A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 391

“To be honest, I was doing it for you!” Arthur spoke straightforwardly.

After Leila heard this, her small mouth opened wide in dismay. Seeing such an expression on her face, Arthur let out a sigh. He then smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, saying, “Are you now under pressure? It is not? Is it especially stressful to have a handsome man to back you up?”

Leila lifted her head, looked at the Arthur’s shimmering eyes and frowned, “It is very stressful, but your joke is not funny at all! It is a pity that you are not a lawyer with that mouth of yours. You made me felt so happy when you scolded Vincent’s mother just now!”

A smile appeared on Arthur’s face, “I have helped you by being the bad guy in that situation and you seemed to have done releasing your anger, you should be overjoyed, right?”

“Oh... I’m sorry!” Leila sincerely apologized. “Although I also wanted to give her a scolding, but I just could not do it!”

Arthur understood what Leila’s mind was thinking about. Then, he leaned down and spoke mischievously by Leila’s ear, “Leila, you are a smart girl. You know which statements I said were true and which were jokes. However, I will give you time so that you can find out which statements were just jokes! Bahahaha…”

After saying that, he lifted up his head and laughed out loud. Leila looked at him with some frustration, waited for him to finish laughing, and spoke, “Thank you, Arthur, you will continue being my best friend!”

Hearing Leila said that he was her best friend, he felt sad in his heart, but still smiled and said, “Of course, we are best friends forever!”

However, he still wanted to do something else, but would he have the opportunity?

The elevator door opened and Leila said, “Go in now!”

“Bye!” Arthur blinked and finally got into the elevator.

Leila waited for the elevator door to close, sighed, and then came back.

Mabel looked at her while Brian also looked at her.

Leila was surprised, “What's wrong? Dad, mom?”

“Leila, who is Arthur? Did you want to divorce Vincent because of Arthur?” Mabel hesitantly spoke.

Leila was shocked. “Mom, why did you think in this way? He's my friend!”

“Just now, Vincent came to tell me that he won't divorce you, he doesn't want to care about the previous generation's affairs, he only wants you!” Mabel spoke quietly then she looked at Brian again. “Brian, I don't agree with Leila to divorce him either, unless there are no more feelings between them! However, now that I look at Vincent, I can see that he still has feelings for Leila! So, no matter what kind of feud the Hunter family and the White family have, I still want our daughter to be happy!”

Mabel’s words caused a pain in Leila’s heart. She even almost choked up as she spoke, “Mom, you don't understand!”

Mabel looked at Leila with unblinking eyes as Leila walked over. “Dad, I want to divorce him, I'm tired, I'm really tired!”

Mabel could feel her tiredness. She just sighed as the sorrows in her heart grew. “Only those who don't have feelings will get a divorce, you obviously still have feelings for him, why do you want to divorce him?”

Brian reached out his hand towards Leila. Leila was dumbfounded as she quickly reached out her hand. “Dad?”

Brian shook his head.

“Don't you want me to divorce Vincent?” Leila asked in a soft voice.

Brian nodded his head but then he shook his head.

“Then what is it?”

Brian pointed at Mabel, who naturally understood the situation and spoke, “Your father and I have the same opinion, we will no longer stop you, you can think about it yourself and do whatever you want! Isn't that right, Brian?”

Brian nodded his head.

Leila was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do all of a sudden!

When Leila left the hospital, she met Vincent again downstairs . When she saw him, Leila was a bit shocked. When he saw her, some heaviness could be seen in his eyes. The gloom that had dispersed before came back again. His dazzling eyes were staring at her calm pale face, “Arthur returned, just because for you! Are you happy?”

Leila did not want to talk to him again. She just felt that such a conversation was meaningless and unnecessary. Moreover, it would make her feel tired.

So, she quickly walked away and continued on her journey.

When Vincent saw her treating himself so coldly, he started feeling a bit sad in his heart.

He quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, making her frown as she turned back. He then said in a cold voice, “After falling in love with me, you now want to leave? Leila, you are such a coward, I doubt that the love you claim to have for me in your diary is true or not?”

Boom...

Leila was stunned, how did he know about her diary? She immediately stood in shock there, and her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. “You, how do you know about my diary?”

The diary in that computer contained all the details about her crush, her first love, her only love. She had only ever loved such a man in her life! Now this man was standing in front of her, telling herself that he had read her diary where she had written down all about her crush. Oh my god, her face turned red.

Her hands were sweating from nervousness.

He had always been the man of her dreams! He had always been.

Only, she did not expect this secret to be known by Vincent, she felt embarrassed and ashamed. Yes! She loved him, she always loved him.

In that moment, she was dumbfounded, shocked and stunned! How did he know all about it?

“Vincent, you are not a good person, how could you read my diary? How can you read it?” And her password for the file was his birthday, he actually knew about it already. No wonder he asked her about the password some days ago, so he already knew about the contents of the diary at that time? “So, so what? That was just some immature thoughts I had when I didn't know any better! Now I had already stopped loving you, loving you no more!”

Vincent listened to her heartless words as he walked closer to her and looked at her. He remained silent, as if they were about to die tomorrow. A cold chill seemed to spread up from the bottom of his feet. Vincent’s gloomy face was tense and unbearable sadness could be seen through his cold yet appealing pair of eyes.

As a tall figure slowly walked over, Vincent’s hand which was clenched into a fist trembled slightly, “Immature thoughts, huh, immature thoughts, so you decided to just erase your feelings for me?”

Leila’s heart ache as she lowered her small face. Fragmented pain could be seen suppressed in the bottom of her eyes as she softly said, “After everything, to say whether I love you or not, is there any meaning to it left?”

“I thought love could make people go on with their life full with determination!”

A bitter smile appeared on Leila’s face. “Loving someone while feeling tired will just make one even more tired in the long run! I just want to free myself from this!”

“Let's go talk in the car!” Seeing that people were coming and going, with some people even noticing them, Vincent reached out and pulled her over to head over to the parking lot.

“No!” Leila shook her head.

Vincent reached out and picked her up, “It’s not up to you!”

“I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere!”

But he still carried her to his car, and the two of them sat in the back seat of the car.

“Why are you always so bossy?! Vincent, you should know, we can never go back to...” Leila sighed deeply, met his eyes and told him seriously, “After today, sometime in the future, I might still look for a man who truly loves me and who I also love to spend my life with. He can be anyone, anyone expect you!”

She looked at Vincent. He was frowning, his eyes were filled with deep emotions such as agitation, pain, aggressiveness and even a little fear. “I forbid it!”

Before she could react, his lips were already touching hers. He forced his lips to press against hers and Leila was unprepared for it. In a moment of surprise, his tongue had already gone into her mouth. With much strength, he snatched away all the air from Leila’s chest.

Moreover, his other hand was holding her hips and his kiss was like a violent storm that made her blood inexplicably heat up.

The moment their lips were pressed together, Leila could not help but feel a shiver run through her body.

Her heart was beating so violently that she had lost the ability to think.

He seemed to be satisfied with her reaction, and he was extremely close to becoming crazy by seeing her trembling.

No one knew how long he kissed her, his lips left hers and he moved closer to her ear where he gently nibbled on it. He then spoke as if he was reciting a curse, “Leila, I know I've wronged you; I know this matter has hurt you! I know how important your loved ones are to you, I know it all, I know what you are thinking in your heart!"

Her tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she pushed him away with all her might. She told herself over and over again that if she continued to love him, she would be ruined. Not by herself, but by her loved ones!

They looked at each other, and her determination made the helplessness and pain in his eyes grow stronger and stronger. “Vincent, you have turned me into someone who’s very passive. Although I still won’t submit myself to humiliation, I have become someone that will turn a blind eye. Our marriage, precisely because before I did not put in too much expectation, so I wasn’t hurt that much. This was also why I could accept all aspects of you, even if others could not do so. But now... now I’m feeling confused again. During the period when I was married to you, I endured unprecedented humiliation and unprecedented aggravation. There was also an unprecedented sense of happiness, but more was a sense of fear. Until this incident happened, my mind had snapped, and a greater sense of fear came along with it. My mind could not think straight anymore and it’s no longer able to see things through. I am afraid! Do you know? I'm really, really scared!”

“Leila ...” he called her softly, his tone was full of pain.

They gazed at each other for a long, long time. “Tell me, tell me what I should do for you to make you just feel happy and not afraid.”

Pain could be seen in his eyes. As his hand caressed her face, she was touched. Even in this moment, she was touched.

“I don't know, I really don't know.” Leila shook his head, “I'm afraid, I'm afraid of you, afraid of your mother, even afraid of Pippa. They used a video to harm my sister, and my father, I do not know what more I can say? I really don't know what your mother wants in order to let go of us; didn't you hear what she said in the hospital room? My dad is already in that state and she still refuses to let go of our family!”

“Leila…” Vincent embraced her, “Is getting a divorce the only solution?”

“I don't know, I just want a divorce now!” Leila was trapped in his arms as she continued murmuring.

Vincent’s grip on her waist tightened. He closed his eyes and tried to cover up the pain by breathing deeply. Finally, he nodded his head and said in a deep, sad tone, “Okay! I get it! I will sign!”

He gradually loosened his grip.

Leila’s heart jerked for a moment, as if something had drained away from her blood. There was only blankness in her mind and her heart was missing a big chunk of something. She then heard him say, “I'll draw up an agreement tomorrow, you can just sign it! I'll send you back now!”
