A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 319 You Perform Well

He behaved boldly in the public area, what the hell was he doing?

Leila allowed him to kiss her while she was in a daze but this scene cracked another man’s heart. There were a lot of people depressed even if they did not watch the television!

After Vincent kissed her, he smiled slightly at the camera, he looked charming.

The media was off work.

Vincent had to settle something and left for a while. Leila sat on the sofa at the corner.

Arthur walked towards her, his expression was awkward, “You perform well tonight!”

Leila did not have mood, she just nodded and massaged her brow. She looked extremely tired.

“Are you tired?”

“Yes!” Leila nodded, “Don’t you?”

“I’m tired, I just greet you. I will go home now!” Arthur said.

“Oh! Ok, safe drive!”

Arthur did not say much and left. When Leila watched him leaving, she could feel that he was somehow depressed. Did Arthur ever have such a gloomy moment? She was surprised.

She turned around and looked for Vincent. She did not find him and stood up. Some guests had left, including Nora and Pippa.

She kept searching for him. When she walked out of the hall, she could hear the conversation from a nearby place. It seemed to come from the lounge that she rest previously.

She could hear Vincent saying, “Tomorrow’s headline will be the scene of me kissing Leila…Mom, do you satisfy with this hype? We have all the news under control.”

Nora’s voice was heard, “Whatever, does Brian watch the news today?”

“He will watch it,” Vincent said.

“Mom, it is unfair to Leila!” Pippa’s voice was heard too.

“I don’t care. She should blame herself to be the daughter of Brian!”

Leila listened to them in a daze. She knew that it must be some problems, she knew that they have planned for something but she did not expect him to kiss her in front of the media. It was just hype.

Her face was as pale as a paper, her lips turned pale as well.

She turned around and walked away. In the hall, she walked to the side and took the wine glass that held by the server who walked about with a tray. She sipped the red wine of the glass and looked at the luxurious chandelier. She raised her head, did not want her tears to fall.

After drinking a glass of wine, Leila breathed deeply. Then, she showed a faint smile. In fact, it was just hype. She turned around and left.

After Leila went downstairs, she got up a taxi.

Arthur drove his car out of the carpark at the moment, he could see the silhouette in a yellow dress got up the taxi from far away. He frowned slightly and followed the taxi with his Ferrari.

Why she came out alone? She got up the taxi in a formal dress in the midnight, didn’t she worry about her safety? Arthur could not help but follow her.

The car moved towards the direction of the seaside. Arthur saw Leila getting down the car by the seaside. She took off her high heels and walked towards the beach.

He could not help but get down his car.

Leila walked on the soft beach alone, her heart cracked. Her phone rang but she did not want to pick up the call. However, her phone kept ringing. She took out her phone, it was Vincent. She moved her lips and smiled, picked up the call.

Vincent’s low voice was heard via the phone, “Where’re you?”

Leila wanted to laugh, was it important for him to know where she was? Leila’s sights were deepened, her mind was perplexed, she was helpless and extremely depressed. Her self-esteem was badly hurt, in fact it was just a hype, “I want to divorce!”

“Leila!” Vincent’s voice became deeper, “Repeat again.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“He he…We have to divorce one day, let it be tomorrow. Let’s meet at the marriage registry office tomorrow, I want to divorce!” Leila’s tone was extremely cold.

“Leila!” He called her name again coldly to imply his discontent. He did not expect her to say so. The sound of the sea breeze could be heard clearly via the phone.

“I know my name is Leila, don’t emphasize it!” Leila threw tantrum as well.

Vincent changed his expression, “Where’re you?”

“Vincent, I’m really fed up with you. Your evil plan, your mother and your evil plan, I don’t want to care. I misunderstand, I misunderstand that you are slightly fond of me but I am wrong. In fact it is just hype. Whatever you do is planned and laid out, I am not exempted from your plan. I always have a fantasy in

my mind, I always have fantasy on you. However, from now onwards, I have decided that I will not tolerate you anymore because you don’t deserve it.”

Leila wiped away her tears that fell uncontrollably, “I want to divorce!”

Her tears were getting more and more, she kept wiping away the tears but the tears flowed out continuously.

“Where are you?” Vincent showed a tense face and interrupted her words.

“Vincent, do you know that you have hurt me badly? I think whatever you do gently to me is voluntary for the past two months and for just now. However, it is just hype, you crack my heart!”

Why was she so silly that she trusted him again? His gentleness was always a mean, she knew it early right? How could she be so silly and confident that she was able to solve the matter between his father and him? If they have hatreds for each other, let them solve it by themselves. She was not a sage, she was just a fool, a ridiculous stupid fool!

Vincent held his phone tightly with a dumbfounded expression, he showed a gloomy face.

“Vincent, I am fed up with you, I don’t want to tolerate with you anymore!” Leila curved her lips, her sights looked complicated. She smiled slightly but scolded loudly, “If you don’t want to divorce, I will hold a press conference to inform the reporter that I want to divorce. I don’t want to care about the matter between your mother and my father. Today, I just want to inform you that I want to divorce!”

After saying those words, Leila turned off her phone. She did not want to listen to Vincent’s words.

She faced the sea alone and turned her head to look at the colourful and lively city. She heard the growling sound of the wave silently and listened to the sound of the sea breeze that could blow people away. Out of the blue, she felt that she was lonely and always stayed alone.

Facing the deep and surging sea, she had a strong feeling suddenly. If she walked towards it, could she stop everything?

No love!

No hatred!

Since then, she would not feel lonely.

She would not owe her mother for her love, she would not owe her aunt for her assistance. She would not even suffer from love and hatred, she would not be the controlled puppet by others. She could retrieve her freedom and her self-esteem…

But could she jump?

She knew that she could not do it but the sudden thought made her sad. Leila, in fact you were so weak.

“Ah——Why——” Leila faced the sea and shouted suddenly, “Why——”

Arthur heard the conversation between her and Vincent from not far away. He stood at the beach and listened to her shouting voice. Why did she shout loudly and continuously? He could not walk towards her. She was a pitiful woman, she should not suffer everything, she did not know anything at all.

Arthur looked at her shouting silhouette, he froze and did not walk forwards because he knew that everyone had the moment that they felt extremely stressful. She went to the seaside as she didn’t want anyone to know that she was almost collapsed.

He did not want to walk forwards because he knew that she was crying. She was crying badly.

After Leila shouted for a while, she finally stopped. She breathed deeply and smiled, how could she behave like a crazy woman? Even if she was in her darkest and saddest moment, she should not do it. She shook her head and felt a lot better.

She squatted on the beach and surrounded herself with her arms. She felt the sea breeze caressing her. Although it was a bit cold, she was no longer suffering.

Out of the blue, the smell of tobacco was smelt.

Leila was shocked, she turned around suspiciously. She saw Arthur standing nearby, his tall body stood behind her leisurely with a distance of 5m. He was holding a cigarette, this was the first time she saw him smoking.

The moonlight reflected his slant shadow. The night was dark, his cigarette shined when the wind blew, it looked like a neon lamp.

Leila was stunned when she saw Arthur at the beach suddenly. Then, she responded and asked, “Why are you here?”

Arthur smoked, the white smoke that he exhaled was blown away by the wind. Then, he walked towards her leisurely.

“He he, because of an amazing scene. I saw a pretty little fox getting up the taxi suddenly. I was curious, I think fox should not appear in this big city but I really saw it. No choice, I followed it due to my curiosity but I was failed to follow it but I saw you!” Arthur sat beside her.

“Your joke is not funny!” Leila knew that he had seen her embarrassing moment, she was annoyed.

“Yes, I am not here to joke. I want to look for the little fox and bring her back stealthily!” He said it with a flirting tone.

Leila felt a sense of warmth, she looked at him from the side. His side face was good-looking, he had deep eyes that did not have an end. He smoked and threw the cigarette onto the beach, he turned his head to look at her.

“Have you finished abreacting? If you feel better, let’s go home, I will send you!”

“No!” Leila shook her head.

“Do you want to dry the fish here?” Arthur was kidding but his tone was sympathetic, “I tell you, you might be raped and killed before you dry the fish. You don’t cry at the moment!”

Leila was shocked, she turned around and rubbed her painful eyes, “I don’t have a home!”

Arthur was startled, he gazed at her deeply, as if she was the only one in his eyes.

“Poor kid!”

“I am not pitiful!” Leila shook her head and denied it, “I never feel that I am pitiful, you don’t think it that way too. I think it is normal in this society. I am not strong enough so I will get hurt easily. But after I go through it, I will appreciate anyone who hurts me before because they make me stronger! Therefore, you don’t feel that I am pitiful, it is just part of my journey. I appreciate misery!”

“Eh!” Arthur opened his mouth slightly, did not know what to say.

Leila analysed herself for the first time. It was the first time for her to say out her opinion to deal with problems. After saying that, she smiled, “Do you think that I am foolish?”

“No!” Arthur shook his head, “I think I am the foolish one! I am so foolish! You’re strong!”

“He he…” they smiled to each other. Leila patted her leg, “Alright, I have to go back now. How about you?”

“You will go back to the White Family?” Arthur was dumbfounded.

Leila shook her head, “No, I will go to the hotel!”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to see others tonight!”
