A Moment in Destiny

“Just do what you are told to do!” Leonard told her impatiently.

“Alright!” Mrs. Baxter was reluctant but she still agreed to it.

Upstairs.

Rae had already changed her clothes and was now lying on her bed doing nothing. She did not go downstairs and was thinking how should she face them.

While she was still in a daze, there seemed to be some noises at the door. She immediately stood up and be on guard.

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Reuben’s tall body was standing in the doorway. He gave a slight smile when he saw that she looked like as if she had just gotten out of bad. His smile was starting to look more and more evil. “So? You won’t come downstairs? Are you avoiding me on purpose?”

Rae was shocked as she thought to herself that this man was very annoying, what else could she do other than avoiding him?

What else could she do now?

Reuben already walked into the room and closed the door. With a cold and proud expression on his face, he looked at Rae’s slim figure as she sat on the bed. He could not really recognize Rae anymore, she looked so quiet, calm and relaxed. What had happened in these past five years? A proud woman like her actually became like this.

“What the hell do you want?” Rae could not bear it anymore. “What about Ophelia?”

Reuben took a moment to look at Rae’s entire body as if he was assessing Rae who was in front of him. He opened his mouth and started talking in his usual sarcastic tone, “I've come to propose to you! Our engagement is still on, Rae. You don’t really think by simply saying you have forgotten me that I will act like I don’t care about it anymore?”

Rae snorted, thinking it was ridiculous how all men were all like this. She looked at Reuben’s handsome face. As she thought of the difficulties that Ophelia had to face, she couldn't help herself and shoot back, “Since you didn't forget about our engagement, why didn’t you come looking for me in those five years. Were you living with Ophelia, or were you with another woman? What did you think of me at that time?”

Reuben blinked as he heard her words. “At that time, I was angry at you!”

Rae was puzzled so she frowned at him.

“Rae, did you even forget the reason that we broke up?” Reuben always gave Rae a fright. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out.

“I have indeed forgotten everything!” Rae spoke calmly.

“Oh?” Reuben deliberately said it slowly. “Have you even forgotten the most intimate matter that we did together?”
