Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 484 It's My Turn to Protect You! (Part Three)

"Miss Xia, may I know when you and Spark got married? Why did you get married?"

"Entertainment once printed a photo of Spark holding a kid in front of a dessert shop. Miss Xia, was this kid your kid with Spark?"

"Miss Xia, it was reported that you was pregnant as a result of a one-night stand between you and Spark. So you threatened him to marry you. Is that true?"

"Miss Xia, your son hasn't been able to speak since he was born, correct? It was said that it was because of inappropriate medicine that you were taking during your pregnancy. You knew it might affect him, yet you still chose to have him. So did you merely choose to keep the baby just to get Spark to marry you? Did you even think about your son's health?"

"Miss Xia, can you explain..."

Reporters and journalists bombarded Spark and Molly as they stepped outside the hotel where the charity auction banquet was to be held. Their car had just arrived and all the reporters and journalists dashed toward their car like a sea of people. It was a storm of questions as they wouldn't stop. It was just a string of questions one after the other. The reporters were too many for the security guards to keep a hold on the situation.

A reporter spotted Mark sitting in the car so he extended his microphone towards his direction and asked, "Is this your son with Spark, Miss Xia?"

The other journalists stopped at his words as none of them had noticed Mark yet. They started buzzing, even worse than before. Cameramen were wrestling everyone trying to get as many photos as possible. No one could afford to be left out of such groundbreaking

news.

Molly was startled. She'd never had the chance to deal with reporters before because that had always been Manny's job. She didn't know where these reporters were coming from - they had just swarmed all over all of a sudden. Their questions were too harsh and straightforward - it was too much for her to handle.

Manny was trying his best to keep some of the journalists at bay and the security guards were also doing their job. But reports didn't care about any of that. They were going crazy and they didn't mind getting hurt as long as they got the story. They fought their way through the sea of people no matter the consequence. They just shoved their microphones into Molly's face without a care about Molly's feelings. They were trained to be indifferent towards these things even if they could clearly see Molly was already getting hurt and bothered.

Mark sat inside the car with his lips pouted. He would have gotten out there and pushed all of them aside if only Spark hadn't told him specifically not to. These reporters were so relentless they wouldn't leave his mom alone.

Things were getting out of control. The security guards were now buzzing for help from the hotel security staff by buzzing on their walkie-talkies. However, when everything was happening, an angry voice stood out. Suddenly, it was dead quiet.

"I don't know where you get your rumors," Spark barked. He paused for a while, and hesitated before he continued, "I don't like rumors, so I'm going to make this clear," He paused again taking his time to look at everyone in front of him in their eyes. He held Molly's hand tightly and looked into her eyes, "Everyone must know that I love Molly, very much." Spark announced, "We wouldn't have hidden anything if it weren't for Mark. She was worried that Mark's life would change if we publicized our relationship. But then, there wouldn't be any rumors running around about my wife and what kind of person she is."

The crowd started to go crazy again as soon as Spark finished speaking. Molly didn't know what Spark's intention was because she didn't know why he chose to say those words in front of all these people. Her hand was tightly clung to Spark's, relishing the warmth and strength emanating from her husband. Finally, her mind was clear.

"Something happened that night. There we were together. And it was my fault because I was the one who couldn't hide my feelings anymore," Spark said, smiling as he reminisced. He seemed so happy and contented in the spotlight. "We were very lucky that that was the same night that Mark was created. Thanks to Mark, we were able to get a fresh start in our relationship. And thanks to Molly for breathing life back into my music again. A Mark of Summer is both for my wife and my son. That's why his name is in the title, did you notice that?"

Molly stared at Spark, amazed. As one of the most famous musicians in the world, his reputation wouldn't come out of this situation squeaky clean. But he just cleared the air right now, in public, with cameras and journalists and everyone else as if he was just talking to an old friend in a coffee shop. And he looked like he didn't mind laying out all the details. She gazed at Spark, feeling so many different emotions for him. She was touched, happy, upset, and surprised. Her lips couldn't help but form into a smile. She couldn't help but feel free as she finally felt that she had once and for all surrendered her heart to this man that she loved. This man who was willing to sacrifice anything and everything for her.

Manny also looked at Spark in surprise, not expecting those words would ever come out of Spark. That was the way more than he had expected. Suddenly, he felt angry, 'Is he just throwing his whole career away?' Manny thought inwardly.

The crowd went wild. The journalists who came here were equipped with the story that Molly had seduced Spark into marrying her. Although that piece of information came from an anonymous source, it was the piece of information that led all kinds of media press to swarm down her. But it turned out they were in for so much more as it seemed that Spark was telling a much better story than reporters only dreamt of. [
