A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 968 Have Dinner Together

"Nonsense!" Marcel immediately stood up in anger, "How could you leave him alone in the hotel?"

"Marcel, don't you feel that you are too good to Adam? As a man, he was devastated after a car accident. I think it's really annoying that you don't criticize him and force us all to give in to him!" Marcel ignored her and headed out.

Ellen also stood up, "Okay, let's go find him!"

They walked out of the restaurant together.

Rae and Gustavo were already seated and Rae asked Gustavo to order, but Gustavo said ladies first. So Rae decided to order two dishes first and let Gustavo order the rest.

Then, just as they took their order, Rae looked up and saw Marcel getting up and heading out, with that pretty girl following behind him. She looked so young, probably even younger than she was. She chased after Marcel and took him by the arm. Marcel glared back at her, but she didn't care and gave him an ingratiating smile.

Marcel looked at her and finally compromised. They walked out with their arms linked.

Rae was slightly stunned and sighed internally.

Soon, she turned her face to Gustavo, her expression calm.

Gustavo naturally saw the look on Rae's face. He was surprised that Rae could quickly adjust her mood and face him so calmly. Frankly, Gustavo was happy to have dinner with Rae today because it meant that he still had a chance, so he purposely got himself dressed up to look good, but Rae didn't seem to pay attention to what he wore.

She poured a cup of tea for Gustavo and said, "Gustavo, thank you for helping me these days. I will buy you a good meal today. I've known you for so many years and I've always known you as a great friend!"

Come on!

She was going to let him out completely!

Gustavo was sad and looked bad, but soon he smiled, "You don't have to be so polite!"

"I'm not, so I'm eating with you!" Rae said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for your help!"

Gustavo smiled too, "You're a smooth talker!"

While waiting for the food to be served, Gustavo suddenly thought of the gossip that circulated in the office this morning. He casually asked, "Well, Rae, I have a question to ask you!" "Hmm!" Rae picked up a cup of tea and brought it to her mouth.

Gustavo thought for a moment and said, "Is it true that Captain Hopkins has something wrong with him?"

Rae spat out her tea!

Luckily, she kept her head down. Otherwise, she would have spat out tea on Gustavo.

"Who said that?" Rae asked.

"It was you who said it!" Gustavo was honest and directly said, "It was you who said that Captain Hopkins had a problem and that was one of the reasons why you broke up!"

"Ah!" Rae was stunned. Lexie was such a gossiper! She was speechless. If Marcel knew what Lexie said, he would definitely pick with her. Also, Marcel heard what she said to Lexie today. It was probably going to be a big misunderstanding.

"Is that true?" Gustavo was still waiting for Rae's answer.

Rae felt that it was a trap. She shook her head and said, "All I can say is that I didn't say anything like that! That's not what I meant! That's all I can say to you."

Gustavo understood instantly. Rae meant that she knew there was nothing wrong with Marcel. In other words, they had lived together and she knew Marcel. Gustavo didn't say anything more. Rae didn't explain any further.

After that, they started to eat.

While eating, Rae pretended to ask casually, "Gustavo, do you know when Easton came to our office?"

Gustavo was slightly stunned and thought for a moment, "Easton, huh?"

"Yeah!" Rae nodded, "You've been at the office for so long. I remember that you've all been working here for a long time when I came to work. You're all seniors, and so is Garbassi!"

"Easton has been here for years!" Gustavo said, "Easton was here before I came. Garbassi was a little later than Easton!"

"Hmm!" Rae continued her casual tone, "Garbassi and Easton are both elites. They have been dedicated to their work for so many years!"

Gustavo suddenly frowned suspiciously, "Rae, are you trying to flatter them?"

Rae was stunned and immediately shook her head, "I think so from the bottom of my heart!"

"Haha," Gustavo laughed, "They'd be so proud if they heard you!"

"I mean it. I think Easton and Garbassi are really awesome. They have worked in one place for so many years. Easton hasn't changed his workplace, has he?" Rae added, "It's a kind of perseverance!" Gustavo laughed, "Easton used to stay in a police station in the town for many years before he was transferred here!"

"Then where did he stay before?" Rae was already a little anxious but still pretended to ask casually.

Gustavo said a place.

Rae suddenly became silent. Her expression was frozen, but in an instant, she put on a normal expression. The place Gustavo said was a primary-level police station, where Kane had also worked for many years.

So, Easton and Kane had known each other for a long time.

That day, the report from Sophie was intercepted by Easton midway. He didn't know exactly what was tested, but Kane must have guessed it, so Kane let Easton change the test result, which caused her to make a wrong judgment!

Easton?

Rae smiled quietly.

Probably neither Kane nor Easton would expect her to find out that!

Rae was relieved to be sure of this. At least she would be careful about Easton in the future.

After dinner, Rae said goodbye to Gustavo. She didn't go back to the office but went out.

She walked very slowly. Her feet were covered with wounds and it hurt, but she still kept walking because the pain could stimulate her brain and keep her awake.

She walked slowly at first, then faster and faster. She could hardly feel the pain. She was numb from the pain!

When Rae walked in front of a jewelry store, she saw a large advertisement showing a man holding a woman's hand and putting on a diamond ring for her. She looked up at the advertisement with great envy. She would probably never have such an opportunity in her life!

Marcel would become a lover deep inside her heart that she could never reach!

She would never love any man again! Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice a wheelchair rushing out from inside. The wheelchair seemed to be out of control and couldn't stop, rushing at Rae. Being caught unawares, Rae was hit by the wheelchair. Both the wheelchair and the person in the wheelchair fell to the ground, and Rae fell to the side.

Rae instantly came back to her senses, and as soon as she looked up and saw the wheelchair tipped over, it occurred to her that perhaps she stood in the wrong place, obstructing the wheelchair, and therefore caused that person to fall.

She immediately got up in embarrassment and hurried to check if the owner of the wheelchair was injured. She scrambled to help that person, only to find that he was a man, quite good-looking, about 25 or 26 years old.

However, the man's face was gloomy and very pale. It seemed that the depression around him could not even be defused by the sunlight.

Rae hurriedly said to the young man, "Well, I'm sorry. Can I help you up? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

The young man sat on the ground, in a very awkward state, and his hair was messy. When he heard Rae's voice, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Rae. Then, his originally gloomy face instantly became bright as if a person who had walked in darkness for countless hours suddenly saw the light.

Rae was surprised by the look on his face. Her heart instantly beat fast. A strange feeling made her look at this young man carefully. Perhaps because of the detective's force of habit, she was very interested in this young man. Because she had a strange feeling, especially when he stared at her with wide eyes.

Rae had an inexplicable feeling. She felt that this man might know her.

Sure enough, the man called out her name the next second, "Rae, Rae!"

Rae was shocked. She looked at the man in front of her with wide eyes, and almost instantly many images flooded her head. Of course, these were all images of her imagination. She thought of what Reuben had said. Adam? Could he be Adam?

Marcel said that Adam's feet were disabled. He could never stand up again. Rae stared wide-eyed at the man's feet in front of her. His feet were still on his legs, but there should be something wrong with his legs.

Rae asked softly, "Do I know you?"

The man seemed to look at Rae with disbelief.

After about 10 seconds of silence, the man gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Haha, Rae, you don't even want to know me, do you?"

Rae instantly knew who this man was.

He still sat on the ground with a sorrowful expression on his face. He looked at Rae with disappointment and despair.

Rae also looked at him and saw despair in his eyes. Instantly, she also felt sad. She felt sad for such a young man to be disabled with both legs. She said in a low, uncertain voice, "Adam?" When Rae called out his name, Adam's eyes widened almost instantly.

"Rae!"

Rae was sure that this man was Adam.

She looked at him with her clear eyes. She asked softly, "Are you really Adam?"

"Rae, what's wrong with you?" Adam suddenly thought of something and looked down at his legs. Then he gave a smile that was worse than crying, "Oh, did I scare you by the way I look? I had a car accident! Then, I couldn't walk."

Rae suddenly felt a little sad. If this man's legs were disabled because of her, then he should hate her, but he didn't act like he hated her at all. On the contrary, he looked depressed as if he was bothered by the fact that his disability made him embarrassed in front of her.

Rae stared at Adam, not knowing what to say. She had nothing to do with this man. She was not Rae. She only lived by Rae's name, but the man in front of her was disabled because of Rae.

Adam was quite good-looking. If he didn't look so gloomy, he would be a young and cheerful boy. But he was hit by distressing experiences and got devastated. After the car accident, he was even more devastated, which caused his current gloomy temperament.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
