A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 789 It Was a Tart Feeling

They were having a good time from their big bed to the bathroom. It kept happening back and forth until she almost forgot who she was.

He was so gentle, it was an experience that she never had! She was completely obsessed with his skill. She kept screaming presumptuously while enjoying the moment.

When she woke up again, it was already evening. The sun was setting. Sylvie stretched out her sore arm to touch beside her side. Marley was not there, where did he go?

She put on her clothes while reminiscing about the moments they had during the daytime. He was so gentle, it was so passionate. Both of them were completely exhausted and their strengths were long gone. Her body was sore and tired. It was because of her being overly presumptuous from before that she ended up in this situation.

She stretched out her hand to touch her belly. Ah! Unfortunately, her baby was fine!

When she remembered about his gentle look during the daytime and the way he whispered ‘I love you’ in her ears, she smiled.

Did he really fall in love with her?

When she looked at the time, it was already past six o’clock in the evening! It happened to be dinner time too, she was wondering that what he was doing?

When she opened the door of the bedroom, she peeked in the corridor. She saw a light coming out from the study room. She walked over silently and found out that Marley was sitting in front of the table while looking at the folders on the computer. When she saw him, she just felt a sense of happiness.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Sylvie moved back a little and heard Marley’s conversation. “Father, yes! It’s okay, everything’s fine between us. I know what I’m doing, you and mother don’t have to worry too much about us!”

It was his father who called.

Marley said a few more words. At this moment, he hung up the phone and raised his head. He saw Sylvie and waved at her, “Sylvie, are you awake?”

She walked over and replied gently, “Yes! I feel a little hungry!”

He smiled, “Just a moment, I’ll finish this soon. I will bring you out for dinner, there’s nothing to eat at home now.”

“Yes!”

He looked at her again. He quickly lowered his head back to his computer and started typing.

“What do you want to eat?” He asked while typing.

Sylvie thought for a while, she suddenly thought of eating seafood, “Let’s have some seafood then!”

“Uh!” Marley smiled and felt startled. She had never expressed her request this way. He was feeling warm and happy. He stood up and walked towards her. He took her hand and said, “Okay! Let’s get dressed and head out for dinner. There are many seafood stalls below the mountain. There is a lot of delicious food!”

“Okay!” Sylvie nodded, she was so hungry. “I’ll get dressed up now!”

Marley was ready when she was done dressing up. Both went downstairs.

The seafood stall was not so far away from their villa.

Sylvie sat by the window in the private box. Marley was wearing plastic gloves to peel the lobster for her, “Sylvie, eat this. It’s nutritious! Eat more!”

“Okay!” Sylvie stretched out her head and opened her little mouth to eat the lobster meat that was fed to her. Her mouth was completely stuffed.

Marley looked at her pamperingly. “What else do you want to eat?”

“I have more than enough!” She looked at the food in front of her, it was too much and she was completely full. Surprisingly, she did not feel like vomiting! That was great!

The seafood stall was close by the beach. Asides from having such a beautiful atmosphere, their food was fresh! So did their vegetables!

When the waiter came in to serve something, she saw Marley and suddenly pointed at him, “Hey! You, aren’t you Mr. and Mrs. Hughes? You are still together, right!”

Both Marley and Sylvie were startled for a while. Uh! Someone recognized them! She looked like someone who loved gossiping!

“There’s something wrong about the news in the newspaper! Mr. Hughes is so gentle at Mrs. Hughes. How could it be true!” The waiter continued and suddenly she thought of something. She smiled awkwardly, “Mrs. Hughes, Mr. Hughes is really kind!”

Marley and Sylvie looked at each other. Both were speechless.

It seemed like they suddenly became celebrities!

Marley replied, “Yes, the news was inaccurate. I only do love my wife, Sylvie!”

Sylvie could not help but started blushing when Marley was being serious.

“This is the scallops which you ordered! Mr. Hughes, you’re such a kind man!” Both of you will be happy! I’m not going to interrupt the both of you!”

The waiter left after the food was served.

Sylvie pouted at Marley and laughed sarcastically. Her tone showed a little dissatisfaction about what Marley told the waiter earlier. “Action speaks louder than words when it comes to love!”

Marley frowned at Sylvie as if he was being accused, “Babe, I’m just telling the truth!”

“If you repeat a lie a thousand times, it will become the truth instead!!”

“How’s that possible, I don’t lie!” Marley frowned seriously and explained, “Babe, I swear to God that I only love you! I’d never lie at you!”

“Is that true?” She looked distrustful. “If you fall in love with a woman so quickly, how about your five years relationship with Jemima?”

Marley was startled, he was feeling awkward.

Sylvie felt that she sounded jealous in front of him. When she realized it, she quickly covered her mouth.

Oh god! It was too embarrassing!

When Marley looked at her adorable face, he suddenly smiled. “I really don’t know what she is thinking about! It’s not good to love you and even worse if I don’t! Sylvie Mccarthy, what do you want?”

“That goes back to the man’s heart, a woman wouldn’t know what he was thinking about either!” Sylvie raised her eyebrows and thought for a while. “If you think that I’m not good enough, you can go back and find your ex-girlfriend!”

“Babe, it’s my fault. Let’s not fight over this, okay?” Love isn’t a game, forever isn’t easy. Don’t fool around! I’d like to apologize to you!”

Marley peeled a scallop and dipped it with vinegar and fed it to Sylvie.

When she felt the sour taste, her appetite suddenly came back. “It’s delicious! Let’s eat too!”

It was not nice to fool around! There was something that should be stopped before going too far! If it was too much, it would be too unreasonable! Sylvie knew about this too.

After they finished their dinner, Marley sent her back home!

After Sylvie finished showering, she sat downstairs and watched television. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Sylvie, let’s go to work with me tomorrow!” Marley also finished showering as he slowly walked down!

When Sylvie turned her head around, her crystal-like black pupil glowed with a strange light. Her eyes met with Marley’s, “I’ve never wanted to do business, it’s not my favorite job!”

Marley pouted with a smile, there was a sense of pampering and approving at the same time!

He went to pour a glass of water. He was bringing it over while replying, “You were doing great. Don’t be mad and forget about your responsibilities and obligations! Let’s go back to work, babe!”

“I don’t want!” Sylvie shook her head persistently. “I don’t like it, I don’t want to do anything that is related to business!”

Marley curled up with a smile. He replied, “I know that you don’t want it, I don’t want it either. Is it okay not to care about the family even if you don’t want to? It’s not about the family business but those who work for the company. It might affect their lives! Don’t be too selfish! Think about those people, babe!”

Sylvie was startled.

Yes, it was Cassius who said it yesterday that no matter what, she would be given the family’s name. If someone were to donate everything, she would be the person. It was also the problem about ten thousand workers getting paid, was it a responsibility?

When it was about the employment problem of so many people or even their families, it was not just a responsibility but also a social responsibility!

Sylvie took a deep breathe when she thought about it. Honestly, was it necessary to go back to work with him instead?

“You don’t want to work with me!” Marley brought a glass of water and walked towards her. “I’m sorry, Sylvie. Before this, I was being emotional. I’d like to make it clear with you!”

As he was approaching her, she quickly grabbed the glass of water and drank it. She felt a little panic. Then, she quickly calmed herself down and smiled a little. She said, “It’s not that I don’t want to work with you, I don’t want to feel wronged! To be honest, your company is strange! You’re the president! You can’t decide about anything! It’s always your father who can decide everything! It’s clearly a corrupt practice yet it was arranged that way and I don’t want to work in this kind of working environment!”

Marley twitched his mouth with a smile in his eyes. He picked up the glass and put it on the table. “Babe, are you talking about Ernie?”

“Yes!” Sylvie nodded.

“It’s rare that you think for me again! Everything will be better, it will be clear soon. There’s no eternal secret in this world no matter what it is! I will investigate it! I’m glad that you’re not standing by my cousin!”

“I am only taking about business!” Sylvie replied steadily.

Marley pursed his thin lips lightly and replied, “Hehe, I believe that you’re trying to defend my interests!”

“It’s up to you, I’m going to take a vacation. I’ll think about it and let you know. During this time, don’t force me to do anything!” Sylvie slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

Marley laughed silently when he heard about what she said. His deep laughter was about to burst out from his chest.

When Sylvie saw his charming smile, her heart just swayed away uncontrollably.

He walked towards her front, “Okay, I’ll give you a week to rest! But during this week, you must accompany me to work. You can have a vacation in my office! Anyways, there’s a lounge inside!”

When Marley finished his sentence, he suddenly leaned on her ear. His hot breath swept across her sensitive ears. There was a strong ambiguity in his eyes.

Sylvie’s heart suddenly trembled. She quickly turned her face away to avoid his deadly breath but her face turned red instantly.

Her embarrassment immediately triggered Marley to have a hearty burst of laughter.

He immediately stroked her hair which was dropping down in between her forehead. He sighed gently, “Remember to let me see you around at any time!”

Sylvie raised her head. Her eyes were filled with a faint sullenness, she replied, “This isn’t a vacation at all, it looks like I still have to go to work! I don’t want to!”

Marley leaned over and kissed her forehead while patting her head gently. He frowned gently with his handsome eyebrows, “If you’re not by my side while looking or watching after me, I’m afraid that you

will misunderstand me. You might even not believe in me! I want you to look after me for twenty-four hours. Also, I’d like to do something! Can you do me a favor?”

“What is it?” Sylvie was puzzled as she chuckled a little. She realized that she was in fear and trepidation!

“I’d like to meet with Jemima to get several things clear!” Marley looked into her eyes and said honestly, “I’d like to know what happened before, I’d like to make sure things are clear!”
