A Moment in Destiny

When he entered the company, Marcel called everyone for a meeting, but Rae was left out.

While she was still in a rush, Raphael called, asking to see her. She immediately limped down the stairs.

When she reached downstairs, she saw Raphael standing next to his car. The second he saw her limping, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly ran over to support her.

“What happened?” He asked fervently.

“Just an accident!” She looked into his car to see if there was a driver, then quickly told him, “We’ll talk in your car!”

“Alright!” He said and hurriedly positioned her into the car seat, then asked, “What happened to your leg?”

“It’s not my leg; my ankle has a fracture!” Rae said as she climbed into the car.

Raphael was even more concerned when he heard this, “How did you get hurt so badly?”

“Never mind this for now, I have something important to ask you!” Rae sat and turned to directly look at Raphael.

Raphael also got in the car; his face was full of worry for Rae, and he asked in a soft tone, “What’s this important matter?”

“Raphael, I hope that whatever I ask you, you will truthfully tell me. Even if you can’t say, don’t lie to me, ok?” Rae asked in a low voice; her tone was soft enough to lower anyone’s defenses.

“Is it about Joanna?” Raphael didn’t even have to guess. He looked up at Rae. Right now, she was probably the only one whom he could pour forth his heart to talk to.

“It is about her!” Rae wasn’t certain, but the fact that Joanna’s baby’s DNA matched Raphael’s was certainly accurate.

“Go on and ask!” Raphael said as he nodded.

Rae hesitated for about a hundred thousand times. She’d often thought about how to use the most indirect approach to ask, but she always felt it was inappropriate. In the end, it was better she just straight-forwardly asked, “Do you know that Joanna has your baby?”

Raphael’s face turned ill in a split second.

Rae felt a bit regretful as soon as she saw his face; it was the first time she saw him with such an expression, and it was quite eerie.

After a pause, Raphael suddenly said, “Would you believe me if I said I never had sex with her again!”

Rae froze in place, then smiled and nodded, “If you say so! I believe you!”

Raphael’s gaze was quite serious, and he looked at Rae’s cheeks, “But Joanna’s child might really be mine!”

Rae looked back at Raphael, waiting for him to finish.

She knew it was quite possible nowadays for procedures to get pregnant without sex.

As she looked at him without any hint of doubt, Raphael pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and then exhaled deeply before he began to speak, “I think I now know what’s going on!”
