A Moment in Destiny

Rae was suddenly a little stunned.

Although from the bottom of her heart, she felt that Reuben and Ophelia couldn’t be better together. After all, the real Rae had passed away. Whether rationally or emotionally, Rae wanted Ophelia to be happy. If Reuben really had such sincere feelings for the deceased Rae, she also hoped that Reuben could move on and be happy with Ophelia.

After all, people cannot come back alive after death. However, when Rae heard such news, there was still a certain indescribable feeling in her heart. She also was a bit disdainful of Reuben’s boasting about his deep affectionate. These days, Reuben was pestering her while still entangling with Ophelia. The saying that a man's body was separate from his emotions fit him quite well. In their mind, a man could love a woman, a man could also have sex with a woman he didn’t love, and even a man could have many women at the same time!

‘If what dad has said is true, then people like Reuben don’t deserve my sympathy!’

Leonard was a little worried when he saw that Rae seemed to be in a low mood, “You and Reuben?”

“Dad!” Rae immediately shook her head, “I don’t have any feelings for Reuben anymore, so you don’t have to worry! Ophelia is a good woman, and it’s quite good if she can be with Reuben!”

However, Leonard didn’t seem to agree, “Rae, it’s blind to jump to a conclusion about a person too soon. Especially when you don’t know that person well enough!”

Rae was stunned, and she was a little confused about what Leonard meant.

“Miss Grant may not be as nice as you say she is. How can you say someone who can behave shamefully with a man right on the stairs is a good person?” Leonard shook his head as he spoke. It was polite enough for him as he didn’t say another harsh word.

Rae couldn’t defend Ophelia. She also couldn’t let Leonard know that Ophelia was her friend and classmate for many years. So, she could only choose to be silent.

“Rae, you’ve grown up and you’re a police officer, so you should be known how to observe people astutely. Miss Grant was with Reuben, and she couldn’t have been unaware that you and Reuben have an engagement. She must be wary of you. You shouldn’t believe everything she says!” Leonard saw that Rae seemed to disagree with him, and he said earnestly, “Her relationship with Reuben isn’t as simple as you think. They were arguing in the hallway, I heard it all, and then...”

It was the first time that Leonard had badmouthed a person like this. She knew she should have listened. She also knew that Ophelia was hiding something from her. However, she wanted Ophelia herself to reveal what she was hiding!

Rae comforted Leonard before she left the house. She kept thinking on the road, and then she decided to call Marcel.

It was now seven o’clock in the morning and not yet time to go to work. As usual, Marcel should have just woken up. Rae dialed the phone, and a low male voice soon came from the other end, “Hello!”

“Captain Hopkins, I have something to discuss with you!” Rae spoke first, and she said straightforwardly.

Marcel seemed to be silent on the other end for a moment before he spoke formulaically, “Okay. I’m going to have breakfast now. If you haven’t eaten yet, we can have breakfast together and then we can discuss it. It’s not safe to discuss over the phone!”
