A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 786 Till Numb

Marley looked at her. He had to admit that they were just destined to become their own havoc. Whether it was tears or laughter, whether it was a look or a gesture, all could become the reason for their own joy and sorrow.

Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he wasn’t the kind of person who liked to deceive himself. He won’t allow her to leave. Not ever!

“There’s nothing to do about it, our fate has ended. Even if we try again, we’re just going to be troubling each other. I also have to go find my own happiness. And for you, it’s destined that your happiness won’t be me! Besides, you already have Jemima, and she is still very important in your heart! Isn’t she?” Sylvie’s words sounded quietly in Marley’s ears.

Sylvie didn’t want to try anymore. Yet by saying it out like this, her heart was feeling empty and uncomfortable, it had been carrying way too much. Sometimes it hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe, and sometimes it was so hard that it went numb.

“You don’t mean it!” Marley leaned forward all of a sudden. His handsome face that was enlarged in her eyes suddenly had made Sylvie’s heart skip a beat.

“Aren’t you too?” Sylvie asked back with a sneer. She collected her grief and stepped back a bit, looking at him indifferently, “Aren’t you going to go see your old lover Miss Wallace? What’s the point of wasting time with me here?”

“Why can’t you trust me, Sylvie?” Marley moved closer to her and embraced her in his own arms.

His scent wafted in, and Sylvie’s heart trembled. She separated herself from his approaching chest, “Aren’t you going to the office? Let go of me, Marley Hughes!”

“Do you hate me? I’m your husband, and I want you so badly today! I want you so much!” Marley approached dominantly. He was so strong that Sylvie had nowhere to run.

“Don’t you mess around! We will no longer be husband and wife soon and you have no right to do this to me anymore!” Sylvie resisted. The unique scent of his body mixed with the smell of tobacco, turning the scene into a mesmerizing atmosphere, and desires were triggered.

Sylvie suddenly remembered that time in the garage when Marley had sex with her so wildly.

Both of their breathing became rapid. Hers was out of fear and he was out of thirst.

“But you’re still my wife now, and you have no right to refuse me!” Marley quickly kissed Sylvie’s red lips, then continued towards her whole body, not giving her any chance to escape.

Marley had been feeling melancholy and sad these past few days. He found that he missed Sylvie immensely. But as soon as they met, she said she wanted a divorce, making him both angry and sad.

His lips and tongue wrapped around hers, greedily sucking every inch of her mouth. Her soft lilac tongue was desperately trying to get rid of him, but it was wrapped on tighter by him, so tight that she didn’t even have the strength to try and bite it. Her lips were completed occupied by him.

“Mmm—” Sylvie shook her head and tried with all her strength to push away the man who was holding her. She didn’t want it, not one bit. With love and marriage, she really wasn’t having any hopes for them anymore.

“Let go of me, Marley Hughes! Let go!” Sylvie’s tone had gone down cold and said righteously, “Why do you think everything with your dick! You want a woman, then go find Jemima Wallace! Don’t touch me, you’re dirty!”

“You’re my wife, who am I to go to her?” Marley was embarrassed by the remark and his face was on fire. He abruptly leaned down and hugged Sylvie again, kissing her on the lips, “You obviously like my kiss!”

As if to prove his words, Marley kissed Sylvie with an intention. The kiss was gentle and lingering. He had kissed her more deeply and more tenderly, and for a moment, Sylvie still lost herself in it.

The kiss was like a century-long. Marley didn’t let go of her until they were almost out of breath, “Please don’t leave, Sylvie. Didn’t you say you trust me? How can you not keep on trusting?”

Sylvie looked at him and apathy flashed across the bottom of her eyes. She couldn’t help but be emotional, especially when her gaze fell on the hickey on his neck. Her love for Marley was a tumor planted in her body, the venom spread to every cell inside of her. She resented him, but at the same time, it also proved that there was still some love left. Because without love, there wouldn’t be resentment. She thought that love could only dissipate completely if she no longer resented him one day.

“Marley Hughes, we’ve agreed that this is a business marriage from the very beginning! We have each treated each other with respect, and it was you who repeatedly broke your word! Until now, I am still going to say the same thing, let us not go on with this anymore!”

“No!” Marley’s heart ached. He had gotten used to her presence and might even have already fallen in love with her a long time ago! “I do love you, Sylvie!”

Marley hugged Sylvie again and leaned down to murmur into her ear, “Let’s not make a scene!”

Sylvie closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

‘Why would you still come and disturb our hearts, Marley Hughes? You would actually confess your love in self-deception for the sake of the Hughes family!’ She laughed at herself, bent her legs, and

attacked Marley’s weak spot abruptly.

“Ugh!” Marley was unprepared. Even his dick almost couldn’t be saved having gotten kicked by Sylvie like that!

Sylvie took a step back and snorted, “Marley Hughes, you think that I’ll believe you if you confess at a time like this? Don’t make me feel disgusted again!”

After finishing her sentence, Sylvie fled the garage almost as if she was running for her life.

“Sylvie!” Marley bent over and hugged himself, shouting urgently, “Don’t go, what I said is true!”

“I stopped believing in your truth long ago!” Her voice floated in the wind, sounding so determined.

Sylvie ran out of the villa’s gate in one breath.

“Phew—” After exhaling deeply, she suddenly felt that her behavior was so ridiculously childish.

She even used such a way just to escape from him. But it wasn’t her problem, only because he had been always trying to show how manly he was by having sex with her! She was there to tell him she didn’t want it! No!

A black sports car sped past Sylvie at breakneck speed. It was so fast that the wind from the speed blew her hair up.

Suddenly!

The sharp sound of brakes was heard. Sylvie was startled, then the next thing she saw was the car backing up towards her. She subconsciously turned sideways and ducked to the side.

“Get in!” The car window rolled down all of a sudden and she saw the face of Ernie Hughes.

Uh! Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“How are you here?” Sylvie was stunned.

“Are you not getting in?”

“Sylvie—” She heard Marley’s voice coming from the villa, and almost without hesitation, Sylvie ran to the passenger’s side, pulled open the door, and got into Ernie’s car.

“How are you here, Ernie Hughes?”

Ernie frowned, looked at her sideways, and rolled his eyes, “I live over here too!”

“Oh!” Sylvie responded.

Ernie saw her red swollen lips, then swept a glance at Marley who was about to run out from the villa and his heart was very annoyed. He stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car away fast.

The roaring sound of the car on the road early in the morning sounded extra ear-splitting.

The black car sped away.

Marley ran out, having not seen Sylvie, he asked the doorman straight away, “Where did she go?”

“Madam got into a black car!”

“Damn it!” Marley was upset, but there was no way he could catch up. Never mind, he’d better take a shower and go to the office.

Ernie drove Sylvie all the way to the city.

“You can drop me off. Thank you, Ernie.” Sylvie said.

“How can you go back now? There are reporters everywhere, all wanting to interview you!” Ernie said, “There are people in your neighborhood and your place will soon be known. Besides, my uncle and aunt already know what happened and are looking for you everywhere. Luckily your phone’s not turned on. Here, there’s a new number in it, use this. You can give me a call if you need my help.”

“Uh, there’s no need.” Sylvie shook her head, “I can change the number myself if I want to use the phone.”

She put the phone that he passed over on the back seat, obviously not wanting it.

Ernie didn’t refuse either, “Alright then. If you trust me and don’t want to be found by them, I can send you to a place to live for half a month. You can come back when this thing is over.”

“There’s no need. Thank you for your kindness. I have a place to stay.” Sylvie said calmly. Currently, she did need to leave the place where she was living, but that didn’t mean she needed Ernie’s help.

Ernie’s eyes seemed to have an unwilling look, “Sylvie, is there a need for you to be such a stranger with me? It’s obvious that you’re already in a lot of trouble, yet you’re still so bothered by me helping?”

Sylvie looked at him and calmly said, “Yes. I think I should be a little bit more formal with you. Because I really can’t believe that you’d be so kind as to do me a favor! I’m even wondering if you’re the one who purposedly invited the reporters!”

Ernie faintly froze. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled, “It’s okay too! I think it’s quite interesting too if you think so. But are you sure you don’t need my help?”

This man was capable of doing anything, just like a madman. Sylvie didn’t want to mess with him, “There’s no need! Thank you for your kindness.”

Ernie sighed, there were hints of helplessness in his voice, it even exuded some vicissitudes, “I really can’t understand you. You’re still a child yourself, but you’re very composed. Since you’re not afraid of the reporters pestering, then I won’t make a fool out of myself. But do look at your own dark eye circles and the look on your face.”

Sylvie subconsciously touched her face, then shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be relaxed, “It’s fine. It’s normal to stay up late and work overtime every now and then.”

Ernie rolled his eyes at her, “Alright then. Are you sure you want to get off here?”

Sylvie looked at the location and nodded, “Just right here.”

After saying that, she opened the car door and got out of the car.

Ernie looked at Sylvie’s departing back from the car, his eyes narrowed sharply, and grabbing his phone, he dialed a number, “Protect Miss Mccarthy and don’t let the reporters pester her!”

He then hanged up the phone and drove to the office.

The flowing streets were busy and cars were coming and going.

Sylvie went to buy a pair of sunglasses first, then bought herself a hat.

She walked on the street and didn’t really know where to go. Never mind, she just wanted to find a place to eat. She saw a food store and walked inside.

In the Hughes Group.

Marley changed his clothes after taking a shower and came back to the office.

He was standing by the window on the top floor and looking down at the view. The sunlight was shining into his eyes, but there wasn’t any warmth in them. He seemed to be looking at the scenery, but also

seemed to be secretly contemplating. His sculpture-like handsome face had no emotion, only his shadow that was slanting long.

“Are you and Sylvie still not settled yet, Marley?” Tyler couldn’t help but ask as he sat on the sofa and finished reporting on work matters but was still hesitant to speak.

With a cigarette between his fingers, Marley took a puff indifferently, “No! She insisted on getting a divorce!”

“Didn’t you ask why?” Tyler sighed soundlessly and gazed at Marley’s back. There was a hint of worry on his handsome face as well.

“How do I know what’s in a woman’s mind?” Marley was also having a headache at the moment.

“But now you and Jemima are being written like this by the reporters, so what is she supposed to think? She’s definitely going to misunderstand it! A woman’s mind is simple. Tell her you love her, and you want to have a life with her, that’s it. And everything will be okay!”

“I told her! Sylvie said I was acting! She didn’t believe me!” Marley then took another hard puff of his cigarette.
