A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 408 Defeated Instantly

He couldn't tell her anything, since whenever he tried to contact Leila, his mother was monitoring even the phone, and she would send the video out, which would only make the situation worse.

He couldn't allow Leila to be in the same situation as Macey, since that would drive Leila as well as himself up the wall.

The voice message sent by Arthur made him hear Leila's sad singing, and the song "Too Wronged" made his heart sore that he almost suffocated.

"Vincent, I brought you food!" Pippa's voice sounded at the door of the president's office, with a hint of expectation, a hint of excitement, and a hint of tension.

Vincent's falcon-like gaze condensed and precipitated a shock of coldness, as it swept towards her.

"Vincent, hurry up and eat!" Her cherry red lips curled up, there was a little bit of invisible tenderness in her tearful smile. Pippa tried hard to make herself look calmer, but she couldn't suppress the excitement of marrying Vincent.

Various complex emotions flashed across Vincent's cold face. Looking at Pippa who was still entangling him like this, there was a cold flash in the deep black eyes.

Standing up, he staggered, because he had been sitting for too long, and his legs and feet were numb. Vincent had never felt such a cold. It seemed that he was frozen including his blood. He was forced to this point by his own mother. This was the most painful part of being her son.

"Vincent?" Looking at Vincent walking outside with a cold expression, Pippa quickly turned around and followed him, grabbing Vincent's arm anxiously.

Vincent turned around and saw Pippa's hand, his eyes suddenly drenched, and he said coldly, "Let go of me!"

"Vincent, you need to eat!" Pippa said anxiously. "You haven't eaten anything since noon until now. How can you do this to yourself? Your body won't be able to handle it!"

"Let go!" It was still the two words of indifference, revealing the icy cold, the eyes shot at her like sharp swords, making Pippa not knowing what to do. After a long time, she said, "Mom, Mom said that if you don't listen to me, she will send it out!"

His eyes were tight again, Vincent's big hand was clenched on his side, and the sadness fell deeply into his black pupils. She would really do anything.

Why did his heart hurt like this, it was torn bit by bit. Bloody was his broken soul, and he was unable to piece it together again. All these years, why? Was his mother really revenging his father?

His heart fell into the boundless darkness. Vincent felt the pain for the first time, losing her love, losing a close relative, while his mother, the only blood relative he had, treated him this way.

What scruples did he have? He couldn't allow anyone to hurt Leila, no. As if making up his mind, Vincent exuded a dark breath, and returned to his executive chair. Pippa was taken aback. What happened to Vincent? Why did she find Vincent a little darker just now, as if he was an emissary back from hell?

After the light passed by on him, Vincent's black eyes were silent without any emotion.

Pippa opened the food box, Vincent didn't look at it nor eat it.

"Pippa, we have known each other for many years." Vincent lit a cigarette, his tone was low and tense. Why did the elegant, well-known and gentle Pippa become like this?

"What do you want to say?" Pippa raised her eyes and looked at Vincent. The light shone his face, but it couldn't dissolve the indifference on his face at all. Instead, it outlined a circle of dark color, making the pair of eagle-like black eyes stand out. They were sharper and more compelling, dark, like a boundless abyss, which seemed to draw all the darkness into it.

No wonder that Pippa was so obsessed with Vincent, because he really had a poppy-like temperament. This man was cold and noble, introverted and quiet. He was arrogant and not easy to get close to, but he had the aura of a king that made people surrender. Especially at this moment, he seemed to emit a dark light, while you knew the danger, but it was like a poppy, immersing people in it.

"Do you know me?" Vincent raised an eyebrow.

"I..." Pippa paused and whispered, "Of course I know you, I know you better than Leila, and I can help you in your career better than Leila. You are kind and passionate-"

"You may not know that if you really irritate me, I will be ruthless and cruel!" Interrupting her coldly, Vincent took a deep breath of his cigarette, looking at Pippa's shocked face, Vincent said indifferently, "You will not be happy with me!"

"I don't care, I just need to be by your side!" Pippa said anxiously. "As long as I can see you, I can feel happy!"

"You are so lost!" With a cold sentence, Vincent sarcastically smiled, and his eyes flickered. All those who owed him, he would ask them to pay back, one by one.

Standing up abruptly, Vincent walked out.

"Vincent, where are you going?"

"To see her!" Vincent glanced at Pippa coldly, then walked out.

"I will go back with you!"

"Go back by yourself, don't mess up my car!" Vincent said coldly.

Pippa was as if hit by a sword. "You, do you think I am dirty?"

"Are you clean? You don't think I will want a woman who has given birth to someone else's child?" Suddenly he laughed coldly, the long laughter revealed his indifferent sarcasm, and he strode towards the elevator. He said the words that he was once afraid might hurt Pippa, since in this moment, he didn't care whether he was vicious or not. In the end, he would not compromise.

When Leila and Arthur walked into the room together, Renee was still singing, Miyamoto was smoking a cigarette, his eyes fell on Renee, or on the video on the screen. For a moment, Leila felt a little weird.

Renee actually sang an English song, the theme song of "Ghost". Oh! God! Leila sighed. The lyrics and the sad tone was so heartbreaking that Leila couldn't help to feel her nose itch again. She found that she and Renee were both easily sad.

Actually, what was the big deal? Leila shook her head vigorously and walked in.

She staggered because she didn't pay attention, and Arthur immediately supported her, "Is everything all right?"

"Yes, it is a little dark, I didn't see!" Leila explained. "Shhh! Renee sings really well! Mr. Black is fascinated!"

He glanced at Leila worriedly. After making sure she was really okay, Arthur turned his eyes to Miyamoto, Miyamoto's eyes looked thoughtful in the darkness, as if his thoughts drifted somewhere along the way Ghost, such deep love. The moment the male protagonist finally kissed the female protagonist in the holy aperture in the video, Leila's tears fell.

Love was so deep, but they were separated, and would never see each other again, all they had left were longing.

Renee's heart was also sour. After finishing, she put down the microphone, the room became quiet again. Arthur applauded first.

"Thank you, I can't sing well!" Renee was a little shy.

Arthur yelled, "I am applauding for their love, and who said the applause was for your singing!"

"Ah-" Renee was surprised. "So I overthought it?"

"Hahaha..." Arthur laughed, "You are really self-conscious!"

"Arthur, you are so annoying, you don't leave me any face at all!" Renee was angry and funny, and walked over, grabbing the beer on the table and started drinking.

Leila's eyes were quick and she grabbed her hand. "You can't drink this, drink some milk!"

"It's okay, I want to drink!" Renee smiled at Leila. "Get drunk tonight!"

"You are not in good shape, you can't drink!" Leila didn't forget that she had just had a miscarriage and tremendous bleeding. Strictly speaking, it hadn't been a month since her delivery yet. She shouldn't be outside anyways. If she drank alcohol, she would die! Leila was very serious, and Renee nodded.

"Leila, you are so kind!" She was really grateful to Leila. She was scolded by her parents at home, saying that she was low and lost the face of Bryne's family. From the day of the bleeding till now, Renee had never received warmth from anyone else than Leila.

Of course, she had to depend on herself, but Renee was still eager to get the understanding of her parents, but it is so difficult, so difficult!

It seemed that as long as a girl had a miscarriage, if the news spread, it would be hopeless for this person and she would become damaged goods, and there would be no happiness at all.

Those memories left by Callum were so painful and unbearable, those lingering sentiments, lingering nightmares but they were so entangled, and endless.

Many times she dreamed of Callum and the scene under the tree that year, he was dressed in fluttering white, smiling so brightly. She was dreaming of the playground, where he was leaning against the railing in the wind flirting with other girls with a wicked smile on the corners of his lips.

In fact, it was really just a memory, and it really hurt too much!

"Why can't you drink, Renee? Let's drink together!" Arthur didn't know what happened to Renee, and called out for her to drink.

Leila slapped him on the shoulder, and Arthur was taken aback. "What happened?"

"Renee can't drink!" Leila solemnly said to Arthur. "Don't make her drink!"

Miyamoto suddenly walked out and shouted at the waiter in the corridor. "Waiter, a cup of hot milk!"

Everyone was puzzled.

When the milk came, Miyamoto pointed directly at Renee, "For this lady!"

Renee was surprised.

Suddenly Leila was puzzled. Renee should drink hot milk during her post-delivery month, but how did Miyamoto know that Renee needed hot milk?

Arthur frowned and blinked, and asked doubtful, "Miyamoto, you, do you know Renee?"

Miyamoto said disapprovingly, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Damn! I find that sometimes you have the same virtue as Vincent, you're so choking when you talk! You are the same type of bitches." Arthur took a sip from his glass. "But I guess you must know Renee's secret!"

Renee looked at Leila. Leila was taken aback and shook her head. She hadn't said anything.

Renee lowered her head and picked up the warm milk on the table, such a warm glass of milk, she whispered to Miyamoto, "Thank you!"

It was so unexpectedly that Miyamoto was such a caring man! Renee guessed that he must know about her miscarriage, but how did he know? Was it on the news? Did he see her bleeding when she was carried away by Vincent at Callum's wedding?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
