A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 259

The second Vincent left, Pippa looked at Leila and seemed hesitant to speak. After a few seconds, she said “You’re the woman that Vincent brought to please me, so I brought you this dress. Do you have any idea why he won’t let you wear this yellow gown tonight?”

A hint of bitterness flashed across her eyes, but Leila managed to suppress it.

From Pippa’s tone, Leila felt as though she was nothing but a cheap servant next to Vincent, who was like a king. God knows she didn’t want to be with Vincent either. Leila replied, “Can I leave now?”

Pippa was slightly taken by surprise; she didn’t expect Leila would talk to herself in such a disdainful manner. For a woman who always held herself in high regards, Pippa suddenly laughed. “Hah! You’ve got spirit; I like that! You’re young, but you’ve got spirit. That’s cool!”

Leila was surprised herself. For some reason, her face quickly changed colors, like a chameleon.

She liked it? Leila smiled slightly. She didn’t need Pippa to like anything. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life, with her family happy. Then it’d all be OK.

“Vincent didn’t let you wear this yellow gown because he didn’t expect that you looked so good in it. He was surprised, and didn’t want to let other men see this beautiful side of you. He’s quite bossy, you know? This black dress is also quite luxurious, and you won’t be the focus of the crowd, so it suits you better. Plus, its matching bag, leggings, and shoes are all prepared too. Go on, take it!” Pippa said a mouthful that made Leila’s mouth slightly agape.

“What, don’t you believe me?” Pippa said.

Leila laughed at herself, “Ms. Murray, you misunderstood me. Mr. White doesn’t care what I wear! Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I’m leaving now!”

She picked up dress and turned to leave. Was there any woman Vincent actually cared about? Probably not!

“Hold on!” Pippa called out again.

Leila turned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Vincent’s gone through a lot to get to where he is today. Lately, he’s been in a bad mood. I know it’s not easy being his woman, but I hope you can bear with him! Don’t let him get angry! He’s been in a bad mood, but he’s quite tired too.”

Leila smiled; bear with him? Hasn’t she bore with him enough yet? But what caused him to be so tired?

And what right did Pippa have to tell her all this?

Leila didn’t understand the meaning behind Pippa’s words, but she could tell that the relationship between Pippa and Vincent was not like that of a couple, but more like old friends. She said nothing, turned around, and headed out.

Pippa looked on as Leila left, and she was deep in thought.

It didn’t matter what kind of relationship the two of them had.

From afar, Leila saw Vincent’s figure standing beside his Bugatti, smoking. There seemed to be a deep sadness in his eyes as his gaze looked at the night sky. Who knew what he was pondering.

It’s this kind of cold attitude that drove strangers away.

The clouds of smoke hovered around his face, which made his expression look even more moody. The air about him seemed incredibly chilly. As Leila walked over toward him, Vincent’s eyes narrowed.

“Plop” with a soft sound, he threw the cigarette to the ground, and put it out with his foot.

Leila couldn’t tell what was wrong, but she could feel that there was something on his mind.

Vincent didn’t say anything as he opened the car door for her with a sulky face. Leila quickly got in, then Vincent hurriedly got into the car, stepped on the gas pedal, and sped away.

Vincent brought her again to his personal suite in the hotel.

The second they entered, he began to make calls and left Leila alone. Leila hung the dress on a coat hanger and sat on the sofa. Pretty soon, she fell asleep.

These days, she had been living alone in the villa. With its large rooms, it was extremely quiet, which frightened her at times. She didn’t sleep well each night, as if she always worried about something.

Vincent was on the phone for at least half an hour. Once he hung up, he was surprised to find out that Leila had fallen asleep. He squinted in dissatisfaction and headed over to the sofa with an air of danger about him, ready to forcefully wake her up.

But the second he saw her beautiful face as she slept, he suddenly stopped.

She looked incredibly cute as she slept. She had long eyelashes and slightly pursed lips, but there seemed to be traces of wrinkles on her forehead, as if she was deep in worry. She has worries?!

Vincent’s eyes flashed. He already felt irritated, so he suddenly bit down hard on her lips.

“Ah-” Leila was awakened by the pain and let out a small yelp. As she came about her senses, her sight focused and saw Vincent’s handsome face before her. She then lamented again at her situation.

Vincent let her lips go, but his face was still inches away from hers. Leila’s face could feel his breath as he exhaled.

“Mr. White-“ Leila placed a small hand on his tie, her eyes wide open.

Vincent looked down at her and said in a prideful tone, “Who said you can fall asleep?”
