze. "If I do, I'd only be lying to you, but I promise I'll do my best to fall in love with you."

Dulcie felt much better after receiving his promise, so she sat right up and wiped her tears away with some facial tissue before asking, "Why did you stop me from befriending Young Mistress Coleman? If I end up befriending her, the feud between Zorn Holdings and Coleman Empire Holdings will alleviate, no? Coleman Empire Holdings is too scary. I'm not undermining us. It's just that nothing good ever comes to those who go against Coleman Empire Holdings."

If it weren't that Zorn Holdings were deep-pocketed, they'd have long become the second Whittle Holdings.

Even if Zorn Holdings was still standing, it had suffered a major blow.

"You're still too young and naive, Dulcie. You're oversimplifying the matter," said Brian as he restarted

the car.

"Dylan and Kendall are one. She wouldn't drag her husband down. The reason Coleman Empire Holdings would attack Zorn Holdings is that Dylan is helping Kendall with her vengeance. So, do you think she will stop Dylan? She would at least reconsider if you befriended her like the Taylors' daughter did before Kendall became Mrs. Coleman. But now, she wouldn't believe you genuinely wanted to be her friend. A lot are jealous of her, after all. Dulcie, don't concern yourself with business, nor do you have to worry about it. I will definitely give you the life you want if you choose me."

Brian had faith that, given his and his brothers' abilities, they'd be able to keep Zorn Holdings standing.

In the worst-case scenario, they'd move away from Orapolis temporarily and rebuild their company in another town. He still possessed a few private assets, after all.

He'd use them to get back on his feet.

As long as Dulcie married him, he would support her even if it meant working for someone else. Of course, by then, Dulcie and the Sullivans might give up on him.
