A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 324

“Don’t you really want to know the man behind?” Theodore Hall frowned. He sounded a little suspicious as if he was waiting for a result. His gaze seemed like a sharp knife to lock her down.

Leila moved her sight aside for a while and then looked back at him. She said lightly, “What can I do even if I knew? Can we go back in time?”

“3 years ago, who was the person who frequently visited you in your dormitory? Because the person who came to find you, he ended up getting closer with the maid, who was this person? Don’t you remember?” Theodore sounded a little pain as it flowed into Leila’s ear.

Leila frowned as her pale face looked calm. Her red and swollen eyes looked a little painful but she raised her head and whispered, “You only need to know it yourself. I have never seen any letter before so I don’t really want to know it anymore.”

“But I always thought that if no one secretly hid the letter that I wrote to you, maybe we would have been together!”

Theodore took a puff as he stared into her eyes.

Leila smiled awkwardly and replied firmly, “Will not!!”

There was a buzzing sound in his head. Theodore swayed a little. He was stunned and felt hurt, it was painful. He squeezed the cigarette in his hand so tight that the butt of the cigarette burned in his palm. It was very hot and he slightly frowned.

Leila noticed his action and stepped forward immediately. “What are you doing? Do you burn yourself? Do you feel hurt?”

She ran up hurriedly and grabbed his hand to pry open with her hands. But Theodore was frowning as he squeezed her hand tightly. The flame was extinguished in his palm as he held it tightly. Naturally, it just burned him at the same time.

His hand was opened by Leila. She was a little worried, “What are you doing? Are you stupid!”

But Theodore smiled and he said, “You still care about me!”

Leila was startled. As she looked at the bubble in his palm, she felt a little helpless. She let go of his hand, and raised her eyes. “Anyone would have cared when facing this situation. I’m a human, not a monster. If you misunderstood about something, I’m terribly sorry. You still have some sense, take care of the injury by yourself. I have to go!”

She did not want to make Theodore misunderstand her.

Just as she was about to open the door of the room, he stretched out his hand from her back and pressed the back of the door to slam it shut.

Her strength was no match for him. She was trapped between the back of the door and his chest in shock. His breath burst over which made her feel afraid and pressured. Her body’s rejection and resistance were so clear and direct.

“Leila, you do care about me, why are you denying?!” Theodore looked down at her.

Leila wanted to pushed him away and shouted hurriedly, “Theodore! What are you doing? You’re my teacher, don’t overstep the boundary, we’re in the school, this is your office, what are you doing?!”

Didn’t he know that he might be used if he was seen by ulterior guys? He would lose his job and she would get involved in a scandal. She did not want something like this to happen. This could hurt her or someone else especially her mother.

“If I knew this would happen, I would never study abroad but rather work in any company after I graduated. If so at least, I could still stay by your side instead of going to the other side of the world. I didn’t have to endure the loneliness while missing you at the same time. I thought that everything that I have done could help me give you happy life in the future. But... but I forgot to take time and space into consideration for they have blocked everything. I’m a loser but I feel unwillingly...” Theodore growled as he bowed his head to kiss her lips.

“Oh...no...” Leila was shocked. Theodore’s lips fell on the corners of Leila’s lips and she dodged immediately.

He went crazy and wanted to kiss her so badly. As they were pulling and pushing with each other, Theodore saw the hickey on the neck under her shirt. That... that was the mark left by a man. A man’s hickey.

“Is this Vincent’s kiss or Arthur’s? Tell me.” Theodore was upset while staring at her.

Leila suddenly bent her legs as she used a lot of strength to resist.

“Ah...” Theodore hugged his lower abdomen and bent down.

“Theodore, that’s enough. It has nothing to do with you. I don’t want to see you again. Please don’t call me into your office in a teacher’s name. If you still do, I will file a complaint to you!” Leila opened the door and walked out after she left such a cold statement.

The moment she walked out of his office, she felt so wronged. She took a deep breath and held back her tears as she tidied her hair and clothes.

The classroom was in a chaos. Everyone was not discussing about the thesis but today’s entertainment headline. “Look, it’s our classmate, Leila. I can’t believe that she’s married!”

Leila heard the discussion as she just stepped on the doorstep.

“That’s right, she’s so charming. Both presidents of the White Group were attracted to her. Do you think if they are having a threesome in the HL Apartment?”

“It’s possible! It’s said that it is the most popular game among presidents now. Oh my god. Gosh!”

“...”

More obscene words were spoken out by her so-called classmates. Leila’s heart felt like tearing apart when even her classmate who stayed with her for four years would say such words. She felt so hurt!

She did not have the courage to walk into the classroom although she did not do anything at all.

At this moment, someone in the classroom said, “What’s wrong with you all, are you gossiping? Leila is not that kind of person!”

That was the voice of the class monitor, Toby Houghton. Unexpectedly, someone spoke out for her. Leila suddenly felt warm. At least, some people believed that she was not that kind of person.

“Ah, Toby do you like Leila? It’s a pity that she doesn’t even like you. She’s the daughter of Brian Hunter. Her husband is Vincent White and her secret lover is Arthur Lane. Even our Professor Hall treats her differently. I heard that she was asked to go to the office just now! Maybe they’re having a tryst now!”

“It doesn’t matter whether you have it or not. It’s illegal to hide someone else’s letter. I plan to call the police!” Leila smiled a little. Her tone remained calm without any hesitation.

Three of them were shocked and stunned. Margot suddenly laughed. “Ha, call the police, Leila. You do know how to joke!”

“If you think I’m joking then let it be! I love joking the most!” Her expression changed and groaned a little. “Since you all mention that I’m the daughter of Brian Hunter and also the wife of Vincent White. Since you have offended me, do you all still want to graduate?”

Their expressions suddenly changed.

Leila chuckled a little. Since she had stayed with Vincent for so long, she did not learn anything but threatening others. The feeling was right.

“Leila, Leila, those letters, those letters aren’t with us. It’s with your sister, Macey!” Margot suddenly spoke out.

Leila was completely stunned. Three years ago, her sister did come to their dormitory often. They often ate together in their dormitory. Sometimes, she would give some little gifts for them, perhaps?

“They did take Leila’s letter!” Someone random shouted.

“Oh my god! What a shame!”

Leila was speechless and suddenly walked out.

The Hunter Family.

Leila saw her mother’s concern when she stepped inside the door. “Lexi, why don’t you pick up the phone?”

“Mom, where’s my sister”

“She’s not at home. She’s in overseas now!” Mabel held on Leila’s hand. “Tell your mom what's going on? Why are you meeting secretly with that vice president?”

“Mum, do you believe that?” Leila raised her eyes and looked directly into her mother’s eyes.

Mabel was startled. “Of course, I don’t believe it. Don’t I know what kind of person is my daughter?”

“Mum!” Of course, Leila rushed into her arms and hugged her mother's neck tightly. She wanted to feel the care and warmth given by her mother.

Mabel was a little surprised and hugged Leila back. “Lexi, I do trust you. Can you tell me what happened? How did you go to the Sea Hotel with the vice president?”
