A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 275

Vincent was at a loss. Did he say anything wrong? Or was she just taking advantage of his weakness? How could she ignore his gift like that? Damn, was he just too gentle with her which then gave her the impression she could treat him this way?

Suddenly feeling irritated, Vincent lit a cigarette and breathed out some white smoke. He thought this would calm him down but instead, it made him more irritated, so he stood up suddenly and walked out.

When he reached the door, he heard the sound of slamming a door which made him then walk quickly towards the guest room. He wanted to push the door to open it. However, his hand stopped when he reached the door, and he thought what was he doing?

To ingratiate himself with her?

Why should he?

He pursed his lips and his face turned gloomy. He then turned around and walked towards the study.

As soon as Leila had entered the room, she buried her body inside her blanket, feeling upset. What was wrong with her?

That was the first time he had given her a gift, and it was such a beautiful laptop that she had always dreamed of, but she rejected it. However, sometimes a person’s self-respect and pride were the most important things.

In the morning.

Leila woke up early in the morning and opened her door at the same time that the master bedroom door was opened.

In the corridor, the two of them were taken aback when they saw each other.

Vincent snorted coldly. Obviously, he was still angry.

Leila was quite nervous. She said quietly, “Good morning!”

His expression was sharp with his lips tight together, and as he glanced intensely at her he walked over to her with a steady pace.

Leila felt a little nervous and didn’t know what to say so she just stood frozen by the door. As she peeked at him cautiously, she saw that he was frowning and looking quite sad.

However, she then heard his low and deep voice from above her that said, “I asked someone to throw the computer at your school away overnight.”

Humph!

She didn’t need this one anymore.

“What?” Leila’s eyes opened wide in surprise.

“It was thrown away.” He said, seemingly quite proud. “Yesterday.”

“You, how could you do that?” She was finding it hard to believe and began to tremble all over. How could he be so impudent like this? “But that was mine, how could you do that?”

Leila pushed him strongly and ran away. She was still wondering how could he do that?

“Hey! Where are you going?” Vincent didn’t expect that she would run away like this, so he chased after her.

But Leila kept on running while Vincent kept on chasing after her. “Where are you going?”

“It has nothing to do with you, I’m going to get my computer back, I mean, what right did you have to do that to my computer?” She said while running, her voice choked with sobs.

“Everything of yours is mine, including your computer.” He really didn’t understand, he had kindly replaced it with a new one but she didn’t seem to appreciate this and this made him furious.

But, Leila just kept on running. She didn’t even get her purse or phone. She only had one thought in her mind which was to rush back to school and get her computer back. Even if she didn’t know if it was even possible to get it back.

She really could not accept Vincent’s action. Why did he think he can simply throw away her things? The computer was valuable to her. Growing up she didn’t have many things that belonged to her, and this computer was something she had after working hard for a long time.

Vincent watched her hurriedly running out of the front door and really wondered why was she so angry this early in the morning.

So, he went back to his villa and took his car key, and got in the car to chase after her. However, he then thought about how crazy he was to actually chase after her.

The car stopped about 50 metres ahead of her. Leila was still running and she was startled by the car which stopped suddenly, but Vincent then got out and walked over to her with a blank expression. “Why are you acting so crazy? What are you trying to do so early in the morning?”

Leila didn’t say anything but just bit her lip as she walked past him.

She told herself that she must restrain herself and just focus on finding her computer. This computer was the most important possession because it contained very important memories for her, such as her photos, papers, and her four-year university memories. She even kept her diary inside the computer, so for her, it was very important and valuable.

But, he decided to throw it away and she couldn’t understand how he could do that?

“Damn it!” Vincent cursed in a low voice, “Where are you going, I can take you!”

“No need, I just want my computer back,” she said sadly.

“But it’s already been thrown away, it was moved long ago from now.” He yelled out.

“I want to get it back!” She yelled back and continued to run.

However, he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the car. He put her inside. “Foolish girl, I have never seen you act so stupidly before!”

Yes, she was foolish!

She was foolish to be threatened by him into this marriage that had been arranged too quickly.

She wanted to open the car door but he locked it. He wasn’t in a hurry to drive back so instead, he lit a cigarette which then made the car smell of tobacco which was a bit suffocating.
