A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 817 Sylvie Was Unhappy

“Justice!” Miriam replied coldly.

“Justice is in the eye of the beholder!” Marley’s lips curled as he stood up, “I’ll leave first with Sylvie, hear me out and stop messing around further! I know inside that dad had done you wrong, and so does Sylvie! Even Ernie thinks that his mum and dad have done you wrong, so what are you fighting about? Carrying that bit of adamance without any meaning! Mum, I’ll leave first with Sylvie!”

Saying this, Marley pulled Sylvie along and left.

It had been this long that he had not held her hand, yet when they exited the house, he let go of her hand. He did not say another sentence on the way back, and the atmosphere again sunk into awkwardness. She could only smile in exasperation.

When they reached home, Marley said to Sylvie, “Rest early, Sylvie. Call me if there’s anything!”

As he said so, he went to the study.

Just like this, courteous yet distant, not even the slightest mistake could be picked out. He was caring and was gentle. He did not argue, did not point fingers, yet he was so horribly courteous and distant. Although he was before her, she still felt that his heart was afar no matter what.

At late night, he had just finished being busy with his study. He came to the bedroom, as usual, to bid goodnight to her.

Sylvie was leaning against the bedpost looking at the guide for pregnant women in her hands. Marley entered and asked in a calm tone, “Why didn’t you go sleep?”

She was stunned, raising her head to meet his dark pupils, and replied lightly, “I’m going to sleep now!”

He sat down by the bed, lowered down, and kissed her on the forehead. His kiss was gentle as usual, but the temperature of his lips was very cold. Something flashed in her eyes and disappeared in an instant, as her lips curled, laughing at herself.

Marley sat up straight and took a few looks at her, feeling puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Then only she realized that her eyes had given her emotions away. She had started to blame him, but he did not know. Yet did he not also start to blame her? She lowered her eyes and shook her head lightly, replying, “Nothing.”

Her body leaned against the bedpost, her expression flustered as she turned her face over, looking out of the window.

Everything was dark outside the window. Perhaps they still needed time, she was willing to wait! Everything would surely get better!

After a long while, she turned her head. Her line of sight landed on Marley’s face, the lines that were so handsome and chiselled rather made her feel sad out of a sudden.

“Sleep earlier!” He said, his tone gentle as usual.

She raised her eyes and smiled, a little out of focus. “Goodnight then!”

He still did not have anything to say, Sylvie could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Marley looked at her for a long while, his body a little tensed. After a while, he stood up, “Go sleep!”

Saying this, he walked out.
