A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 161 Engagement Party

At this moment, she was still a bit afraid of what he might suddenly do to her. The memory of forcing her to have a miscarriage that day was so bad that she felt scared every time she thought back on it. So whenever he approached her, she would even flinch instinctively.

“Susan, you can’t go out!” Cohen suddenly tightened his arms. Hugging her, he whispered, “I promise I won’t hurt you again!”

“I want to leave!” Susan said faintly, not refusing his hug, but murmuring, “Let me go! You said I’m free!”

Then she broke free of his hand, carried her handbag, and headed out.

He let go of his hand and leaned in the doorway to look at her.

“Stop!” He finally spoke up.

Her body stiffened and she stopped in her tracks. Closing her eyes to hide her nervousness, she looked back at him. “What do you want?”

He wrapped his arms around his chest and just looked at her with his eyes gleaming like flaming torches, but didn’t say another word. She hesitated, not knowing what to do. If she left and he didn’t let her go, everything would be in vain. But she really didn’t know how to stay here any longer. Stay in what capacity, his lover? No more, she was free now!

“Go back to your room and stay there!” He urged, not allowing her to refuse.

“You can’t imprison me anymore!” She hesitated for a moment, couldn’t help but say.

“I’m not imprisoning you! But you are not allowed to leave!” Cohen said in a muffled voice, his tone domineering.

…

At this moment, Susan’s phone rang. Cohen looked at her and his eyes fell on her handbag.

“Your call!” He said.

She had no choice but to go back to her room and answer the phone, only to find that it was Leon calling. She listened to the low, deep voice on the other end of the phone, “Susan, I’m getting engaged!”

She was stunned, her expression stiffening even though she had known about it. “Congratulations, Leon!”

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Leon asked.

Cohen didn’t leave, instead, he stood at the door watching Susan talking on the phone. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Cohen, then said with a detached expression on her face. “Congratulations to you and Miss Jones. I wish you both always be in love, grow old together, and have your baby soon!”

“Do you really say it from the bottom of your heart?”

“Yes! These are my true words!” she said, but her eyes fell on Cohen. “You must be happy~!”

“William and Sherry have come to me!” Leon said.

She paused, not expecting them to go to him, so did he know about her current situation? Then she said, “You don’t have to take it to heart!”

“Then come to my engagement party!” he added.

“If you want me to attend, I’ll definitely be there!” Her tone was euphemistic, while her face was pale but still wore a faint smile. “Miss Jones is beautiful, you should marry her sooner instead of just getting engaged!”

If they had been married instead of engaged, perhaps she would be Mrs. Hickman now, instead of Cohen’s lover!
