A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 724

Marley’s angry rebuke wasn’t responded to, so he was even more angry. He narrowed his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and kicked the door hard, “Open the door, Sylvie Mccarthy! Do you have to mess around with other men?”

Sylvie didn’t expect Marley to be angry, moreover, to be that angry. Was it because they were at home? That was why he was being so impudent. A roar like that really made her unable to react to it. But she still tried to calm herself down, “I didn’t. I know I did wrong with what happened with Ernie today. I admit I shouldn’t have gone out and not taking precaution, but Ryan is my relative. He only touched my hair and you’re already being so jealous! Marley Hughes, you don’t have a crush on me, do you?”

“!!!” Hearing Sylvie’s words, Marley was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth, but unexpectedly not one word came out.

Did he fall in love with her?

With a buzzing sound, a stream of blood rushed into his brain. Marley was standing at the door in a daze and a thin shade of redness flushed his face instantly.

No! It’s not love! But if it was not love then what’s he doing right now?

That thought was still swirling in Marley’s head when he heard Sylvie said again from the inside, “Tell me. Did you fall in love with me, Marley Hughes?”

Sylvie asked again, perhaps because she had the courage to do so through the door. She didn’t know what the result would be, but she asked it anyway.

Only thing was that Marley couldn’t digest it in time, so he instantly became irritated. He yelled at the door angrily, “You think you’re beautiful huh, Sylvie Mccarthy? Fall in love with you? You’re being so bold now, aren’t you? Open the door right now!”

Sylvie’s face froze inside. So it wasn’t love! She laughed at herself, what was she thinking?

She knew the ending from the beginning, so why did she think about it then? It’s just that after going through some things, could her feelings still return to where it first set sail?

She was like a lonely boat drifting in the boundless sea, without a guiding light, wavering in the darkness. In the end, it was unknown where home was. She knew if her heart was still not lucid, she wouldn’t know where her path would be.

Maybe it’s heaven, maybe it’s hell, maybe it would just take one moment to plunge into the end of the world.

An angel lost in the mortal world may be able to return to home, but in the world of Marley Hughes, was there still a place for Sylvie Mccarthy? Stunned by such a feeling, Sylvie grabbed the handle of her satchel tightly and stood so quietly on the other side of the door. She wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

“Sylvie Mccarthy, open the door!” Marley stood at the door and shouted.

There wasn’t an expected answer, nor was there any movement.

The corridor was quiet, the house was quiet, and Marley’s voice echoed throughout the villa. There was no response, seemingly slight lonely.

Marley stared at the tightly closed door and a flash of doubt passed through his deep gaze. He suddenly thought of something, and the corner of his sexy mouth raised, slovenly said, “Do you think I can’t get in, Sylvie Mccarthy?”

Sylvie seemed to be frightened and stammered, “Whatever. Whether you’re coming in or not, either way, I will not open the door today!”

She was like a child who had a temper tantrum, her words sounded a bit sulky. Marley stood at the door, momentarily dazed, then softened his tone, “Sylvie, open the door. This is our room, where do you want to lock me in?”

Facing his suddenly softened voice, a strange feeling abruptly emerged in Sylvie’s heart. It was a feeling of fear, but it was far more frightening than when he was being cold and angry!

With this version of Marley, Sylvie couldn’t hear his displeasure at the moment. He only made her feel deeply afraid and took a step backward unconsciously. She was looking at the door like fear of seeing a ghost, and once again made sure it was closed and locked. He couldn’t get in! Only then she could completely put her mind at ease.

“Sylvie, be good. Open the door.” Marley’s tone was even more gentle.

Faced with such a perverse him, Sylvie was terrified. That tone of voice was like coaxing a child!

She nervously gripped her satchel instantly, as if giving herself the courage to face it.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Despite the distraction, she still wanted to say something, let’s all just take a break tonight, “You have your own place to stay. Where you stayed on the night of our wedding, you can stay there now just as well! I don’t want to open the door, and whether you’re angry or not, it’s none of my business. I don’t want to open the door, and I won’t open the door. I’m not accompanying you anymore!”

Sylvie dumped that sentence on Marley then threw her bag on the rocking chair. She grabbed a bathrobe and went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and took a bath.

“Open the door!” No matter how much Marley shouted, there was no more response from the inside.

Sylvie had gone through too much today and was a bit exhausted.

She was hugged and kissed by Ernie today. She felt she was a bit dirty when she thought about it and a little unsettling by just thinking about it in her heart.

Ernie Hughes was full of mystery, with no way for people to sought out. What was going on with that three hundred million exactly? Losing three hundred million in one night, with an amount of money that large, it was completely aiming at Hughes Group! Even if he really did lose three hundred million, then he was also definitely coming for Hughes Group! With such a big prodigal, what secrets were he harboring?

Sylvie was busy thinking and didn’t hear the sound of the door handle turning outside. With the water in the shower running down, she didn’t hear the sound of the door outside opening at all.

Marley heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom when he entered the bedroom and froze for a moment. Looking in the direction of the bathroom, his throat moved a little, and the gloom on his face followed to ease a bit.

Marley stared at the bathroom door and jingled the key ring in his hand, his eyes narrowed dangerously. I would see where you were going to escape to, Sylvie Mccarthy!

And when Marley pushed open the door with a key in his hand, his face looking livid and suddenly appearing at the bathroom door, Sylvie was stunned for a moment and let out a scream instantly, “Ah—”
