A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 411

“Mum, why are you so thin? Mummy, you’re getting old! Your hair is turning white!” Leila called out in a low voice.

Mabel’s expression faltered as she shook her head and calmed Leila. “Mum is fine, that’s all Mum knows. Nora Morgan likes your father and your father was an attractive man! It’s normal that many people like him. He’s a lifelong fate for Mum and your aunt, a fate that can’t be escaped!”

“Mum!” She frowned, “How did you know that Nora liked my father?”

“Your father said so!” Mabel’s expression seemed a little unnatural. Leila was stunned and a little suspicious.

“Leila, Mr. Gordon doesn’t know anything either. They were just classmates back then!” Mabel saw Leila’s somewhat sceptical expression and said hurriedly, “You should know that it is Mr. White who isn’t taking straight. As Nora liked your father, Mr. White felt cuckolded and that’s why he get depressed! You shouldn’t ask Mr. Gordon again as they have such a good relationship. You ask people who are aged and they will get nostalgic and become sad!”

“Is that so?” Leila murmured and no one whether she was asking Mabel or asking herself.

Committing suicide just because he was cuckolded?

Could it be that Nora had something to do with my dad back then?

Therefore he couldn’t bear the blow. With his wife on one side and his best friend and partner on the other, he ended up choosing to take the dead-end! It seemed to make sense, but something wasn’t right. Committing suicide for someone else? Can this be the decision of a man in a high position of power?

Leila was silent, frowning in thought.

“Leila, I’ll go in and accompany your father now!” Mabel said carefully, “Don’t go to find Mr. Gordon again, he’ll be very embarrassed! Also, don’t tell Vincent about this, Mum doesn’t want him to know that his mum doesn’t love his dad! It must be a big shock to him!”

Leila was aware of the seriousness of the situation, but why did she feel that something was wrong?

But as she confronted her mother, she could only nod her head. “I understand, mum!”

“I’m going to look after your dad, what about you and Vincent?” Mabel’s head ached as she recalled yesterday’s press conference.

“Divorced!” Leila whispered, lowering her head. Being able to meet such a mother-in-law and such parents who obviously knew the truth but didn’t say anything, it would take a miracle for them to go on, Leila thought.

Obviously, her mother was keeping some secrets too!

After thinking about it for half a day, she decided to go and find Seth Jordon’s family secretly. She was sure that someone would know the truth.

“Mum, I’ll go now!” Leila picked up her satchel and headed for the Southern Suburbs of F City.

She asked around many places once she entered the Southern Suburbs, looking for Seth’s family. But the news she got was that he had a son who had previously been at home, but had mysteriously disappeared a few months ago!

He had disappeared a few months ago!

Leila tried to accept the news and had no choice but to return for the moment. The only clue was that Seth’s son was called Ben Jordan. She wanted to investigate further!

She sat on the bus as the scenery sped by along the road. She held the phone in her hand but it never rang for a moment. Was he not available to call her?

Her heart was still upset.

As she was thinking about it, the phone rang.

Leila was a little nervous but noticed that it was an unknown number and she answered it immediately. When she heard the voice, her heart was disappointed that the person was Pippa Russell. “Pippa?”

“Let’s meet!”

“No thanks!” Leila didn’t want to see her.

“It’s not me who wants to meet you, it’s my mother!” Pippa’s voice was grim.

Leila was stunned, Nora? She frowned and thought for a moment before adding, “Where do we meet?”

“ Grand View Cafe!” Pippa said.

“Alright! I’ll be there in half an hour!” Leila hung up the phone and pondered what Nora would say. She was Vincent’s mother anyway so Leila decided to go and meet her.

At Grand View.

Leila walked in and saw Nora and Pippa already waiting by the window. She slowly walked over to them. Nora was wearing delicate make-up as usual and a tight-fitting cheongsam. On the other hand, Pippa was dressed in a white suit, giving the impression of a capable urban woman.

Leila walked up to them and did not rush to sit down, but smiled gently. She turned to Nora and asked, “Are you looking for me?”

Nora saw that Leila did not look intimidated and laughed mockingly, “I have something to say to you.”

Pippa raised her head even more proudly and confidently curled the corners of her mouth then smiled smugly.

Leila was very calm, standing quietly in front of them without saying anything. A stagnant aura surrounded them, bringing a sense of oppressive suffocation.
