A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 282

Leila’s heart throbbed vigorously, and the corner of her eyes were slightly wet. She bit her lips and looked at him unsatisfactorily.

He was suppressing his emotions, but he just frowned and stared at her intensely.

They were standing too close together that they could feel the warm breaths exhaled on each other’s faces.

No one compromised in the end.

But suddenly, Vincent lowered his head and kissed her violently again. He changed the topic, “Make a choice between the Mabel family and me. Who would you choose?”

“Why are you forcing like this?” She widened her eyes, “I don’t want to choose. I’m not choosing anyone!”

Vincent held her hand and embraced her tightly. He suddenly whispered in her ear, “Good girl, I’ll make you choose me. You can only choose me!”

Leila was stunned. Vincent gently held her in his arms as his warm breath exhaled on her ears. He murmured with a gentle tone, “You have no choice! I won’t touch you yet, at least not now!”

Leila’s pale face regained some colour, but she did not respond. She just stood still over there. He let go of his hands, “You’re not allowed to see any man late at night from now on. You can’t date them, let alone watch movies with another man.”

Leila was dumbfounded, “I didn’t watch movies with a man!”

“You can’t do that three years ago either!”

“But you were still my sister’s boyfriend three years ago!”

“I’m your man now!” He casually said with his especially bright eyes.

“You’re still the man of another woman, not mine!” She wanted him to be only hers, but he would never belong to her. She didn’t like this kind of unfair treatment.

He raised his eyebrow and the corner of his lips suddenly tipped into a smile, “Are you jealous?”

“Who’s jealous?” She immediately denied.

He sat up and pulled her up as well. Then, he took his clothes at the side and covered it on her.

Leila lowered her head and said nothing. He walked towards the coffee table by the couch and picked up a cigarette to smoke. The smell of tobacco drifted towards her, “I’ve already sent the computer to your dormitory!”

“What?” She immediately stood up in dismay, “When?”

“After you’ve called me.” He turned around.

“Then why did you call me here?”

“Because I haven’t had any woman here for more than a week!” He said.

“...” Did she hear it wrong? She thought about it for a while and felt unexpected.

“I want you, but you don’t want me! I don’t want to be a rapist!” Leila listened to him teasing her, “Are you afraid of me? Was that night really too terrible for you?”

She pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

That night wasn’t just terrible, in fact it was awfully terrible. The pain she felt was unbearable. It wasn’t sex, it was death!

“Go change your clothes. I’ll take you out for dinner!”

“Change my clothes?” Her small hand subconsciously grasped his suit as she looked at the torn T-shirt on the ground, “I don’t have any clothes!”

He had torn all her clothes. Where could she change it?

He turned around, “Go look in the closet over there!”

She was stunned for a moment before walking towards the closet. She felt reluctant, but she still stood up and walked over. When she opened the closet, she was startled to see the clothes in the closet. There were at least ten dresses hanging in it, and each of them seemed extremely expensive.

“This, what is this about?”

Vincent walked over, “My woman would never be lack of clothes!”

Vincent’s words sounded behind her. His voice was hoarse, but certain.

Leila was stunned and almost fled away. She didn’t know how to face him!

“Go change!” He said again.

She casually took one of the dresses and ran into the bathroom. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.

“Ahh... this is insane!” Leila shook her head and spoke to herself.

‘Oh god! This was really insane! Who could stand it if he was gentle to me now and treated me violently the next second?

Vincent, what on earth did you want to not torture me?’

Leila was lost in mind for a moment. It was as unrealistic as stepping on the clouds.

In the mirror, she saw her red and swollen lips. It hurt so much! Her eyes were lost and her cheeks flustered, as if she had experienced a passionate moment. He was angry. She knew Theodore was the reason behind his anger, and the Mabel family too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked her that today.

Deciding between these two options, she couldn’t choose!

But just now, she could clearly feel the loneliness, insanity and a trace of panic from him. Was there even a thing in this world that he couldn’t control?

After changing her clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror and organized her hair. Then, she walked out rigidly and held his suit in her hand.

Vincent turned around and saw her coming out from the bathroom. The elegant long dress closely fitted her body, making her body even more beautiful. Her long hair was a little messy, and it was sticking on her red cheeks. Her big and bright eyes rigidly looked at him.

“Come here!” He put an alluring smile on his face and said in a low voice.

She walked towards him and handed over his suit to him first. The suit was blocking between them, while he put his hands around her shoulder and brought her into his arms, “So beautiful!”

She stiffened her body, “Yeah, this dress is indeed beautiful. Is it particularly expensive?”

He was startled. He meant her, not the dress! But obviously, Leila had misunderstood!

“Haha.” He laughed pleasantly with his low voice.

Leila raised her head in surprise, “What are you laughing at?”

“Dumb woman!” He stared into her eyes and snorted.

However, she had a misconception. She felt his tone was loving. Leila was slightly surprised and annoyed. Vincent seemed a little different than before now. She could clearly feel his change, but she couldn’t say anything wrong.

When they got into the car, Vincent helped her to fasten her seatbelt. She held her hands and said nervously, “Could you not be like this again in the future?

“Like how?” He frowned.

“Don’t be so scary!” She was really afraid of his violent side.

“Am I scary?” He looked at her little face, “Which part of me are you scared of?”

She felt disappointed, “I won’t betray you. At least when we’re still married, I won’t fool around. Please believe me. But if you have fallen for another woman, don’t mess with me anymore. I don’t like to be treated this way. Please respect me, okay?”

She lowered her head and slowly said her thoughts out. She was actually an emotional woman, in fact she was extremely emotional.

“Don’t I respect you enough?” He raised his brows again and started the car. He stared into her eyes, “Do you think there is a man like me? Other man would have abused you a long time ago! No man in this world would be able to tolerate his wife’s overt betrayal!”

“I...” Leila wanted to deny, but she halted when the words reached her mouth. She wanted to say that she didn’t betray him, but... how should she say it?

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing! I have nothing to say!” She murmured and sighed casually.

The car travelled on the road and crossed many streets. Leila didn’t know where they were. She didn’t ask either, because she knew it would be pointless to ask since Vincent had always been a dominant player.

She didn’t expect that he would be driving home.

It turned out that...

He was bringing her back for dinner with the Mabel family.

She was a little stunned.

“What’s wrong? Do you not want to eat at home?” He parked the car and stared at her.

“It’s not that! I was just too surprised!” She muttered.

“Let’s go!” He unbuckled the seatbelt.

They got out of the car together. When Leila was still a little confused, he directly walked over and held her small hand into the house. Leila wanted to pull her hand back, but Vincent didn’t want to let go of her hand. He tightly grabbed her hand and walked straight into the door together.

When Mabel saw Vincent entering the door with Leila, she immediately grinned happily. All her uncertainties and worries vanished in an instant.

Vincent politely greeted Mabel when he saw her, “Mom, how are you?”

“Hello, Vincent! I’m doing fine!” Mabel almost fell into tears.

Leila was really dumbfounded at this moment. It was the first time he had stepped into her house after they got married for more than a month. It was also the first time they appeared together in front of her family.

“Mommy!”

“Who’s here?” Brian’s voice sounded from inside, “Oh, it’s Vincent and Leila. Come in!”

Vincent generously walked into the house while holding Leila’s hand. Mabel smiled even brighter now. This was the scene that she wanted to see the most!

“I’ll make tea!” She enthusiastically ran to find some good tea leaves.

“Leila, go help Mom out!” Vincent let go of her hand. Leila followed her mother, but she couldn’t help turning around to look at him. She saw Vincent’s eyes intersecting with her father’s gaze, and a guilty expression flashed on her father’s face. Vincent’s gaze was so sharp that it seemed provocative and meaningful.

For a moment, Leila felt uneasy and she thought of what he said about choosing between him and the Mabel family! What exactly did he mean?

“How are you?” Vincent did not address him and he only said such a sentence to his father in law.

“Let’s go to the study room.” Brian smiled and said to Mabel and Leila, “Call us when the food is ready!”

With that, the two of them went upstairs and entered the study room.

Leila had always felt strange, but she didn’t know what was strange about it. She was lost in thought as she looked at their back that were going upstairs.

Mabel walked over and elbowed her. She asked mysteriously, “You two seemed to have a good relationship. Mommy can finally be relieved! Thank goodness!”

“Err!” Leila was powerless, but she didn’t want her mother to worry. She learned to only report the good but not the sorrow since young, because she was afraid her mother would be worried, “Yes, we’re fine! Mommy, you don’t have to be worried anymore. By the way, where’s Macey?”

When she mentioned Macey, Mabel’s face was full of sorrow, “I haven’t seen your sister recently. We don’t even know where she has gone to. Your father is really angry, but he couldn’t find her anywhere!”

“Has she always been like this?”

“Yes! Ever since that happened, she had been like this. I didn’t know what she was thinking. It’s useless for me to persuade her! Forget it. It’s rare to have you and Vincent back home, I’ll prepare dinner immediately!”

“Let me help you, Mommy!” Macey was no longer mentioned for a while.

They had finished preparing the dishes, but Brian and Vincent were still in the study room. It had been an hour, “Mommy, I’ll go call Dad and Mr White for dinner!”

“You two are married, why are you still calling him Mr White?”

“I’m used to calling him that! He actually asked me to call him by his nickname, but I always forgot about it!” Leila forced a smile. Then, she untied her apron and went to the study room on the second floor.

When she got to the door, she was about to raise her hand and knocked on the door when she heard her father’s voice sounded inside, “I have nothing to say about this. She’s my daughter, of course she has to serve the Mabel family. I will not make myself fall. Even if you’re from the White family, I won’t allow myself to fall like this!”
