A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 373

“Yes!” Owen immediately responded.

“I still have things to do and I am afraid that I am unable to join you all!” Leila immediately refused as she didn’t want to have any interaction with Charles.

“You’re such a wet blanket!” Charles shrugged his shoulders.

Owen was also a little bit disappointed.

Leila said again, “I am going to study first. Owen, if you’re hungry, ask Eira to cook something for you to eat. I am going up!”

After saying that, without waiting for them to answer, she ran upstairs. On the stairs, she heard Owen asking Charles something.

“Charles, do you think that Leila doesn’t like me?” Owen’s voice suddenly became lower.

Leila suddenly felt bad for the child as he is sensitive about other people’s feelings. He was afraid that there was someone who did not like him. Leila stopped on the stairs and heard Charles saying, “How can it be? Darling, you are thinking nonsense again. Everyone likes Owen, and you shouldn’t be so sentimental, okay?”

On the stairs, Leila turned around after all, “Owen, let’s go upstairs to watch cartoons, okay? I have a lot of cartoons on my laptop!”

“Yes!” Owen immediately became happy. He ran up the stairs and held Leila’s hand.

His hand was very small, but it was very warm in Leila’s hand. The strange feeling made her heart feel warm. The child was so naive.

The expression of Charles was a bit complicated, and he soon turned around to watch the financial news on the TV again.

In the study.

Leila opened her laptop. Both of them sat on the sofa with the laptop on her knee, while Owen leaned against her.

Leila opened the cartoon and let him watch. Looking down at his handsome face, Leila found that his child inherited the good genes of his parents. He was good-looking and had long eyelashes. His large eyes flashed as if they could speak.

“Owen, you…” Leila hesitated, not knowing how to communicate with the child about his parents. She wanted to persuade the child to have a better relationship with Miyamoto.

“Do you have something to say?” Owen lifted his little face and looked at her.

“Yes.” Leila nodded.

“Then just say it, don’t stammer. Charles said, stammering is not good, since it means that there is something fishy.”

“Oh!” Leila froze and smiled, “Owen, actually your parents love you very much!”

Once he heard the word ‘parents’, he lowered her little face and shook her head.

“Leila you don’t understand, Mummy doesn’t like me. I know it actually!”

“Why?”

“Mum told me before, she doesn’t like me, Miyamoto… If he likes me, why isn’t he taking me home? They all don’t like me…”

Is it? Leila also wants to know! All these years, why didn’t Miyamoto come to find Owen? Looking at the child’s lost face like this, Leila’s face turned gloomy. Both Pippa and Miyamoto did not play their roles as parents well!

In the evening, Miyamoto came.

He bought many toys. Leila led Owen downstairs and did not see Charles.

Owen stood beside Leila. Miyamoto looked a bit nervous and he was trembling at the moment he saw Owen.

“Owen!” Miyamoto held a toy car in his hand. He clumsily put the car in the yard. The muscles in his face looked tautened. “This is a gift from Daddy. Come and look at it, okay?”

Obviously, Owen was attracted when he saw the toy, but he just grabbed Leila’s hand. Leila could feel the child’s fear of his father, and she squatted down and encouraged him, “Owen, let’s go to see the toy together, okay?”

The child was after all a child and he was attracted by the toy and nodded blushingly. “Okay!”

Miyamoto instantly smiled and immediately put the remote control of the toy car in Owen’s hand.

In a short time, Owen was enjoying playing with the toy car. He even forgot to ask Leila to accompany him. He controlled the car running all over the yard, smiling happily.

“Treating children needs some patience!” Leila said softly. “Don’t be too nervous, Mr. Black. This is already a good start as he is willing to accept your toys. It means that he still desires to get your love!”

“Thanks!” Miyamoto looked at his son, showing his pride as a father in his eyes.

“Owen has doubts in his heart as he doesn’t know why you always don’t want to be with him. I think after the doubts in his mind are resolved then he can be closer to you!”

Hearing her words, Miyamoto’s handsome face looked hurt.

His silence made Leila feel guilty. She lowered her head and said softly, “I’m sorry, I think you must also have your reason.”

“No. This is my fault. I thought Vincent was the child’s father!” Miyamoto said in a low male voice.

Leila bit her lips and raised her eyes. She asked, “Was it later confirmed that Vincent was not his father?”

“Yes!” Miyamoto expression softened a bit and he nodded his head. “Yes, I always thought Vincent was Owen’s father as Pippa always said so!”

Leila was slightly stunned and it was a bit hard for her to believe his sentence. Pippa was so annoying. How could she not tell her son who his father was? Was Vincent the only one that had sex with her?

Miyamoto gazed at Leila who was nervous and showing doubts on her little face. She bit her lips and looked tangled. Miyamoto withdrew his gaze from Leila and stopped looking at her. He said softly, “Mrs. White, don’t worry. Pippa and Vincent never had sex before. Their relationship is pure as Vincent doesn’t like her.”

Leila was stunned while Miyamoto smiled faintly, “It’s just Pippa’s wishful thinking!”
