A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 376

For a long time he had remained on his back, and his breathing sounded regular. Had he fallen asleep?

She turned around to face him and saw that he was looking at her with an extremely complicated expression on his face. His dark pupils were strangely clear in the midst of darkness.

“Mr. White…” It was apparent to anyone how guilty that voice sounded, but he pretended no to notice that.

“Yes.” He was still staring at her.

“Just sleep.” She told him lightly.

Then, she turned around with her back facing him again. However, he stopped her this time. He sighed quietly as he hugged her, “Alright, let’s sleep!”

He thought that perhaps she was really tired. Although he really wanted it now, but he should respect a woman too!

“I just want to sleep with you in my arms. Can I do that?” His low voice burrowed into Leila’s ears.

The nervous, gentle and uncertain air created a huge hole in the wall which Leila had just created. She reached out her arms and wrapped it around his waist while snugging her face against his chest. She thought that maybe she could ask Julian tomorrow for the reason someone as masculine as Vincent ended up as a homosexual guy.

They remained tightly hugged together for a long time.

Soon, sleep came to them and it would be dawn soon…

Vincent had gone to work early in the morning, and last night Miyamoto had called to inform him that Owen and him had settled in a hotel. They were going to have fun out there today.

Leila descended the mountain too after Vincent had left.

After setting up an appointment with Julian, Julian sounded pleasantly surprised. When the two of them sat in the café, Julian simply smiled with a distant and nostalgic look in his eyes. “Leila, I know you will look for me!”

“You know that?” Leila raised her brows.

“Vincent has come to me earlier!” Julian smiled.

Leila couldn’t find any words for him at the moment.

“The one who has kidnapped you was indeed me!” Julian admitted. “You are really smart. I never expected you to discover the truth! That button is limited-edition, and there is no way I can get away with it. Haha… but now I feel really relieved! Do you want to know why I have kidnapped you?”

“I know that!” Leila replied.

“You know that?” Julian was startled this time.

Leila nodded seriously while she produced a photo from her bag. She placed it in front of him, “Is it because of this?”

Julian was still in a daze, “Why do you have this photograph?”

“Never mind about how I got it, I want to know what is going on!” Leila stared straight into his eyes.

Julian laughed as he asked another question of his own, “You don’ believe in Vincent?”

Leila felt a shock going through her when she heard this question. He was right. Did she believe in Mr. White? Was she able to fully believe in him?

Julian smiled as he watched her dazzled expression, “This is just a photo born of a bet after one of our beer sessions. That time, the members of the student council drank together, and the loser had to kiss a guy. Vincent happened to lose that time! Everyone teased him saying that he would never do that, but that pushed him to do that in the end!”

So that was what happened!

Leila suddenly felt her heart getting lighter!

After bidding goodbye to Julian, Leila left alone. As she walked on the streets, she revealed a smile born out of relief. It turned out that that was just a misunderstanding. She was spooked! That episode also served as a test for her relationship with Vincent.

After getting off the bus, she headed towards the villa. On her way back to the villa, a black car was stopped in the middle of the mountain roads. Two men emerged from the car and they were looking at Leila with a lecherous expression.

“What are you doing?” Leila exclaimed.

“We obviously want to get a taste of you!” One of the men said with a perverted face.

Leila opened her eyes as she felt a throbbing in her head. A devilish face appeared in front of her eyes.

Leila suddenly felt her heart sink. It was Charles!

At the moment, he was lazing by the bed and staring at her. He was dressed in a black casual wear which revealed his chest and its chiseled muscles. His dark pupils were half-concealing his inquisitive glance.

“Finally awake?” Charles bent towards Leila with an ambiguous smile on his lips.

Leila gaped at him with a startled expression as she struggled to sit up. In an instant, an overwhelming sense of dizziness swept over her which caused her to collapse onto the bed. “You—Where am I now?”

“A condo unit I have just rented!” An evil smile appeared at Charles’s lips, and there was a dangerous look in his eyes.
