A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 251 Ignored

“Let me walk you home!” Julian said in all haste. “It’s so late. When you arrive at NT Mountain, there might be no transport!”

“Ah!” Leila was surprised for a moment. “No, thanks. I can just call a cab!”

“Damn. Am I a devil? Why do you hate me so much?” Julian raised his pretty eyebrows. “Is it that bad? You told me that you know I’m not trying to get you.”

“Well.” Leila felt embarrassed after she heard it. She shook her head and let out a bitter smile, “I’m really capable of going home alone!”

“Leila, I found you quite stubborn! Can’t you just take it I’m pursing you?”

“I’m not a narcissist. If I believed that every man around is pursing me, I would be mentally. I just don’t like to bother other people. That’s all!

“Then just get into my car. I’m driving a cab today. You can pay if you feel necessary. “ Julian said it without embarrassment. “I’ll give you a discount. How about that? “ He winked.

Leila was stunned by the gleam behind his glasses, feeling that it would be inappropriate if she refused. “Well, thanks. But I will pay you the full price. I don’t want you to lose money.

Julian cast a glance at Leila from the rearview when she got into the car. He found her rather surefooted. She became a public servant in this city at such a young age. Although the salary was good, he thought it was pity that a girl like her didn’t chose a more promising job.

Before he could even start the engine, Leila’s phone rang.

The name shimmering on the screen was Vincent, which startled her. She looked out of the window subconsciously. She vaguely saw his car there.

“Hello?”

“Get out of that car!” The words sounded cold on the phone.

“You’re here?” She asked tentatively.

But the phone was hung up. No, it was just that her phone out of battery. Leila stared at her phone motionlessly.

But Julian had already started driving before she could make a choice.

Get out of the car to do what?

She didn’t do it, but she was somehow terrified, which twisted her features.

“What’s wrong?” Julian cast a glance at her.

“Nothing!” She shook her head and looked out from the window subconsciously. This time she didn’t see that car. Maybe it was never there. She shook her head, thinking that she must be delusional. He had other women to keep him accompanied. What was she expecting? It had just been three days. How could she think of this?

The car was moving fast. Leila shot a glance at the man in front of her and could not help asking, “Why you are here?”

“I’m here for you!” He said it straightly. “My dad is also working overtime tonight. I thought that you might be short of transport when you are off work, so I went here. By the way, how’s your body? Did the wounds get worse?”

How could she not be touched by these words? There was nothing in his eyes but concern. It was something even worse for her. “I’m okay now.”

She thought of those scratches handled by Vincent, and her mind flew towards a realm unknown by others.

“Thank god! I’m relieved!” Julian smiled again.

She also put on a smile, “You’re really a taxi driver?”

He smiled and shook his head, “No!”

“Then what’s your job?”

“A journalist. I’m experiencing the life a taxi driver and I’ll write an article about it. I rent this car and when I have time, I will drive it and take passengers!” From NôvelDrama.Org.

“No wonder! I never believed that you’re a taxi driver.” She remembered that the car that gave her car scratch was obviously not a taxi. Besides, he was the son of Director Gordon, which made it less possible.

“Why can’t I?” He raised his eyebrows.

“Because you don’t look like one!” She smiled and cast him a glimpse. His features were quite feminine.

“So what do I look like?” Julian sounded curious.

“Like a pretty boy!” She was straightforward.

“Well...” Julian rolled his eyes, seemingly embarrassed. He coughed and said, “Don’t you think that was too much!”

“I’m just kidding!” She smiled, imitating him.

“Are you imitating me?”

Leila bite her lips and said, “You are a good journalist. I haven’t expected that you would lose money to experience the life of a cab driver!”

“Nah! The company will pay for it. I’m not that silly.”

“Really? I thought you were willing to lose money!”

“I’m not that silly!” Julian smiled and said, “By the way, if my dad makes it difficult for you, you can tell me. I’ll tell him to stop!”

“Director Gordon is a nice person. He won’t do that to me.”

“Right. You are the son of the mayor. How can my dad dare to offend yours?”

“Is my dad really that powerful?” She wondered if she made the right decision that she worked for government. Many knew she as the step daughter of the mayor, but few knew that he was her biological father.

“It’s said that you dad is a fierce leader. But I don’t know if it’s true!”

Leila smiled. She didn’t want to make judgement about her dad’s personality, because she actually didn’t approve something he had done, like his affair with her mother. He betrayed her aunt, so she was born secretly. She didn’t want to argue about it since her mom did it willingly. But she didn’t like that and she didn’t even like her mom. But she could not say anything more about it。

“Leila, why did you marry at such a young age?”

Her mind went blank for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “Does that matter? A woman will get married sooner or later.”

Julian looked away when he heard the answer. “Does he cherish you?”

“He does.” She didn’t want to talk about her marriage. It was her privacy and it didn’t need to be known by others.

“Okay!” His eyes dimmed and he became silent.

Soon they arrived home. She wanted to pay after she got off the car. But he refused. He held her hand and said, “I was just joking. But you better buy me dinner tomorrow. You’re so adorable. Good night, beautiful miss.”

“Thanks. I’ll buy you dinner!” Leila smiled and stopped trying to give him money. But all of a sudden a Bugatti slid into the mansion gate.

She was terrified because she had not expected that Vincent was really following them. She wondered if the car she saw before was his car.

Meanwhile, Julian noticed the Bugatti and there was a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes...

Vincent could barely control his anger now after he saw this.

In the rearview, his wife, Leila, was sent home buy a man in the middle of the night. And she seemed happy while talking to this guy.

He had not expected that his meek wife, although sometimes she would fight against him, now smiling and talking to another man. Does she a hooker or something?

Lelia sent off Julian and turned around and felt something wrong. She shivered and realized that she irritated him. But it was hardly her fault because her phone was suddenly dead. “Vincent, My phone...”

“You seemed very happy with that man.” He interrupted, “Do my word mean nothing to you?”

She wanted to say that her phone was dead. But his interruption made her speechless. A curve appeared on his thin lips. No one knew what emotion was hidden in his deep eyes.

She gave up on defending herself and waited for his punishment.

Looking at this meek woman, he finally felt his anger vented out. “Who do you think you are? A whore? You just can’t live without a man’s company?” He scolded.

She just lowered her head and stared at her tiptoe. His words were sharp like knife cutting through her heart. But she could not argue and she didn’t want to say anything. She found the tip of her shoes were worn-out. She felt maybe she should buy a pair of new shoes.

But Vincent felt something wrong as he went on. There was no regret on her face. She looked very calm. So he stopped.

SH waited for a moment. She raised her head when he stopped. She intended to explain. But she only met his gloomy face. She sighed. This man slept with different women every night, yet she could not talk to another guy?

She took out a bottle of water from her bag as he stared at her. Then she gave it to him.

He was surprised. Then he frowned.

“Vincent, are you thirsty? Have some water!” He had been scolding her for. She felt he might be thirsty.

“Damn it!” He finally understood what he meat. He growled and found the carelessness in her eyes. She didn’t care about what he said. He was infuriated, but he didn’t want him to be seen like this. So he just walked in.

She looked at the bottle in her hand, shrugged and drank some water. Mineral water tasted better than purified water. She decided to only drink the former from now on.

Then she walked in. Under the bright light, Vincent was standing in the hall, giving off a frightening vibe. He just glared at her. His gaze was concentrated.

There was nothing but coldness and tension in the air. She just stood there worriedly. Then she took a deep breath and went upstairs.

Then her gaze became sharper, because she ignored him.

He looked at her back with her somber eyes and his anger froze. In an instant, a sarcastic smile touched his lips. Then he went upstairs.

She walked in her room, took a shower and changed her clothes. Then she got a call from Macey. “Leila, what the hell was going on? The bastard Vincent has uploaded that video online. Do you know that?”
