A Moment in Destiny

He didn’t explain anything about his mother, who showed up so suddenly. She thought that he didn’t have a mother. Much to her surprise, his mother was still alive.

Leila sat down and started eating as well.

For a moment, the dining room had become extremely quiet, so quiet that Leila felt strangled. She dared not to speak. Vincent looked gloomy as if a lot of things were bothering him.

After dinner, Leila cleaned up the kitchen and walked upstairs.

Vincent had already gone upstairs. Leila walked on the corridor, she overheard Nora ask Vincent, “What do you plan to do with the woman downstairs?”

“Mom, it’s not the right time yet.”

“When will be the right time then? Tell me. I can’t wait any longer. Vincent, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”

“I know, but it’s truly not the time yet.”

“You fell in love with her, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t!”

“Then do whatever we’ve planned!”

Leila panicked, almost tripping over. She wondered what plan Nora had, feeling so uneasy suddenly.

The door of Vincent’s bedroom was opened suddenly. Leila raised up her head in a panic and saw Nora coming out. When seeing Leila at the door, she was taken aback. Then she asked in a cold voice, “Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”

“No, I’m not. Mom, I’ve just come upstairs,” Leila explained.

“I hated the sneakers the most. The villa is so dirty. Haven’t you seen the handrails on the corridor are dusty? How long haven’t the floor been mopped? It’s so dirty. What kind of hostess are you? How come you are so lazy? Are you still a woman?”

Leila was startled. Immediately, she answered, “I’ll clean it up right away.”

She went downstairs and fetched the cleaning cloth from the cleaning room. Then she lifted a bucket of water upstairs, starting to clean the handrail. Nora stood in the corridor and stared at Leila coldly. Then she ordered, “My suitcase is still in the car. Go get it for me!”

“Okay, Mom.” Leila had to stop what she was doing. She went downstairs to fetch the suitcase. However, she didn’t know what was wrong with the suitcase. When she carried it and entered the door, the lid opened suddenly. It turned out the suitcase was broken.

“Can you do anything? I asked you to carry my suitcase in. You can refuse me directly if you’re unwilling to do it. Why did you vent your anger on my suitcase? Do you think I’m a pushover because I’m sick?” Nora was pissed off again.

Leila immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t mean to do it.”

Nora walked down on the stairs. With a twisted expression, she glared at Leila in angry. With a vicious sneer, she asked, “Are you declaring a war on me?”

“No, I’m not!” Leila stood up immediately and whispered.

“Pak!” Nora slapped her across her face. “I’ve told you not to retort!”
