A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 716

“Pretty good!” He said two words and very quietly picked up his chopsticks to eat.

The two stopped talking. Meanwhile, he ate very slowly with an elegant posture.

She also did not say much as she just felt a bit weird getting along with someone in this way. He ate slowly, but he still ate a lot. He was slightly shocked when he noticed that she was not eating any fish. So, he asked, “Why don’t you eat fish?”

Sylvie looked at the fish and whispered, “I'm afraid of the accidentally eating the fish bones!”

She did not know how to eat fish. So, as she normally chocked on bones when she ate fish, she decided to stop eating fish.

Without saying a word, he picked up the chopsticks and took a big piece of fish. He then put it on a small dinner plate and started to taking out the bones. He took the bones out very carefully and he was very concentrated throughout the process. After he took out the bones from the fish, he put it in her bowl. “You can eat it! There are no more bones in it anymore!”

Sylvie looked as if she was about to cry. No one had ever noticed that she did not eat fish and no one had ever taken out the bones from the fish just for her to eat, Sadie did not even do it before. So, ever since she was little, she had never eaten fish and only drank fish soup. However, eating fish was both good and nutritious. So, she just bought it for Marley for him to eat more healthier, but she did not expect him to take out the bones from most of the fish and put it in her bowl for her to eat.

“That's enough!” She whispered. Her heart was flowing with indescribable emotion, why did he have to be so considerate? It was not supposed to be like this?!

After the meal, Marley went to the study room while Sylvie went to take a shower and change her clothes.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Marley at the door. When she saw him, her face turned red and she subconsciously pulled tightly onto her bathrobe.

Marley snorted out a laugh as he walked over and fixed his sight on her.

“You, don’t you dare come over!” Sylvie shouted.

However, Marley did not care. He quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around her. He then moved his lips towards her ear and remained there for a long time as he finally spit out a word, “Dummy.”

His voice was deep and pleasant, with a tingling sensation, as if his voice was followed with an electric current. Sylvie’s ears quickly turned red from listening to his voice.

“When the company is back on track, we'll go on a honeymoon!” He said again.

She suddenly could not say what her feeling was.

Naturally, during that night, Sylvie was devoured by Marley again.

Later, she thought to herself, what's wrong with her! What was the relationship between the two of them?

The next day at ten in the morning.

Sylvie finally saw Marley.

The moment she saw Marley, Sylvie realized that she really did not know how to describe this person, she could not believe that the man standing in front of her would be a gambler.

Ernie was wearing a silver-gray shirt. His looked tall and slender, about the same height as Marley. In terms of looks, he was equally handsome and outstanding as Marley. Other than that, he was also fixing his gaze on Sylvie.

He had a handsome face, and at first glance, his appearance was quite similar to Marley’s. Sylvie remembered that they were cousins, so even though they looked similar, it should still be considered normal.

“Sylvie, this person is Marley’s cousin, Ernie! My son.” Kasper introduced first.

Sylvie nodded her head.

Cold light could be seen reflected through the bottom of his eyes as he calmly said, “Are you Sylvie?”

This was the first thing Ernie said when he saw Sylvie.

“Hello!” Sylvie replied indifferently, keeping her usual composure.

“Miss Sylvie, don't you think it's ironic to ask a gambler if he's okay?” Ernie’s tone was tinged with sarcasm and a strong sense of self-deprecation. “How okay can a person who loses money and hides from debts be?”

Sylvie seemed to be able to sense a complex, seemingly sarcastic and annoying tone from listening to what Ernie had said.

She raised her eyes to look at the people standing beside Kasper and Teddie, they all looked a bit stunned and confused. Ernie really seemed to really hate her!

“The president told the three of you to go to the conference room first!” Sylvie had a smile on her face, neither looking humble nor overbearing. She did not want to know the reason behind Ernie’s expression given just now.

Marley was on the phone, and he arranged for Sylvie to take them into the conference room.

Ernie smiled coldly and looked towards Sylvie after both Kasper and Teddie had entered the conference room. He walked past Sylvie, and the moment he brushed past her, he stopped. He then bent his head, and whispered in her ear, “Sylvie, you are really nosy, what does it matter to you if the Hughes family is destroyed? Why do you have to meddle in our business?”

“Ernie, shut up!” Kasper scolded angrily from the inside of the conference room.

“Dad, don't get angry. I know I'm wrong, okay?” Ernie replied to Kasper with a playful smile.

“If you really admit to your mistakes, just live your life honestly and find something decent to do, so I'll don't have to worry about you so much! To my ancestors, I really am in debt to you!” Kasper’s tone was a bit self-deprecating.

Ernie just laughed, “Dad, maybe I am the one who is in debt to you! You should quickly go in and sit down!”

Kasper sighed and found a seat.

Ernie turned his eyes to Sylvie again, and coldly snorted, “Sylvie, does it feel fun to be our savior? Are you comfortable enough? Does it feel like your image has skyrocketed after saving the Hughes family? Do you think we all should have to kneel down and look up to you as our queen? I'm telling you, there is no way we are going to do that. The Hughes family should have been destroyed long ago!”
