A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 384

This little liar looked pretty adorable when she was studying seriously. Vincent’s dark eyes flickered with hints of gentleness and bliss in them, but he also felt sorry for her. She was busy with Renee’s matter recently and looked exhausted.

As he was lost in thoughts, his phone rang. It was Charles. Vincent grabbed his phone and walked towards the other side of the room, “What’s up?”

“It’s boss’ birthday in two weeks, are you coming back to Tokyo?” said Charles in a playful tone of voice. “I also heard that Pippa went back! You better be careful!”

“What? What do you mean by be careful?” asked Vincent in a low tone of voice. Charles called and mentioned this to him explicitly, but what was he trying to say?

“Nora is going to introduce you to a beautiful girl! After the thing with Pippa, Nora doesn’t plan to give her to you anymore. She found you a Japanese lady instead.”

Charles said casually with a complicated look in his eyes. His boss forced Vincent to leave Leila but he admired Leila’s guts. He then said, “Just be prepared!”

“I’m not going to Japan!” Vincent decided quickly, “It’s her birthday, you celebrate it with her!”

Vincent hung up and leaned against the wall. He rubbed his temple. When would his mother let him go?

His serious face softened as he thought about Leila. When would his mom finally let him and Leila live peacefully?

He sighed. Leila was looking at her work seriously with her head hung low on the sofa.

She was serious and quiet and Vincent felt sorry for her.

Her bangs that were tucked behind her ears fell out and blocked her view, but Leila didn’t move her hand to tuck it away. A warm hand reached out to her. This doting action seemed intimate. He used his slender fingers to tuck her bangs that fell out behind her ears.

Leila was about to look to the side to avoid Vincent’s intimate touch, but Vincent prevented her from moving by holding down her shoulder. He then sat down next to her.

“Are you tired?” Leila noticed that he looked exasperated.

He looked at her and smiled, his eyes filled with anguish, “No matter what happens between me and your father, you are still my wife, okay?”

Leila got worried, “What are you planning to do?”

“Nothing!” He wasn’t collecting information on Brian as it wasn’t an easy feat. He halted the progress because he knew what he wanted the most.

“I wouldn’t leave you if you did nothing wrong!” Leila’s nose tingled and she choked with sobs.

“Come here.” Suddenly, he reached out his arm and looked at her lovingly. He smiled and said “I wanted to kiss you deeply at first, but I’m not feeling greedy anymore. I want a hug, just a hug.”

“Okay…” Leila inched closer and leapt into his arms. His hug was strong and warm, his pounding heart and the feeling of belonging made Leila felt at peace.

He hugged her tightly and she found it hard to breathe. She endured his force even though she felt like she was about to break.

After a long while, he finally loosened up.

His strength diminished but he was still hugging her. He was indulging himself in her scent, both of them giving each other company.

Vincent’s mother called from Tokyo on her birthday.

“Vincent, today is my birthday. You didn’t come back and so I gave you a present instead. I hope you’ll like it!” said Nora.

Vincent was taken aback and he felt uneasy, “What present?”

“I’m flying tonight, going back to F City,” said Nora directly, “You’ll see what I mean!”

“You’re coming back?” Vincent was stunned.

“Why? Do I need your permission to come back?” Nora laughed, and her voice turned wintry.

Vincent didn’t want to say more, “Okay, I’ll go get you.”

“No need! Let’s throw a banquet at HJ Hotel tomorrow. I have a Japanese guest over!”

“I’ll help you arrange it!”

“Charles already did!” Nora hung up.

Vincent frowned, since it was his first time he had no idea what his mother prepared him. His intuition was telling him that it had something to do with the Hunter family.

The next day, the video of Macey and Charles was out in public. The video which was half an hour long was posted online without any mosaic. Macey was indulging herself in pleasure throughout the video and Charles’s face was not clearly shown at all. One could only tell that Macey was doing it with some man.

Macey’s face was exposed just like that to the internet, and even the newspaper was reporting about this with the title “F City’s mayor, Brian Hunter’s daughter having an enjoyable time with an unknown man”.

“Leila, your father had a stroke. Come quickly to the hospital!” Leila was making Vincent a nice breakfast at home when she got an urgent call from her mother.

“What?” The ladle fell onto the ground and Leila asked worriedly, “What happened? What happened?”

“I don’t know, he fainted after seeing the news. I’m so worried! He’s in the emergency room right now!” Mabel was worried to death.

At the hospital.

Vincent and Leila just arrived.

“Mom, how’s dad?” Leila rushed to the surgery room and saw Mabel waiting in distress. She wasn’t crying, since she was a strong woman. The tougher the situation, the tougher she would try to be and not cry.
