A Moment in Destiny

“Yes!” Owen immediately responded.

“I still have things to do and I am afraid that I am unable to join you all!” Leila immediately refused as she didn’t want to have any interaction with Charles.

“You’re such a wet blanket!” Charles shrugged his shoulders.

Owen was also a little bit disappointed.

Leila said again, “I am going to study first. Owen, if you’re hungry, ask Eira to cook something for you to eat. I am going up!”

After saying that, without waiting for them to answer, she ran upstairs. On the stairs, she heard Owen asking Charles something.

“Charles, do you think that Leila doesn’t like me?” Owen’s voice suddenly became lower.

Leila suddenly felt bad for the child as he is sensitive about other people’s feelings. He was afraid that there was someone who did not like him. Leila stopped on the stairs and heard Charles saying, “How can it be? Darling, you are thinking nonsense again. Everyone likes Owen, and you shouldn’t be so sentimental, okay?”

On the stairs, Leila turned around after all, “Owen, let’s go upstairs to watch cartoons, okay? I have a lot of cartoons on my laptop!”

“Yes!” Owen immediately became happy. He ran up the stairs and held Leila’s hand.

His hand was very small, but it was very warm in Leila’s hand. The strange feeling made her heart feel warm. The child was so naive.

The expression of Charles was a bit complicated, and he soon turned around to watch the financial news on the TV again.

In the study.

Leila opened her laptop. Both of them sat on the sofa with the laptop on her knee, while Owen leaned against her.

Leila opened the cartoon and let him watch. Looking down at his handsome face, Leila found that his child inherited the good genes of his parents. He was good-looking and had long eyelashes. His large eyes flashed as if they could speak.

“Owen, you…” Leila hesitated, not knowing how to communicate with the child about his parents. She wanted to persuade the child to have a better relationship with Miyamoto.

“Do you have something to say?” Owen lifted his little face and looked at her.

“Yes.” Leila nodded.

“Then just say it, don’t stammer. Charles said, stammering is not good, since it means that there is something fishy.”

“Oh!” Leila froze and smiled, “Owen, actually your parents love you very much!”

Once he heard the word ‘parents’, he lowered her little face and shook her head.

“Leila you don’t understand, Mummy doesn’t like me. I know it actually!”

“Why?”
