A Moment in Destiny

Neither of them spoke anymore. Leila was eating the popcorn at random, but she was thinking about something else. When the movie was over, she had already finished half a bucket of popcorn. No matter what, in such circumstances today, she felt that the popcorn was extremely sweet.

The movie was over, and so was the ending song.

Leila looked at Vincent in secret. “Vincent, shall we leave now?”

“Continue watching the second episode,” he answered with a snort, unwilling to leave.

Leila’s mouth widened slightly. Vincent glared at her, sitting straight. He felt a bit annoyed, raising his eyebrows. “What now? Can’t I watch it?”

“Yes, you can...” Leila answered. “I’ll go out to tell the projectionist and ask them to play the second one.”

“Okay.” He agreed, frowning deeply.

Leila found a projectionist and the second episode was on. When she returned to the private box, Vincent was leaning against the back of the couch, looking quite lazy. He was holding his cell phone. Leila overheard that he was speaking English while answering the phone. Although her English was not good, she still understood something. It seemed that he was talking to a doctor, discussing the condition of an illness, probably heart disease.

She walked over, feeling a bit worried. As soon as seeing her, Vincent immediately said to the person on the other end of the line, “That’s it. Just continue with your original treatment. Leave the rest to me.”

Then he hung up the phone.

“Did someone get sick?” Leila was not certain.

Vincent pulled a long face. “Mind your own business. Don’t try to spy upon anything. Just behave yourself while being Mrs. White.”

Leila felt heartbroken. He didn’t allow her to enter his world. She couldn’t help wondering if his world was too lonely and he was hiding too deep, or he didn’t allow anyone to get close to him.

“Sit down!” Vincent waved his sleeve as if he just shook off the dirt.

Although the dirt would disappear, the dirt that stressed on Leila’s heart couldn’t be shaken off so easily.

Leila nodded in agreement. She still felt somewhat empty because of his ruthlessness just now. After all, he always could turn to be quite cold-hearted as if he had become a complete stranger.

However, she found that she couldn’t be the same cold-hearted at any time. Although he treated her ruthlessly, his ruthlessness couldn’t be compared with his occasional tenderness.

The emotion that flashed through her eyes was seen Vincent completely. Leila was in a daze for a long while and then pulled to sit down next to him. “It’s better for you not to know something.”

His tone was so tender as if the cold and overbearing man was another man.

Perhaps she would fall into his hands step by step because of his tenderness. At this moment, Leila wished that she could be immersed in the lie that his tenderness could last long only for herself, not anyone else.
