A Moment in Destiny

“What are you so afraid of? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear!” Ernie said in a low tone.

“I’d still like to keep a distance…” Sylvie said as she lowered her head.

“Haha! I can keep myself under control!” Ernie retracted his gaze, but his eyes were like an abyss. He zipped up his pants before her, “Don’t worry, you’re my lifeline, so I will protect you well until you become my woman!”

Sylvie shouted, “Ernie Hughes! Will you cut it out? I don’t care if you feel wronged or what, but don’t overestimate yourself, ok? I am and will always be Marley Hughes’ wife. You’re his cousin, so stop fooling around, alright? I’m really glad you saved me today!”

“But I haven’t felt any sense of gratitude or appreciation!” Ernie said lightly, “Besides, why do you think I’m just playing around? Sylvie, you made your mistake when you helped the Hughes family! You shouldn’t have let me meet you! I can’t stop wanting you ever since I met you! So, what can I do?”

“Whatever! Let me treat your wound first, you’re losing too much blood!” Her hands were already filled with his blood.

“Sylvie, one day, you will be my woman! There’s no woman I can’t have!”

Sylvie sneered and said, “I know you’re quite capable and not what you appear to be on the surface, and that you’re actually quite outstanding. But Ernie, not everything will go your way, that’s just the way the world is. Cut it out! I’m not the one you want. Even if you have my body, you won’t have my affection!”

Sylvie said this with such determination that Ernie suddenly felt a hint of fear inside him. He didn’t know why he felt this way, but he just drooped his eyes.

Sylvie silently helped to bandage the wound on his head. It was a serious wound and would probably leave a scar. They had to hurry to a hospital to take care of it.

Suddenly, Ernie’s phone rang again.

He looked at the caller; it was Marley, and it was probably urgent.

Ernie stared at his phone but didn’t answer it. There was no telling whether his expression was that of anger or something else. He pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, “What a lovely couple…”

After a slight pause, he handed his phone to Sylvie, “Here, you talk to him…”

Sylvie’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked anxiously at Ernie.

He already handed her his phone.

Sylvie looked at the caller; it was Marley indeed. Her bag and phone were still on the sofa from the banquet, so she didn’t have them on her. She picked up the call, and Marley’s voice immediately boomed form the other end, “Ernie, where did you take Sylvie?”

“Marley, it’s me!” Sylvie quickly explained.

“Sylvie? Where are you?”

“I, I’m not sure?”

“Where’s Ernie? What happened to you? How come you’re with him?”

“I’m fine!” Sylvie quickly said.

At this time, someone was knocking at the door. Sylvie hastily said, “I’m not sure where I am, I’ll be back soon, don’t worry!”
