A Moment in Destiny

"You know me in the United States?" He was surprised and rejoiced. "Did you like me then?"

He suddenly felt very happy to be liked by her, but he stayed by the side of Jemima and never thought that Sylvie would become his wife.

"No. Think again! I won't tell you. I hope you can remember it!" She looked at him with a happy smile. She just hoped that they could be happy forever. When they got old, they could watch the sunset hand in hand.

"Why don't you tell me?" Marley was upset and put on a cool look without blinking…

Sylvie was a little embarrassed since Marley stared at her for a long time.

"Marley…" She called to him in a drawling voice.

Marley took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "I will certainly recall it!"

He thought he would recall it. They were destined to be husband and wife, so they must have met each other on a very special occasion. If he could not recall it, he would feel apologetic to Sylvie.

"It doesn't matter!" Sylvie laughed.

His gaze became deep and he decided. He must recall it.

A scream came from the villa suddenly and surprised Marley and Sylvie.

"What's the matter? Who's screaming?" Sylvie asked.

Another scream sounded, followed by crackling sounds.

"Let's go back!" Marley grabbed Sylvie's hand and strode toward the villa. "That seems to be my mom!"

They hurried into the hall. Miriam's cries came from the study upstairs. Kasper and Evie Holt were running upstairs.

"What happened?" Marley was astonished. He took Sylvie and protected her. They went upstairs.

"You hurry up to see Mom. I am fine."

Marley was a little anxious and went to the study with Sylvie. He heard his mom crying, "Aiden, you are so shameless! You even did such a thing behind me. You are a bastard…"

"Mom, what happened?" As soon as Marley entered the study, he saw his mother beating his father angrily. Aiden blushed with embarrassment and let Miriam beat him without saying anything.

Ernie kept silent and sat on the chair. He threw a mocking gaze at Aiden.
