A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 161

At this moment, she was still a bit afraid of what he might suddenly do to her. The memory of forcing her to have a miscarriage that day was so bad that she felt scared every time she thought back on it. So whenever he approached her, she would even flinch instinctively.

“Susan, you can’t go out!” Cohen suddenly tightened his arms. Hugging her, he whispered, “I promise I won’t hurt you again!”

“I want to leave!” Susan said faintly, not refusing his hug, but murmuring, “Let me go! You said I’m free!”

Then she broke free of his hand, carried her handbag, and headed out.

He let go of his hand and leaned in the doorway to look at her.

“Stop!” He finally spoke up.

Her body stiffened and she stopped in her tracks. Closing her eyes to hide her nervousness, she looked back at him. “What do you want?”

He wrapped his arms around his chest and just looked at her with his eyes gleaming like flaming torches, but didn’t say another word. She hesitated, not knowing what to do. If she left and he didn’t let her go, everything would be in vain. But she really didn’t know how to stay here any longer. Stay in what capacity, his lover? No more, she was free now!

“Go back to your room and stay there!” He urged, not allowing her to refuse.

“You can’t imprison me anymore!” She hesitated for a moment, couldn’t help but say.

“I’m not imprisoning you! But you are not allowed to leave!” Cohen said in a muffled voice, his tone domineering.

…

At this moment, Susan’s phone rang. Cohen looked at her and his eyes fell on her handbag.

“Your call!” He said.

She had no choice but to go back to her room and answer the phone, only to find that it was Leon calling. She listened to the low, deep voice on the other end of the phone, “Susan, I’m getting engaged!”

She was stunned, her expression stiffening even though she had known about it. “Congratulations, Leon!”

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Leon asked.

Cohen didn’t leave, instead, he stood at the door watching Susan talking on the phone. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Cohen, then said with a detached expression on her face. “Congratulations to you and Miss Jones. I wish you both always be in love, grow old together, and have your baby soon!”

“Do you really say it from the bottom of your heart?”

“Yes! These are my true words!” she said, but her eyes fell on Cohen. “You must be happy~!”

“William and Sherry have come to me!” Leon said.

She paused, not expecting them to go to him, so did he know about her current situation? Then she said, “You don’t have to take it to heart!”

“Then come to my engagement party!” he added.

“If you want me to attend, I’ll definitely be there!” Her tone was euphemistic, while her face was pale but still wore a faint smile. “Miss Jones is beautiful, you should marry her sooner instead of just getting engaged!”

If they had been married instead of engaged, perhaps she would be Mrs. Hickman now, instead of Cohen’s lover!

“Then you come the day after tomorrow!” Leon said, “I’m hanging up!”

“Okay, bye!” It was such a simple phone call, and Cohen waited for her to finish.

“Is Leon getting engaged?” he asked in a hushed voice.

“Yes!” Susan nodded.

“Do you still love him?” He asked again.

She didn’t answer his question, just said, “We’ll never go back to the way we were!”

“I see!” He nodded as he turned and walked out without saying anything else.

Susan was stunned for a moment. She looked at his leaving back, wondering what he meant…

The next day.

Leon’s engagement party was held at his own restaurant, which was named “Wait”.

The huge flower baskets were placed on both sides of the entrance to the restaurant. Flowers, balloons, banners, all signified the grand and warm atmosphere.

Leon’s parents, Payne and Sierra, were standing at the entrance to greet the guests.

Although it was just an engagement party, it was as ostentatious as a wedding ceremony since the only daughter of the Jones family was getting engaged.

Leon didn’t look very happy. He was wearing a trim suit and standing in the doorway, like he was waiting for someone!

Sherry and Susan had already arrived. When they just arrived, Sherry sat in the car and watched the scene over there from afar, while Susan in the back seat looked indifferent.

“Let’s get off!” Susan said indifferently.

“Okay!” After giving each other a glance, Sherry and William also got out of the car.

Liam’s laughter was heard in the distance, “Hey! I didn't think we’d get gathered here. Do you have time for us to have a few drinks together?”

Sherry turned her head and saw Liam behind them, Sarah standing beside him. When they stood together, they looked really perfect for each other. Sarah was smiling so brightly beside Liam.

William glanced at the entrance of “Wait” in the distance, “Fuck off!”

Liam didn’t care about this and said with a smile, “Will, you’ve been decadent for so long. If you keep this up, Mr. Rowland will crack up! When are you going back to work?”

William frowned as soon as he heard he had to go back to work. “Damn you!”

It suddenly occurred to Sherry that he had been accompanying her for the past few days and didn’t seem to have mentioned going to work, “Yeah, when are you going to work?”
