Night of Destiny

“Is she with you now?”

“No, she’s out.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Did she mention breaking up with you?” Sophia asked again. Ezekiel was taken aback. “Mom, how did you know she wanted to break up with me?”

How could his mother, who was thousands of miles away, guess it?

“Did you break up with her?” Sophia asked again. Ezekiel firmly said, “Of course, I won’t break up with her, Mom. I will never end our relationship. I love her.”

Sophia heard her son’s heartfelt words, and she said on the other end, “Ezekiel, I did something foolish. I met Miss Mayo privately and persuaded her to end things with you.”

“You asked her to break up with me?! Why?” Ezekiel asked in surprise.

Sophia, on the other end, could only explain the whole story to her son and finally said to him, “I want to apologize to Miss Mayo now, so can you hand her the phone?”

“She’s not with me right now. Mom, find out who that person is as soon as possible. I want to know who dares to do such a thing behind my back. They will certainly pay for it!”

“My people are investigating, and there should be results today. When you bring Miss Mayo back, let’s have a meal together!”

“Okay, Mom! I will bring her back to see you today.” Ezekiel said hurriedly. Now, he finally knew why Harmony wanted to break up with him. It turned out that his mother had met her privately. Thinking of how he had punished her all night because of this, Ezekiel couldn’t help but feel guilty.

He got dressed and went downstairs to find Harmony. At this moment, Harmony and Sera were discussing the next steps in the hotel’s cafe.

Just as Harmony was about to say something, she looked up and saw Ezekiel coming over. She quickly gave Sera a look. “Sera, stop talking, he’s here.”

Sera quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Weiss, you’re here. Have a seat.”

“Sera, can I talk to Harmony alone?” Ezekiel asked.

“Of course! You guys talk,” Sera agreed and left, leaving Harmony at a loss as to how to face Ezekiel. She just held her tea cup and started drinking.

“I know why you want to break up with me. It’s because of my mom, isn’t it?” The man across the table said directly.

Pfft! Harmony, who hadn’t had time to swallow her tea, sprayed it directly onto Ezekiel’s face. Ezekiel was also completely caught off guard, believing he hadn’t done anything to deserve such treatment.

Spooked, Harmony quickly took a napkin and came over. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” she apologized as she hastily wiped his face.

“You did it on purpose,” Ezekiel grumbled somewhat aggrievedly, staring at her with his amber eyes.

“I really didn’t.” Harmony felt guilty, too.

Ezekiel held her hand in his. “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”

Harmony wanted to pull her hand back, but the man held it even tighter.

“How… How did you know your mom wanted us to break up?” Harmony asked him after regaining her senses.

Since he has also learned about it, he should end things with her and not make it difficult for his mother.

“My mom told me,” Ezekiel revealed.

A hint of pain flashed in Harmony’s eyes. “So… you’re here to negotiate our breakup, right? I’m willing to break up. I don’t want to make things difficult for your family. I don’t want you to fall out with your family because of me.”

Ezekiel frowned. “Break up? Haven’t you ever thought about fighting for our relationship till the end?”

Of course, Harmony had thought about it, but wouldn’t it only make things difficult for his mother?!

“I don’t want to cause any inconvenience for anyone. I would rather bear the pain on my own for a while than bring harm to your family,” Harmony spoke honestly, simultaneously retracting her hand. “Now that you are aware of our breakup, let’s bring it to a clean conclusion!”

Ezekiel abruptly pulled her back into his embrace. “That will depend on whether you can manage the substantial termination fee.”
