A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 970 Reminisced

Ellen was also angry at being scolded and she said rudely to Marcel, “How do I know he will go out? He is an adult who is handicapped by his legs but not his brain and he should also be capable of taking responsibility for anything he wants to do! Marcel, Adam is my brother and he is not only your cousin! Don’t ever say that I don’t have any relationship with him! I don’t want my brother to have any accidents either! Also, you guys care about him too much! If you let him go, maybe he would be fine by now! It’s not that his leg is not saved, it’s that he doesn’t want to save himself and there’s nothing others can do for him!”

It was the first time Marcel had seen Ellen choking with him like this. What was wrong with her? Why were women so arrogant?

He stared at Ellen and gritted his teeth without saying anything, yet, his face looked extraordinarily dark and gloomy.

Seeing that he no longer said anything, Ellen immediately said, “I’ll call him!”

While saying, Ellen dialed her mobile phone and the call was quickly answered.

Adam was now drinking tea with Rae in a teahouse while reminiscing.

Rae suggested he for rehabilitation but he was hesitating.

When his sister’s called him, he spoke in a pleasant tone, “Ellen!”

“Brother, where have you been? I’m getting scolded by Marcel and if you don’t come back, I may not be able to see you!”

“I’m fine and I’m happy! I’m going out for a walk and having some tea before going back. Don’t worry! I might be back later, you guys just do whatever you want and I’ll leave you alone for now! Don’t worry about me and I’ll take care of myself!”

“Where are you?”

“In a teahouse!”

“With who?”

“An old friend!” Adam looked at Rae who was not only his old friend but she was also a girl whom he had liked for years, he then said into the phone, “Alright, let’s end the call, I’m busy now!”

After saying, Adam hung up the phone.

Ellen glared at the phone as he hung up the phone call! She shook her phone slightly and spoke to Marcel, “You have heard that my brother’s tone of voice is more pleasant! He should now go out for a walk after being kept at home to make his mood cheerful!”

Looking at Ellen’s smug look, Marcel frowned tightly as he was still unable to feel at ease, “Don’t you ask him the exact location?”

“He said in a teahouse!” Ellen wasn’t worried at all. “He is so happy to meet an old friend and who could it be?”

Marcel was also slightly stunned, an old friend?

He was only worried just now and didn’t think deeply. Now that he heard the word and he suddenly thought of something when a possibility flashed inside his mind!

He picked up the phone and dialed Adam’s number.

The phone was suddenly hung up after it rang twice and when Marcel called again, he heard a beep sound showing that the phone was off.

Marcel’s eyebrows knitted together as his cousin really made him worried.

When Ellen looked at Marcel, she then complained, “Marcel, you are over worried about him! He is a big man but not an unweaned baby and you are so annoying like a mum!”

“What do you know?” Marcel threw Ellen a sentence with an impatient expression, yet, he completely treated Ellen as a child who was completely unaware of the dangers of society.

“I only understand that adults need to know how to let go when appropriate! Love is the same, letting go is not giving up, but for a better relationship and a better long term!” Ellen pouted her lips and glanced at Marcel disdainfully. “Marcel, apart from being so handsome, can’t you have some emotional intelligence? I am suspecting that you are going to be single with you look like this! You’re too boring, whoever is your girlfriend will feel extremely boring!”

Marcel, who was holding his phone, was slightly stunned and he looked at Ellen as if something flashed in his eyes!

This was something that Linda had probably said back then when she broke up with him!

How about Rae?

Did she feel bored? Or aggrieved?

Marcel inexplicably thought of what Rae had said in the bedroom last night and she said she loved herself!

Marcel thought back with his vision turning distant.

What was the expression on her face when she said that? She was so sad, desperate and helpless, yet, her expressions were so real. But why did he feel that everything was fake? Why did he suspect the expressions that seemed so real?

Maybe Rae’s reputation was too bad!

He ignored Ellen’s words and after a while, he took his phone and browsed through his address book. His hand paused when he reached the name Rae, he stared at the name for a long time and went silent before he finally pressed the phone gently and dialed over.

Rae was chatting with Adam. When the phone rang, she looked at the phone and saw it was Marcel’s call. She was surprised at first and then a little hesitant as she wondered what was it for?

She waited for the phone to ring for a long time to make sure that this call was not a mistake before she slid open the answer button, put the phone to her ear and whispered, “Hello!”

There was silence on the other end of the phone and Rae followed with another “Hello!” again.

Marcel was silent for a long time and he suddenly became very angry after hearing Rae’s polite but emotionless “hello” from the phone.

She was actually so sensible!

More sensible than him!

Last night, the two of them had been so close but now they were like strangers.

Marcel finally spoke, “Where are you?”

His tone was low and cold, yet, he seemed to carry a commanding tone that could not be rejected.

“Huh?” Rae was surprised, “I’m outside now. Do you have anything?”

“Are you at the teahouse?” Marcel seemed to be testing.

Rae froze and she looked at Adam who seemed excited with a faint and pleasant smile on his face. He seemed to be very happy to see himself in which this made her couldn’t bear to say anything for a

while. She heard Adam answering the phone and he then turned off his phone once he got a call and hung up after that. He probably wanted to reminisce with her which Rae could understand.

And now, when Marcel called, did he guess anything?

Rae wanted to admit that directly but then she suddenly hesitated and said into the phone, “No!”

Marcel also felt that he might have been too sensitive so he didn’t say anything and hung up the phone directly.

Looking at the hung-up phone, she froze and finally smiled before keeping her phone.

Only then did she look at Adam and said, “Sorry, it’s my boss’ call!”

“It’s alright!” Adam shook his head, extraordinarily gentleman, “Rae, I…I…”

Adam had been stammering when he saw her today. He wanted to say something but dared not to say them out and Rae immediately said, “Just say it directly without any avoid. If I do not want to say, I will tell you directly too! I won’t be perfunctory!”

Upon hearing her promises, Adam looked at her with hope in his eyes and said, “Can I have your phone number?”

So that’s what was all about! Looking at Adam’s face, Rae thought as if it was something serious, so she just nodded and gave her number directly!

Adam took a pen and paper and carefully recorded it down, “I’ll record it properly into my phone when I get back to the hotel later!”

Rae nodded and suddenly thought of something, would Marcel misunderstand that she approached his cousin with ulterior motives? It was a coincidence that she saw Adam today, since that was the case,

she hoped that Adam would get better after mentioning it to him just now. He seemed to have rekindled his fighting spirit and Rae felt that she should encourage him, so that’s why she gave him her phone number!

“Adam, how long will you stay in City B?” Rae asked hesitantly.

“I’m here for a tour!” Adam said, “It probably won’t be long!”

After saying that, the expression on his face collapsed in frustration.

“Can you stay for few more days?” Rae wanted to know more about things about previous Rae in these few days, so there was a hint of pleading in her words, yet, she was worried that Marcel might misunderstand something.

Adam was surprised and happy when he heard Rae asking this.

“Me? That’s fine! I have no problem staying as long as I want!”

“Are you staying in a hotel now?” Rae asked.

“Yes! I’m staying in a hotel with my sister! Actually, we can stay in our old house too, but I just don’t like it as it is more convenient to stay in a hotel!”

Only then Rae realized that Adam’s family was originally from City B and they had probably moved away since then! It was no wonder that Marcel had come here too. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Rae pondered slightly, thought about it and finally looked for an entrance topic.

“Adam, as I told you before, I’ve forgotten many things, including the man whom I loved! He came to me after seven years and told me that he still likes me! But I don’t remember any of it!” Rae said while looking at Adam and added, “And, in those five years, I start a new life and have a new lover!”

Upon hearing this, Adam suddenly showed a lost expression that was very sad!

Rae’s heart felt unbearable at once!

Did Adam like Rae that much? So much that he could be sad with just one word?

Rae also sighed in her heart as she was afraid that he would give up himself so she turned her words again, “I broke up with my later boyfriend because of Reuben! Now I can’t even figure out how much debt I owe in the past! Can you tell me what you know about me?”

Adam gained his strength again because of these words, he seemed happy again and he immediately nodded and said, “Sure! Rae, we are very close back then like buddies and you used to hang out with me all the time! You are not as rigid as you are now but you are very friendly, yet, you have your own style! You are the school beauty of the police academy too!”

Rae knew about the school beauty because she had already learned about Rae when she was studying in Rae’s place.

It was just that back then she was very quiet in her studies and she really learned something!

“Can you tell me about my lovers?” Rae asked again, she just wanted to get to the point now and sorted everything out as the real issue was about her past relationships.

Adam smiled to himself. “Back then, my feet were still good, I love basketball as well as you! We used to play at the Basketball Court of Commerce and Economics and I chased you then!”
