A Moment in Destiny

“It seems like you never come to find me when you’re in a good mood!” Vincent smiled. “Have a seat, I’m going to take a shower first as I’m a bit tired today!”

“Well! I’ll go and get the wine!” Pippa Russell said as she walked straight to the liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of brandy. She then took two glasses and brought them over to where the bar was. She sat down, poured a glass, and sipped it first on herself.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom and Pippa turned her face to glance at it. Her eyes were thoughtful, and she turned back to drink her own wine.

Ten minutes later, Vincent walked out in his bathrobe. His hair was dripping, and he took a towel to dry his hair. “How is Owen doing?”

“It’s fine with Mum, but I’m just reflecting on whether I was too selfish to leave him in Japan. He should have been around me when he is so young!”

“Then get him back!”

“But now ...” Pippa wanted to say something but stopped.

Vincent was slightly stunned, his gaze focused on Pippa face and nodded in great agreement, “The sacrifices you made will be revealed to him one day. Give yourself a chance, give him a chance and give Owen a chance too.”

“Vin, what do you think it would be like now if I did marry you at the beginning?” Pippa handed him a glass of wine and gulped it down herself.

“I have no idea, it’s pretty hard to predict.”

Pippa stared her eyes firmly at Vincent in case she missed his emotions.

“Don’t look at me, I really have no idea. The point is that you never wanted to marry me.” Vincent waved his hand and took a sip of wine instead. “All joking aside, what exactly are you planning to do?”

“If you want to hear the truth, I don’t know, I really have no idea!” Pippa shook her head, the usual pale smile on her clean white face as she continued to drink after spreading her hands.

“Human, the hardest thing is to understand your own mind!” Vincent smiled gently and put down his glass of wine to get his clothes. He went back to his room and changed his clothes before returning. However, Pippa was still drinking.

“If you can’t let go, just go back to Japan!”

“Are you sure you won’t use Leila as a pawn anymore?” Pippa asked.

Vincent was in silence, “It’s getting late now, just go back to your room and rest!”

“Vin, you’re running away from my question.”

“As you said, she’s innocent!” Vincent was silent for a moment and said indifferently.

With a nod, Pippa smiled gently and seemed a bit down, “I’m going back to Japan tomorrow, I might have to stay for a while this time.”

“That’s good, and I hope you will be an excellent fixer and mend your emotional world to perfection.”

“How can you mend something that’s already broken? You know the problem isn’t with me, it’s with him!”

“He needs time too!”
