A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 367

A hint of disappointment spread across Arthur’s face. As long as he could see Leila happy, he’d feel much more at ease.

After the meal, as Vincent took Leila and left, Arthur naturally sent Renee home.

Inside the car, Renee asked, “Arthur, do you like Leila?”

Arthur was caught by surprise, “Renee, you really know just what to say, don't you!”

“If you like her, you like her; if you don’t, then you don’t. What’s gonna possibly happen if you keep it a secret? Too bad for Leila. If she’s with you, she’d probably be much happier than with Vincent.” Renee noted the disappointment in Arthur’s eyes when he saw how Vincent and Leila were at the dining table.

“Marriage is like a pair of shoes; it may look good, but you only know if it fits you well when it’s on your feet. To outsiders, it might not look like a fit, but only those wearing it will know!” Arthur let out a smirk. “Got a smoke?”

“Go ahead and smoke. It’s your car!” Renee smiled. “You’re right; let’s hope Leila will be happy! Alright, handsome, drop me off at work, thanks! Great knowing you!”

“The pleasure’s mine!” Arthur’s eyebrows flicked and he smiled at her.

He parked the car in front of the city hall to let her out.

Arthur stepped out the car as well and stood by the sidewalk.

“Bye!” Renee was about to leave.

Suddenly, he called out to her, “Hey!”

Renee turned her head around, “What is it?”

“Could I trouble you for a favor?” He said with a smile.

Renee wrinkled her forehead, then walked over. “Let’s hear it. Don’t worry, big sis loves to help out!”

“Who’re you referring to as big sis, little girl!”

“Come now, out with it!”

“When I’m not around, if Leila meets any trouble she can’t handle, and I mean trouble which even Vincent can’t handle, give me a call, alright?”

“You must really love Leila!” Renee felt a bit moved.

Arthur smiled drily, but a glint of sorrow passed by his eyes. “I just want her to be happy!”

“Alright!” Renee nodded her head, and earnestly aid, “You’re a good man, Arthur; karma will be good to you. It’s too bad Leila didn’t pick you!”

“Hahaha, maybe you should tell Leila that!” Arthur forced a large smile, but there was no hiding his sorrow underneath.

Renee shook her head. “You’re much better than Vincent!”

“That’s because you haven’t seen my crazy side from back in the days, hahaha…”

“Were you as crazy as him?” Renee wrinkled her forehead. “Could any man be more of a playboy than him?”

Renee pondered. As she turned around, she saw Callum at the front entrance, with a stern expression. It was as though he emanated a cold aura about him.

Callum’s silver sweatshirt, stern face, and jet black hair actually made him look quite cool. He didn’t blink at all as he stared on from afar at Renee. No, not at her, but at her and Arthur.

Renee looked at him in a puzzled manner. A few feet away from Arthur, Renee turned around and pretended to remain calm, “Oh, that guy? Don’t know him!”

Arthur raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”

“Don’t believe me?” Renee said with a hint of upset.

“I don’t, not one bit; the way he’s looking at me now, it’s as though he’s gonna kill me! He’s probably mistaken, thinking you and I are… Haha, wanna do a little test?” Arthur blinked, and took a step closer to Renee.

Renee blinked in confusion, “What test?”

Arthur reached out and hooked her by the waist, then brought her closer into his arms. “Just a game, girl! Look, here he comes now!”

Callum actually began to walk over, filled with a deadly aura.

Arthur let go, and laughed in a devious manner, “Girl, he’s into you; I’m off now!”

“What!” Renee pouted; at that moment, she thought he was going to kiss her! This Arthur was quite a character! Renee laughed and shook her head, “Take care, Arthur!”

Arthur jumped into his car and rolled down the window. When he saw Callum was within inches behind Renee, he playfully called out, “Alright dear, don’t miss me too much! Give me a call when you have time, and call me when you get to New York!”

“I will!” Renee nodded.

He sped off and disappeared into the street-filled cars.

Renee turned around, and it was as though she ran into a wall, “Ah-”
