A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 287

Vincent followed her gaze and looked over. With a frown, he said, “Okay, we’ll see that one. I’ll buy the ticket. Give us a private box.”

Leila was puzzled. He came out to watch a cartoon and requested to block booking.

Pointing at the poster, he said, “Give us that box. Make sure no one will disturb us.”

As he spoke, he tossed his cred card to the ticket seller. Then he arrogantly held the tickets and walked to see the movie while holding Leila’s hand.

Even after they had sat down and the movie started to play, Leila was still at a loss. How could he accompany her to see a cartoon? Besides, she didn’t request to see the carton, did she?

There were only two of them in the box. It was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breath.

Leila cast a secret glance at Vincent who was sitting next to her. He concentrated on the screen, on which there were commercials. The movie was about to play.

“Why are you looking at me instead of the screen?” asked him in a deep voice.

With a deep frown, he looked quite impatient. He didn’t understand why she had chosen to see the cartoon. “How childish!”

Leila curled her lips helplessly. She didn’t pick up the cartoon.

“Why are you silent? Compared with seeing a movie in our private theatre at home, it nicer to watch it here, isn’t it?”

Leila was startled by his words. She looked at him uneasily. His handsome face looked pure and neat, but there was a trace of gloominess on it. He squinted his sharp eyes, gazing at her.

It turned out that he still minded that she had seen a movie with Theodore before.

Leila was in a daze and didn’t know what to speak. They were in such a big space which was quite luxurious. It was far bigger and more luxurious than the theatre at home, so she felt more comfortable seeing the movie here. The couch was wide and huge, so cozy that she wanted to nap.

Vincent glanced at the commercial on the screen. With an evil and ironic smile on his face, he asked, “Did you also watch the cartoon with another man?”

Leila clenched the hemline of her clothes. She always felt uneasy in his presence.

“Answer me!” Vincent stared at her and snapped, “Which movie did you see with him?”

“Well, we didn’t see a cartoon,” Leila answered in a low voice, biting her lower lip. She felt quite upset, always afraid that she would say something wrong.

“What did you see?”

“In the Mood for Love.” Leila wondered if her words would provoke him.

Pak! The lighter went off and the fire lit up. Leila saw Vincent’s gloomy face. He lit up a cigarette and took a drag.

“Did you like it?”

“Yeah, very much,” she answered honestly.

Suddenly, he reached out to pinch her chin, raising her face to look at him. Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, he had an impulse to lose temper.

“Isn’t In the Mood for Love a porn movie?” he said casually while casting a glance at her and loosened the grip on her chin.

Leila gaped. How could it be a porn movie?

She was speechless. That movie was indeed an art movie.

Vincent added, “You are only allowed to watch cartoons from now on. No porn movies!”

“I didn’t!” Leila wanted to retort him, but she didn’t have the guts.

“Watch the movie. Shut up!” Vincent’s voice was expressionless as if it sounded from afar. The cigarette between his fingers almost burned out. He tossed it on the floor, feeling annoyed for some reason.

Leila looked at the screen, wondering whether she should laugh or cry.

It seemed that except for the cartoons, other movies had become porn movies in his mind, hadn’t they?

As far as Leila knew, since The Lion King was released, it had won the attention and favor of the world and achieved unprecedented success and glory. For a long time, it was the only cartoon movie in film history to enter the top ten box office, becoming the most successful animated film in the history of Disney

Some critics said that this movie had the shadow of the famous Hamlet, which had won many cheers. Therefore, The Lion King's heatwave has swept all over the world. It had been configured into twenty-seven different languages and warmly welcomed by the audience in forty-six countries and regions. It had won the hearts of millions of audiences all over the world.

It was worth mentioning that The Lion King incubated popular music among children and adults -- such as Can You Feel the Love Tonight and Circle of Life, thus enduring and becoming a popular musical film on Broadway.

Although it was a cartoon movie, it was quite attractive. Leila had seen this movie before, but it was during her high school. Recalling the scenes, she should enjoy watching it again.

She watched the screen in silence. From the birth of Simba to Simba was nestling in his parents’ arms, the warm scene attracted Leila as well as Vincent.

He gazed at the screen with his deep eyes. Leila wondered what was on his mind.

She was attracted by his serious look. Sensing that he was quite solemn and different, she tilted her head and looked at him.

Vincent lit up another cigarette with his lighter. The sound of opening the light lid was quite clear. He took a drag and exhaled white smoke.
