A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 369

Within the most devoted one minute, his inner world was reflected. He did it, and therefore that moment after he asked, he went into a sluggish state. After that, he regained back his intellect and ability to think.

“Lexi.”

“I’m going to shower.” Leila lifted her eyes and then she raised her lips with a faint smile. She quickly took the bedsheet on her and rushed towards the bathroom.

He did not finish his words and they were swallowed in his stomach just like this. Vincent looked at the closed bathroom door. Her mood was fluctuating, and the moment she spoke, he was just reminiscing about the incident. It was indeed Charles.

Charles was his mother’s assistant. It was his mother’s idea to send Charles to seduce Macey, and it was for him to see what kind of woman Macey was. Although he did not intervene but how could he explain to her? Somehow, even if it was not his idea, it was his mother who had asked someone else to do it and therefore he can’t get away with it!

But Macey was really tempted!

Charles succeeded, and that video was shoot after they were drunk. But what happened to her and Charles before drinking?

Vincent did not want to reminisce because this kind of relationship would hurt a man’s dignity. Since Macey was the only girlfriend that he officially introduced at home!

As Leila immersed her whole body in the hot water, she smiled bitterly. The moments in life kept appearing in front of her eyes.

Vincent’s smile had already infiltrated her heart virtually. She just wanted to love him and accompanied with him. She wanted to laugh and worry with him, also to accompany with him for life.

But why was it so difficult?

It was her who kept struggling or did they need to go through more tests?

Leila took a deep breath and wiped the tears away on her face.

It was love, at least she was his wife now. Her elder sister’s video did not matter anymore as it was in the past.

She would try her best to fall in love one more time. If Vincent really did not love her, she would give up completely. But today when he saw her in the rain, he ran over to pick her up and brought her back regardless of everything. He drove the car up to 200 miles per hour. He was nervous and worried that she would catch a cold from the rain. Did he not just care for her?

Was there any conspirator who cared so much about someone he was using?

No matter what, she still decided to take the chance to give it a try, and continued to love him!

After her mind was set, Leila put up a smile at ease. In fact, Vincent was really a good man. He even prepared a hot water bath for her. There was no need to miss this moment in vain. Holding back of something was never her character so she had to work hard to make Vincent to fall in love with her.

After half an hour.

“Ah, why are you still here?” As she was wiping her wet long hair with her single hand, Leila stood at the bathroom door. She was startled when she saw Vincent standing at the bathroom door, he did not even take out his wet clothes.

“Lexi!” Vincent called her in a lower voice.

“Go take a shower!” Leila pushed him into the bathroom then she brushed the tub and filled up the water for him. “Hurry up and take a shower!”

Vincent stared at Leila busy around, he suddenly smiled and walked gently towards her. He hugged Leila into his arms without any warning. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear. “Lexi, I am not using you anymore. You’re just my wife.”

It seemed like a big lightning from the sky, Leila was confused and stood on the spot without moving at all. What did he mean? A promise?

No matter what, it was great if she was not being used! As for the rest, she did not think too much about it.

Both did not talk about Macey, and everything seemed to be back to normal. They ate and slept together. He even brought her to the company and she even brought him to the school to register for graduation.

Theodore left without saying goodbye to Leila.

Arthur left too! Leila and Vincent went to send him off. Before Arthur left, he spoke to Leila in private and said, “Leila, be brave a little, and don’t hesitate! Only the brave ones deserve happiness!”

She had resigned from the Overseas Chinese Affair Office! Leila went to the Taekwondo Association to continue practicing taekwondo, but the coach was changed from Arthur to Vincent. He eventually trained her himself.

Leila went all out to prepare for the police examination.

“You want to go for the police examination?” Vincent was stunned when he heard about this news.

“Yes!” Leila was reading some materials in the study room. She raised her head and nodded. “I want to be a police officer!”

His eyes darkened, Vincent frowned and said, “No! A girl cannot be a police officer!”

“I like this job!”

“The job is too dangerous, and it’s not suitable for a girl!” Vincent tried to restate the facts.

“Mr. White!” Leila shouted in a low voice. She stood up and walked to his desk. She looked at him pitifully. “But I do like to be a police officer!”

The corner of Vincent’s lips twitched and he smiled unexpectedly, “Not bad, you use the word ‘like’ as an excuse. Do you think that I don’t know what your actual purpose is?!”

“What do you know?” Leila felt a little uneasy, and there was a strong uneasiness spreading in her heart. It was getting bigger and bigger that she could not control it...

“You want to investigate about the cause of my father’s death, and you want to know the truth in that year. I guess this is your intention of wanting to work in the police station? Is it to prove your father’s innocence?”

“How do you know about it? Leila was startled. How did he see through her mind easily?

Vincent put up a thought-provoking smile, “Lexi, you can’t find it! I’ve tried! You can’t!”

“No! I can find it!” Leila immediately defended herself.

Vincent stretched out his big hand and turned Leila around towards the window to face the world outside. It was dark outside the window.

Leila was confused as she looked at the night sky. She could not see the unbroken chain of peak except for some occasional lights. Overall, it was a just darkness.

Vincent’s muscular body wrapped around her slender waist. His dangerous aura lingered around her fair white ears which formed a warm vortex. “Lexi, look outside the window, what do you see?”

Leila was startled for a while, “Darkness!”

“In this endless darkness, you could only see a glimpse of light. No matter how hard you work, you could only see a small side, and if it’s further then you can’t see it anymore!”
