A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 247

“Let’s go, I will be more relieved by sending you back!”

Leila’s small hand clutching her phone but she dared not to call Vincent as she was really afraid of his anger.

Julian Gordon got off the car before he took care of Leila getting off when both of them reached the villa. “Make sure you don't forget to take anti-inflammatory medicine, even though it's a small wound, you still need to take some antibiotics!”

“Thank you for sending me back!” Leila nodded her head.

“Good night!” Julian waved his hand and his eyes purposely looking into the direction of the villa before he got into the car.

Standing at the door where the lights in the villa’s lobby were on, Leila took a deep breath, sensing that there would be something happening to her, yet, she still pushed the door open and walked in.

There was a smell of tobacco and immediately, she felt an oppressive pressure around her which was even more depressing.

Leila subconsciously looked at the sofa where Vincent in his casual white top and beige trousers sitting there with a lazy posture. Yet, he was holding a cigarette between his long fingers while looking at her with his cold and sharp eyes.

Lowering her head to cover her wound on her forehead, she called out nervously, “Mr White!”

“Where have you been?!” Vincent lifted his head and asked in a cold voice.

“Working over... overtime!”

“Is lying fun, Leila?” Vincent stood up immediately and gazed coldly at the woman who was standing at the entrance of the villa and dared not to come over.

“I’m sorry!” She could only apologize.

“Did you go to meet your adulterer?”

“No!” Biting her lips, she then said softly, “I don’t have such a hobby!”

“Don’t you? Then who did you give your first night to?” His tone was clearly unpleasant.

For Vincent, he couldn’t understand the woman in front of him. If she was not an easy woman, why did she seem innocent as looking from her pure and clear eyes?

If not, he had checked that she was a virgin before but she lost her hymen after she had returned from a business trip and she seemed calmer than him when being questioned.

Was it possible that she can be passionate with men night after night without having the most basic shame as a woman?

Vincent didn’t speak anything but Leila subconsciously looked at him who showed a cold face with a cold smile, and yet, she could sense the anger around him and it looked like that he was going to burst in his anger.

“Do you want supper? I’ll cook for you!” Not wanting to argue, she turned and walked towards the kitchen but her foot was twisted and she was not walking well, yet, she gritted her teeth and straightened her back to make her stride smoother to walk into the kitchen.

She didn’t want to tell him that she had a car accident today because she knew even if she did, he might not care for her.

“I ask you again, where have you been?” He obviously refused to stop questioning.

Leila gritted her teeth and paused, “Shopping!”

Didn’t he see her with Renee Byrne?

“Didn’t you work overtime?”

“I go shopping after working overtime!” She didn’t turn around.

“Leila, the office building of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office is dark, may I ask where do you work overtime?”

“How do you know? Are you investigating me?” Leila was stunned then turned around and looked at him. Did he go to the office?

“Do you think you are worthy of my investigation?” His tone was full of disdain, he smoked and exhaled a white circle, “Leila, you are my wife and do remember of your status, don’t shame on me and Brian Hunter!”

His word sounded unintentional but threatful in fact.

His words were like a steel needle stuck inside her heart that was painful enough, and after a while, she only nodded her head quietly.

“I haven’t eaten my dinner yet!” Vincent suddenly spoke.

Leila was surprised and hurriedly said, “Alright! I’ll cook the dinner for you right now!”

Vincent’s dark eyes flashed and he said in a cold voice, “Next time, when I call you, answer it in three seconds and don’t turn it off! Come home within half an hour when you get the call!”

“Yes.” Leila answered softly.

“Answer it!”

“Got it! I will answer it in three seconds!”

She then forced up a smile and walked into the kitchen to get the vegetables from the fridge. Luckily, she had prepared some ingredients as there were still some vegetables which she bought yesterday.

She picked, washed and cut the vegetables skillfully, followed by unscrewing the gas stove and pouring the oil.

Watching the oil temperature rising nervously, she sighed at the bottom of her heart and told herself, “Leila, you can do it, fighting!”

Putting in the vegetables, she then took the spatula and stir-frying.

Vincent saw her unusually quiet today. He then smoked on the sofa while watching her through the glass. At the moment when she turned around, he saw the gauze on her forehead which was hidden under her forehead, he frowned and immediately, he put out the butt of his cigarette, standing up and walking towards the kitchen.

Leila was concentrating on stir-frying and didn’t notice that Vincent had appeared at the door. By the time when she turned around to take the plate after turning off the fire, she found him standing in front of her.
