A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 419

“But we really aren’t related now!” She pouted and said, “We are divorced and I no longer belong to you, so I don’t have any obligation to be with you!”

“Leila!” Vincent shouted in a low voice and glared at Leila with a displeasure look that was shown by his tightly furrowed eyebrows.

“Hmm…” Leila found he was so cute that she then reached out to wrap her arms around his waist while burying her small face in his chest. “I’m teasing you!”

“What a bad girl! Do you miss me?” Vincent asked in a low and husky voice as his eyebrows stretched out.

Leila bit her lip and nodded as this topic really embarrassed her. “Mr. White, let’s not do this now as Renee is hospitalized and Pippa has been taken away by the police, how can we…”

Vincent’s eyes looked towards the building over there which was close to the Sea Hotel and Arthur lived nearby, thinking that he could come back in the evening to discuss the matter related to Pippa. “Let’s go to the apartment!”

Leila was stunned upon hearing this, her beautiful face was flushed red and her eyes were filled with astonishment. “Let’s go to the police station to visit Pippa first!”

As she was saying, the phone rang.

Vincent’s dark eyes looked serious, he snorted coldly before answering the phone, “Who is it?”

“Are you Mr. White? We are calling from F City Police Station Rose Road Branch, please come and record a statement as we need testimony!”

“It’s the police!” Vincent said as he hung up the phone. “It seems that we cannot rest tonight!”

Leila’s phone rang too and it was also from the police, who asked her to go to the police office to record a statement.

“Let’s go!” Vincent held her hand.

It was two o’clock late at night after they finished recording the statement at the police station.

Leila told the police what she had seen without hiding any truth from the facts.

Vincent, Leila, Arthur and Charles stood at the door when they left the police station. Arthur sighed, “It really exhausts me! I have been tossing and turning for almost six to seven hours !”

“I’m worried that Pippa is out of control!” Charles said in a deep voice.

“Ask Ted to bail her out and take her to the hospital!” Vincent called his lawyer and instructed him to the police station in the midnight.

“Vincent, I’m leaving, I’m quite worried about your mother as she is unusually quiet tonight…”

“I go and check it out!” Vincent spoke to Arthur in a deep voice. “You take Leila to the Sea Hotel and I’ll come afterwards.”

Arthur nodded his head. “Alright! Leila, go with me! I’m so sleepy! Is Renee alright?”

“Nothing serious, just need to take care of her body well!”

As Vincent was leaving, he held Leila’s hand and whispered in her ear, “I’ll be back soon! Don’t talk too much with Arthur!”

Leila was so helpless and embarrassed that Vincent then turned around and left in satisfaction.

In the car, Arthur glanced at Leila beside him. “So you two are good again?”

“Hum!” Leila nodded her head.

“That’s good!” Arthur turned his eyes to the road ahead.

Both of them then turned silent.

Leila didn’t say anything even though the atmosphere was a little awkward.

In such a dark night, Arthur’s clear eyes showed a hint of sadness.

After parking the car, Arthur said, “Let’s go to my place first! I have a surprise for you!”

“What kind of surprise?”

“We will find out when we go! You can go upstairs again when Vincent is back!”

“Tell me first about the surprise!” Leila looked at the time and it was already three o’clock in the midnight.

Leila’s phone suddenly rang and it was an unfamiliar number. Leila glanced at Arthur before she picked up the phone and gently said "hello".

“This is a new number.” The low male voice on the other end of the line startled her.

Leila obediently replied to him with an "oh" before the other end said, “Have you reached there? Go upstairs when you get there. I’ll be back soon, wait for me after taking a shower!”

Leila went speechless and her face was blushed as Vincent said such ambiguous words in front of Arthur, yet, she could only answer, “Got it!”

“Good girl!” The phone hung up.

The phone call made by Vincent made Leila’s originally calm heart fluttered. Even after she went into the elevator, she was still blushing.

Arthur could guess what was going on and he didn’t say much.

The elevator rose slowly and when it stopped, Leila couldn’t hold herself and asked. “Anyway what is the surprise? Can’t we see it tomorrow?”

“It’s better today, I think you’ll want to see it!” Arthur said in a mysterious manner.

Leila then shook her head helplessly as his words made her curious, “Is there really any surprise as you are so secretive?”

Leila was so touched that she didn’t know how to thank him and her sister seemed to have been here with him for more than a couple days, he had actually helped her quietly!

“Sister, I’m sorry! I know nothing I can say to make up for the harm that Dad and Mum have brought to you and Aunt, but since the past is over, shall we start over?”

“No way!”

Three of them sat on the sofa, Arthur drank the water before Macey took the empty cup while ignoring Leila’s apology, she then looked at Arthur and asked, “Are you still drinking?”

“Nope, I’m sleepy, you two talked about it! I would suggest you go overseas!” Arthur spoke.

“Mr. White thinks just the same!” Leila hurriedly spoke up.

Upon mentioning Vincent, Macey’s eyes dimmed and she frowned. “He’s not qualified to control my affairs! Leila, you are not qualified either!”

Leila’s heart dimly ached and she lowered her head. “Sister, I’m sorry!”

Arthur raised his eyebrows and looked at Macey.

“Don’t look at me like that as this is how I am, I am clear in my grudges and I don’t want to say anything else!” Macey said to Arthur.

He knew that she was blaming Vincent and Leila, “Macey, this is the way life is, full of unpredictable variables. In many cases, it is not under our control, all we can do is to accept it silently and become open-minded. If everyone walks into a dead end, then nothing beautiful and true is going to happen in our lives.”

“I can’t convince myself!” Macey parted her face.

“Sister, no matter what happens, just come back home with me. Dad is worried about you as you are his beloved daughter!” Leila always remembered how her father had pinned his hopes on Macey before the truth was told.

“No, I’m not going back!” Macey shook her head.

“I’ve thought of a solution!” Arthur suddenly spoke.

“What is the solution?” Leila asked.

“Hold a press conference to inform the media reporters that the video is synthesized!” Arthur rubbed his chin. “That’s the only way to clear her aggrievance! Of course, it may not work!”

“No need!” Macey shook her head. “I don’t mind it anymore as it is true. It can deceive the world but not my heart. At this point, true or false doesn’t mean anything to me!”

“Sister!” Leila shouted in a low voice.

“You don’t have to worry about my affairs!” Macey lowered her eyes.

“But I think it is good for you in this way!” Arthur whispered.

“I don’t need it anymore! Arthur, do you think I still need excuses to justify myself? Those are only done for others to see! I don’t need it anymore as it can deceive others but not my heart! I’m just a broken shoe in others’ eyes, I don’t care about it anymore and I don’t need any reputation as well!” She uttered these words with an expressionless face.
