A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 119

Before Sherry said anything, Celia screamed again, "Aah! Another cute child! This child is so handsome! Who is this?"

She thought to herself, was this the child whom she only saw once from five years ago?

Celia looked to Sherry excitedly who nodded and said, “Celia, this is Samuel! My son…”

“Ah! So I have two godsons! Come here, baby, I won’t be biased; both of you all give me a kiss!” Celia said as she moved up to hug Samuel, then left a red kiss mark on his face.

Samuel’s face flushed red immediately and he turned back to look at Sherry.

Sherry let out a laugh, “Samuel, this is Ms. Celia!”

“Oh, baby; I hugged you once when you were born. Other than the doctors, I was the first to see you! Even before your mom! Oh, come now, are you shy?” Celia said enthusiastically.

“Hello, Ms. Celia!” Samuel finally spoke, but he still felt slightly afraid inside.

“Good boy!” Celia continued to hug him, then, with both children still in her hand, she noticed another tall figure in the room.

“Oh! Who is he?”

Keegan realized that this fashionable woman barely noticed him just now, and Sherry laughed. “Celia, this is my coworker, Keegan!”

After the introduction, Celia felt apologetic, “So sorry, I was so excited to see my godsons that I didn’t notice you!”

“No worries!” Keegan didn’t mind; he put the ingredients he held in the kitchen. “Sherry, you go rest; I’ll let you know once food’s ready!”

“Mr. Keegan, you know how to cook?” Daniel asked.

“Course!” Keegan said and nodded.

“Wow! That’s awesome!”

Celia noticed that Sherry’s eyes were red and confusedly asked, “Are you alright?”

“She’s not feeling well; the doctor said she needs to rest more and recover!” Keegan replied.

“Oh, I see; no wonder her face looks ill. I’ll help cook, the kids can go play, and Sherry, you go rest! I’ll help out Keegan!”

“Will you now?” Sherry laughed; she knew that Keegan was really hopeless in the kitchen!

Celia frowned; she said in a low voice, “Hey, even if I’m not good at cooking, I gotta pretend I am, no? I can help wash vegetables or something. I can’t let our guest do all the work in his first visit, right?”

“Hahah… Fine, you help Keegan, I’ll go to the room and rest!” Sherry’s cell rang; it was William calling. Her face turned pale for a second.

“Sherry, is it William?” Celia noted the tension Sherry felt. “Is it really over between you two?”

“It’s fine! I’m alright. You go helpKeegan!” Sherry said as she headed to her room.

She hung up the call and put her cell on the table.

William saw his call rejected; his hand tightened its grip on the steering wheel until his knuckles were white. A shroud of grimness overshadowed his face, and as he tried to call again, he realized his hand was shaking!

Sherry’s cell rang again; she had to pick it up this time.

“Sherry, where are you? I’ll go get you!” William said hastily.

“You’ve got the wrong number! If you call this number again, I’ll change numbers!” Sherry said in a low voice; there was a slight tremble in her tone.

“Sherry, at least tell me where you are? Someone said you went to get a hotel room with a man, is it true? I need to know!” He blurted out everything that ran through his mind.

But as soon as he said this, Sherry’s entire body froze in place.

Get a hotel room?

Get a hotel room with a man?

She tightly held a cup in hand and took quite some effort to bring it to her lips. Though the water was rather warm, she only felt coldness, so cold that her entire body shivered.

“Sherry, are you really planning to sleep with another man?” William continued to ask in a trembling manner, “Are you planning to torture me like this?”

Sherry felt as if her heart had plummeted into a bottomless abyss; she could only feel sweat form on the back of her hand. She put the cup down and held onto the table to support herself. Her heart throbbed in pain.

Who would say such a thing to him?

But she was furious, angered that he did not believe in her integrity! Why would he so easily believe anyone that said she ran off to sleep with another man? If she was so fickle, then maybe she would not feel so much pain!

His mistrust in her made her feel as if she was in an ice locker. As her heart still trembled, she replied coldly, “That’s right! I’m going to sleep with another man! What’s that got to do with you, Mr. Rowland?”

Suddenly, there was no reply, just the sudden screeching sound of an emergency brake on the other end of the phone…

“William? William?” Sherry’s heart pounded, but there was no reply. Then, there was only a beeping tone; the call was cut off!

Her blood stood still; Sherry was motionless, and as if the air in the room began to freeze over, she began to shiver.

She called back, but there was no answer…

“Sherry, what’s wrong?” Celia came in the room to check on Sherry, only to see her running about in a panic.

“An accident; Celia, William might be in an accident!” Sherry’s cold hands grabbed Celia’s.
