A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 299 New Hope After a Disastrous Period

“I...” She was startled but not in a hurry to eat. She was feeling awkward and uncomfortable. The way he was made her feel restless.

“Not eating? Unless you want me to use another way to feed you?” He raised his eyebrows wickedly.

“Another way?” Leila did not understand for a while.

Vincent instantly replied, “Mouth to mouth!”

“What...” Leila blushed and crimsoned to her ears. She immediately opened her little mouth and ate the porridge. As she was about to pick up the bowl with her hand but he took it away.

“As I said, I’ll feed you. Don’t move, if you chock, I have to do artificial respiration!”

“Ah!” Her stomach felt pain. Why did he always want to tease her? Why did he always start teasing right after he was mad at her? She just realized that she did not truly know him well.

It was unsure that if this was a love promised from the previous life or the debts owed in this life. Such an entanglement for the past few years made her unable to hide the feeling of hesitation and sadness in her heart, it seemed to be a faint trace. A faint melancholy swept across her heart as it left with a soft sigh. She finally said nothing as she looked at him.

He moved closer, and she could smell the scent of body wash and mixed of tobacco on his body. It felt like a warm breeze which slowly soothed her stomachache.

“Not eating? Do you feel full after looking at me? Am I good-looking? His playful voice made her lower her head quickly and took a small bite of the porridge that he fed her.

Vincent stared at her, his voice was tepid, “What if the child was mine, what would you do?”

“I...” Leila stared closely at the button of his shirt. She spoke gently, “I want to divorce.”

Vincent went silent for a moment. He asked softly, “What if the child wasn’t mine?”

“Really?” She was stunned for a while. She used her little hand to squeeze her stomach under the quilt. She took a deep breath and replied calmly, “My sister mentions that this is your biological son!”

Vincent showed a stern face but it seemed gentle under the light. He muttered, “Can’t you ask yourself?”

There was a glimpse of hope, Leila raised her head.

“Why don’t you verify with me?” He asked back.

“Would you answer if I ask?” Leila replied politely.

He put the bowl back on the coffee table. He did not rush back as he sat down on the sofa. Leila saw his head resting on the sofa.

He took out a cigarette from his suit and lit up a stick casually.

Leila sat up from the bed and had some porridge. Her stomach did not hurt that much as there was some food. She was waiting for him to say something but he did not.

The smell of tobacco floated in the suite and the smoke curled up the room. She heard him saying, “That’s my child!”

There was like a buzzing sound in her head. Leila felt pain in her heart again. She slowly lowered her head as she was startled.

“Although he is not my biological child!” He continued. “But he is better than a biological one.”

Leila was feeling lost. She felt like being brought back from hell to heaven. She slowly raised her head and looked at Vincent on the sofa. He also looked back.

Then she saw a trace of sadness flashed in Vincent’s eyes. He continued, “About the child, don’t ask anymore. That’s all that I can say. Besides, the video is the last copy. I will not threaten you anymore. It is impossible to divorce. At least it wouldn’t come out from you, this is my bottom line. I hope that you don’t cross over it! I’m going to take a shower!”

He put out the cigarette in the ashtray as he finished talking and walked towards the bathroom.

Leila was feeling dull on the bed as she looked down at her little hand which was being bandaged by him. The gauze pad was neat, she felt warm and lifted as she put a smile on her lips. It was like a sun that rose from the gloomy weather after a long time.

She quickly laid down and covered her little face with the quilt. She secretly smiled under it.

He said so much for the first time, it was also the first time he talked so much about himself. He would not even threaten her again saying that the child was not his biological son!

Perhaps this was a good start, wasn’t it? Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Compared to last time, he did not say anything but what happened to that unfamiliar kidnapper? When Leila thought of it, she felt depressed for a while. He asked her to leave Mr. White!

But now everything seemed like a good start that she did not want to leave him anymore!

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. After a while, Vincent finished his shower and wrapped his lower body in a bath towel, and walked out.

Leila pulled down the quilt in panic. She heard him asking, “Does your stomach still hurt?”

She suddenly raised her head and saw him walking towards her. He had an inverted triangular model figure. He was tall and slender without a single trace of fat on his body. He was not completely muscular but with the perfect proportion of muscles. His thick hair stuck on his face while some water dripped from his hair. His eyes were bright. He had a unique and charming aura that could make anyone’s heartbeat fast.

Leila gazed for a while and immediately faced another direction vacillatingly. “It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

“There is some food on the coffee table, just eat some more!” He muttered and walked to the closet to get his clothes.

Leila looked down at her clothes, it was a little dirty.

While she was lying on this bed, compared to herself with this luxurious big bed, she felt depressed. She carefully glanced at Vincent and found out that he was changing his clothes. She instantly blushed.

She got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Vincent changed into his comfortable pyjamas. He did not see Leila when he turned around. The sound of running water coming out from the bathroom made him feel shocked for a while. As he looked at the bathroom door, he walked towards the sofa and lit another cigarette. Something suddenly reminded him, he quickly stood up and walked to the door of the bathroom. He muttered, “Don’t let the wound touches the water!”

The sound of running water suddenly stopped in the bathroom while Leila’s heart beat very fast.

“Can you hear me?”

“Oh! I know!” She replied politely. She smiled as the wound already touched some water.

Vincent moved back to the sofa. After he finished smoking, Leila walked out while wearing a bathrobe. Her little figure inside the bathrobe made her look delicate. This could make everyone unable to resist but to take good care of her.

Vincent glanced for a while, it felt like something sliding through his throat. He quickly diverted his gaze and said, “Change your clothes and let’s go eat something!”

“Oh!” Leila quickly took some clothes. She changed into a long dress which was prepared by him before. He returned to the sofa. As he sat down, she carefully raised her head and looked at him.

As she saw him eating, his posture was very elegant and quiet when he was eating. There was no sound, he looked noble as if he was from a royal family.

“Eat!” He said.

“Okay!” She immediately picked up the bowl and realized that it was a healthy porridge. It had a refreshing taste, and it was very delicious.

Vincent was not talking as both were eating with their heads down.

“Get me a bottle of water!” Vincent lowered his head as he said.

“Okay!” Leila put down her bowl and stood up to get him a bottle of water. When she came back and put the bottle of water in front of Vincent, he was still focusing on eating his noodle. Leila did not say anything. She continued to lower her head. She just wanted to eat and sleep after that because she needed to send some clothes to Arthur. She lowered her head but she did not know that Vincent’s sharp eyes were looking at her.

According to Vincent, he really could not see through this woman. If she was being negligent, why did she have such an innocent pair of eyes?

If she was not being negligent, she gave her first time to someone but she could not tell who the person was! She did not have any boyfriend for the past few years except Theodore whom can be considered as an ambiguous boyfriend.

Last night when he looked for her, he did not see her at all. In the end, he finally got a call from the security saying that she went back. As he was excited to go downstairs and went there but he received a call again that she went out again. He was feeling mad for a while but almost lost his mind.

He was a man, a businessman. It was not good to lose his mind on something. But many things were unavoidable to make him feel furious, especially her first time.

God knew that this annoyed him so much. In his heart, the important thing about a woman was not about how clean she was but the integrity and dignity she had. Didn’t she have any?

Although the aura that was coming out from her was clean and natural, he could not explain what was going on.

Leila quickly finished her porridge and prepared to stand up. She raised her head and saw a pair of sharp eyes staring at her. She was surprised and blushed a little because she felt touched by the way he stared at her. As she felt some messages from his eyes, her heartbeat seemed like missing a few beats. At this moment, there was a sense of emotion that she could not understand but it made people feel worried.

“I’m done!” She said gently.

“I’m done too!” Vincent withdrew his gaze, he stood up and took a cigarette to the bed. He was half lying on the bed with a cigarette in his hand.

Leila was startled. Was she going to sleep with him tonight? She hesitated for a while.

Vincent turned his eyes around at her, she was showing her pure shyness. He immediately felt that something was wrong with him.

Leila stood rigidly beside the sofa and said awkwardly, “I’ll sleep on the sofa!”

“Come here!” Vincent took a puff and patted on the seat lightly beside him.

Leila was shocked for a moment. There was a pair of big eyes staring at her and she was completely blushed. She was hesitant to go over. She couldn’t move as she was afraid.

There was an unknown feeling from his eyes. The child was not his. He said that the child was not his and she just believed him indescribably. He said that he would no longer threaten her. She seemed to relax much more. She did not seem to resist him that much but she still could not sleep on the same bed with him.

“I’m not going to eat you!” He said again as he was showing a trace of impatience.

Leila was still afraid.

He finally got impatient, so he just got out of bed. He walked barefoot over to catch and put her on the bed.

As she laid down on the bed. Just a snap, he pressed the remote control and turned off the lights in the entire room.

“Mr. White...” She sounded rushed and tense.

At this moment, she was feeling so nervous and frightened.

He used his strengths and dragged her into his arms. He hugged her.

“Mr. White...” She yelled gently and was somewhat afraid of what would happen next.

In the dark, her eyes were exceptionally clear and bright which crashed into his sight.

Vincent lowered his head and kissed her lips lingeringly. She was startled as his tongue already slipped into her mouth. Leila weakly grasped the bedsheet with both of her hands.

This kiss was different, she did not know why. Leila was different, it seemed to be mixed with some complicated feelings in it. She felt that the kiss was pure and it did not make her feel so upset. Although her body still felt tight, it seemed to reveal some feelings of desire.

“Does your stomach still hurt?” She could hear him asking in the dark. His lips were pressed against her cheeks.

Leila shook her head. She felt better after eating the porridge.
