A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 973 A Misunderstanding?

Rae didn't answer, she wanted to break free from him, Reuben spoke with his deep voice, “Let me hug you for a moment. Just for a moment.”

Perhaps because he sounded like he was imploring, perhaps Rae sympathize him too much, she stopped struggling in the end.

But at that time, someone was walking out the hotel's lobby entrance. A big and tall man whose face looked cold, with handsome facial features, and firm expression... He was originally walking forward with a slightly cold and expressionless face, he didn't expect that he would see Rae and Reuben standing there when he just got out of the hotel, Marcel's expression turned very cold when he saw them.

Reuben finally let Rae go after tightly hugging her, Rae lifted her head from Reuben's embrace and unexpectedly met Marcel's cold gaze, he just stood not far away from them as he coldly stared at Rae, she felt that Marcel's gaze was blazing, staring at Rae tightly with a slight disdain like he was saying, 'See, I knew you're such a woman.'

Rae's stiff expression made him realize and turn his head, right when Reuben saw Marcel, Reuben's eyes slightly glistened.

Marcel just looked at them for a moment, then he just walked straight to the parking lot without saying anything.

Rae watched as Marcel left coldly, she clearly knew that it would end in such a way but she still felt very sad like her heart was clenched and she couldn't breathe.

However, looking at Marcel's leaving back figure, her eyes were lifeless and meaningless.

Such a feeling continued for only half a minute, Rae soon forced herself to be strong and face everything.

She lifted her head and met Reuben’s gaze, who was looking down at her, Rae was slightly stunned before she spoke to him, “I should leave.”

Reuben immediately stopped her, “You just asked half of it, don't you want to know more?”

Rae shook her head, “I want to know, but you have no intention of telling me... I think this will be a waste of time, besides, I must go back to our office and work!”

Reuben's gaze locked Rae's eyes as he said, “I only know a bit either, tell me, you betrayed me, I was young back then and I didn't understand how to conceal my feelings, I just blurted "break up" out of anger! So I am still really unsure whether that person is there or not, perhaps it is a misunderstanding!”

Hearing that, Rae felt that Reuben's words were real this time, she looked at him, her eyes became compassionate again as she slightly nodded, “I get it, I really should leave now!”

“I'll send you there!” Reuben said.

“No need!” Rae refused.

“Why?” then Reuben said, “Don't tell me that you're still scared Marcel will find out?”

Rae was stunned before she laughed at herself, “All right then, just send me!”

She was coincidentally rushing for time.

Thus, she went to the parking lot with Reuben, she stopped for a moment when she saw Reuben's car was a Rolls-Royce Phantom at that time, she almost instinctively asked, “Is that your car?”

Reuben shook his head, “No, my car is in maintenance, this car had been left unused for years, it used to be my father's!”

Something flashed quickly through Rae’s kind but she didn't dare to believe it, perhaps it was just her random thoughts, but not everyone could have a car like Rolls-Royce Phantom, she suddenly saw the car and became alert.

She turned her head and looked at Reuben who was driving.

Perhaps because Rae's gaze was too intense, it made Reuben couldn't help doubting, he then turned his head and looked at Rae, “What's wrong?”

Rae opened her eyes widely and looked at him, that pair of big eyes looked glistening, watery, and very attractive because she was too focused.

Reuben admitted that he was attracted!

He slightly leaned in, wanting to kiss Rae... Rae suddenly snapped out of it and asked, “How old is your father's car?”

That one sentence interrupted Reuben's dreamy thoughts, in an instant, Reuben's mood died down, he was a bit speechless... Seeing Rae's eager expression, he couldn't help asking her back, “Why are you suddenly interested in the car?”

“Just asking!” Rae immediately explained, afraid that Reuben would doubt something, “I just felt so curious when I suddenly saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom!”

“Are you interested in Rolls-Royce Phantom or my father's car?” Reuben couldn't help asking.

Rae was stunned, she asked him back, “Why do you ask that?”

Reuben just felt that Rae had a certain intention by asking that, but Rae didn't admit it, he looked at Rae, “Isn't that so?”

Rae immediately turned stern, “Then if I'm very interested in your father's car, will you tell me?!”

“This was bought 7 years ago!” Reuben directly said that.

That car was 7 years old!

In an instant, Rae felt at a loss, startled, and even speechless.

Her momentary absent mind made her seem like she was in a daze to Reuben, he couldn't help asking, “What actually happened?”

“Nothing, just send me back!” Rae just said that, leaned back on the seat, and looked outside the car window without saying anything.

After the car arrived to the office, Rae went down the car and walked away without even looking back... Reuben looked at Rae's figure form the back and frowned, he then took his phone and spoke to it, “I've told you to investigate Rae's life activity 7 years ago, how's it going?”

A voice came out form the other end, “Mr. James, I have investigated it, the situation is very bad!”

“How is it bad, say it!” Reuben frowned even worse.

“7 Years ago, Rae and Mr. Stefan...”

“What does that mean?” Reuben raised his voice.

“Mr. James, it's better for us to talk about it face to face, I think that calls are very unsafe!” said by the person on the other end.

Reuben glanced at the time and said, “I will be available at 3.30, find me by then, I'll go to YS Club!”

“Not at YS Club, Mr. James, it's better for us to talk about it somewhere else, I'll find a place, is that okay?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Not at YS Club?

Reuben frowned, “Okay, call me when you've found the place!”

“Will do!”

Rae entered the office building, coincidentally meeting Marcel who had just came out of the basement parking lot, they both wanted to take the elevator.

Rae's mind was all tangled that she stopped walking.

Marcel was already walking over with big steps, he didn't even glance at Rae when he was in front of her, he just pressed the lift button, that was a very long wait, Rae felt kind of like she wanted to escape and walk up the stairs, but she also felt that it would be a clumsy denial if she did that... Thus, she quickly adjusted, standing there and acting calm as she waited for the elevator with Marcel.

Soon, the elevator door was opened, Marcel walked inside.

Rae was at the back, after a pause, she also stepped inside.

At that time, there were only 2 people in the elevator... After going inside, they both faced the elevator door, the glossy and bright elevator walls could easily reflect them, she saw the edge of his lips pursing and his gaze precisely met Rae's gaze, who was secretly looking at him.

Their gazes met, Marcel was expressionless, his eyes were sharp, and deep, they looked like depthless darkness, which could swallow someone into it.

Rae was so afraid that she quickly looked down and stopped looking at Marcel.

But instead, she heard Marcel snorting before saying, “About yesterday, I remember that I came inside, don’t forget to take your medicine!”

Rae suddenly blushed.

Yes, even if they used condoms yesterday... Afterwards, he tore it off.

But saying such a thing at such a time still made Rae blush and awkward, how could he say it like that?

“I don't want you to get pregnant!” Marcel coldly spoke again, “A woman like you is unqualified!”

Another humiliating words, Rae suddenly felt so hurt and so much pain, in the long silence, her eyes became blurry, what had actually messed her eyes up? The wet and messy one was not only her eyes, but her heart too.

She slightly raised her head, her big and moist eyes looked at the reflection of his cold and handsome face on the wall, her heart was broken, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.

She hung her head low and said, “I'll eat the medicine and I won't give birth to your child, I know that I'm unqualified!”

After saying that, Rae stopped speaking as her tear drops fell down... This time, Rae was really hurt!

Marcel looked down and saw the front part of Rae's feet which was already wet.

His pupils tightened as he said even more hurtful words.

“You just finished cuddling with other man, then you come back and cry pitifully to me, Rae, that's your trick, right?” Marcel said that, glanced at Rae in disdain, smiled coldly, and taunted her again, “So

disgusting!”

Rae's heart was torn to pieces.

She suddenly lifted her head and looked at Marcel's eyes with her watery eyes, her lips almost cracked because of her bite, Rae tried hard to bite her lips and shake her head, but she didn't meet his gaze as she softly said, “Hahh.., it is disgusting, but what does it have to do with you? I'm willing to cuddle with others, but what am I willing to do with you? Why are you harassing me in the elevator? Captain Hopkins, please remember it clearly that we have broken up, after breaking up, please don't just casually comment on everything about me, I'll take care of whether I get pregnant or not, you don't need to worry!”

After Rae said that, the elevator door coincidentally opened up.

Marcel's eyes looked angry, “You better not get pregnant, otherwise I'll make you get an abortion!”

Rae coldly glanced at Marcel and angrily said, “I wouldn't want to give birth to a child for a person like you!”

After saying that, Rae left first to the office.

When she walked to the office door, she wiped the trace of tears on her face, took a deep breath, and entered the office.

Behind her, Marcel stood in the corridor, slightly squinting his eyes.

He really didn't understand why Rae always acted like she had justice on her side? She was clearly the fickle and lascivious one, why did she act like a pure and innocent woman?

The more he gave it a thought, the more he was furious... In the end, he snorted, returned to the office, took the phone, and called Lexie. “Inform everyone in the Second Division of Criminal Investigation,

you, and Rae, for a meeting about the Karina and Stanley's case!”

Lexie had yet to gossip with Rae when she accepted the call, just now Rae came inside, the call came right when Lexie wanted to ask, Lexie immediately informed everyone of the meeting and only after that she could ask Rae, “Hey, Rae, did you hear something these two days?”
