A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 446

"You should stay here for some time to relax and calm down. Don't think too much. Pregnant women should be happy and keep calm all the time,” he said in a gentle but firm tone.

"Okay!" Leila nodded.

"Arthur, Leila, time to eat. Come out!" Miss Spencer called outside.

With a smile, Arthur said loudly, "Got it, Grandaunt. Come right away!"

Then, he was silent for a while before he said to Leila, "Let’s get something to eat. You must be hungry, right? I guess you didn’t eat anything when you ran out early in the morning."

Leila bit her lips and nodded, and something dawned on her and she said, "Didn't you go home all night?"

Arthur nodded and walked to her, looking down at her. "I'm hungry. When shall we go for dinner? How long are you going to stand?" he asked.

Leila was in a trance. He was obviously trying to avoid her question. Looking at his bloodshot eyes, she knew he must not have slept last night. She sighed and went out without saying anything.

The living room was connected with the dining room. There were several plates of light and delicious food on the dining table, as well as the rice. Miss Spencer waited for them with a smile. "Arthur, what's wrong with your eyes? They are bloodshot."

"It's OK, Grandaunt. I'll go back to F City after finishing eating, and Leila will be with you!" Arthur took out the chair for Leila and he sat in the opposite.

"In such a hurry? It's not too late to leave tomorrow. Your eyes are bloodshot. No matter how busy you are, you have to rest. After dinner, you can go to the guest room and have good sleep before leaving," Miss Spencer said as she served out the soup.

"No! It's OK. It takes only a few hours!" Arthur, who didn't take it seriously, took a mouthful of soup and couldn't help praising, "Grandaunt, it's delicious. It's still the taste of my childhood! I want some more!"

"Kid, you glutton."

"Of course! Because you made such delicious soup!"

"Leila, have a bowl of soup. " Miss Spencer gave Leila a bowl with a smile.

"Well! Thank you, Miss Spencer." Leila took the spoon and said softly, looking at Arthur again. "You'd better take some rest before going back. It's not safe for you to drive like this!"

"Indeed! Since Leila cares about you so much, do you mean to refute her kindness?"

"Okay, I’ll leave at night!" Arthur said, rolling his eye. "I’ll spend the whole afternoon sleeping to gather my strength before leaving! I'm afraid you don’t want me to stay here for a long time.

"Who?"

"Well, not you. It’s Leila. I'm afraid she doesn’t want me to stay!"

Hearing his words, Leila was stunned, feeling uncomfortable to eat.

After finishing eating, they stayed at the dining table quietly for a while. Leila helped Miss Spencer clean up the dishes, and Arthur went to the guest room to have a rest. He said to Leila before going to the guest room, "I'll leave when I wake up."

He was really worn out, and he would be sleepy if he drove back. Considering his health, he decided to take a rest.

She said "yes".

After going to the guest room, Arthur lit a cigarette. As he smoked, he seemed to be lost in deep thought until his mobile phone vibrated. He answered the phone, and it was Vincent's voice. "Arthur, is Leila with you?"

Arthur was slightly stunned. Hearing Vincent's urgent tone, he asked, frowning. "What's the matter? What happened to Leila?"

"Isn't she with you?" Vincent asked suspiciously.

He was afraid of being found out, but he still said calmly, "No!"

It had been three days.

Leila was still nowhere to be found after three days.

Vincent was on the verge of losing patience, and he was much painful.

He sat quietly in the chair; heavy, brooding silence descended around him.

He frowned deeply with a cold expression, his eyes full of loneliness and pain, and he couldn’t be lonelier and sadder.

"Clara, please ask Arthur to come over!" he said to Clara over the phone.

"Yes.”

After a while, Arthur pushed the door into the president's office. Looking at Vincent's tired and dispirited look, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Leila is gone!" Vincent said to him.

"I know. You said it three days ago!" Arthur sat calmly opposite him. "What do you want to do with Leila?"

Vincent was stunned and as he stared at Arthur.
