A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 439

Leila heard what her sister told her, she only thought about it silently, but she did not move, stop her, or even try to chase her. Leila thought maybe her sister really figured it out as she had said what she thoughts so thoroughly. Although she felt very sorry, she decided to respect her decision. Only that she felt a little bit powerless. Life was truly unpredictable, and the vicissitudes of life were not shifted by human’s will.

Vincent's gaze kept flowing on her face, he looked down at her and the inviting light flickered in the bottom of his eyes. He suddenly said a few words in a low and hoarse voice "Come back home!"

Leila was taken aback for a moment, with her heart beating fast, but then she felt very ironic. Those hurtful words flashed back through her mind, and her lips were filled with indifferent smiles.

As if there was no such person in her sight, she treated him as air, and she said to Arthur Lane, "Arthur, I'm full, I think I should go back too!"

Arthur also heard Vincent's words, he was not surprised by Leila’s reaction, so he stood up and said, "I will send you back!"

"I'll send her back!" Vincent said suddenly.

"Let's go!" Leila reached out to pull Arthur, she just wanted to cut off with Vincent.

After being stunned, Charles ran out after Macey.

There were only three people left in the room, and the dishes on the table were barely moved.

"Leila! Can we talk?" Vincent asked again.

But Leila was on her way out.

Vincent blocked the door again, "Arthur, give us some room! I have something to tell Leila."

Leila recalled the last time they fought, and Arthur was badly hurt on face. So she loosened her grip and said, "Arthur, you can leave first, I'll talk to him!"

"Are you sure?"

"No problem!" Leila comforted him.

She would no longer allow Arthur to be hurt for her own sake. This had nothing to do with Arthur, it was only between her and Vincent.

"Okay! I'll go first!" Arthur walked out of the room.

Now there were only two people left in the private room, less than a foot away, Vincent stood upright in front of her. Leila returned to the dining table. She didn’t say anything, but picked up the chopsticks, and started eating again.

Vincent was a little surprised and looked at her.

"Come back home!" he repeated it again. The flame in his eyes looked burning more intensely. "Leila!"

She suddenly raised her head and stared at him. Her mouth, with half-finished food, opened slightly. She kept being silent. For a moment, they just stared at each other like this. Then, she gently moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue and began to chew the food.

"What do you mean?" she asked in a husky voice.

He looked at her eyes and said word by word, "Come back home, let's start it all over again!"

She immediately closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, they were full of tears. She tried not to burst into tears, tried to see him through the mist of tears, and attempted to maintain a calm smile... But she failed to do so. Her tears were rolling down, she could neither see him clearly, nor make a smile.

He noticed her expression, so he walked up to her and sat beside her. Without saying a word, he embraced her.

But out of his expectation, Leila pushed him away and shouted hoarsely, "Don't touch me!"

Vincent stood in amazement, " Leila…"

Leila stood up and walked to the place where he sat just now, facing him across the table.

Knowing her intentions, he hesitated and no longer walked over. He looked grieved and said, "Leila, I will not give you another chance to run away from me!”

Leila frowned, felt disgusted with his rhetoric, "In this world, no one can really force anyone, and no one really can't live without another person! If they do have concerns, the reason is because they still love each other, and once love is gone, there has no more concerns. You won’t give me a chance to run away? Do you think you can do it?"

Vincent's self-control seemed to collapse at this moment. He moved swiftly and violently towards her, stretched out his hand to grasp Leila’s hand firmly and screamed, "Let's start again!"

There has no mood on Leila's face, but a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She forcefully got rid of his hand, with which made him even grip her tighter. There was a burst of burning pain in her wrist.

She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "It hurts, let me go!"

Vincent still grabbed her tightly. With all the rage, she counterattacked without showing weakness.

"Bang!" only hearing a loud slap sound, she was accompanied by the burning pain inside of the palm, which was enough to show how much strength she put in it!

Vincent was slightly stunned, the burning pain on his cheeks and the taste of rusty iron in his mouth made a flame gradually rise in his eyes. But instead of being mad at her, he just stared at Leila deeply. There seemed to be something in his eyes, like endless pain, or a touch of unnoticeable sadness.

Leila bit her lip with a stubborn and indifferent expression on her face. Looking at his handsome face, she still felt shocked by the bright red fingerprints, but there was also a burst of joy came through her mind. The slap was also with grievance and anger that were aroused by him.

She said coldly, "I don't want a re-start with you. We are already over. Don't forget about one thing, I am having someone else’s baby. Are you afraid of being cheated?"

Vincent showed signs of sorrow in his eyes while he was stunned. Suddenly, he unreconciled to what she said but restrained the emotion. He looked at her for an instant, paying attention to the expression on her face, not letting the slightest change slide away. Indeed, her expression has nothing but indifference.

"It's my child, isn't it?" he still asked in a questioning tone.

Although he had been thinking about it for many days, even though he calmed down, thought a lot, he knew that Leila had almost no time to cheat on him, he still had no confidence in himself, he had no confidence in that one billionth opportunity.

"Vincent, do you know? It is not that you don't trust me, but that you don't learn to love people! You neither understand love nor marriage. You made me believe in you, but you never trust me! We no longer have the possibility to restart."

He didn’t know how to love?!

Vincent was surprised. And all of a sudden he realized something.

Could it be that he was wrong? Maybe their sweet and bitter memories from the time when they were being together have already gone in the wind! Only by thinking of this, a dull pain swept through his chest.

Vincent looked dignified, he took a deep look at her, a faint pain flashed in his eyes, he smiled with a bit of self-deprecation. "If I didn't love you, would I be so painful?"

"All of your pain comes from whether this child belongs to you! It is exhausting to be with you. I am more than grateful to your mother for letting us get divorced. It is such a good thing!" Leila said calmly.

Vincent's eyes were as dark as ocean water and were watching Leila’s face intensely. He asked in a lower voice, "If you had infertility, would you still be so confident? Have you ever thought about it?"

Leila's suddenly felt a chest distress. She would not know what to do if it were her! However, she knew that there was a problem between them. If she compromised, the problem would exist for a lifetime. This was not a small contradiction at all, but the core part. He had never believed in her.

After he had done that to her, Leila could not just forgive him easily, she just could not do it!

After seeing a hesitation in Leila's eyes, Vincent said again, "come back home, let the past become past, I will accept this child and will treat it as mine."

Leila heard that, her face flashed with indifference, she stood up, mocked and said with her deep voice, "No need, this kid was never yours, goodbye!"

"Where are you going?" Vincent’s gazed her coldly, he felt the flames of jealousy rising in his chest. In an instant, the flame turned into something as hot as magma and he couldn’t bear it and it just rushed out from his chest. He gritted his teeth and said, "Stop, we haven't discussed it yet!"

Leila laughed at him and said calmly, "I have nothing to discuss with you."

Leila almost walked to the door, she opened the door and walked out.

Vincent took a deep breath to calm himself down. He squinted his eyes gazing at the closed door and thinking how could it be like this again?

Leila rushed to walk out of the private room. Before calling a taxi, Arthur’s car drove over. He seemed worried about her. He was thinking if Leila and Vincent had left together, then he would have drove away by himself. If she hadn’t, he would send her back when she came out.

Seeing her walking out alone, Arthur sighed and realized the conversation didn’t go well! It made him anxious.

"Leila, get in the car! I'll drop you off!" Arthur slid down the window.

Leila was surprised when the car stopped by her side. "You didn't leave?"

"I am worrying about you!"

Leila felt she was being taken good care of, and saw Vincent chasing out from the private room. She was afraid that he would not let her go, so she immediately got into the car. "Arthur, hurry up, let’s go!"

Seeing her getting into Arthur's car, Vincent's sight became icy cold, he suddenly turned around, and walked towards his car.

Until the car drove out for a long time and they made sure that no car was behind them, Leila lowered her head and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Arthur!"

Arthur was surprised but asked softly, "Why do you say sorry?"

Leila seemed so miserable, and she bit her lower lip, "you helped me every time I was in trouble as well as my sister. I’m sorry to get you into this!"

"It's nothing, don’t say that!" Arthur waved his hand.

After a long silence, she whispered, "Arthur, I want to leave F city!"

Arthur felt a tingling pain in his chest and asked her in a deep voice, "Why are you leaving?"

Leila tasted a bitterness in her mouth and her voice was bleak, "To avoid him. Since my father’s condition is stable now and my mother can take care of my father. I want to leave for a while and raise my baby in peace. I don't want to be disturbed!"

"He still didn't believe in you?" Arthur raised his eyebrows.

Turning her head around and she looked at Arthur's handsome face, she shook her head. "No!"

"Damn it!" Arthur hit on the steering wheel while driving the car.

Leila was startled, thinking it was so sweet that Arthur could still believe in her. However, Vincent didn't, she couldn’t sallow the bitterness. Leila then asked softly after seeing Arthur’s anger, “Arthur, why would you believe me?"

Arthur's pupil shrank slightly, after a while, the car braked suddenly and stopped on the side of the road. He turned his head and looked at Leila, "Leila, actually I—"

‘I love you! That is why I believe in you! But I am afraid, I am afraid it would ruin everything after I tell you! But I want to tell you my true feelings, you don’t know how much I want to tell you my feelings immediately.’

Arthur paused what he was about to say in his throat. He looked at Leila. He felt that he was sentenced to death in terms of love. He shook his head when he saw Leila was looking at him in surprise. Turning his face, an odd smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, I believe in you, without any reason!"
