A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 103

Sherry heard the accusation of William in his tone and couldn't help but say, "No, it's not. He just got into a temporary situation and didn't get around to it. He probably wasn't expecting it!"

"He's left you here, and you're still speaking for him. Miss, aren't you too kind? Didn't your parents teach you? A woman can't be too kind or she'll be bullied!" Cohen was verbose in a rare way like he was lecturing a junior.

Sherry was a little embarrassed, but she could hear the concern in his tone. She said, "No, Mr. Spencer, thank you for your kindness. William really had something to do, and he was in a hurry!"

She was sure William didn't mean to leave her here! Something must have happened, and it was her fault for following him out without any money. This was a lesson for her. She should bring money with her next time she went out!

"How can you be so simple? Do you know that men can't be trusted!" Cohen spoke again in a serious tone.

Sherry froze and asked. "Then you can't trust me either?"

Cohen was stunned. How could he forget that he was also a man, but he still said stubbornly, "I'm different! I'm a good man!"

Sherry wanted to laugh. She was grateful to see him speak up for herself so painstakingly. But he wouldn't lend her money, so she'd better think of another way!

"I'm going in!" Saying that, she headed inside the hotel.

"Wait, how much money do you want?" Cohen suddenly asked.

Sherry turned around sharply and asked with surprise, "Mr. Spencer, you are willing to lend me money?"

Sherry was a little surprised. She thought he wouldn't lend it to her!

"It's just money! Money is a son of a bitch, let's spend it and earn it. You tell me, how much do you want?" Cohen took out his wallet, drew a card, and handed it to Sherry, "The password is 1234567. Spend as you like!"

"Mr. Spencer?!" Sherry didn't know how much money was in that credit card, but he seemed generous enough to even tell her the password. She was grateful. "I don't know how much money is in it. How am I going to pay you back?"

"What? You're afraid there's no money in it? Are you afraid that I'll blackmail you?" Cohen asked with a smile. At this moment, Sherry actually felt that his smile was somewhat kind. Maybe it was because he looked like Liam!

"I just want to know how much I will pay you?"

"There is a million, not much. If it's not enough for you to spend, you can talk to me again!" He was very generous and not so petty about money.

"Ah! So much! Aren't you afraid that I won't pay you back?"

"Then there's no need to pay it back!" Cohen waved his hand. "If you feel really sorry, just accompany me in for a drink. I'm getting upset inside!"

Sherry was stunned, "You have something bothering you too?"

Cohen was puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't I?"

Sherry smiled and explained, "Because the ancient people have said, At the age of thirty, one knows the rules and can stand firm in society; at the age of forty, one is more knowledgeable and can listen to different kinds of arguments without being confused; at the age of fifty, one knows the destiny that nature has given to people; at the age of sixty, one can distinguish truth from falsehood and judge right from wrong when one listens to the words of others; at the age of seventy, one can follow one's heart and not overstep the rules. You must be over forty. Why do you still have things that bother you?"

"Little girl, you are very learned!" Cohen laughed. "Let's go. We don't drink, let's have coffee! Look how careful you are! Forget it, we don't drink!"

"Well!" Sherry didn't feel good about refusing him again. After all, he was so generous, and he had the nerve to lend her money when they had just met. She felt she would be ungrateful to think any more.

The two sat in the cafe, chatting idly.

"Miss Sherry, what does your father do?" Cohen asked as he took a sip of coffee.

Sherry's eyes dimmed, "My father passed away early. He used to be a truck driver!"

"I'm sorry!" Cohen didn't expect this, "What about your mother?"

Sherry paused and said slowly, "My mother is also gone!"

Although Sierra was still alive, but in Sherry's heart, her mother had gone years ago. From the day she abandoned her with Luke, she was gone!

"Oh!" Cohen didn't say anything else.

Sherry wanted to ask him what his relationship with Susan was but felt it was too abrupt. She tried several times but didn't ask, just too worried about Leon's future with Susan. But Cohen didn't seem like a bad guy either!

"When are you going back?" Cohen asked again.

"I'll go back to my country early tomorrow morning." She'd wanted to go back for a long time, but William hadn't let her. Now that he had something to do, it was time for her to go back.

"I'll go back tomorrow morning too. Why don't we go together?" Cohen smiled.

He didn't say anything, and Sherry didn't know what was bothering him. They only drank one cup of coffee and he said to go back to rest, so Sherry also went back to her room.

Looking at her back, Cohen's eyes were a little deep. No one knew what he was thinking!

Sherry went back to pack her baggage, after finishing everything, suddenly someone came knocking on the door, she opened the door and found it was the driver they employed these days, "Madam, Mr. Rowland asked me to send you back home. He's got a flight to France! You take the early morning flight tomorrow. You should rest well tonight. Here's the ticket!

"France?" Sherry was a little worried. "Did something happen?"

The driver shook his head. "I wouldn't know about that!"

"Oh! Well then, I'll pack my things!" Sherry's heart was in turmoil, "Thank you!"

"Don't mention it, ma'am!" The driver said and then left.

Sherry's heart became even more uneasy. That phone call, she heard it was Liam calling. But what on earth could have made William fly to France in the middle of the night!

There wasn't really much luggage, and she packed it up quickly. Sherry ran her hand over her belly, wondering if a baby was being conceived here. Hopefully not, because she hadn't really sorted herself out yet!

The next day, Sherry returned with Cohen. They had some small talk during the journey, but nothing important. Sherry still did not know what his relationship with Susan. She only felt sorry for Celia and Leon!

Just off the plane, at the pick-up point, Sherry said to Cohen, "Mr. Spencer, this is your card. I didn't use it. But thank you anyway!"

Cohen took the card and just smiled, "You don't have to be polite. Miss Sherry, do you need me to drive you home?"

"No, I can take the bus!" She said with a smile.

She was just about to turn around when she suddenly saw Susan. She was astonished, "Sherry, why are you with him?"
