A Moment in Destiny

… “Are you still running?”

“No! Miyamoto, please, don’t do this!”

Vincent didn’t save Pippa after all. He was punched a few times due to his own carelessness and yet, his chin and the corner of his lips were injured.

What Miyamoto had said when he was leaving and what Arthur had said put Vincent into deep thought that drove him to the Pearl Community as he felt that Leila was there even though he didn’t know why.

He knew that matters between husband and wife should be dealt with by themselves and for matters that involved Pippa and Miyamoto, Miyamotohad entangled her for six year but Pippa had repeatedly evaded and even he didn’t know why?

It was just that he could clearly see how much Miyamoto cared for Pippa and it was like a mirror of himself where he found himself caring for Leila too. How could he not care? Even if that kind of caring was more like possession! Or even it had nothing to do with love, yet, it was caring as if she was his toy which no one could own and she could only be his own.

The way Miyamoto treated Pippa was like the way he treated Leila. At this moment, Vincent was dazed as the car glided through the night and turned into the Pearl Community where the lights of the condo were on. She was here.

Looking at the small window with flickering warm light inside, his eyes showed a trace of fondness. Perhaps, there was something wrong with the way he treated Leila. Subconsciously, he didn’t want Leila to evade himself like the way Pippa evaded Miyamoto.

He then went upstairs and knocked on the door but there was no sound and no one came to open the door for a long time.

Leila was in the bathroom when the doorbell rang. She was dazing in the bath momentarily when she just felt that the bath water was cold by the time she was awakened by the doorbell suddenly.

Wasn’t it Vincent?

Leila sighed secretly, then got up, draping herself in her bathrobe and unhurriedly went to change her clothes into her pajamas.

The doorbell was still ringing as if it would keep on ringing if she didn’t open the door.

Leila walked to the door and saw it was Vincent through the peephole but when she opened the door for him, she could only see that his handsome face was injured with bruises on his chin and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. She was expressionless but her heart twitched actually.

Vincent stood at the doorway and he was relieved when he saw Leila opening the door. He raised the corner of his lips gently but the pain at the corners of his mouth made him wince. “Leila…”

He was about to enter but Leila blocked the doorway. Her calm eyes showed a melancholy that seemed unable to be dissolved and she faintly parted her eyes, “Go back, I don’t want to see you. Don’t disturb the neighbors as it’s too late!”

Upon hearing her calmly driving him away, Vincent’s handsome face tightened up, he didn’t turn angry but just sighed. “Leila, I know you are angry, but…”

“I’m not angry!” Leila raised her eyes calmly, “Go away!”
