A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 138

At this moment, she didn't know what it felt like in her heart. He suddenly came to propose in public, and although she could feel his love, what about Lucille Mclean's problems? She didn't want to marry him when the problem wasn't fully resolved, and she didn't want these unstable factors always around her.

William Rowland also froze.

"Hurry up! I haven't seen Sammy for days!" She said, "I want to see that kid!"

She finally looked sideways and met William's deep eyes, and she froze for a moment. She felt uneasy as his eyes were scary at this moment.

She was just about to speak, but the car seat fell. She hurriedly tried to get up.

But he leaned onto her, and his hands braced on both sides of her body. He was trapping her to prevent her from getting up, and he was constantly shouting with a hoarse voice. "Sherry, let's get married. I'm serious. My dad agreed, and you know it's hard for him not to object!"

"If your father were against it, you wouldn't marry me, would you?" She raised her eyebrows.

He froze and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant! I am going to live with you whether dad agrees or not!"

"Let me up!" Sherry tried to push him away from her, and her face was full red.

"Marry me! I'll get up if you promise me!" His vision was locked on her eyes.

"No!" She shook her head firmly.

"Why?"

Sherry choked, his eyes were so deep as if he could look into her heart. She turned her head, not continuing to look at him, and said feebly, "Because I don't know if I will also become the past."

As soon as she spoke, she saw that his expression was a little stiff, and he seemed to be a little hurt. She became anxious and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked with something, so she could not make a sound. She panicked and tried to push him away, but realized that she had no strength to move him at all.

"Are you still angry?" He asked in a low voice, and his tone was sad. "Over those photos yesterday?"

She was even more upset as he mentioned those photos, and with a bitter smile, she said in a low voice, "William, have we ever taken a single photo together?"

He froze because of her words. Although it was kind of sad, she was telling the truth. Yes, he realized that it seemed that there was only a child between them after she said that. Other memories were so little, and he had not even taken a photo with her!

He wanted to say that he did not mean to, but he found that his explanation was useless.

"Let's go take photos if you want, alright? We'll go to Hokkaido again!" He said hurriedly. "Let's take lots of photos!"

He wanted to make it up to her to give her the best memories and to make her forget the pain.

She shook her head and twitched her mouth. She became more sorrow as she looked at him closely. "Letting you leave me behind again, is it? Last time, I was poor, but now, will I still be foolish enough to go out with you?"

"Sherry!" He shouted in low voice. "I'm sorry.…"

He realized that he was overdoing it, and was always ignoring her. When she said that, he was speechless, not knowing how to explain.

She couldn't bear to hurt him any further and said sincerely, "I can feel that you love me, yet I also feel that you love Lucille at the same time. If you want me to give you a reason why I won't marry you, this is it! Maybe you don't even know it. You love her more than you love me."

"That's not true!" He quickly explained.

Instead, she pressed her hand against his lips. "I don't mean to blame you! Hear me out."

He nodded in pain.

"You were so careful to preserve your memories with Lucille, and I also thought the past was the past, but you couldn't let go of your past. Ms. Mclean does not recognize you now, and do you know how down you were when you heard her words? That look on your face hurt me so much! Maybe you thought that I was upset because of those photos, but not totally because of it, William. It was also because of the look on your face! When she said Will was blue-eyed, do you remember how down you looked then?"

He really did not notice that he felt so miserable?

William asked himself in his heart and frowned. His black eyes were deep, and showed his annoyance. Didn't he remember if it was because of the unintentional look on his face that made Sherry so upset?

"Today, you proposed to me openly on your knees, and I am very touched, but I cannot marry you!" Sherry murmured; she felt a chill in her heart.

Something became clear in her heart, and her mind was instantly clear too. ‘Yes, can't marry him!’

She wanted too much. She wanted a one-to-one relationship, and if she could not spend her life in a couple, she'd rather not get married and abandon love.

Although she knew that her current appearance was a little pretentious and fake, she just wanted to protect her dignity, and she had the right to defend her dignity.

William frowned, "Sherry, I don't know how to explain about those photos, and I don't know how to explain my feelings to you."

"Then, don't explain it!" She said quickly, but deep down, she was upset. "I don't want to hear explanations either. William, I don't want to feel aggrieved, and I don't want to unfairly treated! So, I can't marry you!"

"If you don't want to marry me, can you still see me?" He asked softly and no longer forcing her. His long fingers lightly touched her smooth cheek and lightly picked away the hair that was sticking on her face.

She was stunned. She really had not thought about this question before.

If I don't see him…

She didn't know how she would feel in her heart.

He kissed her forehead, and the atmosphere was sorrow. "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say to you again except that I'm sorry…"

"Then don't say anything!" She closed her eyes and held back the sadness.

"I'm sorry, Sherry! Why do I always treat you unfairly?" He murmured and came back up.

Sherry felt a lightness on her body, and the seat rose. He bowed his head without saying anything.
