A Moment in Destiny

“Don’t you really want to know the man behind?” Theodore Hall frowned. He sounded a little suspicious as if he was waiting for a result. His gaze seemed like a sharp knife to lock her down.

Leila moved her sight aside for a while and then looked back at him. She said lightly, “What can I do even if I knew? Can we go back in time?”

“3 years ago, who was the person who frequently visited you in your dormitory? Because the person who came to find you, he ended up getting closer with the maid, who was this person? Don’t you remember?” Theodore sounded a little pain as it flowed into Leila’s ear.

Leila frowned as her pale face looked calm. Her red and swollen eyes looked a little painful but she raised her head and whispered, “You only need to know it yourself. I have never seen any letter before so I don’t really want to know it anymore.”

“But I always thought that if no one secretly hid the letter that I wrote to you, maybe we would have been together!”

Theodore took a puff as he stared into her eyes.

Leila smiled awkwardly and replied firmly, “Will not!!”

There was a buzzing sound in his head. Theodore swayed a little. He was stunned and felt hurt, it was painful. He squeezed the cigarette in his hand so tight that the butt of the cigarette burned in his palm. It was very hot and he slightly frowned.

Leila noticed his action and stepped forward immediately. “What are you doing? Do you burn yourself? Do you feel hurt?”

She ran up hurriedly and grabbed his hand to pry open with her hands. But Theodore was frowning as he squeezed her hand tightly. The flame was extinguished in his palm as he held it tightly. Naturally, it just burned him at the same time.

His hand was opened by Leila. She was a little worried, “What are you doing? Are you stupid!”

But Theodore smiled and he said, “You still care about me!”

Leila was startled. As she looked at the bubble in his palm, she felt a little helpless. She let go of his hand, and raised her eyes. “Anyone would have cared when facing this situation. I’m a human, not a monster. If you misunderstood about something, I’m terribly sorry. You still have some sense, take care of the injury by yourself. I have to go!”

She did not want to make Theodore misunderstand her.

Just as she was about to open the door of the room, he stretched out his hand from her back and pressed the back of the door to slam it shut.

Her strength was no match for him. She was trapped between the back of the door and his chest in shock. His breath burst over which made her feel afraid and pressured. Her body’s rejection and resistance were so clear and direct.

“Leila, you do care about me, why are you denying?!” Theodore looked down at her.

Leila wanted to pushed him away and shouted hurriedly, “Theodore! What are you doing? You’re my teacher, don’t overstep the boundary, we’re in the school, this is your office, what are you doing?!”

Didn’t he know that he might be used if he was seen by ulterior guys? He would lose his job and she would get involved in a scandal. She did not want something like this to happen. This could hurt her or someone else especially her mother.

I didn’t have to endure the loneliness while missing you at the same time. I thought that everything that I have done could help me give you happy life in the future.
