A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 788

Marley stared at Sylvie with a look of unbearable sadness; his heart was aching badly.

He knew she felt aggrieved, because he has mistakenly wronged her!

As he looked at her expression, there was an inexplicable feeling of pain within him.

Sylvie said nothing; she never expected that he would find her again!

As he stood before her, Marley didn’t say anything, but only looked longingly at her. His look was a mixture of complex feelings.

“Sylvie!” Marley finally managed to call out her name in a raspy voice, “It’s all my fault! I feel really awful about it!”

Sylvie looked at him and sighed deeply. She turned to look elsewhere, because she couldn’t bear to continue looking at his eyes that were filled with a deep sense of regret!

“Marley, it’s time to put things to an end!” She took a deep breath, and laid bare before him all the mixture of complicated emotions, “I never held onto any disillusions; I knew things would come to an end someday, but it was you who kept me going! But you don’t trust me! You’ve been with Jemima for five years, and I was wrong to cut into your life! Anyway, I’m sorry for everything! I just hope we can end the things between us!”

She paused for a bit, then continued, “I’m really tired, I’m sick of it all. I don’t want to see you returning home with a bunch of kiss marks, just like you wouldn’t want to see me kissed by another man! And you two have been quite intimate, so you two must be a couple. I’m really, really tired. Do you understand?”

Her voice was perplexed; she had such a young face, but her eyes appeared so hollow and haggard, as though she had gone through too many harsh difficulties and now felt hopeless. Marley also felt incredibly pained to see her like this.

He said nothing, but quietly took up her hand.

Sylvie wanted to pull him away, but his firm, warm hands were so tight, she couldn’t pull away.

“I never had sex with Jemima again, not ever again. Can you believe me, Sylvie?” Marley’s voice sounded incredibly fatigued, but also filled with sincerity that made her want to believe him.

Sylvie looked him in the eyes as he continued to hold her hand. She felt an emotion she couldn’t quite pinpoint. They never had sex again. Could it be true? She looked at him in the eyes, and Marley appeared quite honest.

She started to feel flustered and wanted to run away, “None of these matters now! Just leave! Alright? Please, just go, stop bothering me anymore, I’m so tired!” She cried out.

He felt as if he could die at that moment! “Let’s go back home, Sylvie!”

“No! Just leave!” She refused, as if she was reeling in pain.

Marley was stunned for a while.

“If you want to be good to me, just leave, right now!” Sylvie said in a cold tone.

Marley looked at her confusedly for a long time, then finally let go of her hands. A light flickered for a second in his eyes, but then faded away just as quickly. His eyes drooped to the floor as he said in a low tone, “Sylvie, let me send you back!”

“No need!”

“Alright! But you have to promise me not to overthink anymore. I’ll leave right now!” As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out a wad of cash, which he placed in her hand, “Call a cab, go back to the villa! If you don’t want to go there, then go back to your grandfather. Alright? Promise me, and then I’ll go!”

“I can make my own way back!” She shouted.

“Alright, I’ll leave now!” Marley got into his car.

She silently watched as he got into his car and drove off. His face became smaller and smaller through the rearview mirror, until it became blurry, and the finally gone. She watched as his car vanished from sight.

Happiness was like treading on a thin layer of ice. If you really loved someone, it shouldn’t feel tiresome. But why did she feel so exhausted?

As his car disappeared from her vision, she took a step back; her heart felt bewildered and extremely disappointed!

He didn’t have sex with Jemima? Could it be true?

For some reason, she believed him! Was it because she still loved him, so she believed his words? In the end, this was what she was struggling with! She didn’t want him if he was unclean, but what if he was still pure? Why was she hesitant again?

The second his car disappeared, she felt like her nerves were pulled out of her individually, and each one tugged at her heart. The unbearable pain made her stoop down and begin to cry…

‘I love you, Marley, I still love you, do you know that? I really, really love you! But should I believe what you said?’

She held onto her trembling body as her confession was heard by none other than herself.

She had to admit, she couldn’t pretend anymore! She was only twenty-two years old! As confused as she was, she was still a child! She barely became an adult! And she didn’t want her baby to grow up without a father!

Streams of tears fell down her face, as she began to bawl before the terminal bus stop.

While she was still crying, she suddenly raised her head when a deep, pitiful voice rang out, “You can’t let go, but you are just too stubborn to admit it. How should I punish you, you lying little vixen?”

The sudden voice made Sylvie tremble and drop her sunglasses.

A pair of familiar hands picked up her sunglasses, then picked her up from the ground!

“You-” Sylvie choked on the rest of her words. She had already made a decision, but she just couldn’t bear to say it in front of him.

He didn’t say anything as he pulled her up from the ground. Then he led her to his car, “I’ll drive you back home. Why are you crying alone? You sill girl.”

Her heart suddenly felt a bit warmer, and she really wanted to ask: Why did you come back?

He looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes, “Don’t you have something you want to say?”

She froze in place, as her face still had traces of her tears.
