A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 837 Single for a Long Time

Apple juice tasted not bad. Rae smiled, "Thank you, Captain!"

"You're welcome!" Marcel said and took out his phone.

Rae saw that he was using his phone. She didn't know what he’s doing, she didn’t say anything. She took a teacup and wanted to drink some tea, suddenly, Marcel said, “Help me rinse the cutleries to use later! Wash yours too!”

Erm!

Germophobia for cleaning!!!

Rae knew about his germophobia for cleaning, so she quickly helped Marcel to wash the cutleries and chopsticks with hot tea. After washing, she poured the tea and put it in front of him. He looked down at the phone and lifted the teacup and took a sip.

Rae had no choice but to sit quietly opposite Marcel. She didn't say anything and didn't dare to ask where to go.

Her face was quiet and calm but her heart was very anxious.

Dining with this handsome man was her greatest wish, but when this wish came true, she felt really worried.

She was presenting herself as Rae at this moment and she had to be careful all the time.

Although the Baxter family was also prominent in City B, Rae felt very tired and lonely.

Marcel fiddled with the phone in his hand. He glanced at the woman opposite of him and saw that she was not focusing on him. He touched the phone with his hand and looked at her for a long time.

Right at this moment, Rae looked up, their eyes met and both of them were stunned.

Marcel lowered his head again.

Rae also lowered her head and took out her phone. She wanted to take a picture of his handsome face but she didn't have the guts to do it. So she just turned on her phone to surf the internet.

Marcel looked up again and saw Rae's slender fair fingers holding the mobile phone.

He squinted and stared at her face. His stare changed a few times. Suddenly, he asked her in a serious mode, "Rae, don't you have anything you want to say?"

Rae was stunned and looked up at Marcel’s eyes. She didn't know why he said that. She tried to see the meaning from his deep eyes.

But the eyes were so enigmatic that she didn't know how to infer the meaning of his words.

She couldn't see anything, and she couldn't think of what to say?

She could only smile awkwardly and asked boldly, "Captain, what do you think I should say?"

For a moment, it was very quiet. They just looked at each other and evaluated each other’s minds. Their minds and thoughts were different. The sun shone on them, like a golden ray on their bodies, they looked handsome and pretty.

It felt like a century had passed, they just kept looking at each other.

Rae felt something strange was rising between them, it felt a little ambiguous, a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the waiter served the food, interrupting the embarrassing and quiet moment.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Marcel waited for the waiter to walk away, then he suddenly laughed. His laughter sounded cheerful and he said, "I mean the night before, when I just came here! We met!”

When Rae heard him mentioning that night, suddenly she felt that she seemed to be lying to herself. She should have talked about that thing immediately, because Marcel helped her that night.

But she thought that if he didn't mention it, it meant he didn't remember it. She didn't expect that he remembered what happened that night.

Rae lifted her cup, sipped her tea and said with a smile, "It was you, Captain who helped me that night. I thought you didn't see clearly that it was me that night. Thank you. I'll treat you to this meal as a thank you!"

Marcel also didn't say anything to refuse her. He picked up the chopsticks and asked in a chill way, "Someone was following you that night!"

"Yes!" Rae nodded.

"Do you know who it was?"

"Nobody has followed me since then, so I don't know who it is!" Rae also felt confused, “Maybe I've been a policewoman for a long time and offended a lot of people, so the enemy has come to find me!”

Marcel frowned, "You’ve offended a lot of people?"

"Not many, I suppose." Rae shook her head, "When I’m handling cases at work, sometimes I can't be kind, so it's hard to avoid offending people!"

"No personal enmity?" Marcel squinted and asked.

Rae was very sensitive, she moved her eyebrows and eyes then she looked down, “I don’t think so!”

The so-called personal enmity would be the enmity that could not be sorted out!

If she had been found anything wrong, she was afraid that she would be accused!

She had already gone this far and there was no way back.

Although Rae was physically and mentally exhausted, she couldn't help but go on.

Seeing her becoming upset and depressed in just a second, Marcel looked at her, her thin shoulder seemed to bear too many things, but it made her look proud and strong.

Marcel's eyes flickered a sense of struggling, after being silent for a long time, he said, “I will send you home tonight!"

Rae was stunned. She didn't even dare to breathe. He wanted to send her home, she should be polite and reject him because she didn’t want to trouble him.

"No, I'll be fine!" Rae still felt that she should refuse him.

Marcel frowned and seemed to be a little impatient, "I live very close to you and I’m just letting you off on the way."

Hearing what Marcel said, Rae had to ask, "Where do you live, Captain?"

"The street opposite you, InterContinental Century City!"

InterContinental Century City was a high-end residential area. It was only one street away from Rae's place, but one was like paradise and another was like hell.

Rae lived in a crowded area, where drunkards and peddlers abound, and the management there was loose while InterContinental Century City was a high-end residential area where you needed an access card to go in and out the area.

"Taking the bus home is convenient for me too!" Rae refused again.

"I'll send you back if you work overtime till late evening, for the rest of the time, it is up to you how you want to go home!" Marcel also took a step back. Indeed, he was a little abrupt. After all, they didn't know each other very well. At least he didn't seem to know her very well.

"Alright!" Rae saw that the way Marcel said it was like giving an order, he was so insisting that she couldn’t refuse him, she nodded in the end, “Thank you, Captain!” "Eat!" Marcel picked up the chopsticks and was already eating.

Rae picked up the chopsticks and started eating. When she ate, she just ate without taking care of her image. She didn't seem lady-like. She ate several mouthfuls in one breath.

Marcel looked at the lady who was sitting opposite him and eating happily. Her youthful face seemed calm and beautiful, she was so beautiful that he couldn’t believe his eyes. Her flawless, smooth skin, a pair of soulful eyes with a glimpse of sadness, they looked clear and calm with a hint of sadness, which seemed even more contradictory.

Rae!

This time, Marcel checked out on Rae in a serious way. Every move, from head to toe, he observed Rae carefully.

After observing for the whole day, he was a little confused. Could she be that kind of woman?

For the first time in so many years, he took a good look at a woman with his heart. He seemed to want to see something, but he didn't find anything in the end. He just felt very confused.

"Captain, don’t you want to eat?" Rae looked up to see that Marcel had stopped eating and looked at her in a daze. His eyes flicked a undescribable light. He seemed a little confused and in a daze.

Marcel suddenly came back to his mind by her words, his facial expression changed slightly. A trace of coldness passed through his eyes, it was just in a blink of an eye. He returned back to his usual mode, he asked casually, "Rae, do you have a boyfriend?"

This was what he wanted to know most. He didn’t want to ask in such a straightforward way, but he didn't think that was his style, so he just went straight in.

Rae was a little puzzled, she never expected Marcel to ask this.

She thought for a while and shook her head slowly, "Not yet!"

Marcel did not seem to believe her, after a while, he asked, “Why didn’t you get a boyfriend?”

Rae's eyes were slightly drooping, she said softly, "There is no suitable one!"

There was someone else in her heart. She couldn't date someone else when she’s in love with another person. She had already felt very tired.

"Oh!” Marcel nodded, "Who was the person to you yesterday?"

Raphael Gill?!

Rae thought of yesterday when Raphael came to find her, Marcel saw it too, so she said, "He’s just a neighbor!"

"Is it?" Marcel’s tone sounded unbelievable, he asked, "Friends since childhood?"

If they had to define it, Rae and Raphael could be considered as they grew up together. But Raphael was a few years older, he’s just like a big brother next door. She nodded, "Consider yes!"

After that, nobody talked, Marcel lifted his teacup. His slender fingers were well-defined. He took a sip of the teacup, and with a faint smile in his mouth, he said casually, “It should be easier to develop feelings when you have been friends since childhood!"

Rae didn’t know how to answer him. His voice was low and he seemed like he had no mood. His eyes were dark, eyelash was long, and it was hard for others to see through his mind.

She could only say frankly, "It's normal but not every young couple can be lovers!"

Marcel lifted his eyebrows but he didn’t say anything.

After Rae answered him, she suddenly wanted to know, “Captain, how about you? Is your wife in City B?”

She wanted to know, she wanted to know whether Marcel was still with his girlfriend from the past? Marcel asked her about her private matter so she asked him too. She picked up her courage and asked, because this was not something she could ask anytime she wanted.

It seemed that Marcel didn't expect Rae to ask such a question. Marcel slowly raised his head. His eyes were deep like a pool. He stared at Rae for a long time, and then he said, "I have been single for a long time!"

Rae was stunned.

She pursed her lips and stopped talking. For a moment, she was silent. Rae looked back down to eat.

She didn't know why Marcel’s words felt depressing. It seemed that he had something difficult that he couldn’t say. She wanted to say something but she didn't think it was appropriate to say anything, so she just didn't speak.

After that, Marcel continued to eat quietly. His dining etiquette was very good. He was absolutely gentle. He didn't make any sound. He sat upright, straight and ate quietly.

It's just that she could feel a glimpse of loneliness coming from him, it’s filling the air and making her worry.

Rae also ate quietly. They didn't talk anymore until after dinner, Rae went to pay the bills. Marcel grabbed her wallet away and took out cash from his own wallet, he passed the cash to the cashier.

"Captain, it's my treat!"

"I never let women pay for me!" Marcel said and took the change. Then, he handed her wallet back to Rae and went straight out of the restaurant.

Rae just followed him and went out of the restaurant.

"Well, Captain, where do we go now?"

"Go back and have some tea!"

"Ah?" Rae was stunned, "Go back to the office now for tea?"

"Yes!” Marcel had already walked away.

Rae followed him back.

After that, she really saw Marcel go back to the office and have some tea.

Rae didn't know what Marcel wanted to do. She thought the case was already very urgent but Marcel didn’t seem to be worried at all. He was still in the mood to drink some tea.
