A Moment in Destiny

“Babe…” Elijah couldn’t stand it anymore and walked towards Tim, “Grandpa, she’s joking with you!”

“I know right. This girl has a sharp tongue but she is very kind. Esther, do you want to say anything more vicious? Just say it!”

“No more! Seeing that you are so reasonable. Those vicious words I’ve been preparing for years will not have much deterrent effect even if I say them, so I will just keep them within myself!” Esther said with a wry smile, “Hahahaha…”

“Silly girl!” Tim took her hand and put it on the sofa, “Good girl, good girl!”

“Grandpa, you must live a good life!” Esther finally became serious. She looked at Tim with tears in her eyes. “In fact, at first I knew your good intentions. I also knew that you knew that Elijah was still alive, that’s why I was relieved and didn’t come to comfort you! The reason I don’t bring Iris here is that I am worried about her safety. I don’t want others to know Iris’s identity!”

“I understand. You’ve thought it through very well! Alas! You all are back and only Winnie is not here. She had only come back to see me at Christmas for the past four years. I don’t know what she’s busy doing the rest of the time. I asked her to go to Perry Group but she didn’t want to go and insisted to be some kind of sales agent on her own. I wonder how she is doing now!” Tim signed.

What Tim said was right. Where was Winnie? Esther knew that in these four years, Hudson had not been together with Winnie. Ethel told her that Hudson felt that he owed Winnie a lot.

She also hoped that Hudson and Winnie would get together eventually, but would they?

She hadn’t met Hudson for half a year. How was he?

In New York.

Winnie sat in a corner of the living room. She felt peaceful looking at the three large suitcases in front of her. She was about to leave New York and returned to her hometown finally.

It had been four years since she came here.

She had worked in New York as an entry-level employee at first. She had tried too many jobs, and she even worked as a dishwasher. Now, she was twenty-six years old and she was no longer childish and innocent like she was back then. She had become a beautiful and attractive white-collar in the city.

She stood up and looked around the tiny flat in which she had lived for three years, from the moment she joined GB company and became a sales employee. Now, she had improved her status from being a staff to becoming the Vice President of Sales for Asia, and one could guess that she experienced a lot of predicaments.

At the airport.

With a bag in her hand, Winnie held her ticket and wanted to have her ticket checked.

At the moment, a tall figure was in front of her.

She had been queueing subconsciously, but she didn’t expect the man to suddenly turn around and call out in a low voice, “Winnie?”

She was stunned when she suddenly heard the familiar voice. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Hudson. Why was he here? She felt depressed after seeing him. She felt extremely nervous.

But she immediately calmed down and nodded her head calmly, “Hello, Mr. Ball!”

…

The tone she used when she greeted him was like she was not close to him as if they were just friends who didn’t know each other very well.

“How are you?” Hudson spoke in a low tone. His eyes were gazing at her face.

“Not too bad. The plane will depart soon. Let’s go.” She tried to calm herself down, smiling calmly.

Hudson knew that it was really strange for them to stop their steps at the boarding gate and immediately had his ticket checked.

It seemed like she didn’t expect to bump into him.
