A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 917

She could not tell that either!

Rae was in dilemma at that moment, she could not even find an answer to tell Marcel.

She could only smile awkwardly, as she replied, “Then what do you suggest?”

“Who sent the movie ticket?” Marcel shook the movie ticket in his hand, “Or did you buy it?”

Rae followed his words and replied simply, “I bought it!”

“Well?” Marcel frowned and without any change in expression, he said, “Then good, let’s go watch it together this afternoon! It happens that I too, haven’t seen this movie!”

Rae only felt that her back was full of cold sweat, as she smiled. “Alright!”

She could only reply like this.

Marcel smiled as well, but that smile made Rae felt chilled to the bone.

To lose the awkwardness, she asked, “Aren’t you interrogating? How come you’re done so quickly?”

“Yes!” Marcel replied, not knowing whether he was denying or affirming, the meaning in his words were hard to guess at the moment.

Rae knew that he had meant to isolate her, so she naturally did not dare to pursue further!

She looked at the movie ticket that was in Marcel’s hand, thinking that she should text her father quickly or else it would be exposed. Marcel took the envelope of the express courier again and examined it, the handwriting on it were not of her father’s, she did not know whom he had asked to send this ticket.

“Rae, do you know Ophelia?” Marcel put down the envelope and put the ticket on top of it. He raised his head to look at Rae, his eyes examining her.

Rae stunned, “We just met!”

“Just met?” Marcel repeated this sentence, his words filled with meaning.

“Yes!” Rae nodded.

Marcel started laughing.

Rae was shocked inside, what was he laughing about?

He laughed, and then he finally continued, “If you and Ophelia are friends, I rather don’t mind letting her off easy. But if you’re not, then…”

He stretched his sentence, but did not continued his following words.

Yet Rae heard the threat in his words.

Rae smiled lightly as well, “Since when does the fair and just Captain Hopkins learn to let people off easy?”

“You haven’t answered me!” Marcel said.

Rae laughed.

She was asking herself whether his actions now were normal, or that he had already been suspecting her? Had he actually expressed even the slightest feeling towards her? She had given herself to this man in such a short amount of time, yet he seemed to think that it was very normal! But for her, it was the most precious first time!

His behaviour made her dare not to think. She was afraid to recognise a truth, that them being together had no love but only desire!

Yet, it had already came to this, so what could she do?

Her identity had destined for them to never have an ending.

She smiled silently once more, her smile was bitter and sad as she replied, “We knew each other like we have met a long time ago, I don’t wish for anything to happen to her! If Captain Hopkins can let her go easy, then I’ll be fully grateful! If you can’t, I won’t get angry either, since you’re just doing your job.”

Hearing this, Marcel laughed instead and did not express anything.

Rae smiled as well.

But they both knew that at this moment, although their smiles were big, it could not fight against that unbreachable gap in their hearts. It was a tall wall that could not be climbed through.

At this moment, they were so close yet so far!

But Rae relaxed instead.

If Marcel had really given her some favour at this moment, or had been completely open towards her, then she might still feel guilty. Yet now she felt a lot more relaxed. At least in the aspect of feelings, Marcel had not given it all!

Then, if one day they broke up, he would not have really felt sad!

Rae thought, this was worth to be glad for as well!

Did she regret it?

No!

As her personality was like this, even if it all happened once more, she would have still made the same choice for the situation at that moment. So, being regretful did not help anything.

She loved this man!

Thus, she did not hope that he would be sad after!

“I’ll take away this ticket!” Marcel said, “We’ll go together in the afternoon!”

Rae nodded.

She had planned to notify her father, Kane later that she could not make it!

Yet, her calculations went wrong, as at this moment Marcel started, “We have to go for a meeting. You should come as well, Rae!”

“Alright!” Rae went quickly!

This was a very important meeting, following the practice, everyone would have to give up their phones. Once they entered the meeting room, everyone would leave their phones in the basket at the middle of the meeting table. A lot of phones were laid out accordingly and placed there, and Rae followed, silencing her phone and placing it there. But before that, she had already deleted the unfamiliar message in her phone!

The meeting was not about the murder at YS Club, but was about another case. Rae was not quite familiar with it, she did not even know why she was asked to attend this meeting!

But she still listened attentively, and she took down some notes as well.

However, after the meeting ended, when everyone had gone to take their phones, Rae found that her phone was gone!

Her eyes widened as she looked around. Everyone was almost gone, and had went outside consecutively.

She looked everywhere, to see who had taken her phone!
