A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 785 A Unique Woman

Thus, she did not embarrass Marley Hughes in front of Ryan Babel.

However...

How could they even talk if she did not ask him to leave?

Sylvie Mccarthy was stunned while sitting on the sofa. After a while, she leaned against the back of the seat due to fatigue and she smiled with her thin lips vaguely. Her smile was slightly bitter because she could not explain the pain in her heart.

After taking a deep breath, she could reorganize her emotion. When she raised her head, she saw Marley was standing near to her and looking at her as if he was smiling at her. His hair was messy and his clothes were filled with creases. But, his deep eyes became more confident suddenly.

Sylvie admitted that Marley was not the most handsome man but he was the man who she had fallen in love with!

She could not forget that he gave her the crucial check in the nightclub five years ago. His eyes were dazzling like diamonds in the dark sky and his lips clearly outlined the arc of a smile. The moment was like a blooming firework and it was kept in the deepest section of her memory.

But, he was only one of the amazing people in her lifetime and his heart was not on her body!

Even until now, he was still making use of her only!

If this was the reason that made him unwilling to divorce, then she did not matter. She just wished not to disturb the peacefulness of each other.

“What are you thinking about?” Marley sat down opposite her and asked with a slightly unhappy tone.

Sylvie immediately pulled back her thoughts and raised the corner of her mouth. She turned her face sideways and calmness was being expressed by the corner of her eyes. She said indifferently, “Nothing.”

“Oh?” Marley looked at her with the corner of his eyes, “Since you don’t want to let Ryan know about our quarrel, it means that you want to maintain our marriage from the bottom of your heart! Sylvie, I don’t get you. Since you love me, why don’t you continue your love?”

Sylvie raised the corner of her mouth and wanted to laugh but she was unable to do so.

Her heart contracted slightly and the needle-like pain started to spread involuntarily towards her whole body. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She looked at his face which was slim and firm and also his moderately thick lips too. At that moment, he was looking at her with his emotional eyes as if she was a unique woman to him. How could he look at her with such eyes?

‘Marley, is this necessary to still make use of me at this point? Do you use your acting to make me believe in you?’

‘Marley, anyway, I really hope that you are happy. This wish never changes.’

Marley crossed his legs and looked at him with his deep eyes. He looked at her as if he was smiling, “Don’t you feel nervous just now?”

Sylvie indeed felt uncomfortable for an instance and she immediately said, “Yes. I don’t want to let Ryan know because he was going to engage!”

“Urgh!” Marley never thought of this reason but he also breathed a sigh of relief. “With whom?”

“Skyla Harvey!” Sylvie said calmly.

“Since you don’t want to affect his engagement, why not go back with me!” Although he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to grab this opportunity.

Sylvie remained silent.

Marley was waiting for her answer but in vain. He looked at her small face but he saw that Sylvie looked at him sneeringly with indifferent eyes. Marley could not help but choke because he felt panicked unexpectedly. He covered his anxiety without leaving any traces. How could he feel nervous? She was the one who did the wrong thing but not him!

Sylvie looked at the clock on the wall and said, “You may go back!”

Marley was slightly stunned and looked at her deeply. His eyes were looking over her delicately crafted face. “Together! Aren’t you going out?”

Sylvie stood out, “Fine!”

She seemed to be slightly exhausted and absent-minded. After a while, she said, “Then Mr. Hughes, please fetch me to the nearby market!”

Marley truly did not know what Sylvie was thinking about! He could only see that her eyes were indifferent. As if he always looked at the others through a soft and hazy tulle.

He did not talk anymore and followed her to go downstairs.

But, they never thought that they were surrounded by reporters when the car drove out of the area. Actually, the reporters followed Marley’s car and saw him entering the area. So, the reporters gathered and stayed outside. As time went by, many reporters were squatting and standing outside the area. They were just waiting for their presence with cameras, video recorders, and films.

When they saw the car coming out, they surged over the car. The hundreds of cameras immediately captured them. All of them rushed forward and surrounded themselves.

Sylvie who sat in Marley’s car could not open her eyes because of the spotlights. They were surrounded by reporters and Marley truly had no choice but patted on the steering wheel. He horned to ask them to leave.

But, none of the reporters was willing to leave. They continued rushing forward and some even leaned in front of the car. They took a lot of photos with their cameras.

Sylvie looked at Marley and knew that she might be unable to make clear of herself too.

Marley immediately reorganized his emotion and removed the seat belt. Then, he got out of the car.

At that moment, the reporters asked questions rapidly like they were throwing bombs.

“Mr. Hughes, I heard that your wife and you are separated...”

“Mr. Hughes, I heard that you stayed in the house of your previous lover, Jemima Wallace, last night...”

“Mr. Hughes, do you come here to ask for your wife’s forgiveness?”

“Could you reveal the next plan between the Hughes family and the Mccarthy family...”

Marley slightly frowned and looked at them. He could only say, “I love my wife Sylvie, very much. Jemima is just my friend! My relationship with my wife is very good. Please give us some space and I need to bring my wife home! Everyone, please make a move!”

Before the reporters could react, Marley had already got into the car again.

When Sylvie heard his words, she just felt that she was amused!

He lied to the camera because he did not want to divorce and he wanted to uphold the reputation of his company.

At that moment, the security of the area came to direct the traffic. Since many cars were going in and out, all of them were being blocked at the entrance.

Under the security’s control, Marley was finally able to leave.

He drove the car fast to leave the spot immediately.

“Let’s go back to our house!” Marley said.

“No!” Sylvie rejected.

“Aren't you afraid to be surrounded by those reporters if you go back now?” He said rapidly.

Sylvie suddenly felt helpless. Yes! She was afraid! She was pregnant now. Although she never went to the hospital for confirmation, she had not experienced her period. Also, based on her personal instinct, she was pregnant so she could not take any risk!

Baby!

Urgh! She must protect her baby!

But when she thought of her baby, she felt pain in her heart! If the baby was the same as her who did not have a father after being born, his future... When thought of this, she touched her stomach instinctively.

Marley looked at the rear mirror and noticed that some reporters who were not willing to give up were chasing after the car to take some photos. When he was going to look back to the front, he looked slightly to the side and both of them looked at each other coincidentally.

Sylvie was shocked and turned her head away to not to look at him again.

“Someone is chasing behind us so I get rid of them first!” Marley started to speed up his car.

Sylvie was helpless and remained silent.

He drove the car to the villa which was located at the seaside and then entered the garage. Sylvie got down from the car and she felt exhausted. She also knew that she couldn't go back at that moment but she did not want to stay there.

When she turned back, she saw Marley, who was leaning against the door of the car, was looking at her leisurely.

He was truly a handsome man. His eye sockets were deep and his black pupils were like bottomless holes. His eyes were as bright as stars.

“I leave first, goodbye!” Sylvie’s breathing pace was rapid.

She admitted that she was afraid of the man, Marley. She was even more afraid that she would give in uncontrollably!

The man started to speak and his voice was very soft but alluring, “Sylvie, don’t leave!”

Sylvie was stunned for a while and there was a sense of angry being expressed on her face. But, when she raised her head, she still portrayed a perfect smile, “Marley, we are not stupid. Since you have done such a thing, why are you still being so stubborn?”

“I am not acting!”

When Sylvia heard that sentence, she was stunned…

Not acting!

She panicked indescribably and she seemed to become angry. Her face was blushed and she turned around to leave the garage rapidly.

“Stand still!” Marley chased after her rapidly. “I have said that I am not acting. Do you think that I am acting? Sylvie, let me tell you that I wasn’t acting in front of the reporters just now!”

Sylvie stood rooted to the ground and turned around slowly. She saw that his black eyes were extremely deep!

Sylvie stared at him for a while because she could not express her feelings. It was like a mixture of happiness and sadness.

Not acting? Was it real? Was it believable? She was not a three years old child already!

Who believed it!

But, how could he make use of her in such a way? When he was enjoying the happiness, would he think of her dignity and pride also? She was really afraid that everything was like her own acting. And, because of his sentence, how much pride had been crushed by him?

“What are you thinking?” At that moment, he had walked to her front and looked closely at Sylvie’s eyes as if he wanted to know what was in her heart.

“I am thinking what are you thinking?” She blurted out and did not feel awkward at all. “Marley, what do you want to do?”

Marley held her hand and said gently, “What do you think I am thinking? I just want to stay together with you only. No matter how angry, sad or regretful we were, those were only in the past. They can’t

represent tomorrow. I am sorry for you and you are also sorry for me! Can we just wipe them out and live peacefully?”

Sylvie almost suffocated and thought about the meaning of the sentence. “Wipeout? Do you think it is possible to be wiped out?”

Moreover, he was still having a sex scandal with Jemima. How could she trust him?

Marley looked at her and said again, “Are you afraid that the relationship between Jemima and me will become close again? Since you don’t have confidence in me, perhaps you have believed that my relationship with her has become close, right?”

Sylvie was absolutely horrified. ‘Can he read her mind?’

Marley pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, “Do you ever face the problem? Sylvie, do you really consider the problem among us?”

She was staring at him with her fearful, surprised, and blank eyes. When she saw him asking herself with his sharp eyes, Sylvie expressed a slight panic on her face. She immediately turned around her face and looked outside the garage.

Her eyes just now made him recall his past memories suddenly. In previous days, she would raise her head to look at him with her blank and beautiful eyes. There was only gentle in her eyes without any sharpness. But at that moment, there was anxiety in her eyes while looking at himself.

He could not bear smiling in his heart and also sighed secretly. “Sylvie, let’s try again! Can we just give each other a chance?”

Tried again?

Tried what?

That was it. Sylvie looked at him blankly and did not know the reason that made him refuse to let go of her.
