Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 1104
“It‘s nearly time. Let‘s go!” Rita then drove to a nearby restaurant.
Meanwhile, an engaged couple had arrived before them. Though the couple was doing long–distance, they maintained a good
and loving relationship despite the odds. They were all gathered here tonight to chat and reminisce about the old times over
dinner.
“Hello, there, Rita and Ruka! It‘s been a while.”
“Long time no see, Benedict and Bethanie! I‘ve even prepared your wedding gift! All I need now is your wedding invitation!” Rita
said while grinning.
“Soon! Our wedding will take place next year.”
Ruka also bestowed a blessing on them. At that moment, someone entered from the outside as the waiter opened the door for
them. Emerging from the entrance was Jethro, who came hand–in–hand with an elegant girl. She was wearing heavy makeup
and had a maturity about her that belied her age.
With a drink in her hand, Ruka froze mid–air, nearly choking on herself.
Is Jethro holding hands with his ex–girlfriend? Did they rekindle their romance?
“I hope you don‘t mind my plus–one! I got back together with Momo and I specially invited you guys out for dinner today to
introduce her to all of you,” Jethro said with a smile while gently embracing the girl beside him.
“Hello, everyone!” Momo smiled as she scanned Ruka.

Clearly, she had a better understanding of the people in the room. For instance, she was aware of the people who had a close
relationship with Jethro.
Rita comforted Ruka by patting her hand under the table. She was also surprised to see Jethro go against his words and rekindle
his relationship with his ex–girlfriend. Now, Ruka‘s confession was meaningless.
Furthermore, when he looked at Momo, his eyes were gentle and drawn, indicating that he had never forgotten his sultry ex–
girlfriend.
For a moment, the atmosphere went stiff as another guy, Justin, tried to reignite the party by diverting the subject. “Why are you
late? We‘ve been waiting for you this long, so raise a glass.”
Throughout the night, Ruka had to sit through watching Jethro taking care of his girlfriend while his girlfriend was displaying
affection in front of everyone, like
feeding each other and narrating their great love story.
Ruka was reaching for her third glass of wine when Jethro and Momo finally left for their next party after which the others
departed as well.
