A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 131

Sherry mentally prepared herself a long time ago, but when she actually saw the intimate scenes before her very eyes, she still felt quite painful inside.

She felt as though a knife cut through her heart, and tears began to stream down her eyes uncontrollably; their intimacy burned right into her eyes!

Sherry felt as if energy was being sucked out of her body. Her gaze was still fixated on William and Lucille kissing. They looked like such a great couple; and now, these memories deeply pierced into her heart!

But the present Lucille was in a fragile state. Maybe after she recovered, she will become another great beauty that everyone loves, and William might fall in love with her again.

Maybe Darcy was right; Sherry will just be part of the past!

Suddenly, Sherry felt a shadow shroud over as someone sat across from her.

Ugh, she thought. She raised her head, only to see a tall and handsome man, as he handed her a napkin.

She was frozen in place; she only now just realized that she was crying.

She hastily shut the album and placed it on the table. She didn’t take the napkin, but smeared away the tears with her hands and said, “Mr. Reggie, why are you here!”

Reggie did not say anything, but he picked up the album and began to flip through it.

“Mr. Reggie, that’s mine!” Sherry reached over to take it back.

Reggie dodged, then he coldly glanced over at Sherry, then said in a low tone, “I was just curious as to what would possibly make such a beautiful girl cry out in tears!”

Upon hearing this, Sherry frowned and sat down. She didn’t say anything, and Reggie continued to browse.

She shut her eyes and inhaled deeply; her heart still felt congested.

She could never forget how deeply in love William and Lucille used to be. She could never forget his gentle tone of voice when he first said “Lucy!” over the phone! In the end, if you really love someone, you would deeply mind every little detail!

Why was she so unable to let it go? Why did she feel such sadness and sorrow in her heart, even though she knew all these were in the past! She knew Darcy was trying to force her to leave William, but she still felt deeply hurt.

As Reggie flipped through the album, his expression became more and more solemn. Upon the last page, his hands tightly gripped the album, as if he was about to tear it apart.

Sherry raised her head and saw his distorted face, which made his handsome face quite fearsome. “Mr. Reggie, are you alright?”

Hearing her worry, Reggie managed to crack a thin, dry smile; his gaze glanced by indifferently as he shut the album and placed it on the table. “This looks like a photo collection of William Rowland and his previous girlfriend!”

“Do you know Lucille as well?” Sherry’s eyes widened. Lucille has left for well over three years; how would he know her? She looked at him with doubt, then saw that the areas on the album where he had touched seemed a bit bent out of shape! How much force did he apply?

“How do you feel looking at this?” Reggie locked his eyes on Sherry.

She was caught off guard for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, “Miserable!”

"Oh?"

“But I’m alright now!” She forced a weak smile; there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows. She continued, “I always think that, the past is the past, so we must cherish what’s before us now. These photos are part of the past, and Lucille kept these photos, not William. Her sister gave it to me to try and make me leave William. But, I believe William loves me right now. No one can erase the past, nor can I turn back time, so might as well accept it.”

“Can you really let go of the past?” Reggie asked in a low voice, as if he was both asking Sherry and himself at the same time.

“Haha, when the one you love is lovey-dovey with someone else right before your eyes, how many people can pretend not to see it? It’s impossible not to be affected, but what can you do? Compared to how much I love him now, as intense as the past love was, it’s insignificant!”

“Ms. Murray! There’s something quite precious in this world, and that’s called memories. Some people still live in their past and can’t move on, and they might be together again in the future. Would you still think so then?”

Sherry felt her heart twitch. As she raised her head, her eyes met with Reggie’s cold stare. His gaze was like an abyss, trying to see through her, so she quickly averted his gaze. “I will wish them all the best!”

He had on a crooked smile, “If you really didn’t mind, then why are you crying?”

Her heart began to race; what a terrifying man, it’s as if he could read her thoughts completely. It was true, she was not able to remain detached, and she just wanted to calm herself down. But she knew that her heart would not let her deceive herself; in the deepest reaches of her heart, she still felt the overwhelming emotions came pouring out!

Sherry took the album, and Reggie’s eyes followed. “If you don’t want to see these photos, why not give them to me! I quite enjoy collecting photos of beautiful men and women!”

“Mr. Reggie, if you enjoy collecting such photos, you’re better off finding someone else’s; there are men far more handsome than this man, this man’s no good!” Sherry said with a smile; she did not like his tone of voice, as if he saw through everything.

“Do you plan to keep it and look it over every now and then?” He asked.

Again with the questions; Sherry was puzzled by his intrusive actions.

What does any of this have to do with him?

Sherry remained calm and replied, “Mr. Reggie, this is my personal affair; how I choose to deal with it is my business!”

Reggie slowly raised his head to look at her.

The two of them sat across the dinner table. Reggie’s cold, emotionless face looked a bit surprised as he kept looking on at Sherry. This woman surprised him a bit; she was neither timid nor dominating, but her eyes seemed straight and true.

“Goodbye, Mr. Reggie!” Sherry placed the album in her bag, stood up, and turned around to leave.

Reggie leaned back on his chair as he watched her leave. His bushy hair seemed to cover his line of sight, but that grin on his mouth left an unsettling feeling.

Sherry left the Seah Restaurant, and a cold breeze came to embrace her, causing her to shiver. She felt an emptiness in her heart, so empty that it hurt.

She looked down at the album inside her bag; the pain and suffering suddenly flashed by again in her eyes. How could she possibly feel nonchalant? If you love someone, you wanted all of that person. Even though she couldn’t change the memories of the past, she still felt a bitterness in her heart.

Suddenly, her cell rang.
