A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 172

Things have already come so far, she didn't have the chance to regret things anymore, she couldn't turn back time either, so she could only hope that Celia could forget her after she calmed down.

--

Sherry didn't expect that she would receive Leon's phone call, he said that he had something to ask her, and then, William and Sherry went over to the restaurant.

Leon was waiting for them at the entrance, when he saw Sherry get off the car, he asked William, "I need to talk to Sherry alone please!"

William nodded quietly.

Because of the issue with Susan and Cohen, Sherry felt that she owed Leon, if it wasn't for Cohen, maybe Leon and Susan would have been a happy couple right now.

Leon was wearing a white shirt, a dark silver suit, it was a hand made Italian suit, very fitting to his figure, which made him look even taller. The sharp lines on his handsome face were elegant, he was always clean, natural and unrestrained. There was sadness written between his brows, it had been there ever since Sherry knew him, she thought it must be because of Susan!

"Leon, I am sorry!" Sherry said.

Leon pulled a grimace, and said bitterly, "Is Susan doing well?"

Sherry nodded, "Yeah!"

"Can you ask her to come out for me?" Leon asked.

Sherry was surprised, because of the guilt she felt towards Celia and Leon, she didn't even think about it before she agreed, "Sure!"

Leon nodded, "Don't tell her that I want to see her!"

"Why?"

"She won't want to see me! But I have to meet with her!" Leon's smile was a little disappointed, "Don't worry, I just want to tell her something, that's it!"

--

Ashley received a phone call from Leon, and she was excited because she thought it was about the engagement, the last time their engagement party was spoilt by Cohen, she had wanted to rearrange to another day.

But when she came to the restaurant, Leon said to her, "Ashley, let's end this, I am sorry, but I cannot love you!"

Ashley stared at him shocked, she couldn't believe him, "Leon, what, what are you talking about?"

"Ashley..." Leon looked at her pale face, and suddenly couldn't bare it, but he bit his teeth and said, "I am sorry, let's break up."

Ashley's eyes started to burn, tears were filling her eyes, and ran down her cheeks.

"I know you don't love me, I knew all the time!" Ashley mumbled in a low voice, her voice was stuffy, "But I thought you would like me, but I was wrong, I am sorry, Leon, I had entangled you all this time, I won't bother you again! Never again!"

He saw her tears and was shocked about her expression, he suddenly felt hurt. He owed this girl! What kind of an gaze did she have!

It was filled with anger, pain, hurt, emotions, she had a helpless bitter laugh, her voice was so light while her tears ran down her face, her big dark eyes were staring at him, like this was her last time looking at him, "Good bye!"

Ashley ran outside the restaurant crying, she looked back at the name of the restaurant, "Wait", the tears blurred her eyes, she knew that he was never waiting for her, never!

As she ran outside, the tears were flowing with the wind, love was like a poison, it went through one's body and would always leave something behind. She thought that the disease was not curable.

Leon looked down, his fists were clenched, and he didn't run after her.

When Sherry called, it woke Leon up.

But he heard Sherry's apologetic voice from the other side of the line, "Sorry Leon, Susan already guessed that you are the one who wants to see her, she told me to give you a message, treasure the people around you! Don't always look back at the past, don't wait for a breakup before realizing that the person who had been with you all the time is the most suitable one! Leon, sorry..."

Before she even finished talking, Leon laughed bitterly, she didn't even want to see him! He had to forget about her!

After hanging up, Sherry took a deep breath, she felt a twitch in her heart, she couldn't describe her guilt, "He is in so much pain! He had been waiting all this time, but gained nothing in the end!"

William took her into his arms, his face showed no emotions, but with a hint of softness he said, "Let's go, we should go to see Susan and Cohen, don't think about it too much, everyone has his own destiny."

William drove Sherry to the Group house, the whole way he was driving with one hand, the other hand holding Sherry's, she suddenly asked him sadly, "William, will we hold hands like this forever?"

When he heard her question, William grabbed her hand tighter, his pupils narrowed, "Sherry, you are overthinking!"

...

In the living room of the Jones' house.

“Boohoo...”Ashley was crying very painfully.

"Ashley, don't cry!" Sierra tried to comfort her, "Don't cry already!"

"Sierra, he said he wanted to break up with me, he said he never loved me, what should I do?" Ashley cried so heartbreakingly.

Sierra sighed, "He doesn't know how good a person you are!"

"Fuck, fuck! I want to kill him! I will kill Leon!" Payne was yelling in the living room.

"No, Dad, no!" Ashley shook her head, and cried silently.

"Ashley, nobody is allowed to hurt you, I will never allow Leon to get away with it!"

"No!" Ashley shook her head, "I don't want him anymore, I don't want him, never again!"

Sierra pulled her into her arms, "Ashley, let it out, cry it out, you will feel better after! Everything will be alright!"
