A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 242

Vincent White looked at her and did not express anything on his face. “Let’s go to eat now!”

The woman grabbed Vincent’s arm and went back to the dining table. Vincent inadvertently looked at Leila Hunter who had already seated. Meanwhile, Callum West was helping her to get some food. “Leila, you need to eat more since you are too skinny!”

Vincent noticed her facial expression with his sharp eyes.

Leila lowered her head habitually but she still felt Vincent’s scorching eyes that were coming from a distance.

“Thank you. I can do it myself!” said Leila. She did not eat the food given by Callum but picked up other food by herself.

“Can you give me some food too!” Renee Byrne noticed that Callum was embarrassed so he said it immediately.

“Alright!” Callum helped Renee to get some food.

“Leila, I heard that you are married? Is it real that your husband is a group’s director?” Meanwhile, Renee asked suddenly.

Leila was stunned and the men sitting at the next table were stunned too.

“Leila, have you married for real?” Callum put down the chopsticks and his eyes were gloomy.

“This crab is really good, you all should give it a try.” Leila did not answer the question but changed the subject.

She could feel the attention from all the directions where the people around were staring at her as if they wanted to know her thoughts. She did not like to become the focus and be stared at by others especially when things came to personal matters.

Leila started to put down the chopsticks and pried open the crab shells with her hands.

“Let’s eat. It is really good. The crab is fleshy and tender!” Callum knew that Leila did not want to speak more about that so he did not ask continuously but just smiled elegantly.

Renee said, “If it were me, I will definitely look for a rich bachelor so I can rely on him for the whole lifetime. There is no need for me to work and sleep until I wake up naturally. After that, I can do facials and go shopping too. What a pleasant day like that!”

“You? Impossible!” Callum sneered at him.

“Callum, do not underestimate others!” Renee said it powerfully.

Leila smiled and did not say anything. Without noticing, she saw Vincent then felt worried in her inner side so she pulled the crab forcefully by accident. At that moment, the crab’s leg was pierced into her delicate skin.

“Ah!”

“Ah! Wound!” Callum immediately held her hands and asked, “Why are you so careless, are you fine?”

While saying, he helped Leila to wipe away the blood with a piece of tissue.

“Oh my god! This meal causes your bleeding, are you alright?” said Renee.

“Nothing, I am fine for real.” Leila pulled back her hand and wiped her hand with the tissue.

“Vincent, why don’t you eat?” The lady in white noticed that Vincent lost his attention so she regained Vincent’s attention immediately. Meanwhile, she looked in the direction of Leila.

Vincent smiled and took the chopsticks to eat while looking at the dining table placed next inadvertently. Then, he paused and waved his hand to look for the waitress. He said softly to the waitress and then she nodded. She looked at Leila before she left.

After a while, the waitress took two band-aids and said, “Miss, a man gives these to you!”

At that moment, Callum, Leila and Renee were stunned.

Leila looked in the direction of Vincent subconsciously and he looked at her with his sharp eyes. The blinking of his eyes made her tremble as if they were devil’s eyes. She did not feel grateful but disdainful.

“Which man?” Renee asked curiously.

“The man said that he is the most important person to miss!” The waitress smiled and left.

Leila took a deep breath and was stunned. She silently looked at Vincent who sat at the opposite site across a table.

As for him, his scorching eyes met her in the air. The shine refracted from his deep eyes made her feel that she was stabbed so she immediately moved away her eyes and lowered her head.

“Vincent, why don’t you eat?” The woman was confused.

“Let’s eat! My appetite today is extremely great!” There was Vincent’s voice from the next table.

Under Vincent’s sharp eyes, Leila almost did not eat anything during the meal and she kept silent most of the time. She only answered Callum and Renee’s questions and she kept a low profile all the way.

When she got off from work in the afternoon, she stepped out from the entrance of the office of Municipal Government. Meanwhile, a car passed by her side, and the window had been rolled down. Callum, who was in the car, said, “Leila, where are you going? I can fetch you!”

Leila was stunned and smiled politely then shook her head. “No, it’s okay, thank you. I have something else to do!”

“I can fetch you there!” Callum was still very friendly.

“It’s okay for real!” Leila shook her head.

She knew her identity, married.

She did not want to cause any trouble because she already felt uneasy recalling the night that she lost her virginity. When she thought of it, she could not bear from shivering.

“I will not do anything to you!” Callum did not know anything and whenever he looked at Leila’s eyes, he felt that they were gloomy. She was like a female main character in the innocent comic who had a pair of beautiful eyes and the others would come to care for her.
