What on earth did he want to do?
Leilaâs gaze was cold, had he ignored what she had said a few hours ago?
âGo back immediately, who are you to live here?â Leila was furious.
âI, why canât I stay here? Iâve bought this place, itâs not like I robbed it!â
âYou...â
âYouâre really angry, Leila. Donât be angry, be careful of our baby!â He said without having regard to Miss Spencerâs stunned expression at the side, and Arthurâs shocked expression as if he had just met a ghost.
Vincent continued to pester Leila, his always stony face was instead gentle as ever at this moment, the gaze of his dark eyes was filled with gentleness and adoration that could be felt.
âMy god! Such infatuation! But if youâre so infatuated, why did you divorce?â Miss Spencer exclaimed, sighing over the fact that there were no reporters now. If a reporter had taken a shot of this scene of great affection, who knew how many people would be touched by it?
âVincent, weâre already divorced!â Leila finally burst into anger. Her tone was cold, as she glared furiously at Vincent who was smiling gently. That confident and calm face made Leila suddenly realised that she was like a woman who was throwing a random tantrum, while he was the one being tolerant and calm.
âWe can still remarry; you know that I didnât really mean to divorce you. Iâll announce to the public immediately that we are getting married.â Rubbing Leilaâs hair affectionately, Vincentâs deep gaze showed happiness, as if being able to adore her like this was such a joyful thing to do.
âWhat on earth do you want, Vincent?â Being provoked into anger, Leila flung away Vincentâs wandering hands abruptly, âCan you not make a scene like a child?â
She could face his indifference and could face his deviousness. But when a cold, sharp and devious man was suddenly acting cute like a child, she really did not know what to do, thus she was angry. She found out that after getting pregnant she became easily pissed off, whenever she met him, she wanted to burst into anger.
âI just want to love you, adore you, accompany you and take care of you! Look forward to our childâs birth with you!â To compensate for his mistake, he was really going to all ends, but his eyes were rather serious and determined.
âI donât need this!â
âHow could you not need this? You need me, and the baby needs its father!â He was wrong and he felt regret beyond measure. He would never hurt her again and would never let go of her again. He would be like a piece of toffee sticking by her side until she came back into his arms.
Leila suddenly calmed down and watched Vincent silently, then she replied coldly, âSuit yourself!â
Leila walked outside and held onto Miss Spencerâs arm, who was in shock. âLetâs go, Miss Spencer!â
Miss Spencer turned back to look at Vincent, his black hair shone with the remainder of the sunset, his onyx-coloured pupils were deep. He pursed his seductive lips as the curve at the corner of his lips faded. Watching Leilaâs figure as she left, his pupils became even deeper.
As the night fell.
Vincentâs body sunk into the couch as he listened to the laughter in the yard next door. The woman that he loved the most was next door and was still unwilling to forgive him, as he guarded this empty house alone. This was the first time that he wanted to drink voluntarily. He was always disciplined and did not prefer alcohol nor women, but today he really wanted a drink, his heart ached too much!
As he emptied the drink, thick and spicy sadness shot through his insides, piercing his heart and going into his lungs. Not only did his woes not subside, but they became heavier and heavier.
Having one glass after another, he was still very awake, so he just took up the bottle of liquor and drank from the bottle.
The liquor flowed down slowly from his defined jawline that seemed like it was carven by a knife, the burning spiciness showering on his struggling emotions.
He lifted his head, laughing in desolation.
He was wrong!
One bottle of liquor was finished quickly, and another bottle became empty as well. He loosened his grip and the bottle fell to the floor with a clang.
He felt that his head was starting to become heavy, but his consciousness was awake as ever. He stood up, his body stumbling as he walked outside.
Unknowingly, he came before Miss Spencerâs door, reaching out and banging on the door with force as he shouted on the top of his lungs, âOpen up, open up, open up! I want Leila! I want my Leila!â
What on earth was he doing?
Leila was really feeling powerless, feeling extremely awkward, she hurried said to Miss Spencer, âIâm sorry, Miss Spencer, Iâve disturbed you!â
âDonât be, I canât even thank you enough. Itâs been boring recently, and I love to join in on the fun, I couldnât be happier with the free drama for me to watch! Donât ever apologise to me, I hate these words the most. I hadnât been courteous with you when I ate all that pollution-free food and drank that spring water that was by the courtesy of you, so what are you being so formal with me for?â Miss Spencer was rather quite open-minded, and instead showed her excitement for the drama.
Now Leila felt even powerless, why did she feel that Miss Spencer was still like a child in her sixties, wanting for more drama to happen?
âIâll go talk to him, do you want him to come in or for him to go home?â Arthur stood up, looking at Leila.
Really, Vincent was banging on the door in the middle of the night?
âPlease tell him to go home, Arthur!â Leila pleaded.
âAlright! Iâll go convince him, he was rather matured just now, why did he become childish again?â
âOpen the door! I want my Leila... Leila...â
âComing, coming, you madman! Why are you banging on the door? If you break the door, youâre paying!â Arthur opened the door and the thick scent of alcohol overwhelmed him. âUrgh! Damn, how much did you drink? Youâre even trying to look pitiful?â
Once he opened the door, Vincent pounced over directly and hugged Arthur, shouting, âLeila....â
âPlease, canât you tell between a male and a female? Iâm a man, stop hugging me! Damn, Iâm not a transsexual! You smell awful, Vincent, go back to your house!â Arthur scolded, but he still held on to him.
Leila stood in the yard, glancing at Vincent who was at the gate. He was indeed crazy to actually drink all that alcohol, she could even smell the scent of alcohol from where she was.
She forced herself to retract her worried gaze. This look of his made her feel sad and bitter out of the blue.
Although he was no longer a child, a man who was calm and collected like this was using such means to torture his own body. Did he not know that drinking when feeling sad was only going to worsen his sadness?
His stomach hurt badly, and a nauseousness dove upwards.
âVomit outside!â Arthur held onto him quickly and pulled him out of the yard.
An uncomfortable sound of vomiting came from outside.
Miss Spencer lifted her gaze and snuck a look at Leila. âIf youâre worried, my child, you should go out to have a look!â
âMiss Spencer! I, Iâm not, Iâm going back to my room!â Leila did not want to go to take another look. Turning, she walked towards her room.
Miss Spencer sighed, shaking her head, but she did not say anything.
Arthur did not return for the entire night, and Leila was sleepless the whole night.
She thought that perhaps Arthur was keeping Vincent company, and had taken care of him the whole night.
Leila finally used the phone in Miss Spencerâs home to call her motherâs number at dawn, but when the call went through, her whole person froze.
âWhat did you say, mum?â
âLeila, your fatherâs condition has worsened again. He suddenly had another cerebral haemorrhage, it couldnât be controlled, and he sank into a coma entirely!â
âWhat... Mum, how could this be?â Leila was thunderstruck. âMum, Iâll come back now. Donât cry, itâs alright, itâll be alright!â
Leila changed her clothes in a frenzy, why did her father have another cerebral haemorrhage?
Was he not already stable? Grabbing her bag, Leila walked outside and clashed with Miss Spencer with a clang.
âOh my! Be careful, Leila! Youâre a pregnant woman, how can you be so careless?â
When she saw that Leilaâs face was pale, she instantly exclaimed, âWhat happened, Leila?â
âMiss Spencer, my fatherâs sickness had gotten worse, I need to go back immediately!â Leila explained. âIâll leave first!â
âWait, allow Arthur to send you!â Miss Spencer already shouted at the top of her lungs, âArthur, come out, now!â
She called out a few times over the yard, and the sounds of opening and closing the door immediately came through on the other side. Then, Arthur and Vincent both appeared at the door at the same time.
âWhat happened?â
âLeilaâs fatherâs condition has gone worse. Arthur, you should send Leila back!â Miss Spencer ordered.
âHis condition worsened suddenly?â Vincent was taken by surprise as well, âDonât worry, Leila, weâll go back together!â
âIâll start the car!â Arthur immediately opened the car door.
Leila did not look at Vincent but instead followed Arthur closely, and she slid into his car directly.
âLeila...â Vincent was hurt to see that she had ignored him. The hangover from waking up this morning was making his head ache badly, but for Leila to ignore him and get into Arthurâs car made his heart ached even more.
Miss Spencer sighed and went to open the gate.
Vincent did not think twice and opened the back door of Arthurâs Ferrari directly, sliding in, âIâll ride in your car!â
âWhat about yours?â Arthur raised an eyebrow.
âI was just drunk and itâs unsuitable for me to drive!â He hurled his words at Arthur coldly. Vincentâs gaze turned to Leila who was sitting in the passenger seat, as he comforted, âItâll be alright, Leila, donât worry!â
Leila did not respond, but suddenly her eyes teared up.
Arthur passed her a tissue and Leila thanked him, accepting it and wiped her tears.
Vincent saw that Leilaâs eyes turned red and suddenly did not know what to do.
Leila gritted her teeth, before the car started, she suddenly opened the car door and stumbled off the car. Once she got off the car, she felt dizzy, as if something was churning in her stomach. She rushed to the side and started vomiting.
âLeila...â Vincent was anxious, getting off the car to take a look at her.
After Leila vomited, she entered the car again, ignoring him.
Vincent could only follow her and re-enter the car, âLetâs go, Arthur!â
âItâll be fine, Leila, the medical field is so advanced now!â Arthur stared at the side of her face, as he comforted her.
Leila was silent and did not speak for the moment. Afterwards, she finally replied calmly, âI know that itâll be fine.â
For her to talk to Arthur and ignore himself, Vincent did not know what to feel at the moment. But his father-in-law was suddenly in critical condition and he had no time to think about this. He took out his phone and called President Lawrence.
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 449 Green Food The convenient Bride ï¤Chapter 414: There Is Nothing Happier Than This (Ending)
Predestined Marriage ï¤Chapter 1718: The End âHello, President Lawrence! This is Vincent!â He was calling from the back seat, âHow is my father-in-law, Brian doing right now? Please get the best doctors to treat him immediately, I only want him to be alright, save him no matter the cost! You know that money is no issue!â
Hearing Vincentâs call, Leila and Arthur went silent.
Arthur told Miss Spencer something and he drove the car out the gate, speeding towards F City.
From Arthurâs memories, Leila had always been very quiet and strong. She always had a tolerant and gentle heart towards anyone, but this time she was really furious at Vincent.
But her behaviour like this that was never before seen, actually made Arthurâs heart ached further.
Vincent was still on the call, âAlright, I see. Thank you for your effort!â
Hanging up the call, Vincent spoke calmly, âDonât be too worried, Leila. The doctors are rescuing him now, your sister and Charles are there as well.
Be rest assured!â
