A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 260

As she struggled, Leila caught glimpse of his neck again. The image of the red bite mark was burned into her eyes.

“Don’t forget that you are my wife!”

Leila was stunned after hearing what he yelled. Her mind went blank. He called her his wife, but did he ever treat her as his wife?

She kept looking at the bite mark around his neck. Her clear and big eyes were wide open as she stared at it blankly. Her eyes were filled with puzzlement and confusion, and she was slightly upset.

Vincent was annoyed seeing the weird expression in her eyes, he frowned and said, “What are you looking at?”

He lowered his head, but he couldn’t see the bite mark.

Leila’s body trembled. Suddenly, her eyes met Vincent’s. She said, “Do you still want a massage?”

She tried her best to speak calmly, but her voice still trembled.

Vincent stared into her eyes and realized that the expression in her eyes seemed tremendously melancholic. At that moment, his pupils constricted, and he stared at her blankly. He felt a surge of annoyance deep inside. He then shrugged her off, turned around and lied on his stomach.

He actually let her go. He was surprised by his actions, “Of course I want a massage!”

Leila took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief. She got up and kneeled next to him. She caressed his wide back with her small hand and massaged him with a comfortable strength. Vincent closed his eyes, hiding the tiredness in his eyes.

“Massage me for one hour non-stop, okay?”

Leila tensed up. This was exploitation! She felt very uncomfortable being ordered by him like that, but she was willing to do this compared to sleeping with him.

If they were in love with each other, she wouldn’t even frown if he asked her to massage him for an hour, maybe she would even do it for 10 hours. But the problem was that they weren’t a couple who were madly in love with each other, and he wasn’t the man he used to be!

If there was no love, it could only be plain exploitation.

“Harder, did you not eat?”

“Ugh!”

“It hurts! Are you trying to kill me?”

“Is this okay?”

“Harder! No! Softer! Yes, like that. It’s barely okay. You have to practice more, you idiotic, stupid woman!”

“Why marry me if you think I’m stupid?” She couldn’t help but mutter.

“Do you want to die?”

There was a banquet at night.

Leila put on a modest black evening dress. Vincent was still sleeping when she got a call from Renee. Vincent slept for 2 whole hours as she massaged him.

Leila went to change after the phone call. She was all dressed and saw that Vincent was still sleeping. She took out the stuff in her handbag and put in into a black glossy clutch that Pippa gave her. She then walked out of the room quietly.

Vincent opened his eyes the moment the door closed. He got up and went into the bathroom. Only then he realized that there was a bite mark on his neck. His eyes flickered. Leila was staring at his neck for so long, she had to be staring at the bite mark.

At the banquet.

“Leila, wow! You’re so pretty! I told you that a long dress will show off your figure nicely. The men’s nose will start bleeding just by looking at your curves!” said Renee excitedly when she saw Leila.

Leila smiled. She thought that black didn’t suit her, but Vincent didn’t want her to wear the beige-yellowish dress and she didn’t want to make him upset. By not upsetting him, her life would also be a whole lot easier.

She looked at Renee. Renee was wearing a long blue dress and it was eye-catching as well, “Your dress is really pretty too!”

“Ha! I’m here to catch me a rich husband, of course I have to stand out!” said Renee as she glanced at Leila.

“Catch a rich husband?”

“Yeah! Everyone here is business elites. Even though we are working for the government, our salaries are peanuts when compared to what those business elites are earning. We won’t be able to save up much even if we work our whole life. My salary is not even enough for me to buy myself the make-up products I want! I’m not like you, you have a rich husband already!”

“I think the salary is okay, I’m not into make-up though!” Leila smiled.

“Yeah, you really don’t have any make-up on. It’s so annoying that you have a naturally flawless face. Hey, Leila. You should put your hair up. I think it will look better if you tie it up. Come over, I’ll help you!”

“There’s no need!”

“Come on, your hairstyle doesn’t match your dress!”

Leila was pulled to a corner and Renee took some black hairpins out of her clutch. Leila’s hair was tied up with a black hairpin with rhinestones on it and the stray hair was secured with bobby pins. Leila’s dainty nape was now perfectly exposed.

Renee clapped her hand happily, “Yes! It’s wonderful like this. I bet Vincent would like it! Oh, he’s here!”
