A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 880

Raphael Gill sat down on the seat. "Rae, can I know what happened?"

Rae thought about it for a second and she was sure if she should tell him. It was Mrs Gill’s request to let her keep it as a secret. How could she leak the secret? She shook her head, "Raphael, we have confidentiality regulations!"

"Rae, actually, I know!"

"What?" Rae felt confused.

"I know my mother has a lover!"

Rae was shocked.

"My parents have their own lovers!" Raphael's tone was helpless, sad as well as self - deprecation. "It's disgusting, isn't it?"

Neither did Rae know how to comfort Raphael, nor did she know what to say to Raphael. She could do nothing but only see him suffer. Finally, she walked over gently and put her hand around him.

At that moment, Raphael's body tightened and a light of hope flashed under his eyes. Without thinking too much, he hugged Rae back.

He hugged very tight, Rae was restrained by him and she hardly took a breath.

Raphael didn't release his hand, and he wrapped Rae around tightly.

For a while, neither of them spoke to each other.

Rae felt Raphael's helplessness and hopelessness that moment.

She could understand Mrs Gill's loneliness, but she never thought she could have done this kind of thing. Sometimes people tried to break through their bottom line. However, once they broke it through, they might lose self-control.

Rae sighed deep down in her heart and whispered softly, "Raphael, you can definitely get through it. Everything hasn't gone to the worst part yet, so please cheer up!"

"Rae!" Raphael whispered, "You don't understand, I'm scared!"

Rae was startled because she had never heard Raphael say so, as if he was fearless.

However, in just an instant, Raphael released her and patted her shoulder, "I'm fine. Taking good care of yourself, I should go back home!"

Rae nodded, she still a little worried about him, "You sure you are all right?"

Raphael laughed mockingly, "Of course. I will get through this, as you said!"

Rae took another deep look at him before leaving.

Raphael asked her as soon as she walked to the door, "Rae, do you have time tonight?"

Rae was taken aback.

Raphael explained, "If you are really busy, then forget about it! Actually, I just want to find someone to talk to tonight!"

"I'm not very busy, but I may work overtime. But I will go back home today, Raphael, I will go find you after work!" Rae felt that she should company Raphael this time as a friend. Therefore, she did not refuse his invitation.

When she was about to leave, she turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the door of the reception room. It was Marcel Hopkins. Rae was startled and said, "Hi, Captain Hopkins!"

"Yeah!" She couldn’t read Marcel's emotions right now, but only she could feel he was indifferent. Rae said hello to him, he did not answer her, but just nodded coldly.

Rae looked back at Raphael, and found that Raphael was looking at Marcel.

Then she turned back and looked at Marcel and they were staring at each other.

They two looked at each other, and Rae could tell them were fighting by using their eye sights.

"Rae, you should go to the interrogation room. The upcoming cases are very complicated. Everyone won't go back tonight. I'm afraid your appointment with Mr. Gill needs to be canceled!" Marcel finally said something. But instead of seeing Rae, he looked at Raphael directly when he said it. Rae didn't know if he said this to her or he said it only for Raphael.

Rae didn’t know what to say, and she was not sure if Marcel really wanted them to work overtime, but she could only accept it, "Ok!"

She looked back at Raphael, and her expression was apologetic.

Raphael smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, Rae, we'll meet up when you don't have to work overtime. You must have some free time!"

Rae knew Raphael's words were full of provocation. She secretly took a glance at Marcel, and found that he was still the same, his face was indifferent and gloomy.

Rae felt that it would be better to leave now and to run as far as she could.

After she left.

Marcel didn’t follow her.

Raphael did not rush to leave either.

They two were facing each other and standing there. Marcel was outside the door and Raphael was inside the door.

They didn't speak for a long time, they seemed to have a competition through their eyes.
