A Moment in Destiny

"Whose message is it? You're looking at it so intently." Vincent reached over abruptly and took her phone. Leila's hand trembled again as his grim voice suddenly sounded overhead. He'd taken the phone, but it seemed she still had messages left to read.

Vincent happened to see the last message. Strangely enough, he just grunted and didn't say anything. Then she didn't know what he was looking at, except that he seemed to press a few buttons. Leila's heart tightened again. He handed the phone over and she looked down subconsciously to see that the message was gone. He had actually deleted all the messages.

Putting the phone away, Leila looked down and took a small sip of the water on the table.

She felt scared of him as if she had done something shameful. He had seen Callum's message, right? Was he going to humiliate her again by saying she was hitting on men?

"Let's eat!" Vincent ordered two set meals. He ate as if nothing had happened.

Leila looked at him in disbelief, but picked up her chopsticks and started eating anyway. She was a little hungry. The soy milk was pure and the small steamed buns smelled good...

Vincent felt a little distracted and he loosened his collar. For the first time, he felt like he didn't even know himself very well. He hadn't changed all night, and last night he had rushed up and tried to kick the door open and break in, but when he heard her broken cries of pain coming from the flat, he didn't go in.

Leila, sitting opposite him, wolfed down the breakfast in front of her for a while, eating it all, even the soya milk, before taking a tissue and wiping her mouth, and stopping.

Vincent was distracted and didn't eat more than a few bites. When he looked up at Leila across the table, he laughed at himself even more.

He must be out of his mind to have breakfast with this impure woman?!

"Do you want ... another one?!" Watching her eat her breakfast clean, Vincent shrugged his shoulders and looked hopelessly at Leila in front of him.

Her eyelids were red and swollen from crying too long last night. He hadn't expected her to eat an entire set meal with such appetite today.

Leila pursed her lips and shook her head. "I'm full!"

"Then let's go!"

"But you haven't eaten yet!" She pointed to the meal in front of him. He took a few sips of soy milk, a bite of the small steamed bun, and left the side dish untouched.

"I'm not hungry!"

"But skipping breakfast for a long time is bad for your stomach!" She couldn't help but say. Knowing full well that such concern was wrong for them after what had just happened yesterday, but she couldn't help but speak up anyway.

Vincent frowned and actually started to pick up his chopsticks and eat.

Leila seemed relieved and smiled at him.
