Chapter 457 Strangers

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What?" Renee said with a red face. The smile on his face almost melted her heart and she couldn’t
believe she expected him to kiss her again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ah! Was she out of her mind? Thinking of that, Renee pushed Miyamoto away as if he were a snake or
a beast.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Listen, if you kiss me again, I'll get off the boat, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other! " Renee
said with a sad look.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But Miyamoto was in a good mood after hearing her words. "I can let you kiss me back if you feel a
loss," he joked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Renee’s cheeks puffed up like a balloon, and she jumped up from the swing angrily, "Talk to the hand. I
can’t believe you took advantage of me. We have agreed. How could you change your mind? "
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I just kissed you and didn't ask you to have sex with me. If you want to, I do not mind. Anyway, I have
not had sex for a long time. I really want to meet the needs!" Miyamoto said, looking at Renee's angry
face with pleasure.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Humph! You pervert! " Renee wrinkled her nose and turned around in anger.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;What was wrong with him. This man tried to take advantage of her. It was so disgusting! What's more,
she allowed him to kiss her for such a long time instead of pushing him away right away. She felt less
uncomfortable at the thought that the kiss was mixed with sweet sugar, the fresh tobacco, and the
unique masculinity of Miyamoto!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Well!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was all his fault!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Renee felt like she was a slut as she didn’t feel any shameful being kissed by Miyamoto.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Although they were all singles, they should not be so intimate!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Renee, who was in a daze, failed to sort out her mind.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After bathing, she changed her pajamas and lay in bed, and she still could not stop herself thinking
about it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was annoying. Renee did not know why she was so obsessed with his kiss. She couldn’t be more
annoyed at the thought of his warm thin lips as she touched her lips with her fingers.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Renee! What’s wrong with you! You’re an anthomaniac woman," she scolded herself with her face
buried in the pillow. But she was still unable to calm down, her face burning.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Was she some mighty empress in her previous life?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Was that the reason she was such a slut in this life?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the dim night, the moon hung in the sky, Miyamoto stood in the yard, frowning. He looked a little
tired, but a faint smile was visible on his face. He went inside after taking last drags at his cigarettes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Owen had already been sleeping under the care of the nanny. He took a look at Owen before leaving.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Passing by Renee's room, he found the light in her room was off!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Inside the room, however, hearing his footsteps, Renee was slightly shocked and she became upset.
He was nothing but a partner of her. He was a kind man who saved her from her parents' suffering. She
kept telling herself that he was just a normal friend of hers, and she would take the kiss as an interest!
She was not a slut! From tomorrow on, she had to behave herself!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;...&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the hospital ward.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was too quiet to breathe sometimes, and Leila was there, speechless.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;A week passed in a flash.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The hospital informed her that she would be discharged on Monday, which would be tomorrow.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;This week, Vincent stayed with her every day, and she never cried and rarely spoke after releasing her
emotion last time. She said to herself, "Leila, you must be strong!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It must be fate that she lost the child! Once, she said to Renee that she would be alone if there was no
child, and she would not be with Vincent. It seemed that she and Vincent were not doomed to be with
each other. She laughed sadly, hoping that they stopped torturing each other!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She looked up at Vincent, who was looking at her with bloodshot eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"We shall talk!" she said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent nodded, having a bad feeling. He said in a hoarse voice, "Okay!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Your mother is not in good health. She is your mother anyway. Please spend some time with her!" she
said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Looking at her, Vincent was stunned before he said slowly, "She hurt you and your family. Now you
want me to spend some time with her? Leila?" Vincent asked in disbelief.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila turned to him, and said in a low voice, "She is your mother. No matter what she did, she is your
mother, the only one. Don't make yourself regretful in the future!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent was stunned by her words and his heart ached for her. "You silly girl!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Have as much time with her as you could!" she added.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He stopped talking.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They looked at each other for a long time, speechless. Vincent’s heart ached for her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'll be discharged tomorrow!" Leila said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well!" He nodded and remained quiet to wait for her words.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Don't come here tomorrow!" she said, without looking at him, and turned her eyes towards the window.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent was stunned with a pale face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Repressing the pain, he clenched his fists with a frown. A thousand confused thoughts come to his
mind as his throat rolled a few times. His eyes were fixed on Leila and he said nothing.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'll come back to my house tomorrow, and then I'll leave F City. Would you stop following me? Don't go
to City R. It’s better for us not to live in the same city."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her words were like a knife breaking his heart. He looked at her with concern and felt much distressed
to see her grow thinner!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It might be a truth that she was too tired of being with him, and she wanted to leave him because she
was worn out! That was the reason she chose to leave.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"How can I make you feel happy and not so tired?" he asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I want to be alone. Is that okay?" she asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Finally, she said it. Was she trying to break up with him?&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;If it was in the past, he would not agree, but he didn’t think he deserves her anymore after going
through a lot and he would only hurt her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Fine!" he said in a cracked voice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;A hint of sorrow passed across Leila’s heart as she thought that they would have nothing to do with
each other in the future, but she also determined to leave.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent’s eyes were lingering on her, and he was heartbroken to see how slender she was. She had
bigger eyes and a pointed jaw on her delicate face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;However, her eyes were as clear as they were before, devoid of any distractions like a little girl’s.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent stretched out his hands and held her in his arms. "Leila, you promise me that you will be happy
no matter where you are!" he choked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila was in a trance, feeling the warmth through his clothes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She nodded, murmuring, "I will be very happy! You too! "
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent reluctantly released her, turned around with his eyes closed. "I'm gone, I won't come tomorrow!
I won't go to City R, and I won't look for you. Don't worry! Be happy."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well!" She nodded faintly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Goodbye!" He finally strode away.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The moment the door closed, Leila turned her eyes to the window.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was a lonely night.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;People came and went in the street, but under the noise, there was a figure who seemed to be away
from the soul, wandering in the crowd. Several times, he was bumped by passers-by.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He held the lamp post beside him, tears welling up in his
eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With empty eyes, Vincent slightly raised his head to fight back the tears, but he failed, and tears ran
down his face, slid into the mouth, with the pain that could not be suppressed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He had to let it go!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He walked alone in the street with tears on his face in despair!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;People all over the street, looked at this well-dressed man, squatting on the ground, shedding tears.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The next day, when Leila was discharged, Vincent didn’t show himself as expected.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But Ted came with the last share transfer, 20% of the group. Miss Hunter, Mr. White asked you to sign
it!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila looked down and shook her head. "I don't want it!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"But Mr. White said whether you sign or not, it's all yours."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila was stunned and hesitated for a long time before she took Ted’s pen and signed her name.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After coming back home, Mabel asked, "Have you made your decision?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mom, I don’t feel like saying anything. Could you respect my decision this time, OK?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Mabel nodded.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey delayed her trip to the United States because of Brian's sudden death. The next day after she
was discharged from hospital, Leila went to City R, and Macey went to the United States.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Two months later.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At the police station in City R.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;A young girl in police uniform came out of the police station with a black leather bag in her hand.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Hi! Leila, off work?" a young male colleague greeted.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With a faint smile, Leila looked calm and indifferent after the vicissitudes of life. She had her hair cut,
looking bright and lovely. After being through a lot, she had become a gentle and quiet lady with
calmness and peacefulness on her face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well! It's time to get off work!" Leila responded with a smile.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Now, she was admitted to the City R police station and became a new police officer in the archives
office.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She rented a small apartment by herself. After work, watching TV, raising some potted flowers, drinking
tea, and giving her mother a call was her daily routine. She led a peaceful life.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila didn't come to Miss Spencer, afraid that she would cause any trouble to her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Arthur called after knowing that she left F City. At that time, she just told him faintly, "Arthur, we are
friends all our life. Take care of yourself. No matter where I am, I will bless you from my heart!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After refusing Arthur’s offer to see her off, Leila went to City R by train.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After two months, she was admitted to the police station and trained.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;On Monday.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the office.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Leila, there is an activity in the bureau. Every year, new colleagues will take part in a one-month
training at a training base of F City Police Station. Get yourself prepared to attend training with other
new members of the bureau! I seem to remember that your family is from F City. It's time to go back
and have a look!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hearing this, Leila was completely stunned. She had never come back in these two months, and she
did not expect to go to F City for training. For a moment, she was slightly stunned, and the team leader
said, "Well, don't you want to go back?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila replied, shaking her head. "I do!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
