A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 371

“Owen, who told you this?” Vincent lowered his voice and asked him gently.

Owen thought for a moment, “I heard it last time when Miyamoto took Mom away!”

“Owen, Miyamoto is your father and I’m just your uncle. I’m sorry, dear!” Vincent surprisingly looked clumsy and did not know how to comfort the child.

“I’ve known it already!” Owen was not too sad, “Vincent, can I live with you and Leila? You let Leila be my mother, okay?”

“Owen, you’re my son! You aren’t allowed to acknowledge a bad woman as your mother!” Pippa shrieked hysterically out of the blue. This had severely scared Owen and his small hands wrapped around Vincent’s neck.

“I don’t want to be here, I want to leave, and I want to go back to my grandmother’s place. I don’t want to be here…”

“Pippa, calm down!” Miyamoto stopped Pippa’s hysteria.

“No! He’s my son! My son!” She pointed at Leila, “She has stolen Vincent away and is even also wanting to steal my son! Leila, I hate you~!”

Leila froze for a moment, what did this have to do with her? It seemed that Pippa really needed to do some detailed introspection! However, she could understand her too. After all, her own son was not with her and this definitely dealt a big blow to her!

Vincent gently patted Owen’s back, “Owen, why do you refuse to stay with your mother?”

Owen kept silent. He lay on Vincent’s shoulder and looked very pitiful.

Miyamoto took a step forward and said in a deep voice, “Owen, you know I’m your father?”

Owen did not answer.

“Owen?” Vincent called him again, “Why?”

“Mom hit Owen, and Miyamoto hit Mom! When Miyamoto hit Mom, Mom hit Owen. Owen doesn’t want to stay with them…”

The child’s immature voice stabbed everyone’s heart like a steel knife!

Was this the crux of the problem?

Instantly, Miyamoto seemed to have aged a lot as he staggered back. He lowered his head and said gently after quite a while, “Owen, if Dad no longer hits Mom, are you willing to stay with Dad?”

Owen did not say anything. His small hands were embracing Vincent as if Vincent was his harbour. His attachment to Vincent made Leila felt heartbroken. This child was just longing for warmth but he was so unfortunate as his father and mother gave him too little love. He was so dependent on Vincent. Leila thought that this person must be kind as he could get a child’s complete trust!

Mr White was the kindest! What else did she need to suspect? That video should be her mother-in-law’s conspiracy, right?

Seeing that the child did not utter a word, Miyamoto’s hand trembled and he walked out of the door.

Pippa flopped on the bed and cried.

Leila could not bear it and she followed Miyamoto out. In the corridor, Miyamoto drew out a cigarette with trembling hands and lit it.

“Owen just needs time, Mr. Black. Don’t be too sad!”

Miyamoto smoked and his mood was slightly relieved. He raised his eyes, looked at Leila and slowly blurted out two words, “Thank you!”

Leila shook her head, “Although I don’t know what has happened between you guys, the child is innocent. I hope you can be more patient with the child! Give him some time, and he’ll definitely accept you!”

The grief-stricken face was immediately stained with sorrow, “Retribution, this is my retribution, right!” Dazzled, Miyamoto gazed at one end of the corner. The retribution had come, right!

Vincent walked out while carrying Owen in his arms. The door of the ward was opened. Leila subconsciously looked inside and heard Charles saying, “Pippa, let Owen stay with Vincent for a while. It will be fine after a while. You shouldn’t be too afraid!”

“He’s my child. I don’t want that!” She could not lose her child anymore. Otherwise, she would have nothing left.

“If you can’t accept the consequence of doing that, then you shouldn’t do it.” Charles only had one sentence. This made Pippa instantly lost all her strength and the only thing left was her crying sound.

Vincent put Owen down, “Owen, men should be brave. Dad and Mom love Owen, Dad and Mom can’t be changed, understand?”

“Why they can’t be changed?” Owen’s delicate features were tangled together. He raised his little face to look at Vincent who was squatting, “I want you to be my father!”

“Dear, if you say so, Miyamoto will be very sad and crestfallen. He’s your father, it’s my fault, I should have told you from the beginning!”

“Owen…” Miyamoto called in a low voice. His heart was filled with agony. Was what he did wrong?

Owen ignored Miyamoto’s words and walked to Leila instead. His small hand was timidly reached out to hold her hand, “Leila, will you detest Owen too? Owen will be very obedient. Owen wants to stay with Vincent. You don’t drive Owen away, okay? Owen won’t fight with the younger siblings you give birth to in getting Vincent’s love. Owen will be very obedient, very obedient!”

Leila suddenly felt grieved. She squatted down and hugged Owen’s tiny body, “I won’t detest Owen. I like Owen very much. I welcome Owen to our home anytime!”

“Thanks!” Owen hugged Leila, “Owen won’t make you angry!”

Miyamoto’s hands completely sagged. Vincent sighed and just said, “Give the child some time!”
