A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 293

Upon seeing Leila, Coach Koby asked with a tense face, “Why do you learn taekwondo?”

Leila was stunned as she felt as if his gaze was scrutinizing her. She practiced taekwondo in order to deal with Vincent which this idea she thought was really childish, yet she didn’t want to be bullied by him and that’s the reason she must learn self-defense skills.

“I want to strengthen my body!” Leila said proudly even though she knew that it was wrong to lie, she couldn’t tell the coach that it aimed to resist domestic violence.

“I won’t take you as my student!” Coach Koby said calmly.

“Why?” Leila was surprised.

“I don’t like students who lie!”

Leila’s shoulders collapsed. “You know it! Well, I’m trying to protect myself from perverts and I want to learn as fast as I could to deal with perverts who harass me! This time I’m telling the truth!”

Coach Koby pursed his lips and showed a smile around the corner of his mouth. “Well, it’s ok to learn from me but there are few conditions!”

“What are the conditions?” Leila was surprised as the coach had too many problems!

“No quitting halfway. I have a three-month crash course of self-defense class that you can deal with ordinary perverts! Do you want to learn?”

“Oh, really?” Leila got excited suddenly. “It is ok to learn for only three months!”

“Yes, three months is considered a period and as long as you are willing to practice hard, it works well to help you escape from perverts but not to conquer them. If you are unable to escape, I will refund your fee but in these three months, you can’t quit halfway, understand?”

“Understand!” Leila nodded her head vigorously. “Only can be used to escape?”

“Yes!”

“It’s ok to just escape from perverts!” Leila sighed in her heart, nothing could be expected to have a result overnight.

“When do you have time? I can arrange for your learning time!”

“I am only free in the evening! The rest of the time I have to work!”

“Then you can train for two hours a day from 6pm to 8pm, or from 5am to 7am if you don’t have enough time in the evening, anytime you like!”

At this point, Leila was considered to have paid her respects to the master and agreed to start from tomorrow.

After paying the fee and walking out of the Taekwondo hall, Leila saw an evil but handsome face when she looked up.

Her heart trembled as it was the vice president of the White’s Group whom she had met before, Arthur.

Meanwhile, he was walking inside with a casual black garment on his body and his chest half opened which revealed his sexy and firm muscles while his dark eyes flickered with an inquisitive mist when he looked at Leila. “Huh? Little girl, isn’t this Leila? We meet again!”

Leila was embarrassed and stood up immediately, “Sir, I haven’t returned your clothes and I don’t bring them with me this time!”

“It is just a piece of clothing, just forget about it!” Arthur smiled.

“How can that be? I have to return it to you and I really thanked you last time!”

“You’re welcome, if you want to return it, send it here tomorrow morning at six o’clock!” Arthur pointed the taekwondo hall’s door sign. “I’ll be here tomorrow.”

Arthur seemed to be very busy and he went into the taekwondo hall after saying something while Leila had to leave.

There were no classes today and Leila didn’t need to go to work as the next month she was going back to school to prepare for the dissertation defense so Leila did not need to go back to the unit.

As she walked on the street, she was very tired as Vincent’s excessive demands last night made her headache and she had no strength at all, in addition, her legs were in pain.

When she was back to her condo in the Pearl Community and by the time she was just about to enter the stairs, her phone rang and surprisingly it was Macey calling!

“Hello, Macey!”

“Where are you?”

“Anything wrong, Macey?”

“I’m outside the gates of the Municipal Government, come out for a minute, I need to see you!”

“I’m not there, I’ll be there right now within fifteen minutes. Wait for me!” Leila didn’t know what Macey was looking for but she went there immediately.

When she arrived, she saw Macey, perhaps it was Tuesday morning when everyone was at work, there were not many people on the street, even in front of the gates of the Municipal Government and Macey was standing outside the flower bed behind the pavement.

Leila saw Macey was sideways facing her and her beautiful eyebrows were frowning, Leila then walked over quickly. “Sister?”

“Leila!” As soon as Macey saw Leila, she immediately came forward and shook her hand, yet, her sudden change of attitude made Leila a little surprised and a little uneasy too.

“Sister, what do you want to look for?”

“Actually it is nothing, I just want to have dinner with you!” Macey took Leila’s hands and she was very affectionate.

“Oh!” Leila was a little hesitant, “Just to have dinner?”

Leila turned her eyes around and she again heard the child calling him daddy in such a close distance. He looked handsome at first glance as he was very cute looking. She didn’t look closely as she didn’t have the courage so she didn’t know if he looked like Mr. White.

It turned out that Macey asked her to come here just to see Vincent and his son enjoying themselves. It was a pity that Macey didn’t know that she had actually known about this yesterday.

Vincent left with the child, not even glancing at them as he walked away, as if treating them that they didn’t exist.

“That’s his son, his own son!” Macey said.

“His own son!” Leila seemed to repeat. “Alright, I know it!”

“That’s it?”

“What else can it be?” Leila lifted her eyes and looked at Macey, watching her look of dismay, she lowered her head again. “Sister, thank you for your goodwill, there’s nothing I can do about it! He is the one in control and we were controlled by him.”

“That boy’s surname is White, and he calls him Daddy, do you know that? I say that is Vincent’s child, are you foolish, Leila?”

“I know, that is Mr. White’s son! His biological son, you just said it!” Leila remained calm and took another slow bite of her burger.

“I’ll go back and tell Dad!”

“No!” Leila shook her head. “Sister, you should leave this matter alone, pretending you don’t know it!”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to make a big mess!”

“Rubbish!” Macey snorted coldly but there was a smug smile in her eyes. “He is bullying!”

“It’s a blessing to suffer a loss!” Leila remained calm but in fact, she had been sad inside, the only thing was that what else could she do?

“Help me to make a phone call.” Once entering the mall, Vincent didn’t even bother to say anything but lifted the landline in front of the cashier's desk and handing it to Pippa Russell.

“Call who?!” Pippa was a little amused as she had never seen Vincent turn to be so anxious for a few years.

“You said you are Leila’s friend and you look for her. If she was not there…” Vincent thought for a moment and looked up, “If not, ask where she has gone.”

“Got it.” Pippa was a little suspicious, but still picked up the receiver.

It was called to the Hunter family as Vincent had called Leila’s phone but it was switched off. She had been with Macey in the morning and switched her phone off in the afternoon, furthermore there was no one in the Pearl Community, and he didn’t want to contact the Hunter family so he could only ask Pippa to help.
