A Moment in Destiny

“Mum, just trust me, it’s really not what you think, Arthur Lane is my friend!” Leila explained, “Mum, I…”

“What’s wrong? Are you stammering?”

“I want to get a divorce!” Leila mustered up her courage.

“Why?” Stunned for a moment, Mabel immediately held Leila upright and looked in her eyes. “Did you cry last night? Why are your eyelids swollen like this? Are you and Vincent getting a divorce because of that vice president?”

“No, mum!” Leila was almost crying. “I really just want a divorce.”

“My silly girl, do you think marriage is just a child’s play?” Mabel sighed quietly, not even surprised or angry, but only spoke with a serious tone, “Every couple has to go through a running-in period, don’t you like Vincent?”

“Mum?” Leila was stunned, then she denied it. “I don’t like Mr. White!”

“Silly child, if you don’t like him, why would your father and I have agreed to let you marry him? Do you think it was just because of the video by Macey?”

“Mum?!” Leila was stunned again, “You guys?”

“We want you to be happy, do you think that we agree for the marriage just for the sake of the dignity of the Hunter family?” Mabel gently stroked Leila’s little face. “My dear child, if it was for the sake of the Hunter family, I would not agree to you marrying him, but we saw you genuinely like him. Vincent might have had his own purpose in marrying you, but I believe in my daughter, as long as he stays with you for a longer time, he will definitely fall in love with you!”

“No, mum, he won’t fall in love with me, you don’t understand!” Leila was too surprised as her parents had actually known it. They all knew that she liked Vincent but she thought she had hidden it well.

“Leila, to love someone you need to let him know that you love him, let him feel that you like him, if he didn’t know you love him, how can he let his guard down to love you? And have you ever told him that you like him?”

“Mum…I…” Leila shook her head feebly. “I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m so sad, I just want to get a divorce.”

“You don’t want to be used by him in front of the camera, right?”

“Mum!” A mother was always the one who knew her child best.

“Leila, don’t take something just from its cover, mum can clearly see that he treats you different than he treats Macey.”

“How is it different?”

“He calls me mum because of you, and treats me with extra respect because of you too whereas he is really hostile to your dad.”

“Is that so?” Leila was unsure and her little face scrunched together.

“Leila, mum doesn’t allow you to get a divorce!” Mabel said seriously at this point. “But if you really can’t live with him anymore and you feel really unhappy, then you just divorce him! But ask your own heart first, do you really want to leave him?”

“Mum…” Leila hesitated for a moment. “Will you be very sad if Mr. White and I divorce?”

you can't live anymore?” Mabel asked softly, “I believe in my child, we have come through those difficult times together, yet, you have also gone through so many tribulations and mum hopes that those tribulations are the wealth of your life. Sometimes you seem to have reached the cliff, but if you don’t know how to turn around, how do you know the alternative way is not easy? Marriage is managed by wisdom, not impulse.
