A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 438

“Ok, but next time. Today is on me, Macey will join us too. Macey said that she wanted to have a meal together with you tonight. I’ll pick you up.” He said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone urging hurriedly. “That’s it. I’m a little busy right now. I’ll pick you up at the Pearl Community around 5.30 pm.”

“My sister?”

“Yes! It’s she who takes the initiative to ask you out!” Arthur laughed. “I’ll hang up now, I’ve some business to attend!”

Leila was holding her phone and cried with joy. Her sister took the initiative to ask her out? Did it mean that her sister had forgiven her and her mother?

At 5.30 pm, Arthur’s car stopped directly downstairs. Leila received a call and went downstairs. Looking from far away, she saw him standing at the street in the neighborhood. He was talking and laughing with a few middle-aged women. He made those aunties so happy with his radiant smile.

A man like Arthur could be considered as a public lover?!

In a private room of a luxury nightclub.

When Leila and Arthur arrived, Macey was already there.

“Sister!” Leila called in a low voice.

“Sit down!” It was rare that Macey didn’t talk acrimony. Her tone was calm but not overly intimate.

But this was enough for Leila. She felt satisfied because her sister had taken the initiative to call her out.

The table was filled with dishes and a large plate of braised chicken wings was placed in the center of the table.

Macey picked up one and put it into Leila’s bowl, “Lexi, this is the chicken wing that you love the most!”

Leila was flattered. Macey still remembered that she liked chicken wings?!

Before she could say anything, Macey said, “I called you to come here today because I want to apologize to you! No matter what the reason is, I shouldn’t try to harm you, let someone bully you at the pub and even ask someone to kidnap you. I don’t know if you were lucky, or I was too unlucky. In short, I didn’t make it so it made me less guilty! Tonight, I want to apologize to you!”

“Sister!” Leila was shocked and somewhat flattered with her eyes warming up. “Don’t say something like this!”

“I’m leaving. I will go to United States. Later, the family will be counting on you, I’m not coming back again!” Macey spoke lightly with not much fluctuation in her emotions.

But Arthur looked at her and sighed. “How about the guy who is looking for you?”

“I’ve already talked to him and he won’t be looking for me anymore!” Macey smiled and said, “Arthur, thank you for all these days!”

“Don’t thank me yet, you have to think of what to do if that person come to you again!”

“Who’s looking for my sister?”

Arthur gave Leila a glance and spoke softly, “The main character of today’s press conference!”

“Is he really looking for my sister again?” Leila was dumbfounded and suddenly became happy. “Is that real? Is he sincere?”

A smile played on Macey’s lips, but her eyes were vaguely in a trance. “Let’s eat. It seems that they put too much sugar and it tastes so cloying!”

Leila and Arthur looked at Macey at the same time, Macey was stunned. Although her lips twitched with a faint smile, she puckered up her lips obstinately and said, “What’s wrong?”

At that moment, the door of the private room was opened. Two tall figures appeared at the door coincidentally. Leila and Macey were both stunned.

Leila saw Vincent’s tall figure blocking the door. His indifference handsome face showed a unique charm whereas the person next to him was Charles.

Leila raised her head up slowly and saw him. Then she lowered her head and smiled faintly but slightly sour. It must be Arthur who told him. She didn't expect that Charles will look for her sister. Did he come to make up with her after knowing the truth? Then Vincent also came to apologize to her sister!

Arthur spoke first with a smile, “All of you are here. Since all of you are here, then don’t block the door and come to have a seat!”

Vincent and Charles walked slowly towards the two-seated sofa and sat down.

Ever since Vincent knew the truth, he had been thinking calmly and busy with his matter.

He had never met Leila all this while and imagined that how miserable and disappointed she was. It felt like their distance was so near yet so far, a distance that he couldn’t even fly across. With extremely remorse, he still came! Because he wanted to give Leila and Macey an explanation, at least, an apology in person.

Macey’s gaze turned to Arthur. “Arthur, did you tell them about our dinner together today?”

Arthur confessed, “Yes! It’s me!”

Macey stopped talking and lowered her head, as if she didn’t see the incomers and only said to Leila, “Eat!”

Leila also didn’t know what’s that feeling in her heart, and she unconsciously grabbed the hemline of her skirt tightly. She glanced at the man who sat right across her. Leila slightly stunned as his gaze fixed on her. That kind of gaze which was excessively hot and horribly focused, like a deep possession.

Leila smiled with her lips twitched bitterly. She ate quietly. She wouldn’t make herself hungry, especially now that she had a baby in her belly. Her baby needed nutrition and she was too thin these days, so she needed to get extra nutrition. Although they were tasteless and she started to have pregnancy reaction, she would still eat.
