A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 337

Not knowing whether she should cry or laugh, Leila watched the kid crouch behind the boulder and call his mother in secret. He was clever. It turned out that they had kept in touch with each other without telling Reggie. Mind-blowing.

As Oscar silently hung up the phone, he turned off the phone and put it back in the pocket. He turned around and suddenly saw Leila. All of sudden, he opened his mouth. “Leila, you eavesdrop on Oscar talking!”

“I don’t do it on purpose!” Leila laughed a little and walked to him. She squatted down to gaze on him directly. “I’m wrong, but I’m not doing it on purpose!”

Oscar thought a little and nodded like a gentleman. “I forgive you but you should keep it as a secret. You shouldn’t let my father know about this!”

“Why?”

“Because Mummy doesn’t want Daddy to know!”

“But your Daddy is feeling anxious!”

“Mummy said that it has to wait until my Daddy feels really really really anxious then she will come back, otherwise she will still lose her face and have no rights in the family if she comes back now!”

Leila was surprised. A sense of helplessness passed by her soft and gentle face. It turned out that the child was helping his mother and father. She nodded and promised sincerely, “Okay, I will not say a single word!”

“I believe in you!” Oscar smiled a little.

“Leila, Oscar! Where are you? Come over and help!”

The dining table was set up by Leila and Rosa. The tablecloth was placed on a wooden round table. The fresh air was blended with the fresh and tempting smell of the food.

As she turned around, through the faint light of the fire, Vincent’s tall figure made her sigh. God was so loving to him, he had such a handsome face and yet he was given such a tall figure.

Vincent turned around the grill frame on top of the charcoal that were made of pine wood and in the meanwhile, he kept applying spices to the mutton.

Reggie was smoking besides. While he was smoking, he kept commanding, “You have not applied the spices on this side. Yes, this side! That side too!”

Vincent suddenly became impatient, frowned and sprinkled a handful of salt, “Don’t keep telling me what to do. Perhaps, you can come over to grill and I will command you?”

“That’s alright. I have said nothing!” Reggie wiped his nose and smiled at Leila who was not far away. He said, “Leila, it’s better that you come and help. It’s not easy to get along with Vincent. How can you deal with him!”

Leila sighed. Yes, Vincent had a big temper. She smiled and walked over. When she saw that Vincent was showing an annoyed face while his forehead was full of sweats, she immediately knew why he was so angry. It was already close to the summer while they were having a barbecue. It was very hot and there was sweat on the forehead. She smiled gently and took out her handkerchief to wipe the sweats on his forehead. “Do you need my help?”

Vincent was stunned by her gentle action. He was about to be roasted to death, and it was very hot. He worked so hard to grill some meats for everyone to eat.

It was very depressing to be commanded to do this and that by Reggie who was not doing anything at all.

He pressed on his lips as he was showing how annoyed he was. Surprisingly, his handsome face was showing some sense of childishness. He stood still and allowed Leila to wipe his sweats but he did not forget to flip over to grill the meat. After she was done wiping his sweats, he started to be gentle and took a deep gaze at Leila without saying anything.

Leila was on the side, she then picked up the brush, “Vincent, I will brush the meat, you can move back a little. You are only responsible for turning the grill frame over and making sure that the meat is not overcooked.”

She also moved a chair for Vincent to sit back to prevent the heat from the barbecue.

Vincent looked back at the table in the night, and there was completely no one. He did not know where Reggie and Oscar were.

After Leila spread the spices evenly on the mutton, she saw the sweats on Vincent’s forehead and helped him to wipe again. She asked, “Is it very hot? You’re sweating too much!”

Vincent frowned. He suddenly grabbed and pulled her into his arm. Leila can’t dodge on time as she was held and kissed wildly by him for a while. She was really unable to continue and gently begged for mercy. “Vincent, the meat is overcooked!”

Only then did Vincent let her go, and Leila was flushed and her forehead started to sweat.

Vincent stared at her with a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. He arrogantly pulled Leila’s hand and pressed a kiss before letting it go. Such a gentle and intimate move made Leila heartbeat fast. She then turned her face away in panic.

For a moment, there was only the crackling sound of the charcoal fire.

Leila brushed another round of spices, and the smell of the barbecue became more and more tempting.

Vincent sat on the chair, lit a cigarette and took a puff slowly.

Leila turned around and looked at him, she was about to say something but stopped.

But surprisingly, Vincent knew what she was thinking. “Just say it if you have something to say.”

Leila looked at the cigarette in his hand and said gently, “Can’t you smoke less?”

Vincent was startled a little as he held the cigarette tightly. He continued to take another round of puff and stared at her attentively, “Are you trying to control me?”

Leila knew that he had misunderstood something and shook her head. “I don’t want to control you but smoking is bad for your health, so try to smoke as little as possible!”

“Why should I listen to you?” Vincent asked back without knowing what kind of tone he was using.

Leila was suddenly muffled. She felt awkward and replied gently, “Cigarettes contain a lot of harmful substances which are not good for your health. If you smoke for a long time, it will make you feel sick...”
